A smile makeover is one of the most personal decisions a patient can make in dentistry — and for Summerlin, NV patients who have been self-conscious about their smile for years, it is often the decision that changes how they show up in the world. It is not a single treatment but a coordinated plan: two or more cosmetic and restorative procedures combined and sequenced to address multiple concerns at once, producing a result that looks unified rather than patchwork.
At Mesa Dental in Summerlin, NV, Dr. Emily Browner is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (and the Academy of General Dentistry) — and her approach to smile makeovers reflects that depth of training. She is known for the time she takes with new makeover patients, often spending 45 minutes to an hour in the first evaluation listening to what each patient actually wants from their smile before making a single recommendation. The goal is not to upsell treatments. It is to design the most conservative, effective path to the result you actually want — through the full range of our cosmetic dentistry services.

A smile makeover is a comprehensive, customized treatment plan that combines two or more dental procedures to address multiple concerns at once and deliver a cohesive result. The key word is “customized” — no two makeovers at our Summerlin, NV practice are the same because no two patients have the same goals, the same oral health starting point, or the same aesthetic priorities. What unifies every makeover plan is the planning process: Dr. Browner evaluates the complete picture of your smile before recommending a single treatment, ensuring each procedure selected genuinely serves the overall result.
A smile makeover differs from a standard cosmetic appointment in scope and sequencing. Individual treatments are chosen for how they work together, not just for what each one does alone. Whitening is scheduled before restorations so that shade is set first. Gum contouring is performed before veneers when the gum line needs to be proportionate before cosmetic work is placed. Invisalign precedes bonding or veneers when alignment affects the final result. The sequence matters as much as the treatments themselves.
Smile makeovers at Mesa Dental in Summerlin, NV serve patients with a wide range of concerns — the plan is built around yours specifically. Common motivations that bring Summerlin patients to a makeover consultation include:
Because every smile makeover at our Summerlin, NV practice is built around the individual, the procedures vary widely from patient to patient. The most commonly incorporated treatments include:
Professional teeth whitening — typically the first step when restorations are planned, so the natural tooth shade is brightened before everything else is color-matched to it.
Porcelain veneers — the highest-impact single treatment in most makeover plans. Custom-designed shells that simultaneously correct shade, shape, size, and surface texture across multiple teeth.
Composite bonding — the most conservative and affordable entry point for patients who want to address chips, minor gaps, or shape issues without removing enamel.
Invisalign — incorporated when spacing or alignment affects the final aesthetic or when veneers placed without alignment correction would be less conservative than they could be.
Gum contouring — reshapes the gum line to create a proportionate frame for the teeth. Often recommended before veneers or bonding so all subsequent work sits on a balanced foundation.
Dr. Browner also coordinates with Dr. RJ for any surgical components a makeover may involve, giving Summerlin patients access to a comprehensive range of expertise under one roof.
Professional in-office bleaching results generally last for one to three years with proper care.
Before Dr. Browner recommends a single procedure, she conducts a full aesthetic analysis of your smile in the context of your overall facial structure. She evaluates how your teeth relate to your gum line, how your gum line relates to your lips at rest and while smiling, how tooth length and width proportions compare to ideal ratios, and how left-to-right symmetry across your arch affects the overall appearance. For Summerlin, NV patients, this level of analysis ensures the plan accounts for how all the elements interact — not just what each individual tooth looks like in isolation.
A smile makeover at Mesa Dental in Summerlin, NV is never a one-size-fits-all prescription. Dr. Browner walks every patient through the proposed plan in detail before any treatment begins — explaining the purpose of each recommended procedure, the sequence and why it matters, the realistic timeline, and the total cost. Patients are encouraged to ask questions, request alternatives, and adjust the plan based on what fits their priorities and budget. Some Summerlin patients complete a full makeover in one coordinated sequence. Others start with one or two treatments and add to the plan over time as their goals evolve. Both approaches work, and Dr. Browner designs the plan to support either path.
