Smile Makeovers in Thornton, COA smile makeover is a plan.
The phrase gets sold as a package. At Valley View it means something specific: a personalized sequence designed from your face, previewed before commitment, and built in the order that protects your teeth and your budget.
Facially Driven Design
Nine things we study before anything touches a tooth.
A makeover designed from a shade guide and a stock smile chart will fit a stock face. Yours is designed from you.
Smile goals
What bothers you, what you love, and the photographs you wish looked different.
Facial proportions
Lip line, smile width, and the facial features your teeth should harmonize with.
Tooth proportion & shape
Length-to-width relationships, edge character, and the subtle asymmetries worth keeping.
Color
A target shade in harmony with your eyes and skin: brighter, still believable.
Alignment
Whether moving teeth first would let us restore less, and better.
Gum display
How much gum shows when you laugh, and whether recontouring belongs in the plan.
Bite & function
The forces that will act on every restoration, designed for rather than discovered later.
Existing dentistry
Crowns, fillings, and old cosmetic work that the new design must replace or respect.
Oral health
Gum and tooth health that everything else is built upon.
Sequencing
Order is a design decision.
Whitening before shade selection. Alignment before porcelain, when moving teeth means restoring fewer of them. Bonding where it serves; veneers and esthetic crowns where they earn their place; restorative work woven in so health and beauty finish together.
Where it helps, we preview with mock-ups and well-crafted temporaries: a live draft you can wear, critique, and refine. The porcelain isn’t made until the design is agreed.
The Shape of It
How a makeover actually unfolds
The design consultation
Photographs, digital scan, bite and gum assessment, and the conversation that matters most: what you want, and what you want to keep.
Options at more than one scope
Two or three honest plans with trade-offs and exact written fees. Conservative paths presented first, not buried.
Preview & refine
Digital designs, wax models, or temporaries you live with. We adjust until it feels like you.
Treat, in sequence
Each step in its right order, at a pace you set, with maintenance designed in from the first appointment.
A Sequenced Case
A smile makeover, before and after
A dull, uneven smile with irregular edges and gumline margins, redesigned into bright, balanced front teeth with natural shape, translucency and healthy-looking gum contours. Planned around this patient’s face, bite and goals.
Every smile responds differently to treatment. These cases illustrate our approach. Individual results vary, and your plan will be designed around your own teeth, health, and goals.

Smile makeover questions
Deeper reading: What makes a makeover look natural? and Invisalign as the first chapter.
Is a smile makeover one procedure?
No. It’s a personalized plan that may combine whitening, aligners, bonding, veneers, esthetic crowns, and restorative care, sequenced in the right order. Some makeovers are two visits; some unfold over a year.
Will I see the result before committing?
Yes. Depending on the case, we preview with digital smile design, a wax model, or sculpted temporaries you wear and live with. Significant changes are never a surprise reveal.
How long does a smile makeover take?
A bonding-and-whitening refresh can finish inside a month. Plans that begin with alignment typically run nine to eighteen months, and are usually the reason the final result can be conservative.
What does a smile makeover cost in the Denver area?
Scope drives cost more than any average can capture. You’ll receive exact written fees for each option after your consultation, along with financing paths if helpful. We’d rather show you two honest plans than one inflated number.
I don’t want to look “done.” Is that understood?
It’s our specialty. Most of our patients bring exactly that worry, and the design process (proportions from your face, previews before porcelain) exists to protect it.
Curious what your version would look like?
A cosmetic consultation is a conversation, not a commitment: photographs, honest options, and a digital preview of your result before you decide anything.
