I want to know more about changing my smile. What do you suggest?

It all depends on your unique needs and desires. We offer all sorts of treatments to enhance your smile including veneers, implants, and whitening, but we can’t formulate a treatment plan until we have a chance to assess your particular case. If you call us to schedule a cosmetic consultation, we can get right to work on developing a smile makeover plan designed just for you.

What is a smile analysis?

Before we can develop your customized cosmetic treatment plan, we need to understand every factor affecting your appearance. During your smile analysis, we evaluate photographs and take measurements of your face, teeth, and gums. In short, we scrutinize everything that makes your case unique. Only when your smile analysis is complete will we recommend specific treatments capable of bringing you the results you want.

I want straighter teeth, but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend?

There is a good chance that we can straighten your teeth with Invisalign custom-molded mouthpieces. Unlike standard braces, with their metal wires, brackets, and bands, Invisalign acrylic aligners are clear and inconspicuous. With Invisalign, even your best friends and relatives may not realize that you’re receiving orthodontic therapy. You can have a beautiful new smile in as little as nine months.

My smile is missing teeth. What are my options for replacement teeth?

We can suggest a variety of options depending on your unique case. If you’ve lost most or all of your teeth, full dentures could be the answer. If you’re missing just one or a few teeth, you might consider a fixed partial denture (also known as a bridge) or a removable partial denture. If you have healthy gums and jawbone ridges that are in good shape, you may be a candidate for dental implants. Implants fuse directly to the jawbone and provide a stable base for replacement teeth. Dr. Cline works closely with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and will oversee your entire implant program.

Do veneers look natural?

The translucent porcelain that Dr. Cline uses to craft his ultra-thin veneers blends in naturally with your surrounding teeth. With veneers, you can enhance your smile quickly and easily without anyone knowing.
