Overview of a smile design consultation

You can have an exam and discuss consultation where Dr. Joseph or Dr. Schell look at your mouth and then recommend different options for you. A more in depth consultation uses scans, x-rays, impressions, and pictures of your entire mouth. A study model of your mouth is made by a lab for the doctor to customize a complete makeover plan. The study model helps determine what types of restorations are possible with your teeth and jaw alignment. At your next appointment, you come in for a consultation, so the doctor can explain the entire plan to make over your smile and answer all the questions you have.

Am I a good candidate for a smile design consultation

If you have several front teeth that need restoration, severe wearing away of your teeth, or several missing teeth, you are a good candidate for a smile design consult. Read about the full smile makeover process to see what comes after your consultation.

What does a smile design consultation cost

There are two options. First, we offer a free smile design consult where the doctor looks at your teeth and explains your options. No x-rays or scans are done during this appointment. We also do a smile design workup which includes scans, x-rays, and study models and costs $750. This is where the doctor does a very thorough look at how your jaw and teeth align to present the restorations that will give you the most longevity and your aesthetic goals.

Is a smile design consultation worth the cost

A free consultation is worth it to gather all the information so you can make an informed decision. If you are ready to invest in your dental care and restore the health of your teeth and mouth, then the cost is worth it.

Why is a smile design workup so expensive

The cost includes the x-rays, scans, and study models. The doctor also examines these things for several weeks and consults other specialists if needed to come up with a plan. He not only considers the short-term aspects, but also how everything will work for the lifetime of your smile.
