Smile Makeover
A smile makeover in Reston, VA: one personalized plan that combines cosmetic and restorative treatments, previewed with a wax-up before you begin.
One plan for every part of your smile
A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic and restorative procedures to address all aspects of your smile. Instead of treating one concern at a time, the plan looks at color, shape, alignment, gaps and missing or damaged teeth together, so each step supports the next. Dr. Kiumars Karbasi takes the time to understand your goals and builds a plan that fits your lifestyle and your budget. We can show you a wax-up of your new smile before you begin, so you can see where the plan is heading. With a plan in place, we can also help you set a realistic timeline and budget for your makeover.

Smile makeover FAQ
- What is a smile makeover?
- A smile makeover is a way to enhance your smile through a combination of cosmetic and restorative treatments that give you the look you want. We believe a comprehensive treatment plan is the most effective approach, because it addresses multiple issues at once. The plan is customized to your needs and goals. With a plan, we can also help you set a realistic timeline and budget.
- How long does a smile makeover take?
- The length of a smile makeover depends on which treatments your plan includes. Some treatments can be completed in a single visit to our office. Others, such as certain kinds of dental implants or orthodontic treatment, may take months. Once we determine which services suit your smile, we create a treatment schedule.
- How much does a smile makeover cost?
- The cost of a smile makeover depends on the number and kind of treatments your smile needs. Without first performing an exam and working up a treatment plan together, it is difficult to give you an accurate cost. We encourage you to schedule a consultation so the process can start. Financing options can help you spread the cost of a larger plan over time.
- Can I see my new smile before treatment starts?
- Yes, we can show you a wax-up of your new smile before you begin treatment. A wax-up is a model of the planned result, so you can see the changes before any work is done. It helps you and your dentist agree on the goal. Nothing is started until you understand the plan.
- What treatments can be part of a smile makeover?
- A smile makeover can include teeth whitening, dental veneers, tooth bonding, laser gum reshaping, Invisalign, dental implants and dental crowns. Your plan combines whichever of these suit your dental needs and esthetic goals. During your consultation, your dentist discusses which treatments would help you reach your dream smile. Most plans combine two or more of them.
- Can a smile makeover help with my bite as well as my appearance?
- A smile makeover can potentially improve speech and bite alignment as well as appearance. That is because a makeover can include restorative treatments, not only cosmetic ones. Invisalign improves both the look and the function of your smile, and implants restore your ability to eat and speak. We look at how your teeth work together when we build your plan.
