Smile Makeovers
If you’re ready to transform your smile, a customized smile makeover can help you look and feel your best. At Vera Dentistry in Woodbridge, VA, we design personalized smile makeovers that combine cosmetic and restorative treatments to achieve your goals — whether that means brighter teeth, better alignment, or a more balanced gum line. Our team will work closely with you to create a plan that fits your vision, timeline, and budget.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan that addresses both the appearance and function of your teeth. It’s ideal for patients who want more than just a single treatment — and instead want a complete refresh of their smile.
Your smile makeover may include a combination of:
- Teeth whitening
- Porcelain veneers
- Dental crowns
- Bonding to repair chips or small flaws
- Clear aligners or Invisalign for discreet tooth straightening
- Gummy smile treatment for more balanced gum-to-tooth proportions
- Retainer repair or replacement, if you're correcting previous orthodontic relapse
Every smile makeover is unique — designed to highlight your natural beauty while correcting the things that have been holding you back.
Gummy Smile Treatment: A Subtle But Powerful Change
A gummy smile occurs when excessive gum tissue shows above the upper teeth while smiling, making teeth look shorter or uneven. For many patients, adjusting the gum line makes a dramatic difference — even without changing the teeth themselves.
At Vera Dentistry, we offer gummy smile treatment as part of our smile makeover planning. Using precise contouring techniques, we gently reshape excess gum tissue to expose more tooth structure and create a more balanced, symmetrical smile.
Gummy smile correction is often combined with:
- Veneers or bonding to improve shape and color
- Whitening for a brighter overall result
- Orthodontic treatments to align gum levels
If you're self-conscious about your gum-to-tooth ratio, we’ll show you how small adjustments can make a big impact — and help your smile look more natural and confident.
Who Is a Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover may be right for you if you’re dealing with:
- Discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth
- Gaps or uneven spacing
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Worn-down or aging dental work
- An unbalanced gum line or “gummy smile”
- A desire for a complete confidence boost
Whether you’re preparing for a big event or simply want to feel better about your smile every day, we’ll guide you through every option — from subtle enhancements to full transformations.

How long does a smile makeover take?
Treatment time depends on your goals. Some makeovers can be completed in just one or two visits, while others may span several months if orthodontics or multiple restorations are involved.
Is a smile makeover permanent?
While no treatment lasts forever, most cosmetic solutions — like veneers or crowns — can last 10–15 years or more with good care and routine cleanings.
Can I include whitening in a smile makeover?
Absolutely. Whitening is often one of the first steps in a makeover to brighten your base shade. We can then match veneers or crowns to your new smile color.
What if I’ve already had dental work done?
We can refresh or replace old dental work as part of your makeover — including veneer restoration or crown replacements — to create a more cohesive and updated look.
Does insurance cover smile makeovers?
Because makeovers are largely cosmetic, most treatments are not covered. However, medically necessary components (like crowns or fillings) may be. We offer payment plans to make care affordable.
