A smile plan built around you, not a standard package.
At Dual Arc Dental, we create smile makeover plans for patients who want to improve more than one aspect of their smile. Our dentists look at the concerns you want to change, the condition of your teeth and gums, and how different treatments can work together before recommending a sequence of care.
A smile makeover should begin with your priorities, not with a preset list of procedures. During your consultation, we ask what stands out to you when you smile and which changes would make the biggest difference.
Some patients are mainly concerned about discoloration or old dental work. Others want to address chips, uneven tooth shapes, gaps, crowding, worn teeth, or several concerns at the same time. We use that conversation to build a focused plan and explain which changes can be handled with cosmetic dentistry and which may need restorative or alignment treatment.

COORDINATED CARE
A smile makeover is not simply several cosmetic procedures booked together. The order matters, so our dentists coordinate the plan around what needs to happen first and what should follow.
We account for dental health, existing restorations, and any repair needs before finalizing the cosmetic changes you want to make.
Alignment may need to come before final tooth shaping, while whitening can influence the shade selected for later cosmetic work.
We connect the individual treatments so each step contributes to the same overall result instead of treating each concern as an unrelated procedure.
PERSONALIZED TREATMENT
You do not need every cosmetic treatment to have a smile makeover. For one patient, the plan may involve only two targeted changes. For another, several treatments may be coordinated across different areas of the smile.
Treatment plans are built around the changes you actually want to make
Cosmetic, clear aligner, and restorative treatments can be coordinated within one plan

Just wanted to do a shout out to Dual Arc Dental! I stuck with them after the previous owners sold through and happy I did. They have proven they are caring and understanding whether my needs have been small or very patient with me not only during my visits but with any queries in regards to the insurance.

ONE PLAN, MULTIPLE CONCERNS
A smile makeover can bring several treatments together within one coordinated plan, depending on what you want to change and what your teeth need.
For chips, uneven edges, small gaps, or differences in tooth shape, we may consider bonding, contouring, veneers, or another cosmetic option based on how much change is needed.
When tooth position is driving the appearance of the smile, clear aligners may need to come before final cosmetic work so we are improving the position rather than masking it.
If a tooth also needs repair, we can coordinate the makeover with restorative dentistry so appearance and function are addressed within the same treatment plan.
Your smile makeover is built around your priorities. We explain what each recommended treatment is intended to change before you decide how to proceed.

Find answers to common questions about smile makeover treatments, planning, timelines, cost, and insurance.
Your plan depends on what you want to change. It may involve whitening, bonding, tooth contouring, veneers, clear aligners, gumline treatment, restorative care, or a combination of treatments.
A smile makeover usually combines treatments to address more than one concern, but the plan does not need to be extensive. We recommend only the treatments that fit your goals and dental needs.
We start with the concerns you want to change, then evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and overall smile. From there, we explain which treatments can address each concern and how they should be coordinated.
No. Veneers are one option, not a requirement. Depending on your smile, we may recommend bonding, contouring, whitening, alignment treatment, restorative care, or another approach instead.
Yes, when tooth color is one of your concerns. We also consider existing crowns, veneers, bonding, or other restorations when planning the final shade.
Yes. When spacing, crowding, or tooth position affects the smile, clear aligner treatment may be included before final cosmetic changes.
Potentially. Contouring reduces small areas of enamel, while bonding adds tooth-colored material. We may use one or both depending on the shape changes needed.
Yes. When cosmetic concerns overlap with damaged or missing tooth structure, we may coordinate the makeover with restorative dentistry.
Depending on what is causing the uneven appearance, gumline treatment may be discussed as part of the overall plan. We evaluate the teeth and gums before recommending any change.
Not necessarily. Some treatments may be completed separately or need to occur in a particular order. We explain the proposed sequence before treatment begins.
There is no single timeline because every plan is different. The number and type of treatments, as well as any healing or alignment stages, determine how the makeover progresses.
That depends on what is visible when you smile and which concerns you want to address. Some plans focus on only a few teeth, while others involve a broader part of the smile.
Yes. You can review cosmetic treatment examples in the Dual Arc Dental Smile Gallery and discuss which types of changes may be relevant to your own smile during your consultation.
Cost depends on the treatments included in your individual plan. We provide a treatment-specific estimate once we have evaluated your smile and discussed your priorities. You can also review our finance and insurance information.
Coverage varies according to the treatments involved and your individual dental plan. Cosmetic procedures may be treated differently from dental work performed for restorative reasons.
