Whether You Want a Better Smile or Need a New One

Most patients who come to us fall into one of two groups. Both start the same way: photographs, scans, and a design you can see before treatment begins.

How Digital Smile Design Works

We Don't Guess. We Design.

The biggest worry with cosmetic work is ending up with teeth that look fake or don't suit your face. This process is built to take that risk off the table.

Before You Book

Common Questions

What does a smile makeover or full-mouth case cost?
It depends on how many teeth are involved and what each one needs, so we don't quote over the phone. At your consultation, Dr. Forbes reviews your options with you, and you'll know the anticipated costs before any treatment begins. Larger cases can be planned in phases to fit your budget and timeline.
Will my veneers look fake?
That's exactly what Digital Smile Design is for. The shape, length, and color of your teeth are designed around your face and lips, and you see and approve the design before we prepare a single tooth.
How long does treatment take?
It depends on the case. Cosmetic cases generally move faster than full-mouth or full-arch work, which includes healing time. As one example, the All-on-4 case on this page took six months from start to finish. You'll get a realistic timeline at your consultation.
I have missing or failing teeth. Are implants or All-on-4 right for me?
That depends on your bone, gum health, and medical history. Dr. Forbes evaluates all three at your first visit and walks you through every option, including ones that don't involve implants.
Do you take insurance?
We'll verify your insurance benefits before treatment so you know your costs upfront. If you don't have insurance, ask about our in-office membership plan.
