What Does a Custom Smile Makeover Entail?

Enter a custom smile makeover at CLE Smiles by Dr. Niki.

A smile makeover — also called smile design — is designed just for you. Niki Cochran, DDS, combines multiple cosmetic and restorative treatments to help you reach your ideal smile.

Read on to learn all about the smile makeover process. 

It all starts with a consultation in Lakewood, Ohio

Your smile makeover begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Niki. She takes the time to understand your goals, examine your teeth and gums, and possibly take digital X-rays or scans. 

From there, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan that outlines which procedures can give you the best results based on your dental health and cosmetic goals.

What’s included in a custom smile makeover?

There isn’t just one answer to this question. Your makeover might include one or more of the following:

• Teeth whitening to brighten stained or discolored teeth
• Porcelain veneers to reshape teeth, fix chips, or close gaps
• Orthodontic treatment to straighten crooked or crowded teeth
• Bonding to repair minor flaws like chips or small cracks
• Crowns, bridges, or dental implants to restore damaged or missing teeth

You and Dr. Niki will work together to determine what makes the most sense for your smile.

4 reasons to consider a custom smile makeover at CLE Smiles by Dr. Niki

If you’re looking for a custom, one-of-a-kind solution for your smile concerns, then you might benefit from a custom smile makeover. 

You have multiple concerns about your smile

A smile makeover isn’t just about looks, although aesthetics do play a big part in your smile design! Dr. Niki combines both cosmetic and restorative treatments into your plan to address all your concerns. The result? A smile that is healthy and looks beautiful!  

Every smile design is unique

That’s why your makeover is fully customized. Whether you're prepping for a big event or just want more confidence in your everyday life, your plan will be based on your goals, timeline, and budget. Some people complete their makeover in just a few visits, while others spread treatments out over time.

You can feel more confident

One of the first things that others notice about you is your smile. With a custom smile makeover, you can feel proud to show off your new smile. 

Smiling doesn’t just make you feel good. It can impact your health, too. Smiling can reduce stress, elevate your mood, boost your immune system, and release your body's natural painkillers — endorphins and serotonin.

We make it a comfortable experience

An estimated 36% of Americans have some degree of dentophobia, but that doesn’t have to stop you from getting the care you need.

Here at CLE Smiles by Dr. Niki, we offer sedation to help you feel more comfortable during certain aspects of your smile makeover. Whether you’re getting an implant or addressing severe decay, know that we have solutions to make your appointment as stress-free and comfortable as possible.
