Smile Makeover
Imagine you are on a date, delivering a work presentation, or taking a photo. Are you covering your smile to hide imperfections?
If you are unhappy with the way your smile looks, a smile makeover can conceal stains, misshapen teeth, and other cosmetic concerns.
Learn how a smile makeover in Albuquerque, NM, from Parkway Dental can help you feel more confident in your personal and professional life.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a custom combination of cosmetic dentistry procedures aimed at concealing or correcting a variety of cosmetic flaws. This treatment is the perfect solution for patients who want to address multiple imperfections rather than a single flaw.
In many cases, Dr. Michael Haight can perform more than one smile makeover procedure in a single appointment, reducing the overall number of office visits needed to achieve the desired results.

Straighten Your Teeth With SureSmile
SureSmile® clear aligners can straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly. The dentists at Parkway Dental prefer to work with SureSmile instead of other types of clear aligners because they've found that the results are more predictable. By straightening your teeth with SureSmile, you can improve your dental health and appearance.
Are You a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
In general, the best candidates are patients who want to address two or more cosmetic flaws and are in good oral health. If you are suffering from tooth decay or gum disease, our dentist must address those conditions prior to moving forward with cosmetic dentistry treatments. Some of the imperfections this comprehensive treatment plan can address include:
- Extrinsic (surface) and intrinsic (internal) dental stains
- Minor damage, such as a chipped tooth
- Misshapen or eroded teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Slight overlapping or crooked teeth
Which Procedures Are Included in a Smile Makeover?
That depends on your unique cosmetic concerns, the health of your smile, and your individual budget. Dr. Haight will take these factors into account when building your custom treatment plan. Procedures that can be included are:
Dental Implants Enhance Both Your Appearance and Your Health
While Dr. Haight is recognized for his cosmetic dentistry work, he also excels at restorative dentistry. To replace missing teeth, Dr. Haight can place and restore dental implants at his Albuquerque office. If you need a dental restoration such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture as part of your smile rehabilitation, Dr. Haight can provide your dental care in-office, too. Dr. Haight is a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists who uses the latest technology when planning your surgery, making him an excellent choice for patients who need dental implants.

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers and protects a compromised tooth. At Parkway Dental, we manufacture crowns in-house in a single appointment with our CEREC® technology. Crowns can last for 15 years or longer with proper care.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Smile makeovers are highly customized treatment plans. Therefore, one patient’s plan may consist of just two procedures, while another patient’s plan may consist of three or more dental procedures over the course of several appointments.
How Much Does a Smile Makeover Cost?
Because every smile makeover is unique to the patient's needs, we provide a quote during your first consultation at our Albuquerque, NM, dental office. The cost of your treatment will depend on your individual aesthetic concerns, the procedures included in your treatment, and the condition of your smile.
It is important to note that insurance rarely covers the cost of cosmetic treatments. To make your dream smile more affordable, our cosmetic dentist offers cost-effective financing options through third-party lenders including Compassionate Finance.
Frequently Asked Questions About Smile Makeovers in Albuquerque
Q. Does a smile makeover hurt?
A. No. Many makeover treatments, like veneers and teeth whitening, are practically painless. For other treatments that require more significant alterations to the tooth, like dental crowns, we will thoroughly numb the treatment area with a local anesthetic before beginning. We also have sedation options for those who feel they could benefit from an extra level of comfort.
Q. How long does a smile makeover take?
A. This will depend on your unique treatment plan. Some treatments, like dental crowns, can be completed in as little as one appointment thanks to our CEREC technology. However, addressing issues such as crooked teeth with clear aligners like Invisalign or SureSmile can take 12–24 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Once you and your dentist develop your custom smile makeover treatment plan, we can provide you with a more accurate timeline.
Q. Can I combine restorative dentistry treatments in my smile makeover?
A. Generally speaking, you must be in good oral health before undergoing cosmetic treatments, but some restorative treatments, like dental crowns and dental implants, offer cosmetic benefits at the same time. If you have issues like tooth decay and gum disease, Dr. Haight can address these at our Albuquerque practice so that you have a healthy foundation for cosmetic treatments. If your concerns mainly have to do with the health and function of your smile, we can explore full mouth reconstruction instead. This treatment plan combines restorative procedures for streamlined care, just like a smile makeover combines cosmetic procedures.

Why Albuquerque Chooses Parkway Dental

Dr. Haight has been my dentist for 29 years (minus a few years I’ve lived elsewhere). His staff always makes time for my needs, addresses them quickly, and is very friendly. He has repeatedly gone above and beyond to take care of me including staying late so I could get to camp as a kid the next day without pain. He is constantly investing in new technology to give you faster better care like 2 hour crowns, comprehensive X-rays, and lasers for working on kids without pain/numbing medication. I would pay cash to see Dr. Haight if my insurance ever stops working with him.
