A smile makeover begins with meeting Dr. Hoop and our team for a scheduled consultation.

Using advanced technology, he will capture images of your smile to further analyze necessary information, as well as discuss which cosmetic solutions are offered in-house. These can include:
Before settling on your treatment plan, though, he will use digital software to simulate what your smile will look like after certain treatments are provided.

Dr. Hoop understands that cost is often the primary factor when it comes to deciding whether a smile makeover is worth the investment. While the services used were once only attainable by the rich and famous, they are now within financial reach of most people.

Ultimately, you can put as many treatments as you want in a smile makeover. It all depends on the cosmetic procedures that the practice offers and your personal wants/needs. For instance, you may want to whiten your smile with a combination of teeth whitening, dental bonding, and veneers. Alternatively, you might want to hide cracked or chipped teeth with veneers and crowns. During your consultation we will discuss your options so we can put together a plan that meets your needs.
A smile makeover’s duration can vary significantly. The number and type of procedures that you are getting will determine how long it takes. Some procedures are completed in a single dental visit. This includes dental bonding, gum recontouring, and in-office teeth whitening. Other treatments, like veneers and metal-free dental restorations usually take about two visits. If you are replacing teeth with dental implants, this process can take several months. During your consultation, we will be able to give you a more specific estimate based on your unique plan.
Just like any other cosmetic treatment, smile makeovers are completely safe and won’t damage your teeth or gums. Veneers and dental crowns do require the removal of a small amount of enamel, but the restorations themselves compensate by protecting your teeth. That being said, not every procedure is right for every patient. If you have a preexisting dental issue, like tooth decay or gum disease, it will need to be addressed and eliminated ahead of time to make your cosmetic procedures safe.
Many patients are hesitant to commit to dental treatment of any kind because they are worried that it will be painful. Fortunately, we will always do everything we can to make you feel as comfortable as possible in the dental chair. Most cosmetic dental treatments are non-invasive, so you don’t even need a local anesthetic. If your teeth need to be reshaped for veneers or crowns, we will numb your mouth beforehand. You may experience some soreness for a few days afterward, but this should be mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
