Customized Smile Make-Over transforms Quincy faces and lives
Making new smiles is my business; what you do with your smile is your business! If you are unhappy with what you see in the mirror, schedule a smile make-over consultation at my office in Quincy.
Envisioning your new smile
I can show how you would look with a movie star smile. We review before and after photographs of real smiles that look just like yours now, and see how they are transformed. Then we start with photos of your smile, and work together. You point out what you don’t like, and I make suggestions that you probably haven’t even thought of. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. New opportunities await – jobs, relationships, improved self-image, and confidence. A new YOU!
The Matarazzo smile
I promise that we will not start until we both have a clear picture of the final result. My smile make-overs are quick. Usually in two to three visits, within about three weeks, you can be enjoying the benefits. I utilize my experience in big problem dentistry to guide (not force) you.
Most dentist let their labs make the decisions, so patients end up looking the same, with cookie-cutter smiles. Ninety-nine percent of dentists have someone they don’t know, at a large lab (which may not be in the USA), use a computer to cut your teeth from a block of ceramic, of one solid color. Real teeth are not blocks of material.
Hi, coming to see Steve was the best thing that I could ever for myself, my husband and my family. They tell me how younger I look and I feel so much better, and I hope that I will be able to come in and meet his new friendly and dedicated staff again it is the best thing you can do for yourself. – Janet Hogun-Burn
Hi, so I decided one day that I really wanted to have my teeth done because I was really unhappy. I came into Dr. Stephen Matarazzo’s office they made me feel so comfortable here. They did not judge me by the way my teeth looked at any time. My teeth look beautiful now with no pain. I’m happy; my life has changed and can’t say enough about this practice. You have to go for it – Cheryl Halloran
I came in to see Dr. Stephen Matarazzo I think about 6 months or so ago, very unhappy with my smile and my teeth, and I bought – I needed a change and I found the doctor just browsing through the web and was very happy from day 1 I know have my new teeth in they are dentures and I have been told by my youngest daughters that they are beautiful and they look natural like real teeth I am very happy I can get everything, I ate gum yesterday which I have not been able to eat for a long time – I don’t know if I can eat all gum but there is one particular brand of gum that I eat – I thoroughly enjoyed it I had corn on the cob, and I have not had to pick it out of my teeth I have just enjoyed all food so far and I have had no problem whatsoever and I a, very happy with my smile now.
So I knocked my 2 front teeth out when I was 12 years old, and so I am 23 now so for the past 11 years I have been having different procedures done on my front teeth, I have had bonding and I was finally looking to get something more permanent so I came to Dr. Stephen Matarazzo, at first I was a little bit nervous but now as you can see my front teeth look super natural and they feel great in my mouth and the whole procedure was really easy and I am really happy with how it all turned out – Siobhan.
I fell when I was in a hotel and I broke my top 4 teeth, 3 of which were broken and half one was pretty severely fractured. I had known about Dr. Dr. Steve through my husband and who had, had work done there so I came to see him and had a great experience. Came in a couple of times took everything step by step, and everything was explained to me very clearly and I never had any questions about what was going on, and I had a very good experience as you can see everything – is that where to should be – so I am very happy with everything that was done.
