Charlotte Trusts Our Smile Care What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a combination of cosmetic and restorative dental treatments that are strategically sequenced to address your unique smile concerns. Rather than treating one issue at a time, we’ll take a comprehensive view of your teeth, gums, bite, and overall facial aesthetics to deliver a result that’s natural-looking and built to last.
If you’re dealing with one or more of these issues, you’re likely a great candidate for a smile makeover:
- Stained or discolored teeth that whitening alone cannot fully correct
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Missing teeth
- Teeth that appear too small, too large, or disproportionate
- An uneven or excessive gumline
- Aging, worn, or mismatched restorations
Do any of the above sound familiar? Reach out to our dentists in Charlotte for a personalized consultation. We can recommend the right combination of treatments to deliver the gorgeous outcome you have in mind.
Our Most Popular Smile Makeover Treatments
Depending on your goals and the current condition of your smile, your makeover plan may include any of the following treatments (and others!), performed in the order that makes the most sense for your oral health and cosmetic goals.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin “shells” of high-grade ceramic that are bonded directly to the front surfaces of teeth. They can correct the appearance of chips, gaps, discoloration, minor misalignment, and proportion issues. If you’re looking for a quick and transformative smile upgrade, our team in Charlotte can place same-day veneers using our in-office CEREC® system.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening is a great first step for many smile makeovers because it helps us establish a target tooth shade to guide the rest of the plan. We offer in-office whitening for fast, powerful results, as well as pro-grade take-home kits for beautiful results on your schedule.
Invisalign
Get a straighter smile without visiting the orthodontist thanks to Invisalign clear aligners. Our smile makeover patients love them because they’re discreet, comfortable, and completely removable. Our dentists provide free Invisalign consultations and second opinions.
Dental Implants
Missing even one tooth can affect your bite, jawbone health, and your appearance. We can use dental implants and restorations to replace teeth from root to crown. Dr. Charles Porter has more than 30 years of experience in implant dentistry and specialized training from elite continuing education programs.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a fast and cost-effective option for minor chips, cracks, or surface irregularities. We can sculpt tooth-colored resin directly onto a compromised tooth for immediate aesthetic improvement with no enamel removed. Consider bonding as a conservative alternative to veneers.
Gum Contouring
Do you have a “gummy” smile? Our dentists can use a soft tissue diode laser to reshape and sculpt your gumline, displaying more of your teeth and creating a more balanced, symmetrical frame for your smile.
Dental Crowns
Crowns can restore form and function in teeth that are severely damaged, misshapen, or in need of structural reinforcement. In many cases we’re able to use CEREC® same-day milling to place crowns in a single appointment.
Flexible Smile Makeover Financing
and How Insurance Coverage May Apply
We accept CareCredit® and Cherry financing, which allows you to cover your treatment costs over time with flexible payment plans. We also offer in-house financing for patients who prefer to work directly with our practice. Our team will walk you through every option during your consultation so you can choose what works best for your budget.
As for insurance, purely cosmetic treatments aren’t covered, but your coverage may apply to procedures with oral health benefits, like crowns or periodontal treatment. Porter Dental Group accepts most major insurance plans. We’ll help you understand exactly what your benefits apply to before treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions About Getting a Smile Makeover in Charlotte, NC
How long will my smile makeover take?
It depends on the number and type of treatments involved. A makeover consisting of whitening and veneers alone can be completed in just a few appointments. If your plan includes multi-stage treatments like Invisalign or dental implants, it will span several months. Your dentist will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific plan during your consultation.
Can I get a smile makeover if I have some oral health issues?
Yes, but your smile needs to be in good health before any cosmetic work can begin. Issues like active gum disease, untreated cavities, or infections should be resolved first to create a stable foundation for your cosmetic results. The good news is that our dentists provide a full range of general and restorative services. We can handle everything you need at our Charlotte office without referrals.
Can I choose the treatments in my smile makeover?
Your input is a key part of the smile makeover process! Our dentists will recommend treatments based on your goals and clinical needs, but the final plan is only set after a conversation. If any particular treatment doesn’t appeal to you, we’ll be happy to explore alternatives, and you can visualize different options during the smile preview process. Our priority is delivering results you’re genuinely excited to see.
