An Enhanced Appearance

It can be easy to forget the essential role your smile plays in your overall look. Dr. Wilderman will measure the proportions of your face in order to recommend small changes that could make a tremendous difference in your appearance. In some cases, a single veneer combined with teeth whitening can suddenly give your smile a look of attractive health and symmetry. Our digital software can give you a realistic preview of your results.

Elevated Confidence

Better Health

Even if your smile makeover is only cosmetic, it unleashes an impetus to smile more often, which has its own health benefits. Studies show that the mere act of smiling spurs serotonin and dopamine in the brain, which can reduce stress and depression. In fact, this reaction has also been shown to boost your immune system. To put it simply, your smile matters.

How long is my makeover going to take?

That depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to undergo teeth whitening and have a little bonding work done to conceal a chip in a tooth, we can probably take care of it all in a single appointment. However, if you want porcelain veneers or other solutions that are going to require work by our partner dental lab, your treatment will take longer.

I have some serious oral health issues, but I want cosmetic upgrades too. Can you help me?

Yes! Dr. Wilderman is a physician and an artist who is adept at improving both the health and the appearance of your smile. Do you need to replace a tooth with a dental implant-supported restoration before cosmetic work begins? We have you covered! In fact, we also provide full mouth reconstruction, which is the restorative dentistry version of cosmetic dentistry's smile makeover. So whether you're in perfect dental health or suffering with a severely compromised smile, we are ready to meet your every need.

Is any of this going to hurt?

Cosmetic treatments tend not to be as invasive as restorative treatments aimed at restoring oral health and function to your mouth. Plus, we take every possible measure to minimize any discomfort during treatment. Local anesthesia and gentle techniques make the treatments at our practice virtually painless. Even if you need a treatment requiring minor surgery, such as dental implants, you can expect maximum comfort at every treatment stage.

What can I expect during recovery?

Your recovery experience will depend mainly on the specific treatments you include in your smile makeover, but in general, you can expect little to no downtime. You may experience negligible temporary dental sensitivity after treatments such as porcelain veneers, and gum contouring is often followed by several days of tenderness and needing to avoid certain foods that could irritate the treatment area. But unless you are undergoing general or restorative treatment that requires minor surgery or extraction, you probably won't have to put anything in your personal or professional life on hold while you recover.
