Achieve Your Dream Smile by Getting a Smile Makeover in Rochester

Your smile may need more than one change to look and feel just right. A smile makeover in Rochester combines the cosmetic and restorative treatments your smile needs into a coordinated plan that's designed around your goals. Dr. Ruchlin evaluates your teeth, gums, and bite all together so that every part of your care works toward the same look.

Each treatment in your makeover complements the others instead of being handled in isolation. You'll get a complete change to your appearance instead of small, disconnected updates. Whether you want a brighter color or a straighter, more even shape, your plan brings every change together into a beautiful smile.

See How a Smile Refresh Can Improve Your Appearance

A smile update offers more than any single treatment can on its own. Here's a closer look at what makes a comprehensive plan worth considering for your smile:

  • Coordinated results - Every treatment is planned together. Your tooth color, shape, and alignment all complement each other instead of being addressed one at a time.
  • One cohesive look - Instead of small, separate changes, you get one smile that feels complete and consistent from every angle.
  • Fewer scheduling headaches - Combining treatments into one plan often means fewer separate consultations to coordinate, saving you time spent on back-and-forth planning.
  • Personalized to your goals - Your plan is designed around what you specifically want to change. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach to a smile transformation.

You can include any combination of the following treatments to make over your smile, depending on your goals and what your smile needs most:

  • Teeth Whitening - Brighten your smile by lifting stains and discoloration from your enamel, often in a single visit.
  • Dental Veneers - Correct color, shape, or minor gaps with thin, custom-made shells that blend with your natural teeth for a seamless look.
  • Tooth Bonding - Repair small chips or gaps using a tooth-colored resin applied directly to your teeth in one appointment.
  • Gum Reshaping - Even out a gummy smile by adjusting your gumline to reveal more of each tooth. Your smile will have a more balanced look.
  • Invisalign® - Straighten crowded or gapped teeth discreetly using clear, removable aligners instead of metal braces.

Best dentist ever. Not only is the Dr. Ruchlin skilled, he spends time keeping up on the latest techniques and innovations. I recommend him to anyone who avoids the dentist due to concerns about anything from pain to aptitude. He has a gentle touch and is highly skilled.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smile Makeovers

Q What is a smile makeover?

A

A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic treatments to improve the overall appearance of a smile. Rather than addressing one issue at a time, it coordinates several changes, like color and shape, into a single, unified plan designed around a patient's goals.

Q What treatments are typically included in a smile makeover?

A
A smile makeover can include treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, or bonding, depending on a patient's specific goals. Restorative treatments, like crowns, may also be included if a tooth needs both repair and cosmetic improvement.

Q How is a smile makeover different from a single cosmetic treatment? 

A

A smile makeover differs from a single cosmetic treatment by combining several changes into one coordinated plan, rather than addressing just one issue. This allows a dentist to plan treatments so they complement each other, creating a more complete change than any single treatment could achieve alone.

Q How long does a smile makeover take to complete? 

A

How long a smile makeover takes depends on which treatments are included in the plan. A makeover using only whitening or bonding might be finished in a single visit, while one that includes veneers or Invisalign can take several weeks or months to complete.

Q How much planning goes into a smile makeover? 

A

Planning a smile makeover typically starts with a conversation about a patient's goals, followed by a full evaluation of the teeth and bite. A dentist then sequences the treatments in the order that will achieve the best combined outcome for the whole smile once everything is finished.

Q Who is a good candidate for a smile makeover? 

A

A good candidate for a smile makeover generally has healthy teeth and gums, with cosmetic goals that involve more than one type of change. Patients with underlying dental issues, like decay or gum disease, typically need those treated first before starting cosmetic work on the smile.

Q How much does a smile makeover typically cost? 

A

The cost of a smile makeover varies widely depending on which treatments are included and how many teeth are involved in the overall plan. A plan using only whitening or bonding typically costs less than one that combines several treatments into a complete redesign of the smile.

Q How should a patient care for their smile after a makeover? 

A

Caring for a smile after a makeover generally involves the same habits as before, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits. Avoiding hard foods and habits like teeth grinding can also help protect veneers, bonding, or other treatments.
