TEST DRIVE YOUR FUTURE LOOK WITH TRIAL SMILES

Most of us wouldn’t think of buying a new car without a “test drive.” It’s a serious investment, so you want to make sure you’re comfortable with your new ride.

Like an auto purchase, the plan you and your dentist agree on to cosmetically enhance your teeth and gums — a “smile makeover” — is a significant investment. Wouldn’t it be nice to “test drive” your future smile before you undergo any procedures?

Actually, you can — two ways, in fact. For one, your dentist could use computer imaging software that alters a photo of your face to show how your smile will appear after dental work. These computer enhancements are a great planning tool for making decisions on the look you want to achieve.

But even the best computer images only provide a static, two-dimensional representation of your new smile. It can’t capture all the angles and movement dynamics of any proposed changes. That’s where the other way, a trial smile, is a true test drive — you can see your future smile in action.

Creating a trial smile is an added expense.

A trial smile allows you though to know beforehand what your dental work investment will provide you, and even fine-tune your makeover plan before work begins. With this particular kind of “test drive” you’ll have greater assurance that you’ll be happy and satisfied with the end results.

A Trial Smile is an opportunity to literally try on a new smile before you buy it. Typically, patients do not see the final results of a smile makeover until after completion, but this innovative smile preview can be used to allow patients to see the potential results before treatment actually begins. Patients who are going to invest time and money into cosmetic dentistry procedures to correct and conceal smile imperfections will definitely benefit from a Trial Smile approach.

Patients interested in making a change to their smile with porcelain veneers will first visit us for a cosmetic consultation. During this visit, we will take photos of their smile as well as impressions of their teeth. In about ten days, a patient can return to try on a mock-up of their proposed new smile. The trial smile will be over-layed on their teeth for a preview. We’ll take photos, which patients can share with family and friends before making a final decision. The largest benefit is that patients have the opportunity to make changes to the size, shape, color, and proportions of their new smile before the final planned procedures begin.

Why Should I Choose a Trial Smile?

Trial Smile allows a patient and a dentist to preview the future result without ever altering the existing teeth. Once the desired look is achieved, a patient has an option to move forward with the porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin sheaths of dental grade ceramics that fit over the fronts of patients’ teeth, concealing and correcting smile irregularities. This procedure is minimally invasive, but because a small amount of tooth enamel needs to be removed to prepare the teeth before placement, the procedure is not reversible.
