Your Smile Makeover, Step by Step

  1. Consultation

    Tell us what you would like to change. We check your teeth, gums and bite, and take photos and scans.

  2. Smile Design

  3. Preparation

    Any groundwork comes first, like gum care, aligners or implants. Then your teeth are prepared.

  4. Trial Smile

    Try your new smile with temporaries. Nothing is final until you approve it.

  5. Final Smile

    Your finished restorations are placed and your bite is fine-tuned.

  6. Aftercare
