Smile Makeover in Brooklyn: How Long Does the Process Take From Start to Finish?

If you are planning a smile makeover in Brooklyn, one of the first questions you likely have is how long the process takes. The answer depends on the treatments involved, your dental health, and how your plan is structured. At Omni Dental Care, smile makeovers are planned carefully so patients understand each step, timeline, and appointment requirement before treatment begins.

What Is Included in a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is not a single procedure. It is a customized plan that may include one or more cosmetic treatments such as:

  • Porcelain veneers
  • Dental bonding
  • Laser teeth whitening
  • Gum contouring
  • Alignment adjustments

Step 1: Initial Cosmetic Consultation

Timeline: 1 visit

Your first visit focuses on evaluation and planning. During this appointment, the dentist reviews:

  • Your smile goals
  • Tooth color, shape, spacing, and alignment
  • Bite and overall oral health
  • Which cosmetic options fit your needs

This visit also includes a discussion of treatment sequencing, expected appointment count, and cost considerations. Patients considering veneers or bonding often review before-and-after examples during this stage using the Smile Gallery.

Step 2: Smile Analysis and Treatment Planning

Timeline: Same visit or follow-up visit

Digital imaging and planning tools help determine:

  • Which teeth are treated
  • Whether whitening should be done first
  • If bonding or veneers are more appropriate

Patients interested in veneers often review additional educational resources such as:

Once planning is complete, your treatment timeline is confirmed.

Step 3: Whitening or Preparatory Treatments

Timeline: 1 visit

If your plan includes laser whitening, it is usually completed before veneers or bonding so restorations match your final shade.
