What Is a Smile Makeover?
In this video, Dr. Aaron Bratton discusses the customized approach to smile makeovers, from simple polishing to same-day resin veneers. Schedule a free consultation at Atkins Dental Clinic today to achieve a brighter, more confident smile.
A smile makeover is a customized approach to improving the appearance of your smile. If you have staining from coffee, tea, or even the berries we grow around here like blackberries and mulberries, your teeth may just need a simple polishing and buffing to restore their natural brightness.
For cases where decay, old fillings, or broken dental work are present, a smile makeover may involve more comprehensive treatment. Most patients can achieve their desired results in a single appointment after an initial consultation to develop a personalized treatment plan.
In many cases, the solution is resin veneer work, which can be completed the same day. At my clinic, we offer resin veneers from canine to canine, the most visible part of your smile, for the equivalent cost of a single porcelain crown or veneer. We carefully match the resin to your natural tooth color to ensure a seamless, natural look.
For examples of same-day smile makeovers, you can explore the other sections of my website, where you’ll find before-and-after results showcasing this treatment.

Are Implant Dentures Better Than Regular Dentures? [A Video Guide]
Sometimes we do not realize how much we have adapted to limitations until something better shows up. You trade in a car you have driven for a decade and suddenly notice how smooth the steering feels. Even switching to a television with sharper resolution reveals details you never knew you were supposed to see. That shift in perspective applies [...]
Clear Aligners in Atkins: How Alignment Supports Comfort and Oral Health
People often feel drawn to things that look balanced and well-organized, even if they’re not consciously thinking about it. Psychologists describe this as a natural preference for symmetry and order, the same instinct that makes a neatly arranged shelf or a perfectly aligned picture frame feel satisfying. Our brains process these patterns more easily, so they feel calm, clear, [...]
Making Sense of Dental Implant Financing
For many people, the biggest pause in any dental decision comes down to cost. It is instinctive to look at a treatment option and immediately ask two questions: what will this cost me, and what do I gain from it? When it comes to dental implants, the second question is often easier to answer than the first. Implant treatment [...]
Invisalign Treatment: Is It Right for You?
Invisalign treatment is often framed as something entirely different from braces, when in reality, the goal remains the same. Both approaches guide teeth into healthier, more balanced positions over time. The difference lies less in what the treatment accomplishes and more in how it fits into everyday life. Invisalign treatment builds on the same orthodontic principles, but it changes [...]
Are Mini Implants Cheaper Than Regular Implants? [A Video Guide]
As many people navigate tooth replacement options, they often face a surprising yet important question: “Are mini dental implants cheaper than regular implants?” In many cases, yes. Their slimmer structure frequently simplifies parts of the procedure, which can influence the overall cost. Picture the difference between a full-size umbrella and a compact one you can fold into a bag. [...]
What Are Mini Dental Implants? A Quick Overview
You may already know the basic idea behind a dental implant: a durable post that takes the place of a missing root and supports a new tooth. That’s the classic model, and it works well. Mini dental implants use the same principle, but their slimmer, one-piece titanium design offers possibilities the traditional model can’t always provide. The smaller size [...]
What the Best Gum Disease Treatment Looks Like Today
Gum disease is one of the most common oral health conditions, and it often develops gradually, often going unnoticed until symptoms become more difficult to ignore. Factors like genetics and overall health can raise your risk, but everyday habits have the greatest influence. When plaque lingers along the gumline, inflammation takes hold, and over time, it can progress into [...]
Why More Adults Are Choosing Braces Alternatives
Once upon a time, every phone had a home. You’d pace as far as the cord allowed, twisting it between your fingers while you talked. If you wanted comfort, you brought the conversation to the couch, dragging the phone, the cord, and maybe a stool along for the ride. It worked. The voices came through clear, the connections held [...]
