A great smile starts with your whole face, not just your teeth. Before prepping your smile, we like to look at the big picture. We want you to feel confident in your new smile, so we go the extra mile for your smile makeover in High Point, NC.

The Big Picture: Balancing Your Features from Every Angle

Before we make any suggestions to help correct your smile, we look at every angle of your face, including your eyes, lips, and natural face lines. We want everything to look symmetrical and as natural as possible when you smile and laugh.

​With our cosmetic dentist in High Point, NC, we use the latest tools and technology to make your smile more you. For dentures, we offer complete dentures or partial dentures, and use a resin handcrafted to match each tooth, gum color, tooth color, and facial harmony. For veneers or invisible braces, the first step is taking impressions of your mouth, jaw, and face. This helps us place you on the right track with invisible braces, so your aligned teeth fit your face, or create handcrafted veneers that are a perfect match.

Behind the Scenes: How We Protect Your Teeth

We want to give you your perfect teeth, but we also want you to know that sometimes perfect can look fake. We don't want you to leave our office, look in the mirror, and not recognize yourself. That's why we take every precaution to make sure your new teeth fit you best.

​Because your new smile is custom-planned to fit your facial harmony, we only need micro-adjustments to keep your teeth looking the most natural. We understand that hearing the words “shaved down teeth” can make you fear “baby” teeth or teeth that don't match your natural ones. We are here to calm your nerves and let you know this keeps that natural look and only benefits you. We make symmetry corrections so each tooth aligns, help with bite realignment so your teeth don't hit each other too hard and chip or crack your new smile, and relieve crowding by shaving down microscopic amounts off each tooth to make room for your new teeth.

We Care About Your New Smile

We take pride in helping your new smile fit your face, and we don't want you to leave our chair feeling different. We want you to feel more confident. Come into our office in High Point, NC, for your next consultation.
