See your result before anything is changed
A cosmetic plan with Dr. Bennett starts with understanding your smile as a whole, then shows you where it is going before any tooth is changed.
Exam. We look at your teeth, gums, bite and smile line, so the plan starts from healthy foundations.
Photos and facial analysis. We see how your smile sits with your lips, face and features, so changes suit you rather than a template.
iTero® 3D scan and preview. A digital scan of your teeth gives a preview of the planned result that you can see and refine before any irreversible step.
Starting with the gentlest option that reaches your goal
Dr. Bennett starts with the most conservative treatment that can reach your goal. Here are the options, from least to most involved.
- Teeth whiteningBrightens your natural teeth. When other cosmetic work is planned, whitening usually comes first so the new work can be matched to your whiter shade.
- Composite bondingTooth-colored resin repairs chips, small gaps and worn edges, usually in a single visit and with no lab work.
- Invisalign® clear alignersWhen teeth are crowded or spaced, moving them into place can be a more conservative path than reshaping them.
- Porcelain veneersThin porcelain shells for goals whitening or bonding alone cannot reach, made with a dental ceramist and planned to keep as much natural tooth as possible.
- Smile designA combined plan that brings tooth shape, color, gums and proportions together with your face.
- Gummy smile treatmentReshapes the gum line when more gum than tooth shows as you smile, often as part of a smile design plan.
Why we check your bite first
Veneers and bonding last longer on a stable, balanced bite. Before any cosmetic work, Dr. Bennett looks at how your teeth meet and how your jaw moves, so new surfaces are not carrying forces they were not designed for. If the bite needs attention first, we talk that through with you as part of the plan.
