Trial smiles
Temporaries or mock-ups let you test length and shape before porcelain.
Quick Answer
A smile makeover is a planned combination of treatments, not a single sitting. It may mix whitening, bonding, veneers, gum contouring or alignment. Photographs help you and the dentist agree on realistic changes.

What is cosmetic dentistry?
Smile designing is a planned sequence—photographs, mock-ups, then treatments such as bonding, veneers, gum shaping or alignment. It is a process, not a single sitting.
