Smile Makeover in Ballantyne, NC

What Is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is not a single treatment — it’s a thoughtfully planned combination of cosmetic services that work together to give you the results you want. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry recognizes cosmetic dentistry as the branch of dentistry focused on improving the appearance of your smile through treatments that enhance balance and symmetry. That’s exactly how we approach things at Imagine Dentistry.

Every smile makeover starts with a conversation. We want to understand what you love about your smile, what you don’t, and what an ideal result looks like for you. From there, we map out a treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns using the best combination of available options.

What Concerns Can a Smile Makeover Address?

A smile makeover in Ballantyne at Imagine Dentistry is designed to treat a wide variety of esthetic and functional concerns. Some of the most common issues that bring patients to us include:

• Stained or discolored teeth that don’t respond to standard whitening treatments
• Chipped, cracked, or worn-down enamel
• Gaps, spacing issues, or overcrowded teeth
• Uneven gum lines or asymmetrical teeth
• Missing teeth or visible areas of tooth loss

No two smiles are the same, and no two makeovers at our practice look exactly alike. After reviewing your goals and completing a thorough exam, we build a plan that makes sense for you.

What Treatments Are Included in a Smile Makeover?

The beauty of a smile makeover is that it can pull from a wide range of treatments. Depending on your specific concerns, your customized plan at Imagine Dentistry in Ballantyne may include one or several of the following options.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to change their shape, size, color, and overall appearance. They’re one of the most popular treatments included in smile makeovers because of how dramatically they can improve a smile’s esthetics in a single step. Veneers are a long-lasting, highly esthetic option, though it’s worth noting that, like Bioclear, veneers are not easily reversible — which is why a detailed consultation is so important before moving forward.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is often one of the first steps in a smile makeover, helping to establish a base shade that other treatments can be matched to. Over-the-counter products tend to deliver inconsistent results, while our professional whitening options are carefully tailored to your enamel and goals. A brighter baseline makes everything else we do look even more cohesive!

Bioclear

Bioclear is a technique-driven, minimally invasive treatment that uses warm composite to fill in and reshape teeth. At Imagine Dentistry, Dr. Coambs is one of the only certified Bioclear providers in the Carolinas, and she is highly knowledgeable and a true authority in this treatment. Bioclear rejuvenation is especially sought after for closing black triangles, those small dark gaps that appear between teeth near the gumline due to bone loss or recession. It can also be used to reshape the back molar teeth when needed. Patients who seek out Dr. Coambs specifically for Bioclear are most often dealing with black triangle closures, and the results are remarkable.

Invisalign

If overcrowded teeth, gaps, or misalignment are part of your concerns, Invisalign® may be incorporated into your smile makeover plan. Using a series of clear, removable aligners that are updated every two weeks, Invisalign gradually moves teeth into a better position without the look of traditional metal brackets. Dr. Coambs uses our state-of-the-art iTero Lumina scanner to create highly accurate 3D digital scans of your teeth, eliminating the need for messy impressions and giving us a precise starting point for your Invisalign treatment plan.

Dental Implant Restoration

For patients whose smile makeover involves addressing areas of tooth loss, Dr. Coambs provides implant restoration services. She works with dental specialists who place the implants, and she specializes in the restorative work above the gumline, including crowns, bridges, and other restorations that give your implant a natural, beautiful appearance that fits seamlessly into your new smile.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover in Ballantyne?

Most adults who are unhappy with one or more aspects of their smile are candidates worth talking to us about. A smile makeover works best for patients who have a healthy foundation to build on, meaning any gum disease, cavities, or other underlying concerns should be addressed first. That’s why our consultation process is so thorough. We take the time to look at your full oral health picture before recommending a course of treatment, so that your results are not just beautiful, but lasting.

Patients don’t need to have a long list of concerns to pursue a smile makeover. Sometimes a single persistent issue, like stubborn discoloration or a gap you’ve been living with for years, is reason enough to explore what’s possible.
