(858) 412-5777What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is not a single procedure — it is a personalized treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic and restorative dental procedures to achieve a comprehensive transformation of your smile. Every plan is different because every patient has different goals, dental health, and budget.
Dr. Robair Aldaya, DDS, has been designing smile makeovers since 1995. He takes a holistic approach: before recommending any treatment, he evaluates the health of your teeth and gums, the proportions of your smile, your facial structure, and your long-term goals. The result is a treatment plan that is beautiful, functional, and built to last.
Smile makeovers at Aldaya Dental & Implants can include porcelain veneers, Invisalign clear aligners, professional teeth whitening, dental bonding, implants, crowns, and gum contouring — or any combination that best serves your needs.

The Smile Makeover Process at Aldaya Dental & Implants
- Step 1: Free Consultation:Dr. Aldaya meets with you to understand your aesthetic goals, evaluate your dental health, review X-rays, and discuss your timeline and budget. No commitment required.
- Step 2: Custom Treatment Planning:Based on the consultation, Dr. Aldaya designs a sequenced treatment plan that maps out every procedure, the order in which they will be completed, and projected costs.
- Step 3: Foundation First:Any necessary restorative work — such as treating decay, replacing failing fillings, or placing implants — is completed before cosmetic treatments begin to ensure a healthy foundation.
- Step 4: Cosmetic Procedures:Cosmetic treatments are completed in the planned sequence. For example, Invisalign is completed before veneers; whitening is done before bonding to set the correct shade.
- Step 5: Final Refinements:Once all treatments are complete, Dr. Aldaya reviews the final result with you and makes any final adjustments to ensure you are completely satisfied.

Is a smile makeover covered by insurance?
