When you hear the words “smile makeover,” you probably think about what happens inside your mouth, such as whiter teeth, straighter alignment, maybe a few porcelain veneers. And you’d be right. But here in our Beaverton dental office, we’ve always believed that your smile doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s part of your whole face. It moves when you laugh, frames your eyes when you speak, and works alongside every expression you make. That’s why a smile makeover at MH Dental looks a little different than what you might expect.
The Bigger Picture
Think about the last time you saw someone’s photo and thought they looked genuinely happy. Chances are, their smile reached all the way to their eyes, right? That connection between your smile and the rest of your face isn’t just emotional, it’s physical. And sometimes, even after we’ve perfected someone’s teeth, they still feel like something’s missing.
Maybe it’s those little lines around the mouth that have settled in over the years. Maybe it’s tension in the jaw that keeps their smile from feeling relaxed. Or maybe it’s just that their teeth look fantastic, but the overall picture still doesn’t match how young they feel.
That’s where our approach comes in.
Two Services, One Goal
At Mattson Hellickson Dental, we’re proud to offer both comprehensive cosmetic dentistry and facial rejuvenation treatments like Botox and dermal fillers, all under one roof. This isn’t common in Beaverton, and honestly, it’s not common anywhere. But for us, it just makes sense.
Here’s why:
When Dr. Mattson, Dr. Hellickson, or Dr. Daraee completes a smile makeover, whether that’s through veneers, clear aligners, or a combination of treatments, they’re not just looking at your teeth. They’re looking at how those teeth interact with the rest of your face. Adding a touch of dermal filler to soften the lines around your mouth or a few strategic units of Botox to relax a tired-looking brow can be the difference between a great smile and a smile that truly transforms how you feel every time you look in the mirror.
Real Results, Real People
We’re not talking about dramatic, frozen expressions or that “I had work done” look. We’re talking about subtle, thoughtful enhancements that help your smile look like you, just a more refreshed, confident version.
Take the patient who’s considering porcelain veneers to close gaps and brighten her smile. She’s in her early 40s, active, runs a small business in town, and wants to look like she feels, energetic and capable. After her veneers are placed, she loves her new smile. But she mentions she still feels like her face looks tired in photos.
A conservative approach with dermal fillers, placed by one of our trained providers, could restore a bit of volume where it’s naturally diminished over time. The result? Her smile now has the support it needs to truly shine. She looks like herself on a really good day, every day.
The Comfort of One Place
There’s another benefit to having both services available here: you’re already someplace comfortable. You know our office. You know our team. You’ve built trust with us over years of cleanings and checkups. Adding a conversation about facial rejuvenation to your cosmetic consultation doesn’t mean starting over with a stranger in a medical spa. It means sitting in the same chair, talking with the same people, about how we can help you feel more like yourself.
