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.

How We Personalize Smile Makeovers 
to Help You Reach Your Goals

With the assistance of wax-ups and digital technology, we can plan your smile makeover and help you envision your results. After all, you play a huge role in your treatment, and it's our goal to give you a strong, healthy smile that you'll be proud to share.

How Do I Know If I'm a Smile Makeover Candidate?

The only way to find out for sure is to visit Dr. Slaman for a free consultation. Until then, it can help to know what we look for in an eligible smile makeover patient:

No Unresolved TMJ Problems

We like to think ahead. Because the grinding and clenching from TMD can damage both natural teeth and cosmetic dentistry treatments like bonding and veneers, you have to address any temporomandibular joint problems before seeking a smile makeover.

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.

Ineligible for a Smile Makeover?

Even if you're dealing with problems like missing teeth, gingivitis, or teeth grinding, you've met an Albuquerque team that can help. Our dentist is known for offering comprehensive care, including dental implants, periodontal treatment, and mouth guards. Once your oral health is under control, then he can safely begin planning your custom smile makeover.

Smile Makeover Timeline

Because each treatment plan is unique, different patients experience different treatment timelines. Patients undergoing relatively simple procedures like teeth whitening can achieve their newly upgraded smile in two appointments or less, while patients with more advanced concerns like a missing tooth or crooked teeth may require several months to achieve the desired results. Regardless of how long each unique treatment plan takes, every patient can expect the following stages of treatment:

Consultation

During your free consultation at our office in Albuquerque, NM, Dr. Slaman will examine your teeth and gums, analyze your overall oral health, and ask questions about your cosmetic goals before recommending which treatments he thinks are right for you.

Simulation

We believe it is important for patients to be able to visualize their results. At the end of your consultation, Dr. Slaman will use simulation software to show you an image of what your smile will look like at the end of your treatment. He can also create a 3D wax-up or temporary restoration, which you can try on.

Treatment

Once you and our dentist settle on a treatment plan, we will schedule your procedures. Some treatments, like whitening, may be able to be completed on the same day as your consultation, while others require more time.

Smile!

At the end of your smile makeover journey, you will have a stunning new smile that you can be excited to share with your friends and family.

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.
