Whitening is often the first step — or the finishing touch. I use professional-strength whitening agents to brighten your teeth by several shades in about an hour, or I can set you up with custom take-home trays for gradual results. Either way, the difference is immediate and dramatic compared to anything you'd buy at a drugstore. When whitening is part of a larger makeover, I time it carefully so the shade matches your veneers or other restorations perfectly.
Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They correct chips, gaps, discoloration, and minor alignment issues all at once. I design each veneer individually so it matches the shape, shade, and translucency of a natural tooth. For patients who want a complete aesthetic transformation, veneers are often the foundation of the entire makeover.
Alignment matters — not just for appearance, but for function and long-term health. If your teeth are crowded, spaced, or shifted, I may recommend Invisalign clear aligners as part of your makeover plan. Straightening your teeth first gives veneers, whitening, and other cosmetic work a better foundation and a more predictable result. Many adults are surprised to learn that clear aligners can be completed in months, not years — and that the investment pays off in a more stable, longer-lasting final result.
Missing teeth change everything — your bite, your bone structure, your confidence. Dental implants replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking restorations that function like real teeth. When implants are part of your makeover, I plan their placement using 3D imaging to work with the overall design so your final smile looks seamless from end to end. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, implants preserve your jawbone and don't require altering healthy adjacent teeth.
A full smile makeover in Gilbert doesn’t happen in a single appointment, and it shouldn’t. Rushing cosmetic work leads to results that don’t last or don’t look right. Here’s how I approach every smile makeover at Arizona Smiles—carefully, deliberately, and with your input at every stage.
Everything starts with a thorough evaluation. I examine your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite—not just the areas you want to improve. I take digital X-rays and 3D scans so I can see the full picture, including what’s happening beneath the surface. We sit down together and talk through your goals. There’s no rush, no pressure, and no commitment required at the first visit.
Once I understand your goals, I build a personalized treatment plan that maps out every procedure, the order they’ll be done, and the timeline from start to finish. Using digital smile design technology, I show you a preview of your projected result before we begin. This isn’t a generic simulation—it’s based on your actual anatomy. You approve the plan before any work starts. No surprises.
At Arizona Smiles, I handle your cosmetic dentistry, restorations, same-day crowns with CEREC, implants, and orthodontics all in one office. I oversee every phase so each step builds on the last. Whitening before veneers, alignment before implants, gumline reshaping before crowns—it all stays coordinated under one roof.
When the last restoration is placed and everything is polished, seated, and adjusted, you’ll see your completed smile for the first time. I check your bite, verify your comfort, and ensure every detail meets the standard we set during planning. Then I build a maintenance plan—cleanings, nightguards if needed, and periodic evaluations—to protect your results for years to come. See real results in our Smile Gallery.
