These makeovers use state-of-the-art dental procedures that are designed to give you the smile that you have always wanted. Smile makeovers are filled with multiple procedures, depending on your needs. Here are some of the common procedures that may be done with your smile makeover. #### **Teeth whitening** [Teeth whitening](http://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/w/whitening) is one of the most common procedures done in almost every smile makeover. Though many people attempt to whiten their teeth at home using toothpaste and kits, if you are serious about whitening your teeth, you may need to come into our office. While the most effective teeth whitening is done at our office, we also have take-home trays that you can use, as well as disposable ones too. These are the most cost-effective way to get a brighter smile. #### **Six Month Smiles and Invisalign** Another common complaint from adults is that they wish that they had braces when they were younger. However, you can still get straighter teeth (no matter what your age is). We are proud to offer two amazing procedures, [Six Month Smiles](https://www.drlinger.com/before-and-afters/6-month-smiles/)® and [Invisalign invisible braces](https://www.drlinger.com/invisalign-in-charlotte-nc/), which can really change your smile in just a few months! **Composite bonding. **If you have decayed and damaged teeth, the cheapest way to fix your teeth is with composite bonding. The [Consumer Guide to Dentistry](http://www.yourdentistryguide.com/bonding/) says that the end goal of bonding is to make your tooth look healthier. **Inlays and onlays.  **These indirect fillings, which are made right in a dental laboratory, are used when a tooth is too damaged by decay that there is not enough structure left for a filing. Once placed, they help to strengthen your tooth. Inlays cover a portion of your teeth while onlays cover the entire tooth. **Veneers. **If you are unhappy with the look of your teeth due to the shape, size, or length of them, you might want to consider getting [veneers](https://www.yourdentistryguide.com/veneer-procedure/). These porcelain or resin composite pieces are placed on the front of your teeth and can totally change the appearance of your teeth. **Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique. **This minimally [invasive procedure](https://www.drlinger.com/pinhole-surgical-technique), which treats gums that are receding, doesn't require any cutting or sutures. Because of this, there is minimum pain and virtually no recovery time. Dr. Linger was personally trained by Dr. John Chao, who invented this amazing technique. **Cosmetic Dentures. **For those who are losing teeth, you might want to consider cosmetic dentures. This is a custom-made dental appliance is placed in your mouth to replace your missing teeth, as well as support your facial structure. Cosmetic dentures can be made up of plastic or porcelain. Some are a combination of the two, though it depends on your needs and desires for functionality. **Fresh breath products. **If you are like many people who struggle with bad breath, we offer professional fresh breath products to help.   Prior to your smile makeover, you will get an examination with a dentist. Afterwards, you can take this time to talk to your dentist about what results you are looking for. Then, he or she will talk to you about your options so that, together, you can decide exactly what you need to have done. Your smile makeover may only consist of one or two procedures, though you may need to consider more than that to get the results that you deserve. [Contact us](https://www.drlinger.com/contact-us) to help you get the smile that you deserve! We would be glad to discuss your options so that you can have a beautiful smile.
