What to Expect From a Personalized Smile Transformation

Every smile makeover begins with a thoughtful conversation about your goals, concerns, and lifestyle. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Instead, your plan is carefully designed to balance esthetics, comfort, and long-term oral health.

Your dentist uses advanced imaging and detailed planning to map out each step before treatment begins, so there are no surprises along the way.

This custom-to-you approach gives you results that feel natural, comfortable, and uniquely yours, while also supporting proper bite alignment and daily function.

  • Treatment plans are tailored to your facial features, smile line, and preferences.

  • Procedures can be completed in phases to fit your schedule, budget, and comfort level.

  • Results are designed to look natural, not overdone.

Design Your New Smile with a Makeover Procedure

At Porters Neck Dentistry, Dr. Shumate specializes in creating beautiful smiles through personalized smile makeover treatments. He utilizes advanced technology and innovative techniques to plan your transformation with precision and care.

From 3-D scanners to digital X-rays, our cutting-edge equipment helps ensure optimal results while enhancing your overall experience. Plus, digital imaging and wax-up models will allow you to see what your smile will look before we even begin treatment. This gives you greater peace of mind about the outcome. Your makeover may include:

  • Teeth Whitening - Brighten your smile with professional-grade teeth whitening treatments. Choose in-office or at-home whitening, whichever suits you best.
  • Veneers - Conceal imperfections with custom-made veneers. No one will know they aren't a natural part of your smile. Your veneers can last at least a decade with proper care - or even longer.
  • Bonding - Repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth with dental bonding, a quick and effective cosmetic solution. Results can last several years.
  • Invisalign® - Straighten misaligned teeth discreetly and comfortably with Invisalign clear aligners. Treatment typically takes 12 to 18 months.
  • Gum Reshaping - Improve the appearance of your smile by reshaping uneven or excessive gum tissue.
  • Dental Crowns - Restore strength and beauty to damaged teeth with custom-designed dental crowns, crafted with precision using our 3-D printers.

1st day here was great! Staff were all super nice. Really liked chatting with the dentists as well as the dental assistants. Did a really good job of cleaning and photographing my teeth. They were all super friendly! And then there is the fact that Dr Shumate was the only dentist around here that was able to repair a difficult / complex issue with my wifes teeth (dealing with severe allergies to Novocaine) - so yeah, needless to say, have been hopeful and highly impressed. Highly recommended!!

My husband and I wanted a Dentist closer to home. Wilmington traffic is unbearable! Dr. Shumate's office is only 15 min. away from home. We really lucked up. Dr. Shumate provides cosmetic dentistry, places dental implants, and offers family Dentistry. I visited Dr. Shumate, thinking I would start there, but I also had to see an oral surgeon. Nope, Dr. Shumate placed my dental implants, and I love Dr. Dana. He is a perfectionist, kind, and a gentleman. Of course, my better half sees Dr. Lauren and is so happy with her work. He also enjoys going into their office. We both do, the staff is professional and well-trained. While the receptionists are respectful and professional. I couldn't ask for more!

Commonly Asked Questions About Smile Makeovers

Can anyone get a smile makeover?
Most adults with good oral health are candidates for smile makeovers. However, existing dental issues like gum disease, decay, or bite problems must be addressed first. Some medical conditions or medications may affect your treatment options. During your consultation, we'll determine if you're a good candidate or what preliminary work is needed.
What’s the difference between a smile makeover and regular cosmetic treatment?
A smile makeover is a comprehensive, customized plan that combines multiple cosmetic treatments into a coordinated transformation. While you can get veneers or whitening on their own, a smile makeover takes your full facial esthetics and goals into account. It’s ideal if you want to address several concerns at once, like gaps, discoloration, and tooth shape.
How do I know which treatments I’ll need?
You don’t have to figure that out on your own. We’ll guide you through it. During your consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth, listen to your concerns, and recommend the best mix of treatments for your goals. That might include clear aligners for alignment, veneers for shape, whitening for brightness, or bonding for small gaps. It all depends on what you want to achieve.
