“Smile makeover” can sound like a big, vague commitment, and for a lot of patients, that uncertainty is what keeps them from ever booking the first appointment. So here’s exactly what happens when you come in for a consultation with Dr. Gena, from the moment you walk through the door.
It Starts With a Conversation, Not a Chart
Before any imaging or exam, we talk. What don’t you like about your smile? What are you hoping changes is it color, shape, spacing, a chipped tooth, gum line, or all of the above? This isn’t a formality; it shapes every recommendation that follows. A makeover built around what you actually want looks very different from a generic “full smile” package.
Photos and a Full Picture of Your Smile
Next, we take detailed photos and, when relevant, digital imaging of your teeth and bite. This lets Dr. Gena assess not just the cosmetic concerns you mentioned, but also the underlying health of your teeth and gums because a smile makeover that ignores a cavity or gum issue underneath isn’t a real solution.
Reviewing Your Options, Honestly
Depending on your goals, this might mean veneers, professional whitening, Invisalign, bonding, or some combination. Dr. Gena will walk through what’s realistic for your specific teeth, including options you may not have considered, and honest input if something you’re picturing (say, from a photo you saved) isn’t the right fit for your bite or enamel.
Seeing a Preview of the Result
For many veneer and makeover cases, we can show you a preview of the proposed outcome before any permanent work happens. This is one of the most reassuring parts of the process for patients you’re not committing blind.
Talking Timeline and Investment
Once you’ve landed on a plan, we lay out the full timeline (some makeovers are one visit, others are staged over several) and the full cost, along with financing options like Sunbit or CareCredit if you want to spread out payments. Nothing moves forward until you’re comfortable with both.
Why the Setting Matters
We built Aspiring Smiles as a dental spa on purpose. A smile makeover consultation is a personal conversation about how you feel about your smile, and we wanted a space that felt calm and unhurried for that, not clinical and rushed.
Ready to See What’s Possible?
If you’ve been putting off asking, “What would it take to fix my smile?” a consultation is a low-pressure way to finally get a real answer. Book your smile makeover consultation and see your options for yourself.
