A smile you feel confident about affects more than aesthetics. It changes how you carry yourself in conversations, photos, and professional situations that matter. A smile makeover in Boynton Beach at Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics is a personalized combination of cosmetic and restorative procedures — planned together as a single coordinated vision rather than a series of disconnected treatments.
Dr. Nicholas Goetz, a maxillofacial prosthodontic trained dental professional and one of approximately 150 in the United States, brings a level of planning depth that goes well beyond standard cosmetic dentistry. Every smile makeover at Ocean Breeze accounts for color, proportion, bite mechanics, and the long-term durability of each procedure — because a beautiful result that doesn’t hold up isn’t a complete one.
Most smile makeovers are planned and executed by general dentists with cosmetic training. The result can look good, but the plan often lacks the structural depth to account for bite relationship, long-term wear patterns, and how each procedure interacts with the ones around it. When a smile involves multiple teeth, or when restorative and cosmetic work need to coexist, that planning gap can show up years later.
At Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics, smile makeover planning is led by a maxillofacial prosthodontist — a specialist whose entire training is dedicated to restoring teeth at the most complex level. Dr. Goetz uses CBCT scanning to visualize the underlying bone and bite structure before finalizing any treatment sequence, and he designs every component of the makeover to work together as a system, not just as individual procedures placed in sequence. For Boynton Beach patients who want a result that holds up as well as it looks, that distinction matters.
No two smile makeovers are identical — the right combination of procedures depends entirely on your specific concerns, goals, and oral health. Dr. Goetz evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and facial proportions before recommending a treatment sequence. Common components of a smile makeover at Ocean Breeze include:
A smile makeover is appropriate for any adult in good general oral health who has one or more cosmetic or restorative concerns affecting how their smile looks or functions. The best candidates are committed to maintaining their results with good home care and regular checkups. Beyond that, the right combination of procedures depends on your specific concerns.
Discoloration, chips, gaps, uneven edges, or teeth that feel too small or too large for your face are the most common reasons patients pursue a smile makeover. These concerns are often addressable with a combination of whitening, veneers, and bonding — and a consultation with Dr. Goetz will identify exactly which procedures make sense for your specific situation.
Some patients come in with cosmetic goals but discover their case also involves cracked teeth, worn enamel from bruxism, or missing teeth that need to be addressed before or alongside cosmetic work. This is where a prosthodontic-led makeover is genuinely different — Dr. Goetz addresses the restorative foundation and the cosmetic result together, rather than treating them as separate concerns.
Many patients who pursue a smile makeover have been thinking about it for years. They’ve been managing self-consciousness about their teeth while waiting for the right time, the right provider, or the right level of clarity about what is actually involved. A consultation at Ocean Breeze is designed to provide that clarity — no pressure, no rushed recommendations, just an honest assessment of what is possible and what each procedure actually entails.
Weddings, milestone anniversaries, professional milestones, or simply reaching a point in life where you want to invest in yourself — many smile makeover patients have a specific event or moment in mind. If you have a target date, Dr. Goetz can map out a realistic timeline at your consultation so every procedure is sequenced to be complete before that date arrives.
Dr. Nicholas Goetz completed a Maxillofacial Prosthodontics Fellowship at UCLA following his dental training at the University of Florida, then spent years as a civilian maxillofacial prosthodontist for the U.S. Army and the VA Medical Hospital — treating patients with complex rehabilitation needs where precision was not optional. He is one of approximately 150 maxillofacial prosthodontists in the United States, and that clinical depth is what he brings to every smile makeover case at Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics in Boynton Beach. A complete smile transformation requires someone who understands not just what looks right, but what holds up.
Your first appointment covers a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and facial proportions. Dr. Goetz reviews your concerns, examines existing restorations, takes digital X-rays or CBCT imaging as needed, and discusses realistic expectations for each procedure you are considering. The consultation ends with a clear treatment plan — what each step involves, the sequence, the timeline, and the associated costs — so you can make an informed decision before committing.
Once the treatment plan is approved, procedures are scheduled in the correct clinical sequence. Restorative work that affects the bite — such as crowns or implants — is completed before final cosmetic procedures like veneers or whitening. This sequencing ensures every procedure supports the ones that follow and that the final cosmetic result is built on a sound structural foundation.
As each phase of your makeover is completed, Dr. Goetz reviews the result against the original plan. Final restorations are evaluated for shade accuracy, bite contact, marginal fit, and overall esthetic integration before being permanently delivered. If any adjustment is needed, it is addressed before you leave — not at a follow-up appointment weeks later.
We believe cost should never stand between you and a smile that changes how you feel every day. Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics offers flexible financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Alpheon so the path to your complete smile feels manageable. While we are not in-network with insurance companies, we file claims on your behalf and help you secure any reimbursement your PPO plan allows for covered components of your makeover — such as crowns, implants, or restorative procedures included in the plan.

The cost of a smile makeover in Boynton Beach depends entirely on which procedures are included. A makeover combining whitening and bonding costs significantly less than one incorporating veneers and crowns. Dr. Goetz provides a detailed cost breakdown at your consultation — itemized by procedure — so you can make informed decisions about what to prioritize and how to phase the work if needed.
Timeline varies based on the procedures involved. A makeover limited to whitening and bonding can often be completed in one or two appointments. A case involving veneers typically takes three to four weeks from consultation to final placement. Makeovers that include implants, crowns, or more complex restorative work may span several months. Dr. Goetz outlines a realistic timeline at your consultation based on exactly what your plan includes.
Good candidates are adults with healthy gums and adequate tooth structure who want to address one or more cosmetic or restorative concerns. Active gum disease or significant decay needs to be resolved before cosmetic procedures begin, but these are treatable conditions — not disqualifiers. A consultation with Dr. Goetz will identify your starting point and confirm which procedures make sense in which order.
With proper home care and regular professional maintenance, porcelain veneers and crowns typically last 15 years or longer. Whitening results last 1 to 3 years depending on diet and habits and can be refreshed with periodic touch-ups. Dental bonding generally lasts 5 to 10 years before it may need repair or replacement. Dr. Goetz will outline the expected longevity of each component of your plan at your consultation.
Coverage varies by plan. Purely cosmetic procedures like whitening and veneers are generally not covered by insurance. However, if your makeover includes restorative components — crowns, implants, bonding for a chipped tooth — those portions may qualify for partial coverage. While we are not in-network with insurance companies, we file claims on your behalf and help you maximize any reimbursement your PPO allows.
Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you — and when you’re not happy with it, that affects how you show up every day. Dr. Nicholas Goetz, one of approximately 150 maxillofacial prosthodontists in the United States, brings fellowship-level training from UCLA and years of complex rehabilitation experience to every smile makeover at Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics in Boynton Beach. Whether your goals are simple or ambitious, the plan starts with an honest, no-pressure consultation.
