Smile Makeover in Portage Park, Chicago
Personalized Cosmetic Plans for Your Dream Smile
A beautiful smile is more than just straight, white teeth — it’s about harmony, proportion, and confidence. At 6 Corners Dental Studio, we offer fully customized smile makeover treatments that combine multiple cosmetic and restorative services to help you achieve a balanced, healthy, and radiant smile tailored to your goals.
Led by Dr. Julienne Hong, our team takes a collaborative approach, listening carefully to your concerns, analyzing the unique structure of your teeth and facial features, and creating a step-by-step plan that fits your lifestyle and vision.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns. Rather than focusing on a single issue, this approach blends several procedures to create a seamless and cohesive transformation.
Smile makeovers may include:
- Veneers for shape and symmetry
- Teeth whitening to brighten discolored enamel
- Invisalign for subtle alignment correction
- Dental crowns to restore damaged or worn teeth
- Dental implant restorations or bridges for missing teeth
The makeover process begins with a detailed consultation and digital imaging. Dr. Hong will evaluate your bite, tooth color, gum line, and facial structure before presenting a treatment plan that may be completed in phases or all at once, depending on your needs.
Who Is a Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
Smile makeovers are ideal for individuals who want to address multiple cosmetic concerns at once or feel like their smile doesn’t reflect how they feel inside. You may be a good candidate if you’re dealing with:
- Chips, cracks, or worn edges
- Stains that don’t respond to over-the-counter whitening
- Uneven or gapped teeth
- Missing or misaligned teeth
- Old restorations that no longer match your smile
- A lack of balance between your teeth and gums
We tailor each makeover to your specific needs. In some cases, your plan may include restorative elements for improved function and durability — supported by our full range of restorative dentistry services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — please bring a valid ID, your insurance card (if applicable), and a list of any current medications.
How long does a smile makeover take?
The length of treatment depends on the number and complexity of procedures involved. Some makeovers can be completed in a few weeks, while others may be staged over several months.
Are smile makeovers purely cosmetic?
Not always. While the primary goal is aesthetic improvement, many patients also benefit functionally through treatments like crowns, fillings, or tooth replacements.
Will insurance cover any part of a smile makeover?
Cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by insurance, but restorative treatments like crowns or implants may be. Our team can help verify your coverage and explain financing options. Visit our Patient Info page for more details.
Is the process painful?
Most procedures involved in a smile makeover are minimally invasive and performed with local anesthesia. We prioritize your comfort and will clearly explain what to expect at every stage.
Do I need to fix all my teeth?
Not at all. A smile makeover may involve just a few front teeth or your entire smile. We’ll recommend only the procedures needed to achieve your desired result.
