The philosophySymmetry · Proportion · Alignment

Every smile we create begins as a blueprint. Measured against your face, proportioned by the golden ratio, previewed in three dimensions, then handcrafted in porcelain so that people notice you, not your dentistry.

Treatments

Every smile begins with a blueprint.

Before any treatment, Dr. Dan studies the structure: the tooth, the bite, the face around it.

Six disciplines. One studio.

Dr. Dan designs smiles.

Every treatment is drawn from the same blueprint, and every one passes through you.

Before we begin

A little clarity.

What is Digital Smile Design?

A planning method that uses photographs and video of your face to design new teeth in proportion to your features. You see the proposed smile on screen before any treatment begins.

Can I preview a proposed smile?

Yes. After the digital design, a trial smile is placed over your own teeth so you can see it in the mirror, talk it through with Dr. Dan and adjust it before anything is permanent.

Will veneers look natural?

Natural results come from proportion, shade and translucency. Each veneer is shaped to your face and matched to your skin and eyes, with the subtle variation real teeth have.

Where does the process start?

With a consultation: a conversation about your goals, a clinical exam and the photographs that become your blueprint. Dr. Dan then outlines the plan and timeline that fit you.

How do I arrange a consultation?
