Troubled smiles are transformed here.

Five treatments, one plan. Veneers, crowns, bridges, whitening and inlays are the tools; which of them you need is the question the evaluation answers.

The Problem

Six things, and the order they get fixed in.

Most people arrive naming one of these. Almost nobody arrives with only one of them, which is why the sequence matters more than the treatment list.

  • Discolored teeth
  • Chipped teeth
  • Gapped teeth
  • Disproportionate teeth
  • An uneven gumline
  • An asymmetrical smile

Whitening before veneers, because porcelain is matched to the shade your natural teeth end at. Gumline before either, because the frame decides how long a tooth looks. Get that order wrong and the work has to be redone.

The Treatments

Five tools. You will not be sold all of them.

A prosthodontist's job is to know which one the case actually needs, including when the answer is the cheapest one on the list.

01

Porcelain veneers

Thin shells covering only the front of the teeth that show when you smile. A small amount of enamel is removed so they sit flush, restoring size, shape and alignment. Minimal maintenance, maximum longevity.

Veneers in full
02

Dental crowns

Porcelain or ceramic caps that conceal cosmetic and functional damage. Durable and crack-resistant, which makes them right for molars and for front teeth that are cracked, broken or misshapen. Fifteen years or more when cared for properly.

Crowns & bridges
03

Dental bridges

A fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth: two or more custom crowns fused together. They restore function and appearance, and stop the remaining teeth drifting out of place and altering your bite.

04

Teeth whitening

From a one-hour in-office session to take-home trays with professional-grade gel. Monitored, so the result is a shade that reads as natural rather than as bleach.

Whitening in full
05

Inlays & onlays

Sometimes a tooth needs a small adjustment rather than a full crown. An inlay replaces an inside portion of the tooth; an onlay restores one or more cusps, returning strength and structure without covering the whole thing.

06

And knowing when to stop

A bad bite is a functional problem, not a cosmetic one. If that is what is actually wrong, you will be told so at the evaluation instead of having porcelain fitted over the top of it.

The Evaluation

Four things, before you commit to anything.

The smile evaluation is the whole of the sales process here, and it is designed to send you away able to decide rather than able to be closed.

  • Whether you are a good candidate, plainly
  • A free Digital Smile Design showing what you would look like afterwards
  • Pricing and the options at each price
  • Time with Dr. Nahlah himself, not a treatment coordinator

If the preview is not what you wanted, that is a useful answer and it costs nothing.

It is time to upgrade your smile.

Book the evaluation and see the result before you agree to it. The Digital Smile Design preview is free.
