Is a Smile Makeover Right for You?

A smile makeover combines one or more cosmetic dental treatments to improve the look, function, and health of your teeth. Whether you want a subtle refresh or a dramatic transformation, our dentists create customized plans based on your needs and goals.

Common reasons patients choose cosmetic dentistry include:

  • Stained or discolored teeth

  • Gaps or misaligned teeth

  • Worn, chipped, or cracked teeth

  • “Gummy” smile appearance

  • Missing teeth

You don’t have to live with a smile you’re unhappy with. Thanks to modern cosmetic dentistry, there are many effective ways to improve the look and function of your teeth. Whether you’re dealing with discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment, our team at WoodSprings Dentistry can help you achieve a smile you’ll feel proud to share.

Many smile makeovers only require a few cosmetic treatments to create dramatic results. During your consultation, our dentists will take the time to understand your goals and recommend the best options for your unique needs. From teeth whitening and veneers to clear aligners and dental implants, we combine advanced techniques with personalized care to design a treatment plan that fits you perfectly.

Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Options for a Smile Makeover

Teeth Whitening

If your teeth appear yellow, dull, or stained, professional teeth whitening can dramatically brighten your smile—often in just one visit. At WoodSprings Dentistry, we provide safe and effective whitening treatments designed to deliver fast, noticeable results.

In-office teeth whitening procedures usually takes less than two hours and can leave your smile looking several shades brighter. For patients who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, we also offer GLO professional take-home whitening kits with a powerful bleaching solution for lasting results.

With both in-office and take-home options, you can achieve a healthier, more radiant smile with cosmetic teeth whitening tailored to your lifestyle.

Modern Orthodontics

At WoodSprings Dentistry, we are proud to offer clear aligners—sometimes called clear braces and made popular by the brand Invisalign®—for patients who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. This modern orthodontic treatment improves not only the appearance of your smile but also its function and long-term health.

We often recommend clear aligners to correct:

  • Crooked or twisted teeth

  • Misaligned bites (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite)

  • Gapped or overcrowded teeth

Our practice uses SureSmile® Aligners, a trusted orthodontic solution for adults in Spring and The Woodlands, TX. These aligners use advanced digital scanning for precise results, helping patients achieve straighter teeth and a more confident smile—without the look and feel of traditional braces.

Benefits of SureSmile® Clear Aligners:

  • Digital scanning technology replaces messy impressions

  • Nearly invisible design for a discreet treatment experience

  • Removable aligners make it easy to eat, drink, and brush normally

  • Insurance-friendly—covered by many orthodontic plans

With SureSmile®, you can enjoy a faster, more comfortable way to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Laser Dentistry

Modern laser dentistry offers precise, minimally invasive solutions for a wide range of dental concerns. At WoodSprings Dentistry, our skilled dentists use advanced soft-tissue laser technology to provide comfortable, virtually painless treatments tailored to your unique needs.

One of the most popular applications of laser dentistry is gum contouring, which reshapes excess gum tissue to reduce the appearance of a “gummy smile” and create a more balanced, attractive look. With laser treatments, patients in Spring and The Woodlands, TX can enjoy faster healing, minimal discomfort, and outstanding results.

Dental Veneers & Porcelain Crowns

If you’re looking for a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your teeth, dental veneers and porcelain crowns are excellent cosmetic dentistry solutions. Veneers and crowns can correct issues such as:

  • Worn or fractured teeth

  • Stubborn discoloration

  • Uneven or misshaped teeth

In the past, crowns and veneers could sometimes appear artificial or show a dark line near the gums. Thanks to modern dental materials, today’s porcelain restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in both color and texture.

Replacing Missing Teeth with Implants & Bridges

Missing teeth don’t just affect your confidence—they can also impact your oral health and bite function. At our practice, we offer both dental implants and dental bridges to restore a complete, healthy smile.

  • Dental Implants – A long-lasting solution that replaces the tooth root with a titanium post, topped with a lifelike crown. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, making them one of the most popular restoration options.

  • Dental Bridges – A reliable choice for patients missing one or more teeth in a row. A bridge uses dental crowns on either side of the gap to hold a prosthetic tooth securely in place.

Whether you choose implants or a bridge, our dentists will help you find the right solution to restore your smile and confidence. Patients from Spring, The Woodlands, and surrounding North Houston communities trust WoodSprings Dentistry for natural-looking tooth replacement options.
