Smile Makeover is a process of improving the appearance of a smile through various procedures which are cosmetic or surgical. Smile makeover takes into consideration the tooth color, tooth size, tooth shape, tooth position, lip position, lip length, gum position, and gum color.

PROCEDURES INVOLVED IN SMILE MAKEOVER:
1. Veneers/Crowns
Veneers are thin tooth colored custom made shells that are fixed on the labial surface of teeth to change their color, shape, and size. These improve the appearance of front teeth. Crowns are also tooth-colored custom made shells but they cover the full surface of the tooth. They also make the tooth stronger.

2. Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a process of removing stains from the tooth surface and restoring the natural color of the teeth. Whitening is a one-time procedure performed by a dentist. It is amongst the most common and widely adopted cosmetic procedure.

3. Composite Bonding
Permanently attaching a tooth-colored material (composite) onto the tooth is called composite bonding. This can be Direct or Indirect. Direct composite bonding can be used by dentists on the chair to do fillings, repair fractured edges and close gaps. Indirect bonding is usually done in the lab.
