Each smile is different and requires a unique approach. We can discuss your preferences, goals, and budget with you to customize a treatment plan that suits your needs.
Our Advanced Technology Allows for More Convenient Care
At The Smile Center, we can use state-of-the-art CEREC technology to design a variety of restorations. Your doctor can utilize CEREC to take accurate 3-D images of your smile. Then, the milling machine can craft your restoration right in our office, making your treatment more comfortable and convenient.
Your Treatment Experience Will Depend on Your Goals
Every smile makeover treatment plan is different and depends on a variety of factors. At The Smile Center in Virginia Beach, there are typically three phases to smile design.
What to Expect
Most Smile Makeovers Do Not Require Recovery Time
For the most part, cosmetic procedures have little to no recovery time, so you should be able to return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
There are certain steps you can take to ensure your results stay as brilliant as the day you complete treatment. Our doctors recommend:
- Brushing twice a day and flossing daily
- Attending regular exams and cleanings
- Minimizing dark-colored drinks, such as wine and coffee

Results Will Vary Based on the Treatments You Choose
The effects of your smile makeover will depend entirely on the issues you wish to treat and the procedures you select.
In general, most patients experience a boost in their self-confidence after a smile makeover. When you feel confident about the way you look, you are more likely to smile, which can improve your overall quality of life.

We Can Tailor Treatment to Suit Almost Any Budget
One of the benefits of smile makeovers is that they are completely customizable, meaning we can design a treatment plan that suits your specific budget.
If you are not worried about the cost and want dramatic results, we may recommend a more aggressive treatment plan.
However, if you want to save on costs, we can recommend alternatives with smaller price tags or stage treatment to fit your budget.
The Number and Type of Treatments Affect Your Final Cost
Extent of Treatment
Your makeover will be customized to your goals, so the most important consideration in your treatment cost is how dramatic a change you wish to see in your smile. In general, more extensive results require a larger investment.
The Procedures You Choose
Some cosmetic treatments cost more than others. Teeth whitening, for example, is one of the most affordable procedures. In contrast, porcelain veneers are more expensive but provide more dramatic effects.
Sedation Options
In most cases, our doctors can perform cosmetic procedures using only local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. However, we also offer dental sedation if you are nervous or require a particularly involved treatment. Sedation will typically raise the price of your care.
Insurance and Financing May Help with the Cost of Treatment
Dental Insurance
Although most cosmetic treatments are not covered by insurance, our insurance coordinator can help you determine your coverage for qualifying procedures.
Financing
We work with a variety of third-party lenders offering flexible, low-interest repayment options for patients with out-of-pocket costs.
Investing in Your Smile Can Have Significant Benefits
The effects of your smile makeover can last for years with simple upkeep and regular check-ups.
Smiling can actually reduce stress and you are more likely to smile when you are happy with your appearance.
A beautiful smile can have a dramatic impact on your appearance and help you look younger.
Smile Makeovers Provide Truly Comprehensive Cosmetic Results
If you have multiple cosmetic concerns affecting your smile, creating a personalized makeover is an excellent choice for treatment.
However, if you only want to make a small change or need to address extensive oral health issues, there are other options available to you.
We Offer a Wide Range of Cosmetic and Restorative Treatments
Full Mouth Reconstruction
If you have multiple oral health issues as well as cosmetic concerns, you may achieve better results with a full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Parr or Dr. Frey can examine your smile and help choose the right options for you.
Individual Cosmetic Treatments
If you only wish to make a small alteration to your smile, we can help you choose a single cosmetic procedure to target your concerns.
