Full Smile Makeovers

Is there something about your smile you would improve, but aren’t sure how to get there from here? All you know is that years of wear, old dental work, and gradual changes have left you with a smile that no longer reflects who you are.

A smile makeover from Dr. Aaron Ochoco at Schuster and Ochoco Dental may be the solution to get back the smile you once loved. This is not a package or specific procedure; it is a complete treatment plan to address multiple issues in a way that makes sense for you.

Common Reasons for a Smile Makeover

The most common reasons our patients seek a consultation with Dr. Ochoco include:

  • Multiple cosmetic concerns affecting different teeth
  • Worn, shortened, or flattened teeth that have changed over time
  • Old veneers, crowns, or bonding that no longer look natural
  • Gaps, chips, or uneven edges across several teeth
  • Discoloration that whitening alone won't correct
  • Bite changes that have affected the appearance of the smile

If you have postponed treatment because you weren't sure where to begin, Dr. Ochoco can guide you through the steps to a smile that feels more like you.

The Benefits of a Planned Smile Makeover

Thoughtful planning is essential to the success of every smile makeover and is an area where Dr. Ochoco excels.
Personalized Planning
Every smile makeover begins with a thorough understanding of your specific concerns, facial features, and goals. No two plans look the same because no two patients are the same.
Predictable Outcomes
Dr. Ochoco's mockup and approval process means you know what to expect before he touches a single tooth. He doesn't interpret your goals; he collaborates with you and confirms them at every stage.
Building on a Healthy Foundation
Before beginning any cosmetic work, Dr. Ochoco addresses the underlying health of your teeth and gums. Restorations built on a healthy foundation last longer and perform better over time.
Natural Aesthetics
The goal is a smile that looks like yours at its best, one that suits your face, fits your age, and feels authentic. We aim to create a smile that looks like you were born with it, only better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Individual cosmetic treatments address specific concerns. A veneer corrects the shape or color of a single tooth, bonding repairs a chip, and whitening addresses overall discoloration. Each works well when the concern is contained, and the surrounding teeth don't need attention.

A smile makeover is different in scope and in process.

When a Smile Makeover Makes Sense

  • Multiple teeth need correction, and treating them individually could produce inconsistent results.
  • Existing restorations need to be replaced, and the surrounding teeth need to match.
  • Your concerns involve both appearance and function, such as bite changes alongside cosmetic issues.
  • You want a cohesive result rather than isolated improvements

How It's Different from Individual Treatments 

  • Treatment is planned as a whole before any individual procedure begins
  • The sequence is deliberate, with each phase building toward a defined final result
  • Mockups and patient approval happen before permanent work begins
  • Dr. Ochoco coordinates every element of treatment himself, within a single practice, with continuity across every appointment

What a Smile Makeover Isn’t

A smile makeover at Schuster and Ochoco Dental is not a fixed package with a predetermined list of procedures. It's a carefully thought-out process that results in a customized treatment plan. Some patients need extensive work. Others need less than they expected. The consultation determines which.

To find out whether a smile makeover or individual treatments make more sense for your goals, call (310) 453-5300 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ochoco.

Schuster and Ochoco Dental serves patients from Brentwood, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and the surrounding Westside communities.

Understanding Your Smile Vision

Before discussing treatment, Dr. Ochoco may ask you for a photo from a time when you loved your smile. These photos are valuable because they represent your vision of what you consider your ideal look.

If you don’t have a photo or have never really liked your smile, that’s okay. Dr. Ochoco’s process includes a conversation and assessment of your current smile, facial proportions, bite, tooth wear, and existing restorations. This step provides a complete picture of what you are hoping to achieve.

How Dr. Ochoco Plans a Smile Makeover

A smile makeover may involve any combination of treatments, including: 

  • Veneers
  • Composite bonding
  • Ceramic crowns
  • Teeth whitening
  • Replacing old dental work

Your Smile Preview

Smile design is a crucial step in the process. First, Dr. Ochoco notes what works and what needs refinement.

After evaluating your smile and taking digital impressions, he creates hand-crafted mockups of the proposed result. You try it, evaluate it, and share your reaction.

He then sends detailed specifications to a custom dental lab that produces a digital version for further review. By the time treatment begins, you have already approved the outcome.

Full Smile Makeovers Technology

Intraoral Cameras

Intraoral Cameras

An intraoral camera is a small, handheld device that captures detailed images of the inside of your mouth. Dr. Ochoco uses it to show you exactly what he sees, such as a crack, an area of wear, or a restoration that may need attention, rather than simply describing it. When you can see what he sees, it's easier to understand your oral health and feel confident in the care he recommends.

Think of it as a guided tour of your own smile. The camera displays real-time images on a screen during your visit, giving you a front-row view of your teeth and gums. This kind of transparency helps turn a routine checkup into a meaningful conversation about your dental health, one where you're an informed, involved participant.

Testimonial

"Thank you Dr. Aaron Ochoco!!"

I’m so grateful to have been referred to Dr. Ochoco. I destroyed my two front teeth 10 years ago and have had dentist nightmares repairing chipped bonding over the years. I had a recent chip over the weekend and was able to be seen on Monday! The office was lovely and the front desk manager was so kind and welcoming. Dr. Ochoco is the first dentist to offer honest advice, patient and gentle treatment. My front teeth look amazing and I feel confident knowing I have found a talented dentist I can trust!
