The Process

The smile makeover procedure takes 3 visits over 6-8 weeks from start to finish.

The 1st visit is the fast easy one. We'll take our records, including x-rays, pictures, impressions, and a full exam. If a dentist doesn't take this very important step, he/she is not serious about designing your smile correctly.

Rob uses this information to design your smile in wax, which we will use in the second visit.

This visit takes 1-1.5 hours.

The second visit is the longer, harder one. It is the visit with the numbing and drilling, but it's also very exciting because you get your temporaries at the end, and they look awesome! We use a computerized anesthetic delivery system, so the numbing isn't too bad at all. You pick out a few movies and smoothie. A majority of our guests will take Valium for this visit to help relax and make time fly.

You'll wear your temporaries for 3 weeks to test drive them, do you love both the color and shapes? We can make any changes to your temporaries, that way we can predictably create your veneers after this template.

This visit can take anywhere from 3-6 hours, we'll let you know specifically for your case.

The 3rd visit is when we try in and cement on your new veneers. You get to have a good look at your new smile before we permanently cement in your veneers. If you did well with Valium last visit, we recommend it for this visit, too.

This visit can take 2-4 hours, again depending on how many teeth and how complex.

We'll most likely see you back for a big photo shoot, which is a lot of fun, and you get to really enjoy your new smile.
