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.

Making Sense of Dental Implant Financing

For many people, the biggest pause in any dental decision comes down to cost.

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.

Are Mini Implants Cheaper Than Regular Implants? [A Video Guide]

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.

The voices came through clear, the connections held [...]
