What Is
a Smile Makeover?
/
A smile makeover is a custom-designed treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic procedures to fully enhance the appearance of your smile. At our Albuquerque dental office, a smile makeover can use treatments targeting your teeth and gums, like dental bonding, teeth whitening, and gum contouring.
Dr. Slaman Explains His Smile Makeover Approach
Dr. James Slaman can combine cosmetic treatments for a custom smile makeover plan that dramatically enhances the appearance of your smile. During your free consultation, he will evaluate the health and appearance of your smile to determine which treatments would most benefit you. Your treatment may include teeth whitening, dental bonding, or orthodontic therapy.
Why Combine Multiple Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures?
Our Albuquerque patients often decide to bundle together several cosmetic procedures at once. That's because a smile makeover from our team is more:
Cost-Effective
At our office, it's less expensive for you to pair cosmetic dentistry treatments in a smile makeover, as opposed to doing them over time. Not to mention, we accept CareCredit® financing, so you can make the cost more manageable.
Transformative
With a smile makeover, you have more potential to completely change your smile. It combines treatments like veneers and gum contouring to refine insecurities concerning both your teeth and your gums.
Targeted
One of the biggest advantages of a cosmetic dental makeover is that it's completely customized to your goals, smile, and budget. Our dentist will work to specifically address your concerns, like discoloration, an uneven gumline, or crooked teeth.

A Comfortable Smile
Makeover Experience
A smile makeover usually takes more than one visit, so comfort matters. Dr. Slaman's team has designed every appointment to help you feel at ease, from your free consultation to your final result.
Amenities That Help You Relax
Settle in with warm blankets and headphones while we care for your smile. You can even enjoy a cup of hot coffee before your appointment. Small comforts like these help every visit feel calm and friendly instead of clinical.
Sedation and Gentle Numbing
If dental visits make you nervous, ask about oral conscious sedation. It helps anxious patients stay relaxed, especially during longer procedures. Dr. Slaman also uses The Wand®, a computer-assisted system that makes numbing injections more comfortable and precise. Comfort options like these make it easier to complete several cosmetic treatments in one smile makeover plan.

Strong, Well-Maintained Teeth
As any good cosmetic dentist will tell you, healthy teeth are a crucial foundation for a smile makeover. After all, you want to have the best possible foundation for treatments like dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or orthodontics.
Healthy Gum Tissue
The health of your gums is just as important as the health of your teeth. Before we can plan treatments like gum contouring, we will ensure that your gums are free from common but treatable dental conditions like gum disease.

Smile Makeover FAQ
Here are answers to common questions about smile makeovers at our Albuquerque, NM, office.
How much does a smile makeover cost in Albuquerque?
Every smile makeover is custom, so the cost depends on which treatments your plan includes. Combining procedures in one makeover is less expensive than completing them separately over time. Your consultation is free, and you will receive a personalized treatment plan and quote before committing to anything.
Does dental insurance cover a smile makeover?
Most insurance providers consider smile makeovers cosmetic, so they typically do not cover treatment. If part of your plan also restores oral health, such as a crown that repairs a damaged tooth, that portion may qualify for benefits. Financing through CareCredit and in-office payment plans can help cover the rest.
How long does a smile makeover take?
It depends on your treatment plan. Patients with simpler plans, like teeth whitening, can finish in two appointments or less. Plans that address bigger concerns, like a missing tooth or crooked teeth, may take several months. Dr. Slaman will map out your timeline during your consultation.
Can I see my results before treatment begins?
Yes. At the end of your consultation, Dr. Slaman uses smile simulation software to show you an image of your expected results. He can also create a 3D wax-up or temporary restoration you can try on before treatment starts.
