Smile Design
Dr. Kosdon integrates the information gathered during the consultation, exam, and smile analysis to develop your new smile design. Your 3D scans and images are processed using powerful state-of-the-art design software, which allows Dr. Kosdon to change the shade, size, shape, length, and alignment of teeth digitally to suit your desired outcome and achieve optimal aesthetics. You’ll get to digitally preview your new smile before giving Dr. Kosdon your approval.
Temporary Veneers
Your smile transformation begins with preparing your teeth and placing the temporary veneers and/or restorations designed by Dr. Kosdon. This “trial” smile allows you to try out your new smile for a few weeks and determine whether you’d like to make any adjustments before your permanent restorations are placed.
Veneer Refinement
Based on your trial smile experience, changes can be made to the design of your final veneers and/or restorations before they are crafted at the dental lab.
