I am petrified at going to the dentist. Anxiety is unbelievable. Lizette was so kind and supportive with all my questions and anxiety from the minute she picked me up from the front. Dr Lyman was great. Gentle, kind and let me know what was going on and what I needed to do and when. Definitely going to be my dentist from now on. I have a plan thanks to Dr Lyman and Lizette. Thank you!!

Caring and knowledgeable. Saw me not being his patient. I had a dental emergency and saw me same day I called. I appreciate his concern for people. My own dentist wouldn't see me even when I mentioned it was an emergency. She said she was busy all day. Thank you Wilmot Family Dentistry.

Dr. Lyman and all of his staff are fantastic. I originally found his practice when I needed a GOOD family dentist for my children but what I got was EXCELLENCE. I called him in a panic late last year after being told devastating news by another dental staff/office and he fit me in as an emergency right away. Immediately, Dr. Lyman and all of his assistants/techs/staff provided reassurance, hope, and an excellent plan for my care. I recently lost my dental benefits coverage and this dental office is so professional and nurturing that I will continue as a self-pay client because the ease and quality of care I'm receiving is worth it. Thank you Wilmot Family Dentistry!!

Michelle was an excellent hygienist! Easily the best one I’ve ever had (I’m in my 60s, so I’ve had a few). Dr. Lyman was kind, friendly and spoke to me, not at me, about what was going on and made suggestions on how I could change my preventative dental care going forward. No up-sales, no pressure, such a kind and caring approach. Very happy with my new dental team.

The folks at Wilmot Family Dentistry are courteous and welcoming and at the same time professional. Thank you to Dr. Lyman and Allison for the hands-on care and to all those who provided preparatory and administrative services.

When several concerns affect your smile at once, correcting them individually can create uneven results. Worn enamel, discoloration, old crowns, shifting teeth, and gum changes often overlap. A smile makeover lets us rebuild your smile as a coordinated system rather than a series of isolated fixes.

At Wilmot Family Dentistry in Tucson, we begin with a detailed evaluation of enamel thickness, bite force distribution, jaw movement, gum symmetry, and existing restorations. Many patients from East Tucson to Catalina Foothills come in seeking cosmetic improvement, but assessment often reveals deeper structural issues. We stabilize the foundation first, then refine aesthetics once strength and alignment are confirmed.

Our Smile Makeover Services in Tucson 

A smile makeover integrates cosmetic dentistry with structural rehabilitation. We assess how your teeth function under pressure, how your smile line fits your facial proportions, and how previous dental work has aged.

Surface enhancement alone does not hold up when structural weaknesses remain. When needed, we rebuild and reinforce before refining contour, shade, and proportion. This sequence protects long term stability.

Teeth Aligners Options Services We Offer

Veneers, Bonding, and Surface Refinement

When uneven shape, spacing, or discoloration affects your appearance, we refine enamel using veneers or composite bonding. We adjust length, width, and contour so teeth look balanced without looking artificial.

Shade selection requires careful judgment. Translucency and surface texture must match the surrounding enamel, so restorations blend naturally in everyday light.

Teeth Restoration for Worn or Structurally Compromised Smiles

Grinding, erosion, and aging restorations can reduce tooth height and alter bite relationships. Before cosmetic work begins, we restore structural integrity and vertical dimension when needed. This helps prevent overload on veneers or bonding later.

Our dentist verifies chewing contact and functional movement before finalizing aesthetic restorations. Cosmetic improvement must rest on a reliable framework.

Gum Contouring and Receding Gum Correction

Gum position affects overall balance. Uneven levels can make teeth appear short or irregular. Recession can expose root surfaces and disrupt symmetry.

When soft tissue architecture affects proportion or health, we correct it directly. Balanced gum contours frame teeth evenly and support periodontal stability.

Bite Alignment and Functional Stability

A complete smile makeover must account for how your teeth meet and move. Uneven pressure shortens restoration lifespan and can create discomfort.

We evaluate occlusion carefully before placing final restorations. Adjustments are made deliberately so your new smile functions comfortably during normal chewing and speaking.

Structural Restoration and Crown Replacement

Many patients seeking a smile makeover already have crowns, veneers, large fillings, or bonding placed years ago. Over time, margins wear down, color shifts, and tooth structure weakens. Before cosmetic refinement begins, we assess which restorations should be replaced.

When crowns no longer fit precisely or older veneers show edge breakdown, we remove and rebuild them properly. Replacing failing dental work gives your complete smile makeover stable, well-sealed foundations instead of layered corrections over compromised structure.

Advanced Smile Reconstruction

In cases of severe enamel wear, grinding damage, or bite collapse, cosmetic enhancement alone is not enough. We restore lost tooth height and reestablish balanced occlusion before refining surface aesthetics.

Advanced reconstruction may involve staged rebuilding across multiple teeth. By restoring structural support and vertical dimension first, we protect final restorations and improve function under normal chewing forces.

Digital Smile Preview and Planning

Before complex cosmetic or restorative treatment, we use diagnostic records and digital planning to evaluate proportions and alignment. This helps you visualise contour changes before final materials are placed.

Provisional restorations may be used to test shape, length, and bite comfort. We make adjustments during this phase, so your full smile makeover reflects both aesthetic goals and functional stability.

Complete Smile Makeovers for Complex Cases

Some cases require staged reconstruction. When enamel wear, structural damage, gum changes, and cosmetic concerns occur together, treatment must follow a logical order.

Our specialized dentist rebuild strength and alignment first. Aesthetic refinement follows once stability is confirmed. Each phase supports the next, so the final smile transformation looks natural and performs predictably.

Our Comprehensive Smile Makeover Process

Your consultation begins with diagnostic records and functional assessment. We analyze how your bite moves, not only how your teeth appear in photographs.

We outline which procedures support stability and which focus on refinement. In complex cases, provisional restorations allow you to experience contour and alignment before final placement. Adjustments are made thoughtfully rather than reactively.

Throughout treatment, we monitor comfort, symmetry, and bite balance. We check stability at each stage before moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What treatments are included in a smile makeover?

A smile makeover may include veneers, bonding, crowns, gum reshaping, or bite correction. The combination depends on structural condition and aesthetic goals.

Can a smile makeover address receding gums?

Yes. When gum recession affects symmetry or exposes root surfaces, corrective procedures can be incorporated into the treatment plan.

What is the difference between cosmetic enhancement and full smile restoration?

Cosmetic enhancement focuses on surface appearance. Full smile restoration addresses structural rebuilding and bite stability in addition to aesthetics.
