Smile Makeover
Your teeth are healthy — but you're not happy with how they look. A smile makeover redesigns color, shape and alignment with digital precision and artistic design, so the result looks like you, only better.
Preview your new smile before we touch a single tooth — and get it done in a single trip to Puerto Vallarta, for a fraction of US prices.
Wondering how a smile makeover works?
Will my teeth look fake?
No. We design your smile digitally with you — you approve the shape, size and shade before anything is made. The goal is a natural look that fits your face.
Will it hurt?
Most treatments involve little to no discomfort. Whitening and bonding need no anesthesia at all; for veneers or crowns we use local anesthesia, and sedation is available if you're anxious.
How many trips does it take?
Usually just one. Most makeovers are completed with two visits to the office during your stay — design, preparation, lab work and final placement included.
How long will it last?
Porcelain veneers and crowns typically last 10–15 years or more with normal care. Whitening and bonding need occasional touch-ups — we'll show you how to keep them looking great.
What a smile makeover can fix
Whatever bothers you about your smile, there's usually a comfortable, conservative way to fix it.
Stained, yellowed or uneven color
Professional whitening and porcelain veneers restore a natural, even shade — including teeth stained by medication or age.
Chipped, worn or misshapen teeth
Veneers, crowns and tooth-colored bonding rebuild the shape and length of your teeth, closing small gaps and repairing chips and wear.
Old, dark fillings and failing dental work
We replace old amalgam fillings and mismatched past work with tooth-colored restorations that blend invisibly with your natural teeth.
A smile you'd like fully redesigned
For larger cases — a full arch of veneers or crowns — we combine techniques into one coordinated plan, designed digitally from the start.
See your new smile before we begin — Digital Smile Design
Every smile makeover — whatever the size of the case — starts with a digital design that you review and approve before any work begins.
Photos & 3D scans
Photos and 3D scans of your face and teeth feed a digital model of your new smile.
You review and adjust
You review the design — shape, size, shade — on screen and adjust it with us, before any work begins.
What you approve is what you get
The design you approve guides everything: temporaries, lab work and final restorations.
The treatments behind it
A smile makeover combines whichever of these your case needs — no more, no less.
Porcelain veneers
Thin, custom shells that cover the front of your teeth to change color, shape and minor alignment.
Teeth whitening
Professional-grade, in-office whitening, with great results.
Crowns & bridges
Full-coverage porcelain restorations for damaged teeth.
Tooth-colored restorations
Modern resin fillings and bonding that replace old amalgam and repair chips invisibly.
Your smile makeover journey
Unlike implants, most smile makeovers are finished in a single trip. Here's how it works.

Real results
Before & after — real patients, real transformations.
“I took my time investigating all dental options here before choosing Dr. Rivas.
His attention to detail and listening to what the patient wants set him above all the others.
He also is a perfectionist! Which of course is exactly what you want when it comes to your smile! He had the lab redo several of my teeth so that they fit and looked exactly the way we discussed. I highly recommend him; you will not be disappointed with the results!”
