Ultimate smile makeover

A smile makeover combines treatments, such as veneers, crowns, whitening, gum contouring or implants, into one plan designed around your face. See the complete smile makeover, porcelain veneers and cosmetic gum lift. A makeover starts with a conversation and photographs, then cosmetic imaging that shows a preview of the planned smile before any work starts. Dr. Steven Haywood, DDS, who trained in cosmetic dentistry at NYU, plans the order of the steps: gum contouring before veneers, for example, or Invisalign to straighten teeth before they are reshaped. Most makeovers take a few visits over several weeks. The articles here show what is possible, how the steps fit together, and questions to ask at a consultation in Shrewsbury. Payment plans through CareCredit and Cherry are available, and every stage and its cost is set out in the plan before treatment begins, so there are no surprises along the way. Patients come from Shrewsbury, York and north Baltimore County.
