Research shows that your smile plays a significant role in how you express yourself, how confident you feel, and how others perceive you. The new year often brings thoughts of self-improvement, and for many people, that includes addressing problems with their smile.
At Kathryn Jodry, DDS, we help patients explore cosmetic dentistry options that fit their goals, lifestyle, and budget. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your smile, a dental makeover might be the path that finally gets you there. Here’s what you should know to start the new year with renewed confidence.
Our smile makeovers consist of two or more cosmetic or restorative dental procedures. Instead of addressing problems separately, we look at the whole picture to create a balanced and natural result, including your:
Whether you want brighter teeth, better alignment, or a more youthful smile, a makeover lets us design a plan tailored to you. We customized each step to support both beauty and long-term oral health.
The new year brings opportunities to invest in yourself. A confident smile can affect everything from first impressions to how you show up in daily life. Patients often tell us they feel more positive, motivated, and self-assured after completing their makeover.
Most adults who want to improve their smile qualify for some level of cosmetic care. Ideal candidates typically:
Before starting, we always address underlying issues like cavities or gum disease. A healthy foundation gives cosmetic treatments the best chance to last for years.
Your smile makeover may consist of any mix of these popular options:
We brighten your smile using safe, effective whitening treatments that lift stains from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and everyday wear. It’s one of the quickest ways to make a noticeable improvement.
Veneers are thin coverings that adhere to the front of your teeth. They help correct chips, gaps, discoloration, and uneven shapes. They deliver a dramatic transformation while remaining natural-looking.
Bonding reshapes or repairs teeth using tooth-colored resin. It’s a great choice for small chips, cracks, or spacing issues, and we can often complete it in a single visit.
If you have damaged or missing teeth that affect your smile, crowns and bridges restore strength, shape, and appearance. They support both function and cosmetic results.
If your smile appears gummy, gentle gum reshaping can create a more balanced, symmetrical look.
Every makeover looks different because every smile is different. During your consultation, Dr. Jodry walks you through your options and helps you choose treatments that align with your goals and timeline.
Cosmetic dentistry also supports oral health. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, crowns protect weakened teeth, and whitening treatments can encourage better hygiene habits. A makeover boosts both form and function.
Your smile makeover begins with a detailed consultation. We take digital images, assess your oral health, and discuss what you want to change. You can also share photos of smiles you love so we can understand your style preferences, such as bright and bold or soft and natural.
Once we have a complete picture, we create a personalized smile makeover plan. Some patients complete their makeover in one or two visits, while others spread treatments over several months, or longer if they require orthodontic treatment.
Throughout the process, we make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and in control of every decision. Your smile makeover should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
If you’ve been thinking about making a change, this may be the perfect moment. We design smile makeovers that look natural, feel comfortable, and reflect your personality.
