Planning Your Smile Makeover

A smile makeover starts with understanding what you would like to change and how those changes fit with your dental health.

  1. Discuss your goals: Dr. Kelkar will ask what you like about your smile, what you would like to improve and which changes matter most to you.
  2. Evaluate your oral health: Your teeth, gums, bite and existing dental work are examined before cosmetic treatment is planned.
  3. Review your options: Dr. Kelkar will explain the treatments that can address your concerns and how they differ in preparation, maintenance and expected appearance.
  4. Create a treatment sequence: If several procedures are involved, they are organized in an order that supports both function and appearance.
  5. Complete and maintain your treatment: After treatment, our dentist will explain how to care for your teeth and restorations and what follow-up care is needed.

Benefits of a Coordinated Cosmetic Plan

Planning several cosmetic concerns together can provide advantages over approaching each tooth or procedure separately.

  • Creates a more coordinated approach to tooth color, shape, alignment and proportion.
  • Allows restorative and cosmetic needs to be considered together.
  • Helps prioritize treatments based on your goals and oral health.
  • Provides a clear sequence when several procedures are needed.
