SMILE BRILLIANTLY, Live Beautifully.
A smile makeover is for the moment when one small fix is not enough. Maybe the color bothers you, but so does the shape.
Maybe the teeth are worn, crowded, short, chipped, or no longer match the way you want to show up in photos. The goal is not to make you look like you had dental work.
The goal is to make your smile finally feel considered.
At Dentistry at East Piedmont, a smile makeover is a coordinated cosmetic plan designed around your face, your bite, your goals, and the result you want to live with every day.
It may include porcelain veneers, Invisalign®, whitening, CEREC® crowns, implants, or restorative work. The procedures only belong in the plan if they serve the final smile.
We map the outcome first, then work backward. That is how a makeover becomes one cohesive smile instead of a collection of disconnected fixes.

FOUNDED 2001 · 3 DOCTORS · REAL PATIENT SMILES ONLY
Smile makeovers ask for both artistry and restraint. Dr. Ashish Patel's advanced cosmetic dentistry training informs how our team designs each plan, but the real work is choosing what belongs and what does not.
Beautiful results come from proportion, color, bite, lip movement, and facial balance working together.
We start with the questions that shape the whole case. How do your teeth frame your face?
What does your smile do when you talk and laugh? Where do you feel self-conscious?
What would make the result feel like you, only more confident? Then we map the procedures in the order that protects the final design.
Your treatment happens in private, modern treatment rooms with digital scanning, photography, and the comfort layer Dentistry at East Piedmont is known for: noise-cancelling headphones, warm blankets, customizable TVs, and sedation options when appropriate.
Every smile you'll see on this page belongs to a real patient who said yes to sharing their transformation. **No stock photos.
** Every face is someone who walked through our doors and trusted us with their smile.
We study your smile line, facial proportions, lip movement, and the way you talk and laugh before designing the plan.
Veneers, whitening, alignment, implants, and restorative work are sequenced into one plan instead of handled as disconnected fixes.
Your makeover timeline is mapped around the number of visits, healing windows, events, and milestones that matter to you.
Once the final smile is complete, we plan the cleanings, retainers, night guards, or maintenance needed to help protect it.
Real patient stories make smile makeovers easier to understand. Every transformation below belongs to someone who walked through our doors and said yes to sharing their story.

Your dentist evaluates facial proportions, smile line, lip shape, and the way your smile moves before designing the plan. The result should look like a more polished version of you, not a generic smile placed on your face.
Veneers, whitening, alignment, crowns, implants, and bite work all affect one another. We map the sequence before treatment begins so each step supports the next.
A beautiful makeover still has to function. Materials, bite, gum contours, and maintenance are planned so the result looks good in photos and holds up in daily life.
A smile makeover doesn't just change your teeth. It changes how you carry yourself, how you greet people, how you show up in photos. Patients tell us they didn't realize how much they were hiding until they didn't have to anymore.
You sit down with one of our doctors and talk through the smile you want. We take photographs and digital scans, study your face and bite, and ask what you would change if you could change anything.
Behind the scenes, your case is designed in detail. Tooth proportions, color, shape, bite, gum contour, and treatment sequence are considered together.
You see the plan before work begins.
Your makeover unfolds over the timeline mapped in your plan. Some patients finish quickly.
Complex cases can take several months. We pace the work around your life and check the result at each milestone.
Your final smile is placed, polished, and reviewed against your goals. Then we map the maintenance plan: cleanings, recall, retainers, night guards, or anything else your specific result needs.
A smile makeover fits when the goal is bigger than one isolated fix and the foundation is healthy enough to support the result.
If you have active gum disease, untreated cavities, significant bite issues, or large structural problems, we'll start by stabilizing those issues before cosmetic work begins. A smile makeover built on an unhealthy foundation won't last.
The most reliable way to know what your makeover would involve is the consultation itself.
A smile makeover is a personal investment in how you look, feel, and present yourself every day. The scope depends entirely on the procedures involved.
A subtle veneer refinement and a larger plan that includes alignment, crowns, or implants are very different cases. We walk you through the investment after the plan is mapped to your goals.
Because most procedures in a smile makeover are cosmetic, dental insurance typically does not cover them. Restorative portions, like crowns used to repair damaged teeth, may contribute when your plan has out-of-network benefits.
We file as a courtesy when applicable and make every effort to estimate your portion, but estimates are not a guarantee.
To make a smile makeover manageable, we partner with reputable third-party lenders for financing.
Most patients qualify for flexible monthly payment plans, including longer terms for larger transformations so the investment fits comfortably into a budget.
The most reliable way to know what your smile makeover would involve is the [consultation](https://book. modento.

With proper care, the procedures in a smile makeover are designed to last decades. Porcelain veneers and crowns commonly hold up for many years before needing replacement.
Implants are designed to last a lifetime when the surrounding bone and gums stay healthy. Whitening fades gradually and may need touch-ups every so often.
Your mouth is in constant use, under constant stress and friction, so your routine cleanings, recall visits, and at-home maintenance directly impact how long your makeover holds up.
Your treatment plan includes the long-term care protocol that protects your investment.
A smile makeover combines whatever procedures will get you to the smile you want.
That can be as simple as professional whitening paired with a few porcelain veneers, or as comprehensive as veneers, implants, Invisalign, and crown work coordinated over several months. The procedures aren't decided in advance.
They come out of your consultation, where we map backward from your goal to the treatments that get you there.
Anywhere from two appointments to twelve months, depending on what's involved. A whitening-plus-veneers makeover can be done in two to three weeks.
A makeover that includes implants needs healing time (typically 3–6 months between phases). A makeover with Invisalign follows the orthodontic timeline (6–18 months for the aligner phase).
Your treatment plan will include a realistic timeline from day one, paced around your life.
A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic. It focuses on improving how your smile looks.
A full mouth reconstruction is primarily restorative. It rebuilds bite function, structural integrity, and oral health when there's significant damage from decay, wear, missing teeth, or trauma.
The procedures often overlap, but the starting point is different. We'll tell you honestly which path applies to your case during your consultation.
