Smile Makeover in Chicago
A Personalized Cosmetic Plan Built Around Your Goals
A smile makeover brings several cosmetic and restorative treatments together into one plan, so your teeth look balanced and work well together. At 6 Corners Dental Studio in Chicago's Six Corners neighborhood, Dr. Julienne Hong creates smile makeover plans around what you want to change, the health of your teeth, and the pace that suits your life.
Every plan starts with a conversation. Dr. Hong listens to your concerns, looks closely at your teeth, gums, and bite, and then explains your options in plain language before anything begins.
What a Smile Makeover Can Include
Instead of treating one issue at a time, a smile makeover coordinates the treatments you need into a single plan. Depending on your goals, it may include:
- Porcelain veneers to improve the shape, size, or color of front teeth
- Teeth whitening to brighten stained or dull teeth
- Invisalign clear aligners to straighten teeth and close gaps
- Dental crowns to rebuild worn or damaged teeth
- Dental implant restorations or dental bridges to replace missing teeth
Is a Smile Makeover Right for You?
A smile makeover may be a good fit if you want to change more than one thing about your smile, such as:
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Stains that over-the-counter whitening hasn't improved
- Gaps or uneven teeth
- Missing or crooked teeth
- Older fillings or crowns that no longer match your smile
- An uneven gum line
Some plans include restorative treatment to improve how your teeth function as well as how they look, supported by our full range of restorative dentistry services.
How the Smile Makeover Process Works
1. Consultation and Digital Imaging
We talk through your goals, check your oral health, and take digital images so you can see the starting point and the changes we discuss.
2. Your Treatment Plan
Dr. Hong recommends a combination of treatments and explains the order, timing, and what each step involves. Your plan can be completed in phases or over a shorter period, depending on your needs.
3. Treatment, Step by Step
Each treatment is scheduled in a sequence that makes sense for your teeth and your calendar. Some patients finish in a few visits; others spread treatment out over several months.
4. Final Adjustments
When your last treatment is complete, we check your bite and make any final adjustments so your new smile feels natural.
Benefits of Planning Your Treatment Together
- One coordinated plan instead of separate, unconnected treatments
- Results that look balanced across your whole smile
- Restorative care that can improve chewing and bite function
- A clear timeline and plan before you start

Will I feel discomfort during treatment?
Most treatments in a smile makeover are minimally invasive and done with local anesthesia when needed. We explain what to expect at every stage.
