The Whole Smile, Planned in St. Petersburg, Florida

Smile makeovers in
St. Petersburg, FL.
A smile makeover sequences whitening, bonding, veneers, and crowns into one written plan. Dr. Carlo Litano, DMD designs the result first, then builds toward it with metal-free materials and the in-house lab.
Why A Plan
One written smile makeover plan.
Piecemeal cosmetic work drifts: shades mismatch, materials mix, and the result reads assembled. A makeover starts from the finished smile and works backward, one written sequence, one material standard.
-
Sequenced on purpose
Order matters: whitening before shade-matching, foundations before surfaces.
- Whitening sets the shade target
- Structural work first
- Cosmetic surfaces last
- Written sequence and estimate
One material standard
Every piece of the makeover stays metal-free and biocompatible.
- Ceramic and zirconia only
- BPA-free bonding materials
- Testing available
- In-house lab finishing
Planned vs Piecemeal
Planned makeover vs piecemeal fixes.
The same procedures produce different smiles depending on whether they were sequenced or accumulated.

The Process
A makeover, step by step.
The sequence protects the result: records first, foundations second, surfaces last.
-
Records and design
Scans, photos, and CBCT imaging set the target smile and the written sequence.
-
Foundations
Structural needs come first: crowns, implants, or extractions where the plan calls for them.
-
Shade work
Whitening happens before final shade-matching, so ceramics match the brightest baseline.
-
Surfaces
Veneers and bonding finish the visible smile, checked against the original design.
