Smile Makeovers in Flower Mound
A planned smile makeover by Kois-trained Dr. Joshua Prentice, designed around your face, your bite, and how you want to look — with a preview before anything is permanent.
A Coordinated Plan
What a Smile Makeover Can Address
A smile makeover brings individual treatments into one plan. The starting point is what bothers you about your smile and what your teeth need to stay healthy and functional.
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Chipped, worn, or uneven edges
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth that look too short or small
- Old crowns or fillings that no longer match
- A smile that looks older than you feel
Your Options
What a Makeover Can Include
Each plan is built from a combination chosen for the patient. You may need one treatment or several coordinated treatments, rather than the same procedure on every tooth.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin ceramic restorations designed to refine color, shape, and proportion.
Crowns
Restorations for teeth that need more structural support.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening to address staining and plan the overall shade.
Cosmetic Bonding
Tooth-colored composite for selected chips, gaps, and edges.
Digital Smile Design
A proposed design that considers your smile, face, and bite together.
Implant Restorations
Custom restorations for existing dental implants when missing teeth are part of the plan.

How Your Makeover Is Planned

Final Restorations
The approved design guides the final restorations, often milled in-house with same-day technology for select cases. Other plans use laboratory-made ceramics or staged visits.
Designed for You
Natural, Not Fake
Concerned about overly white, bulky, “fake” teeth? That concern belongs in the planning conversation.
Shade, shape, and proportion are designed to fit your face and the rest of your smile. The goal is a natural appearance that reflects your preferences, not a one-size-fits-all look. You see the proposed design before it is final.
Function First
Beauty That Has to Function
A cosmetic plan still needs to account for your bite, tooth structure, and grinding or clenching. Appearance and function are considered together.
If your teeth are also worn or repeatedly breaking, full-mouth reconstruction may be the more appropriate starting point. Dr. Prentice evaluates the underlying causes before choosing restorations.

Smile Makeover Questions, Answered
How long does a smile makeover take?
It depends on the plan. Some cosmetic cases can be completed in very few visits with same-day technology; others are staged over weeks or months. You get a realistic timeline at your consultation.
Can I see my new smile before committing?
Yes. Digital smile design and an in-mouth preview let you review the proposed shade, shape, and proportions before final restorations. Dr. Prentice explains the preview process for your plan.
Will my teeth look natural?
The goal is a smile that fits your face, not a uniform set of overly white teeth. Shade, shape, texture, and proportion are planned together, and you can discuss the design before it is final. Individual results vary.
Do I need veneers on every tooth?
No. The number of teeth treated is based on what shows when you smile, the condition of your teeth, and your goals. Your plan may combine veneers with whitening, bonding, or other restorations.
Is a smile makeover covered by insurance?
Cosmetic work usually is not covered, but parts of a plan that restore damaged teeth may be. Our team will review your benefits. Financing options including CareCredit and HSA/FSA payment options are available; eligibility and coverage depend on your plan.
