Your Smile Makeover


A Smile Makeover is a set of procedures designed to take care of all of your cosmetic dentistry needs. Every smile makeover is unique. You and Dr. Kleive will work together to create the plan, and it will be executed at the pace with which you are comfortable.

Communication and planning are two key elements in successful and long-lasting cosmetic dentistry. When you work with Dr. Kleive the decision-making process is a partnership and you have control over the timeline and the results.


Patient Before and After: Smile Makeover


Creating the Plan

The plan for your smile makeover will be tailored to accomplish your goals with end results of good dental health as well as outstanding aesthetic results. Dr. Kleive will listen to your desires and present you with options that accommodate your lifestyle, comfort level, budget, and of course, your dental needs.

Your smile makeover could include any combination of procedures. It might start with tooth whitening, since porcelain veneers could then be matched to the new tooth color. If you have old metal fillings, Dr. Kleive could replace them with porcelain inlays or onlays which will look like part of the tooth.

If you feel your smile is too “gummy”, Dr. Kleive could do some gum recontouring to expose more of the tooth tissue in your smile. Any gaps left by missing teeth could be filled with porcelain teeth anchored by dental implants. There are other possibilities too, depending on what your overall goal is and your overall dental status.

Creating the plan before you undergo any procedures ensures that you do not have overlapping procedures or any unnecessary dental work. In the long run, this saves you time and money, and is easier on your teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry at Your Pace

When we create your smile makeover plan, we will also be creating a timeline. Dr. Kleive believes in working at your pace. If you want full results as quickly as possible, we will schedule procedures in quick succession.

However, you do not have to do everything at once. We can help you create the most appropriate treatment plan to fit into your life. We recognize that various factors contribute to planning, such as time available, prior commitments, unexpected surprises and finances. We phase dental treatment over a period of time that is appropriate and comfortable for each person’s unique and changing circumstances.

Beautiful, Natural-Looking Results

Cosmetic dentistry is both a science and an art. A smile makeover is the ultimate example of this combination, delivering optimal function and natural beauty that is both healthy and long-lasting.