Hi this is Dr. Steve and this is one of our nice patients Kirk, and he was nice enough to share his little story with us about this experience here – so kirk take it away. Well my teeth used to be in very rough shape and it was kind of a lost cause and I started needing some dentists that were amazing and they got the word out that I needed some help, and Dr. Stephen Matarazzo was kind enough to give me a call and we got together to get things fixed up and I could not be happier about it – le the pictures speak for themselves! And now when you seem you may notice my smile first but in a way that is an exact opposite that has been noticed previously – when people see me with my old smile they say oh that is a very intense face there and now when they see me – they see my personality a little bit at first and a very nice smile – Dr. Stephen Matarazzo corrected it for me. Yeah they got past – someone doesn’t like the way you smile it kind of blocks them from seeing you – exactly what you said Kirk even though you were there in real – you were happy before we fixed the smile – you were the happiest guy I ever met. Happier yeah, but you were pretty happy before and grateful for life and it’s just let people get to know you a little more. Yeah it acme a lot of times people would see my smile and you can kind of see in their face that it took a bit of getting used to, but you know once that happens then everything was fine but yeah I feel like you know when I meet kids now they don’t look at my face and have their eye wide for the first couple of minutes, they kind of warm up now – yeah it came as quite a shock. Thank you for sharing this story and so it has been a lot of fun and I am glad to have you choose us to help you. You could have gone to any number of fabulous dentists, and so glad you chose us. I am very grateful and glad!

Frequently Asked Questions About Smile Makeover
What dental concerns can a smile makeover correct?
A smile makeover can address several cosmetic concerns at the same time, including stained teeth, chips, cracks, uneven edges, worn enamel, gaps, old dental work, and teeth that look too short or irregular. Some patients also want their smile to appear brighter, fuller, or more balanced with their facial features. At Quincy Smile Center, Dr. Stephen Matarazzo evaluates the entire smile rather than focusing on a single tooth, so the final result looks coordinated and natural.
Is a smile makeover only for cosmetic improvements?
Although the main goal is to improve appearance, a smile makeover may also support better function when worn, damaged, or uneven teeth are involved. Teeth that do not fit together properly can affect comfort, chewing, and the long-term durability of restorations. Dr. Matarazzo considers bite alignment, tooth strength, gum appearance, and facial balance when planning treatment, helping patients achieve a smile that feels as good as it looks.
What treatments may be included in a smile makeover?
A smile makeover may involve porcelain veneers, crowns, whitening, bonding, gum contouring, replacement of older restorations, or other cosmetic and restorative options. The exact combination depends on what you want to change and what your teeth need to remain healthy and stable. Some patients need only a few enhancements, while others benefit from a more complete transformation. The plan is personalized after a consultation.
Am I a good candidate for a smile makeover in Quincy, MA?
You may be a good candidate if you feel self-conscious about your smile and want a customized plan rather than a single isolated treatment. Good candidates generally have treatable cosmetic concerns and are willing to address any oral health issues first. Gum disease, active decay, or unstable teeth may need attention before cosmetic work begins. A consultation helps determine the safest and most predictable approach.
Will my smile makeover look too white or artificial?
A well-planned smile makeover should not look fake, oversized, or overly bright unless that is the specific look you request. Natural-looking results depend on details such as tooth shape, translucency, texture, spacing, and how the smile fits your face. Dr. Matarazzo works with patients to choose a result that matches their preferences, whether they want a subtle refresh or a dramatic cosmetic change.
How long do smile makeover results last?
Longevity depends on the treatments used, the materials selected, and how well you care for your teeth. Porcelain restorations can last many years with good oral hygiene and routine dental visits, while whitening and bonding may need periodic touch-ups. Habits like clenching, grinding, nail biting, chewing ice, or smoking can shorten the life of cosmetic work. Nightguards may be recommended for lasting comfort, strength, appearance, and everyday smile confidence over time.
Is a smile makeover painful?
Most smile makeover treatments are designed to be comfortable. The level of sensitivity depends on the procedures included in your plan. Whitening may cause temporary tooth sensitivity, while veneers or crowns may require numbing during tooth preparation. Dr. Matarazzo can discuss comfort options before treatment begins, so you know what to expect. Many patients are surprised by how manageable the process feels.
How much does a smile makeover cost?
The cost of a smile makeover varies because every plan is different. A minor makeover, such as whitening or bonding, will cost less than a comprehensive case with multiple porcelain restorations. Pricing depends on the number of teeth treated, the materials used, and whether any dental care related to health is needed first. The best way to receive an accurate estimate is to schedule a consultation in Quincy.
