Smile Makeover – Lacey, WA
Comprehensive Treatment to Enhance Your Smile
At Peterson & Cammack Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we see patients with all types of smile imperfections. While most cases can be addressed with one form of treatment – veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, metal-free restorations, or orthodontics – some instances require a more invasive and comprehensive approach. Instead of performing each service individually, we can recommend a smile makeover in Lacey, which combines multiple solutions in a single plan to deliver successful, beautiful, and long-lasting results. Call our office today to schedule a consultation to determine if you are eligible for a smile makeover.

How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
Dr. Peterson or Dr. Cammack will begin by evaluating the state of your existing smile when you come in for a consultation. This will give them a complete view of the imperfections that need to be treated, including chips, cracks, stains, gaps, discoloration, misshapen teeth, misalignment, and more.
By carefully examining your face and skin, they can determine the appropriate look for your smile and which services will produce the best results.
Some of the possible treatment options that may be included in your smile makeover are:
- Dental veneers
- At-home teeth whitening
- Cosmetic dental bonding
- All-ceramic dental restorations
- Orthodontics
- And more
One of the most common questions patients ask when preparing for a smile makeover is “How long will it take?” This is dependent on the extensiveness of your plan and how many imperfections need to be addressed.

Our dental team will be here to make sure you know your options when it comes to payment so that you are not surprised at any point.
Smile Makeover FAQs
How many treatments can you include in a smile makeover?
Every smile makeover in Lacey is tailor-made, so the number of treatments included in your plan is dependent on what you need and your budget. One of our dentists might select all-ceramic dental restorations and cosmetic dental bonding if they believe these will help create the kind of smile you want. It’s also possible that you might need at-home teeth whitening, orthodontics, and veneers. There are many possibilities, all of which you will discuss with our team during your consultation.
Do smile makeovers have an age limit?
Smile makeovers are not commonly recommended for children, but older teenagers and adults may be eligible to move forward with this kind of treatment. Much of it depends on the type of services that are required, as some may not be suitable even for adolescents (i.e., teeth whitening for those under the age of 14).
A thorough consultation with Dr. Peterson or Dr. Cammack will determine who can pursue a smile makeover and who may need to consider alternative solutions. If you’re unhappy with the look of your grin, have good general oral health, and need extensive work to improve its appearance, there’s a good chance you’ll be cleared to move forward.
How do you maintain smile makeover results?
Since most cosmetic services that are included in a smile makeover are not permanent, you’ll need to make sure you take proper care of your new appearance so the results will last longer. As long as you commit to the following, you can enjoy your beautiful smile year after year:
- Develop a routine for good oral hygiene that includes brushing twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste (or nonabrasive if you have veneers), flossing at least once before bedtime, and rinsing with an ADA-approved mouthwash.
- See your dentist regularly (twice each year) for checkups and cleanings to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and restorations are not damaged.
- Limit your consumption and exposure to stain-causing foods and beverages.
- Quit smoking and using tobacco products that can discolor your teeth.
- Avoid biting down on hard objects, like pens and pencils, do not eat ice, and do not open packages with your teeth.
Is a smile makeover safe?
As long as you see a licensed dental professional who has the training and experience to administer smile makeovers, you can expect your treatment to be completely safe. Dr. Peterson and Dr. Cammack are well-versed in the field of cosmetic dentistry and know how to carefully craft beautiful veneers and all-ceramic dental restorations, so they appear natural. They also understand how much bleaching gel needs to be used to not only keep your gums and teeth safe from sensitivity but also produce brighter results. Finally, our dentists have the skills to straighten teeth using various methods of orthodontic treatment.
