At Alpine Creek Dental, we believe that your smile should be a source of confidence and joy. If you’ve ever wished for straighter teeth, a more functional smile, or a complete transformation, a personalized smile makeover could be the answer. Whether you’re looking for subtle refinements or a full cosmetic overhaul, we’re here to help you achieve a smile that feels natural and beautiful for you.
Smile makeovers are more than a small cosmetic change. They’re a confidence boost, a fresh start, and a reason to smile bigger every day.
A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan that blends multiple cosmetic and restorative dental procedures to improve the appearance, function, and overall harmony of your smile. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it’s a highly personalized journey designed around your unique goals, facial features, and oral health needs.
We focus on creating natural-looking results that complement your features and boost your confidence. Our smile makeovers combine artistry with advanced dental techniques to enhance both the appearance and function of your teeth. Treatment plans often blend services like veneers, whitening, Invisalign®, crowns, bonding, and implants, and gum reshaping to meet your individual goals. Led by our experienced cosmetic dentists, our team will guide you through every step with warmth, skill, and transparency.
We offer a curated selection of cosmetic and restorative treatments that can be mixed and matched to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re making a subtle change or planning a full transformation, each service we offer is designed to enhance your smile with comfort, precision, and lasting results.
Restore missing teeth with natural-looking solutions that blend seamlessly into your smile. Dental implants and bridges provide lasting strength, stability, and aesthetics, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.
Quickly repair chips, cracks, gaps, or uneven edges with tooth-colored resin that’s sculpted to perfection. Cosmetic bonding is a fast, non-invasive way to refresh your smile and boost your confidence.
Achieve better balance and symmetry by gently sculpting the gumline. Whether addressing a “gummy” smile or uneven tissue, gum reshaping can dramatically enhance the proportions of your teeth and overall smile.
Straighten your teeth discreetly with Invisalign®, which is a clear, comfortable, and removable alternative to braces. Invisalign® fits easily into your daily life while delivering transformative results.
Rebuild and beautify teeth that are damaged or misshapen. Our custom crowns restore strength while improving shape, size, and color, blending in perfectly with your natural teeth.
Get a red-carpet-ready smile with porcelain or composite veneers. These ultra-thin shells are bonded to the front of your teeth to correct shape, spacing, and color with long-lasting elegance and realism.
Brighten your smile on your own time with our professional-grade take-home whitening kits. More effective than over-the-counter options, our whitening treatments safely lift stains and restore brilliance.
When it comes to transforming your smile, experience, trust, and personalized care make all the difference. Here’s what sets Alpine Creek Dental apart:
Dr. Hadley Thurmon, Dr. Krupa Patel, and Dr. Autumn Peterson are highly skilled in cosmetic dentistry. With advanced training in procedures like veneers, Invisalign, implants, and full-mouth rehabilitation, they combine technical precision with aesthetic vision to create natural, confident smiles.
Your smile transformation should feel just right. That’s why we offer high-quality dental temporaries that let you “test drive” your new look before final restorations are placed. These temporaries help you visualize the outcome, ensure comfort and function, and give you the chance to request adjustments, so your final smile feels perfect from every angle.
We stand behind our work, which is why we offer a graduated 5-year warranty on our smile makeover treatments. This rare offering reflects our confidence in the quality of our care and materials, and gives you added peace of mind throughout your transformation and beyond.
Our warranty is one of the many ways we go above and beyond to deliver results you’ll love and trust.
Every great smile begins with a plan. Our smile makeover process at Alpine Creek Dental is designed to be transparent, comfortable, and collaborative. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment process:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive dental exam and a 30-minute iTero digital scan. This technology creates a precise 3D model of your teeth, allowing our dentists to assess your bite, plan treatment accurately, and visualize your future smile.
Next, we review your goals and present a digital mockup (or in some cases, a physical wax model) of your potential results. This step helps you envision your transformation and sets clear expectations from the start.
During your prep visit, our dentists prepare your teeth and place custom temporary restorations. These temporaries allow you to test out your new smile, letting you experience how it looks and feels in real life while gathering feedback from family, friends, and yourself.
After 1 to 2 weeks with your temporaries, you’ll return for a follow-up appointment. We’ll discuss how the temporaries felt, make any requested tweaks, and ensure everything meets your expectations before moving to the final step.
Once you're completely happy with your expected outcome, your final treatments are crafted and placed. This could include custom-designed crowns or veneers that are built to look beautiful, feel natural, and last for years to come.

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the smile makeover process can be. Thanks to modern technology and gentle techniques, discomfort is minimal during treatment. Some procedures, like whitening or gum reshaping, may cause brief sensitivity, while others, like veneers or crowns, involve local anesthetic to ensure a pain-free experience.
Recovery varies depending on the treatments involved, but most patients return to their normal routines within a day or two. You may experience mild sensitivity or tenderness, but these effects are typically short-lived. With temporary restorations, you’ll have the chance to test out your new smile and provide feedback before receiving your final restorations.
A smile makeover can significantly boost your confidence, enhance your appearance, and improve your oral health. By addressing issues like chipped, stained, misaligned, or missing teeth, it not only creates a more balanced and attractive smile but can also restore proper bite function and support long-term dental wellness. The emotional benefits, such as increased self-esteem and comfort in social settings, make it a truly positive investment in your well-being.
A smile makeover is ideal for anyone who feels self-conscious about the appearance of their teeth or wants to improve both the look and function of their smile. You may be a great candidate if you have concerns like discoloration, gaps, uneven alignment, worn or chipped teeth, or missing teeth. Whether you’re preparing for a big life event or simply want to feel more confident every day, a personalized smile makeover can help you achieve a healthy, radiant smile that fits your goals and lifestyle.
Before starting a smile makeover, a comprehensive dental exam is needed to assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine the best treatment plan. This may include digital imaging, x-rays, and impressions to ensure your makeover is both safe and tailored to your unique needs.
For the start of your smile makeover treatment, bring a valid photo ID, your dental insurance information (if applicable), and any medical or dental records you’ve been asked to provide. It’s also helpful to bring a list of any medications you’re taking and be ready to discuss your smile goals with your dentist.
The timeline for a smile makeover varies based on the treatments involved and your individual needs. Some makeovers can be completed in just a few visits over a few weeks, while others, especially those involving orthodontics or implants, may take several months or longer. Your dentist will outline a personalized treatment plan and timeline during your consultation.
With smile makeover temporaries, you can speak, smile, and eat soft foods comfortably, but you should avoid hard, sticky, or crunchy foods that could damage them. It’s also best to limit staining drinks like coffee or red wine. Be gentle with brushing and flossing, and follow any care instructions from your dentist to keep your temporaries secure and looking their best.
