Is a smile makeover covered by dental insurance?

Cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by insurance, but some restorative elements within a smile makeover may qualify for partial coverage. Our team will help you understand your benefits and explore financing options to make your treatment accessible.

How do I know which treatments are right for my smile?

During your consultation, Dr. Greene will evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and use digital imaging to show you potential outcomes. She designs each smile makeover around your unique facial features and what you hope to achieve.

Can I get a smile makeover if I have existing dental work?

Yes. Many patients who pursue a smile makeover have existing fillings, crowns, or other restorations. Dr. Greene will assess your current dental work and incorporate it into your treatment plan, replacing or updating restorations as needed for a cohesive result.

Q: How long does a smile makeover take?

The timeline varies by treatment plan. Some smile makeovers can be completed in as few as two to three visits over several weeks, while more comprehensive transformations may take a few months. Dr. Greene will provide a clear timeline during your consultation.

A smile makeover isn't one procedure — it's a plan built entirely around you. Dr. Greene blends the right cosmetic treatments, sequenced with care, to redesign your smile in harmony with your face, your lip line, and your goals. It starts with your health and a preview of the result, so you know exactly where you're headed before we begin.

◦ What a Makeover Is

One plan,
every detail.

A smile makeover combines two or more treatments into a single, coordinated plan. Instead of solving one flaw at a time, Dr. Greene designs the whole picture — color, shape, proportion, and balance — so every element works together.

What We Design Around

A Smile That Fits Your Face

A beautiful result is about proportion, not just white teeth. Dr. Greene designs your new smile around the features that make it look natural on you:

Your facial features and overall symmetry
Your lip line and how much tooth shows when you smile
Tooth color, shape, length, and proportion
Healthy, well-framed gums
Your personal goals for the finished look

Why Patients Choose It

Comprehensive, Not Piecemeal

When several things bother you at once, a makeover addresses them together — so the results blend seamlessly rather than looking like separate fixes. And because it begins with a preview, there are no surprises.

A cohesive result designed as one whole
A digital or wax preview you approve first
Phased treatment sequenced for comfort

◦ How It Comes Together

The treatments we combine.

Your makeover is assembled from the treatments that fit your goals. Here's how common concerns map to the procedures Dr. Greene may blend into your plan.

Your Concern	Treatments We Combine
Discoloration or staining	Teeth whitening, and — for stains that won't lift — porcelain veneers.
Chips, cracks, or worn edges	Dental bonding for smaller repairs, or veneers for a full front-tooth redesign.
Uneven or rough tooth edges	Enamel shaping to refine length and contour — often paired with bonding.
Too much gum showing	Gummy smile treatment to rebalance the gum line and reveal more tooth.
Crowding or misalignment	Invisalign clear aligners to straighten first, then veneers or bonding to perfect the finish.
Minimal-prep transformation	Prepless veneers when we can enhance shape and color while preserving natural enamel.

◦ The Gleem Difference

Why the design matters more than the procedures.

Anyone can list treatments. The art is in how they're chosen, sequenced, and shaped into a smile that looks like it was always yours.

Designed Around You.

A smile makeover isn't a template. Dr. Greene studies your facial features, lip line, and tooth proportions to design a smile that looks unmistakably yours — balanced, natural, and in harmony with your face.

01 / DESIGN

See It First.

Before any treatment begins, we create a digital or wax mock-up so you can preview your new smile. You approve the design first — nothing is finalized until the result matches the vision.

02 / PREVIEW

Built on a Healthy Foundation.

Beauty that lasts starts with health. We address any decay, gum concerns, or bite issues before cosmetic work, so your finished smile is as sound as it is stunning.

Every makeover is different, but the path follows the same thoughtful arc. Here's how yours unfolds at our Lakeview studio.

Consultation

Dr. Greene listens to what you'd change, examines your teeth and gums, and captures photos and digital scans. Together you define the goals and confirm your smile is healthy enough to begin.

Smile Design

Using your records, we craft a digital or wax mock-up that previews your future smile. You review the shape, length, and shade — and we refine it until the design feels right.

Phased Treatment

Your plan is carried out in comfortable stages — whitening, veneers, bonding, alignment, or gum work as needed — sequenced so each step builds on the last.

The Reveal

We polish, refine the bite, and reveal your finished smile. Dr. Greene fine-tunes every detail so the result looks effortless and feels completely your own.

◦ Frequently asked

Questions,
answered.

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic — and sometimes restorative or orthodontic — procedures to comprehensively redesign your smile. Rather than a single procedure, it's a coordinated plan built around your facial features, gum health, and goals. It may blend treatments like whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding, and alignment.

How long does a smile makeover take?

It depends entirely on which treatments your plan includes. A whitening-and-bonding refresh can be completed in a visit or two, while a plan involving Invisalign followed by veneers may unfold over several months. At your consultation, Dr. Greene maps out a realistic timeline based on your specific design.

Will I see my new smile before treatment starts?

Yes. Smile design is central to how we work. Before any permanent treatment begins, we create a digital or wax mock-up so you can preview and approve the shape, length, and shade of your new smile. You'll know what to expect, and we refine the design until it feels right to you.

Is a smile makeover only cosmetic?

Not always. While the goal is a more beautiful smile, we always put health first. If we find decay, gum disease, worn teeth, or bite problems, we address those before or alongside the cosmetic work. A makeover built on a healthy foundation looks better and lasts longer.

Do you offer financing for a smile makeover?

Yes. Because a smile makeover combines several treatments, we offer flexible payment and financing options to keep your plan manageable. Our team is glad to review the details during your consultation or on our Insurance & Financing page.
