Your Smile, Re-Designed — With You in the Room
A smile makeover is not one procedure — it is several well-chosen treatments sequenced around your exact goals. Whiter? Straighter? A chip that has bothered you for years? We photograph, shade-map, and discuss until the plan is genuinely yours, then phase treatment properly (whitening often first; veneers and ortho follow logic, not fashion).
Several Disciplines, One Hand on the Wheel
Veneers, ClearCorrect, whitening, contouring, and even BOTOX-in-context planning live in the same room at our office. Dr. Shirley handles each step himself, so the person deciding the final shade knows exactly what was planned months earlier. The order of operations saves rebuild money: whitening always comes before aesthetic restorations because porcelain holds its landed shade permanently; alignment usually precedes veneers because less prep is needed when teeth sit right; gum correction precedes both because frame first, picture second. That order exists for your benefit — it is also natural-first. Treatments can spread over months with costs remaining transparent per phase; most makeovers finish between four and six visits and feel complete by the event they're paced for. Clients often arrive expecting makeover to mean veneers — frequently it does not. A case study we like: two years of staining from a coffee job plus one superficial chip looked like a big cosmetic repair and fixed quickly with supervised whitening, selective bonding, and a polish — no porcelain needed. Makeover is a result allocation, not a package sale.

Thinking about smile makeover?
Appointments are never double-booked — first evaluation includes a written plan with estimated costs.
Is a Makeover Right for You?
Honestly, anyone whose smile bothers them — that is the qualification. Within that, candidacy across phases is checked individually: healthy gums first, alignment before veneers, realistic whitening before porcelain. If phase one satisfies you — stop there. That is a successful makeover too. Between sessions, patients get temporaries and mockups that look refined — commuters notice you mid-flight, not mid-process.
- Color and alignment together
- Chips or worn edges across several teeth
- A specific event on the horizon
- Post-braces or post-ClearCorrect refinement
Makeover Pricing Structure
Each phase is quoted individually in writing before it begins, so the total is known before anything is booked; CareCredit monthly plans are available.
Whitening vs. Veneers vs. Aligners — Sequenced
Not every makeover needs porcelain. Whitening often carries 70% of the visual lift alone, aligners carry more when alignment is the irritant, and veneers close the remainder. We sequence from least to most invasive.

You will be seeing us for months. Walking distance means consultations, phases, and reviews are practical instead of a drain.
