Smile Makeover
For a stunning smile makeover, call Elliott.N.Abrams D.D.S. Our team specializes in transforming ordinary smiles into brilliant ones using a range of cosmetic dentistry procedures. With our excellent reputation for quality, we’re dedicated to enhancing your smile.
We'll start by examining your teeth and discussing your smile goals. Then, we’ll present options, and you can choose the best combination of procedures to achieve your desired results.
What procedures are used in a typical smile makeover?
There are many cosmetic dentistry procedures that we can use including teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns, and dental implants, among others.
Teeth Whitening
Yellowed and stained teeth often signal aging, as teeth tend to be whiter in youth. Factors like colored foods, coffee, tea, wine, and smoking can cause staining, affecting your appearance and health perception. Many Los Angeles patients choose teeth whitening to address these stains.
There are two main options for whitening your teeth. In-office whitening can brighten teeth by up to eight shades in one visit, with no discomfort. Alternatively, an at-home treatment involves a custom whitening tray made from an impression of your teeth, allowing for comfortable and convenient whitening.
Dental Veneers
For severely stained or damaged teeth, dental veneers can enhance your smile. As a veneers dentist, we craft natural-looking veneers that can transform your smile, just like many Hollywood stars. During your appointment at our Los Angeles office, we'll assess your teeth to see if veneers are the right choice for closing gaps, even out teeth, cover stains, and restore cracked or chipped teeth. Veneers can even make crooked teeth appear straighter.
Smile Makeover
In a smile makeover, dental veneers can make teeth appear larger, especially for those with teeth that seem too small for their smile. Veneers can elongate teeth to create a more natural look. Many local patients are pleased with the results.

Dental Crowns
For severely damaged or broken teeth, a dental crown can restore both appearance and functionality. Made from all-ceramic or all-porcelain materials, crowns cover and strengthen the tooth without affecting the natural tooth. Unlike outdated metal crowns, ceramic crowns blend seamlessly with your smile, making the restoration invisible. We can help patients update their smile makeover by replacing old metal crowns with natural-looking ceramic ones.
Dental crowns can achieve similar results as veneers, such as evening teeth, closing gaps, covering stains, and restoring damaged teeth. The key difference is that crowns cover the entire tooth, providing added stability.
Dental Implants
At Elliott.N.Abrams D.D.S, we provide natural-looking solutions for missing teeth with dental implants. Unlike dentures, which can become loose, implants are stable and durable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite activities and foods without worry. They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a secure and reliable restoration.
In this procedure, a metal post is inserted into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over several months, creating a strong synthetic root. Once healed, a new tooth is attached to the post, providing a natural-looking and durable replacement. This method is popular in smile makeovers for effectively replacing missing teeth.
Dental implants can also address crooked teeth or those unresponsive to orthodontics, making them a crucial part of a smile makeover. Even with a bright, beautiful smile, a single crooked tooth can leave your smile feeling incomplete.
