What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a comprehensive, customized treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic dental procedures to achieve your ideal smile. Rather than a single procedure, it is a coordinated roadmap designed around your unique facial structure, dental health, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle. At Smolyar Dental in Newton, MA, Dr. Alex Smolyar designs every smile makeover personally — taking into account proportions, symmetry, skin tone, lip dynamics, and personality before recommending a single treatment.
Depending on your goals, a smile makeover may include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, composite bonding, gum contouring, Invisalign, dental crowns, or a combination of these treatments. Some makeovers are completed in two or three visits. Others involve a phased plan over several months. What they all have in common is a clear outcome in mind from the very first conversation — a smile that looks completely natural, feels entirely yours, and gives you a reason to show it off.
Patients come to Dr. Smolyar for smile makeovers from across the greater Boston area — from Newton and Brookline to Chestnut Hill, Wellesley, and downtown Boston — because of his reputation for results that are beautiful without being obvious. The goal is never to make you look like you had dental work done. The goal is to give you the smile you would have if everything had gone perfectly from the start.
“A smile makeover is the most personal thing we do. We start with who you are, not a template. Every plan is built around your face, your goals, and what will make you feel most like yourself.” — Dr. Alex Smolyar, DMD

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions worth asking.
These are the questions patients ask most often before their smile makeover consultation. If yours is not here, Dr. Smolyar’s team is happy to talk it through.
Ask Dr. Smolyar-
Smile makeover costs vary significantly depending on which procedures are included and the number of teeth involved. At Smolyar Dental in Newton, MA, Dr. Smolyar provides a detailed treatment plan and itemized cost estimate at your consultation. We do not publish pricing because every makeover is genuinely unique.
-
The timeline depends on the scope of your plan. Simple makeovers combining whitening and bonding may be completed in two to three appointments over a few weeks. More complex plans involving veneers, crowns, or orthodontic alignment may take several months. Dr. Smolyar will give you a realistic, detailed timeline at your consultation at our Newton, MA office.
-
A smile makeover at Smolyar Dental can include any combination of cosmetic and restorative procedures: porcelain veneers, composite veneers, teeth whitening, dental bonding, dental crowns, gum contouring, Invisalign, dental implants, and more. The specific procedures in your plan depend entirely on your goals and the current condition of your teeth. Dr. Smolyar recommends only what your smile genuinely needs.
-
Individual procedures within a smile makeover are performed under local anesthesia, so you feel no pain during treatment. Some sensitivity between appointments is normal depending on which procedures are included. For patients with dental anxiety, sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation are available at our Newton, MA practice to ensure every stage is comfortable.
-
Longevity depends on the procedures included. Porcelain veneers and crowns typically last 10 to 20 years with proper care. Composite bonding lasts 5 to 7 years. Teeth whitening results last 1 to 3 years. Dr. Smolyar designs every smile makeover with long-term durability in mind and provides a personalized maintenance plan so your results stay beautiful for as long as possible.
-
Yes — natural results are the standard at Smolyar Dental. Dr. Smolyar designs every smile makeover around your facial proportions, lip dynamics, skin tone, and age. The goal is a smile that looks like the best version of yours — not a generic cosmetic result. Patients consistently describe their outcomes as natural, beautiful, and completely theirs.
-
Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by dental insurance. However, if your makeover includes restorative work — such as crowns for structurally compromised teeth — that portion may qualify for partial coverage depending on your plan.
-
A smile makeover is primarily cosmetically driven — its goal is aesthetic transformation. Full mouth reconstruction addresses significant functional problems in addition to aesthetics, such as severe bite issues, extensive tooth loss, or advanced decay affecting multiple teeth. Some cases overlap both. Dr. Smolyar will assess your situation at your Newton, MA consultation and recommend the approach that best addresses both your health and your appearance.
