A smile makeover rebuilds a worn or damaged smile in controlled stages, combining aesthetics and function. Dr Laura Zeitoun Saal, in Paris 8 (avenue George V), explains the process, the combined treatments and where to begin.
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment that restores both the appearance and the function of the teeth, when a single treatment is not enough. Where a veneer or whitening addresses a specific need, a makeover rebuilds a worn, damaged or aged smile, according to an overall plan — not tooth by tooth.
It combines several treatments into one coherent project: shade, shape, alignment, but also correct chewing and occlusion.
When is a makeover indicated?
It is intended for smiles affected by wear, damaged or missing teeth, old mismatched treatments, or an overall aesthetic wish. The goal is a natural, balanced and functional smile, respecting the patient’s face and age.
