I Want a Smile Makeover - What Do I Need To Know?

What kind of smile do you want? 

People know there are specific things about their smile with which they're not happy: too dark, too short, too small....but how do you want your NEW smile to look? Do you want a Hollywood-style smile, or a very natural-looking smile that people will notice, but never realize you've had anything done? Please bring one or more photos of your “dream smile” to your Smile Consultation; perhaps from when you were younger, perhaps from a magazine of your favorite celebrity. This will guide us in designing YOUR new smile.

How many teeth should be treated?

How big do you smile, and how dramatic a change do you want? Do you just show the top front teeth, all the top teeth, or maybe top and bottom teeth? Do you want your teeth a little changed, or a lot? Look in the mirror from the sides to imagine what other people see when not standing directly in front of you. The more teeth that show, and the more dramatic a change you want, the more teeth may need to be included in your smile makeover.

Do you have a specific deadline to meet?

If you are planning on enhancing your smile for a particular occasion such as a pageant, wedding, reunion, etc., plan ahead !! Ideally you want to be finished at least a few weeks prior to the event.

Consider your treatment options, cost, and time needed. Porcelain veneers are fast, beautiful, and a real investment; Six-Month Braces usually only takes 5-6 months and also creates a beautiful smile, and for a much smaller investment. Please call today to schedule a Complimentary Smile or

Whitening Your Teeth

This is a simple, safe, and effective way to enhance your smile. It does not harm the teeth or gums. It simply removes all the stains from your teeth so that they are as white as they naturally are. We offer THREE METHODS to whiten your teeth, depending on how white you want your teeth, how discolored they are now, and how quickly you want the results.

A few items to consider before bleaching:

• Dental work (fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers) and cement left from braces will not get whiter.

• The bleach will not whiten through plaque and tarter, so it's essential that you have a thorough cleaning first

• How long the effects last depends on your diet and home care. The four main staining foods are soft drinks, coffee, tea, and smoking. Some patients drink a pot of coffee a day and touch up every 6-8 months, while others without these habits touch up once every couple of years.

At-Home, Custom-Tray Bleaching: Highly accurate impressions, or molds, are taken of your teeth, from which we fabricate tightly-fitting whitening trays. Most people find it convenient to put their trays in and whiten their teeth overnight. You'll see results within several days up to several weeks.

DEEP BLEACHING: For those of you who've been told you can't whiten because of tetracycline stains or perhaps from a fever when you were a child, or perhaps you have tried the others and your teeth still aren't quite white enough, we now offer this newest method! DEEP BLEACHING is a combination technique that is virtually guaranteed to achieve Hollywood white teeth for you!!! Absolutely stunning results in only a couple visits, every time.
