A smile makeover focuses on cosmetic improvements to enhance the appearance of your smile, while full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive approach to restore the entire mouth's function and address dental health concerns. A smile makeover may require just one tooth to be changed in some cases, while a full-mouth reconstruction almost always involves several teeth and is also concerned with how they fit together.
