Smile Makeover
Why Consider a Smile Makeover
At Prostho Cosmetic Dentistry, our comprehensive smile makeover process doesn’t just enhance your teeth.
We create a transformative harmony between your smile, facial features, and personal aesthetic goals.
Unlike single procedures that address isolated concerns, our smile makeovers combine multiple treatments into a cohesive, personalized plan that corrects everything from discoloration and worn edges to alignment issues and missing teeth. Dr. Shin brings his specialized prosthodontic expertise and artistic eye to each case, considering not just individual teeth but how they work together with your lips, gums, and facial structure to create a naturally beautiful result.
What truly sets our smile makeovers apart is our commitment to both aesthetics and function. We create smiles that not only look spectacular but also feel comfortable and function properly for years to come. Using digital smile design technology, we can even show you a preview of your new smile before treatment begins, ensuring your complete confidence in the planned outcome. Ready to discover how a smile makeover can transform your appearance and confidence? Schedule your consultation today.
At Prostho Cosmetic Dentistry, our smile makeovers stand apart through our comprehensive diagnostic process that goes beyond basic aesthetics.
Dr. Shin brings his specialized prosthodontic training to analyze your entire oral system, including facial proportions, lip dynamics, gum architecture, and bite function creating a smile that beautifully complements your unique facial features while ensuring long-term stability and comfort.
This holistic approach is enhanced by our in-house digital workflow that eliminates guesswork through 3D facial scanning, digital smile design technology, and diagnostic wax-ups that let you preview and refine your new smile before treatment begins.
We collaborate closely with master ceramists who craft custom restorations with exceptional artistry, capturing subtle variations in translucency, texture, and color that mimic natural teeth.

The timeline for a smile makeover varies significantly depending on the specific procedures included and their complexity, typically ranging from a few weeks to several months.
At Prostho Cosmetic Dentistry, we provide realistic timeline expectations during your consultation, creating a treatment plan that balances efficiency with optimal results. For patients with time constraints, we can often design phased approaches that provide visible improvements early in the process while working toward the final result.

In contrast, full mouth reconstruction addresses significant functional problems such as extensive tooth damage, missing teeth, severe wear, bite irregularities, or jaw joint disorders, focusing first on restoring proper function and oral health, with aesthetics as an important but secondary goal.
At Prostho Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Shin’s specialized prosthodontic training uniquely qualifies him to perform both types of comprehensive treatment. Many patients actually need a combination approach that addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns simultaneously.
During your consultation, we’ll perform a thorough assessment to determine whether your needs are primarily cosmetic, functional, or both, and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Maintaining your smile makeover results requires a partnership between excellent home care and professional maintenance. For daily care, we recommend using a soft-bristled electric toothbrush with non-abrasive toothpaste, flossing daily with proper technique, and using a protective nightguard if you have grinding habits.
Professionally, commit to regular hygiene visits every 3-6 months for specialized cleaning of your restorations and early identification of any potential issues. At Prostho Cosmetic Dentistry, we provide a personalized maintenance protocol based on your specific treatments, including custom-formulated homecare products that are safe for your restorations and periodic professional touch-ups as needed.
Certain lifestyle habits can impact longevity. Minimizing staining substances like coffee and red wine helps maintain whitening results, while avoiding using teeth as tools or biting hard objects protects veneers and bonding. With proper care, your smile makeover can remain beautiful for many years, with some components potentially lasting 15+ years.
