Smile Makeovers in Ottawa
Transform Your Smile at BluSky Dental
What Is a Smile Makeover?
Your smile is often the first thing people notice. If you've been hiding yours due to stained, chipped, crooked, or missing teeth, a smile makeover can change everything. At BluSky Dental Holland Cross, we create customized smile transformations that combine art and science to give you the confident, beautiful smile you deserve.
Serving Westboro, Hintonburg, Wellington West, Little Italy, and Downtown Ottawa with complete smile transformation services.
A smile makeover is a comprehensive cosmetic dental treatment plan designed to transform the appearance of your smile. Unlike individual procedures, a makeover takes a holistic approach—addressing multiple concerns to create a harmonious, balanced result that complements your unique facial features.
Your makeover might include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, gum reshaping, crowns, orthodontics, or implants—whatever combination achieves your ideal smile. The key is customization: every makeover at our Westboro location is uniquely designed for you.
What Can a Smile Makeover Address?
Tooth Color
Discoloration from aging, coffee, wine, medications, or genetics can dull your smile. Professional whitening and/or veneers restore brilliant brightness.

Tooth Shape and Size
Teeth that are worn, chipped, or naturally small or uneven can be reshaped with bonding, veneers, or crowns for balanced proportions.
Learn more about Porcelain Veneers →
Tooth Alignment
Crooked, overlapping, or gapped teeth affect smile aesthetics and function. Orthodontics or veneers can create perfect alignment.
Missing Teeth
Gaps in your smile impact appearance and function. Dental implants, bridges, or other replacements complete your smile.

Gum Issues
Excessive, uneven, or receded gums frame your teeth poorly. Gum contouring or grafting creates the ideal tooth-to-gum ratio.
Old Dental Work
Dark metal fillings, discolored crowns, or failing restorations can be replaced with natural-looking modern materials.
Smile Makeover Procedures We Offer
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening is often the first step in a smile makeover. We offer custom take-home whitening trays for gradual, controlled brightening that you can maintain over time.
Whitening establishes your ideal shade before other procedures, ensuring color-matched restorations.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin porcelain shells bonded to front teeth can transform shape, size, color, and minor alignment in just two visits. Veneers are ideal for:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped or worn teeth
- Minor gaps or misalignment
- Misshapen teeth
Modern porcelain veneers look remarkably natural and last 15-20+ years with proper care.
Dental Bonding
Tooth-colored composite resin repairs chips, closes gaps, and reshapes teeth affordably. Bonding can often be completed in a single visit, making it an excellent option for minor improvements.
Dental Crowns
Full-coverage crowns restore damaged, weakened, or severely discolored teeth. Our same-day CAD/CAM crowns can be designed and placed in one appointment at our Holland Cross location.

Invisalign Clear Aligners
When alignment issues are significant, Invisalign straightens teeth without traditional braces. Many adults appreciate the discreet, comfortable approach that fits their lifestyle.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth leave gaps that affect smile aesthetics and function. Implants provide permanent, natural-looking replacements that function like real teeth.
Smile Design Technology
Digital smile design lets you preview your new smile before treatment begins. We use advanced imaging to create virtual mockups, ensuring you love the plan before we start.
The Smile Makeover Process
Step 1: Vision Consultation
Your journey begins with a conversation at our Westboro office. We discuss:
- What you dislike about your current smile
- What you'd like to change
- Your ideal vision for your smile
- Any concerns or questions
We take photographs and may use digital imaging to explore possibilities together.
Step 2: Comprehensive Evaluation
A thorough examination ensures we understand your complete oral health picture:
- Digital X-rays and imaging
- Gum health assessment
- Bite analysis
- Existing restoration evaluation
- Facial proportion analysis
This evaluation identifies any health issues to address before cosmetic work and provides the foundation for precise planning.
Step 3: Custom Treatment Plan
Based on your goals and our evaluation, we create your personalized makeover plan. This includes:
- Recommended procedures
- Treatment sequence
- Timeline
- Investment breakdown
We present options at different levels if budget is a concern—prioritizing the changes that will have the most impact.
Step 4: Foundation Phase
Before cosmetic enhancement, we ensure oral health is optimal:
- Treat any decay or infection
- Address gum disease if present
- Replace failing old restorations
- Complete any necessary root canals
This foundation ensures your cosmetic work lasts and your oral health supports your new smile.
Step 5: Cosmetic Treatment
With a healthy foundation, we proceed with cosmetic procedures in optimal sequence:
- Whitening - Establish your ideal shade
- Gum reshaping - Create proper proportions
- Veneers/crowns - Color-matched to whitened teeth
- Bonding - Final refinements
- Orthodontics - If included, often concurrent
Treatment duration depends on complexity—some makeovers complete in weeks, others in months.
Step 6: Reveal and Refinement
When treatment completes, we review your new smile together. Any final adjustments ensure perfect fit, comfort, and appearance. This is the moment patients describe as life-changing.
Step 7: Maintenance Plan
We provide:
- Customized care instructions
- Maintenance schedule
- Night guard if recommended
- Touch-up whitening options
Proper maintenance preserves your investment for years to come.
Benefits of a Smile Makeover
Increased Confidence
The most profound benefit is psychological. Patients consistently report feeling more confident in social situations, professional settings, and daily life. Many describe feeling like themselves for the first time in years.
Improved Professional Image
First impressions matter in business. A bright, healthy smile projects confidence and competence, potentially impacting career opportunities and professional relationships.
Enhanced Relationships
Smiling is fundamental to human connection. When you're proud of your smile, you smile more—improving relationships and social interactions.
Better Oral Health
Smile makeovers often improve oral health by replacing old restorations, correcting bite issues, and motivating better home care. Many patients become more invested in maintaining their beautiful new smile.
Long-Lasting Results
Modern dental materials and techniques provide results that last. With proper care, many smile makeover components last 15-20 years or longer.
