I saw on television there is a way to upload your photo and see what you would look like with a smile makeover. I’ve always hated my smile and would love to try something like this to see if a smile makeover would help me. Where do I find those?

Dear Katie,
Smile makeovers give you the confidence to smile again.
Yes, these programs do exist and they are a fantastic tool to help you and your cosmetic dentist design your smile makeover so you’ll know exactly what it will look like. To my knowledge, though, the software for these is not available to the general public. They’re marketed and sold to cosmetic dentists.
This makes sense because, without a skilled dentist to bring the smile makeover to life, it is nothing more than a game that makes you wish your smile was different. I would think it would get depressing.
Fortunately, many dentists offer this in their office. Some for free. For instance, Dr. Dennis offers a complimentary smile analysis. Be careful. As I mentioned before it is a powerful tool. Once you see what your smile will look like, you’ll want to get the work done.
What’s the Best Procedure for a Smile Makeover?
If you truly want to remake your smile, porcelain veneers are the go-to procedure..It’s what celebrities use to get that perfect paparazzi-worthy smile. These tiny wafers of porcelain can change the shape, size, and color of your teeth simultaneously. A skilled dentist can even create a certain character and feel to your smile.
Be certain the dentist you choose can follow through on the promised work. It’s important you look at examples of work they’ve done to see if they do a good job. Not all cosmetic dentists are equally artistic. You should also make sure they have some form of a beautiful smile guarantee so you are ensured you’ll get the smile you paid for.
