Smile makeover
A more confident smile starts with a thoughtful plan
A smile makeover combines cosmetic and restorative treatments to improve the appearance, balance, and overall harmony of your smile. At Ortega Cottage Dentistry, each plan is tailored to your goals, your oral health, and the changes that will make the biggest difference.
What we do
A smile makeover brings multiple treatments together to improve how your smile looks and feels
A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan designed to address the concerns that affect the appearance of your smile. Depending on your needs, that may include improving color, shape, spacing, alignment, worn edges, or missing teeth through a combination of carefully selected procedures.
At Ortega Cottage Dentistry, smile makeovers are approached with both aesthetics and function in mind. The goal is not simply to change your smile, but to create an outcome that looks natural, feels balanced, and fits your features comfortably.

Why it matters
The right changes can transform more than appearance
When several cosmetic or structural concerns affect the smile at once, treating them one by one may not create the most balanced result. A smile makeover takes a more complete view, helping each improvement work together.
01
Creates a more balanced overall result
When shape, color, spacing, or wear are addressed together, the final outcome often feels more natural and cohesive than isolated treatment alone.
02
Improves confidence in everyday moments
Many patients seek a smile makeover because they feel self-conscious when speaking, smiling, or being photographed. A well-planned result can change how comfortable you feel showing your smile.
03
Allows intentional treatment planning
Instead of reacting to one issue at a time, a smile makeover looks at the bigger picture. This helps prioritize treatment in a way that supports both aesthetics and long-term function.
04
Addresses cosmetic and structural concerns
A smile makeover may improve appearance while also restoring worn, damaged, or uneven teeth. That makes the outcome both visual and practical.
05
Supports a more personalized result
Every smile has different proportions, goals, and challenges. A smile makeover is built around what matters most to you, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
Designed around the changes you want to see
Smile makeovers can be used to improve a wide range of cosmetic and functional concerns. The exact treatment plan depends on what is affecting your smile now and what kind of result you want to achieve.
Discoloration or staining
Worn, chipped, or uneven teeth
Spacing and alignment issues
Old dental work that looks mismatched
Missing teeth or larger structural concerns

What's Included
The right combination depends on your smile
A smile makeover is not a single procedure. It is a customized combination of treatments selected based on your goals, oral health, and the changes needed to create a more balanced result.

Treatment Process
A smile makeover starts with a clear vision

Benefits
Why a comprehensive plan often creates the best result
Smile makeovers are often effective because they look at the smile as a whole. Instead of correcting one concern in isolation, treatment is designed so the final result feels more intentional, balanced, and complete.
More natural smile harmony
When several concerns are improved together, the smile tends to look more cohesive and less pieced together.
Better sequencing of treatment
Combining procedures under one plan helps make sure each step supports the next and contributes to a more refined outcome.
Result that supports confidence
For many patients, the greatest benefit is feeling more comfortable smiling openly and naturally again.
A beautiful result deserves the right maintenance
After a smile makeover, long-term maintenance depends on the treatments included and your daily habits. Good oral hygiene, routine exams, and professional cleanings all help protect the result and keep your smile looking its best.
We’ll guide you on how to care for your restorations, what to be mindful of day to day, and how to preserve the improvements over time. The goal is not only to create a stronger result now, but to help it last.
