A smile makeover can improve much more than the appearance of your teeth. When planned carefully, it can restore function, comfort, and confidence while supporting the long-term health of your smile. At Broda Family Dental, every smile makeover is customized around the individual, not built from a standard cosmetic formula.
Our office combines advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry with digital technology, conservative treatment planning, and detailed Smile Design principles. Whether you are addressing worn teeth, discoloration, missing teeth, bite changes, or older dental work, Dr. Broda focuses on creating natural-looking results that fit your face, goals, and long-term oral health.
Summary: A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan designed to improve the appearance, health, and function of your smile. Treatment may include veneers, crowns, whitening, implants, bridges, or other restorative and cosmetic procedures depending on your needs.
We offer full mouth rehabilitation at our dental office in Boulder, CO.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover, also referred to as full mouth rehabilitation, is a personalized treatment plan designed to improve the look, balance, and health of your smile. It may include one treatment or a combination of services, depending on your goals, oral health, bite, tooth structure, and expectations.
The goal is to design a smile that fits you, feels comfortable, and supports your oral health over time.
Planning Your Smile Makeover
Great cosmetic dentistry starts with listening. Before recommending treatment, Dr. Broda takes time to understand what you want to change, what you like about your smile, and what type of result would feel natural to you.
During the planning process, we evaluate:
- Tooth shape, size, color, and proportion
- Gum health and gum symmetry
- Bite function and tooth wear
- Existing dental work
- Missing, cracked, stained, or damaged teeth
- Facial balance and smile line
- Your timeline, priorities, and expectations
This Smile Design process helps us create a plan that feels realistic, intentional, and aligned with your goals.
Digital Planning and 3D Printed Mockups
We use digital planning and 3D printing to help guide full mouth rehabilitation . These tools allow us to design and test ideas before final treatment begins.
A digital design mockup can help you preview possible changes to tooth shape, length, and overall smile balance. It also helps us plan treatment more precisely, communicate options clearly, and avoid unnecessary guesswork.
What Can a Smile Makeover Improve?
Full mouth rehabilitation can address several concerns at once. Your treatment plan may focus on cosmetic improvements, restorative needs, or both.
Common reasons patients consider a smile makeover include:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Worn or shortened teeth
- Chipped, cracked, or uneven teeth
- Old dental work that no longer blends well
- Missing teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth that look too small or out of proportion
- A smile that looks aged, uneven, or unbalanced
- Bite changes that affect comfort or function
Before beginning cosmetic treatment, we also look closely at your gum health, bite, and existing tooth structure. A beautiful result should also be healthy and stable.
Treatments That May Be Included
Every smile makeover is different. We recommend treatment based on what will give you the best combination of esthetics, function, and tooth preservation.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can improve the shape, color, length, and symmetry of visible front teeth. They may be a good option for teeth that are stained, worn, chipped, slightly uneven, or naturally smaller than desired.
Veneers are planned with a conservative mindset. When possible, we aim to preserve healthy tooth structure while creating a natural-looking result.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns may be recommended when a tooth needs more strength, coverage, or structural support than a veneer can provide. Crowns can improve both appearance and function for teeth that are cracked, worn, heavily restored, or weakened.
We offer CEREC same-day crowns using non-metal zirconia or glass ceramic materials. These restorations are designed for strength, esthetics, biocompatibility, and a precise fit.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening can brighten the overall smile and may be completed before veneers, crowns, or other restorations so the final shade is planned intentionally.
We offer take-home whitening options, including Opalescence and Burst whitening strips. We do not currently offer in-office whitening.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge can replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth or implants. Bridges can help restore chewing function, fill visible gaps, and support a more complete smile. Depending on the case, bridges may be made in office or sent to a dental lab.
Dental Implants
Dental implants can replace missing teeth with restorations that look, feel, and function more like natural teeth. They may be part of a smile makeover when tooth loss affects appearance, chewing, or long-term stability.
Dr. Broda places many dental implants and restores implants in-house. For more complex cases, especially full-mouth implant surgery, he works closely with trusted local oral surgeons. In those cases, the oral surgeon performs the surgical phase, and Dr. Broda handles the restorative planning and final restorations.
Composite Restorations
Composite fillings or bonding may be used to repair smaller areas of wear, chips, decay, or old fillings. At Broda Family Dental we follow biomimetic principles when restoring teeth, with a focus on preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
What To Expect During the Smile Makeover Process
Your treatment begins with a complete evaluation and a conversation about your goals. We want you to understand your options, the sequence of care, and what each step is meant to accomplish.
Your process may include:
- Consultation and goal setting: We discuss what you want to improve and what type of result feels right for you.
- Comprehensive exam: Dr. Broda evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, jaw, existing restorations, and overall oral health.
- Digital records and planning: We may use digital impressions, photos, CBCT (3D) imaging, intraoral cameras, digital planning, and 3D printed mockups to guide the case.
- Health-first treatment: If needed, we address gum disease, decay, infection, or unstable teeth before cosmetic treatment begins.
- Smile Design preview: When appropriate, a design mockup helps you review proposed changes before moving forward.
- Restorative or cosmetic treatment: Your plan may include whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges, implants, or composite restorations.
- Final adjustments and maintenance: We check fit, bite, comfort, and esthetics, then recommend ongoing care to protect your results.

FAQs
Does a smile makeover look natural?
A well-planned smile makeover should look effortlessly beautiful and natural. It should not look overly white, bulky, or artificial. At Broda Family Dental, the goal is natural esthetics that fit your face, bite, and long-term oral health. We want people to notice your amazing smile, not your teeth.
Can I preview my new smile before treatment?
Absolutely! We use digital planning and 3D printed design mockups to help patients preview proposed changes before treatment begins. Smile makeovers are temporarily tried on in the mouth before finalizing the design.
Is a smile makeover painful?
Most smile makeover procedures are not painful and are performed with local anesthesia when needed to keep treatment comfortable. Comfort during treatment depends on the procedures involved, and sedation options may also be available for longer or more complex cases.
Is it expensive?
Each smile makeover is individualized and tailored to your specific goals and needs. Smile makeover needs can range from just whitening to small fillings to a complete rebuild. Therefore, costs can vary significantly. We practice responsible esthetics and always ensure the recommended treatment is sustainable and reaches the outcome you want. The best step is to come in for an esthetic consultation with Dr. Broda for personalized recommendations.
