A smile makeover is not one procedure, it is a personalized combination of treatments built around what is actually holding your smile back, whether that is discoloration, chips, gaps, missing teeth, or a bite that has never felt quite right. At Colonia Dental Associates, we design each smile makeover around your specific goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all package.
Dr. Ashlee N. Apratim, D.M.D., and Dr. Gurjinder Singh, D.M.D., are both Associate Fellows of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) and completed the Rutgers University AAID MaxiCourse, giving them the restorative and cosmetic training to plan a smile makeover that addresses both appearance and function in the same treatment plan.
Treatments a Smile Makeover Can Include
Depending on your goals, a smile makeover at our Colonia office might combine:
- Dental veneers to reshape or brighten front teeth
- Dental bonding for minor chips and gaps
- Teeth whitening to brighten your overall shade
- Invisalign to correct crowding or spacing
- Dental implants or bridges to replace missing teeth
How the Smile Makeover Process Works
Consultation and Digital Imaging
We review your teeth, gums, and bite, take photos and digital scans, and discuss what you would like to change about your smile.
Treatment Plan
Your dentist recommends a specific combination of procedures, in the order that makes sense for your case, along with an estimated timeline.
Staged Treatment
Procedures are completed in stages appropriate to each treatment, from a single whitening visit to several appointments for implants or orthodontics.
Timelines vary widely. A whitening and bonding combination might be finished in a couple of visits, while a makeover involving implants or Invisalign takes several months.
