It's about whether your smile actually fits your face, your personality, and looks natural when you talk, laugh, and live your life.
They focus on teeth, not the person those teeth belong to.
That’s why you’ve seen results that look:
They immediately look unnatural.
The problem isn’t veneers. It’s the design behind them.
Because when the design is right… everything looks natural without trying.
At Smile Design Dentistry, everything starts with facial harmony.
Before we ever touch your teeth, we analyze:
Because if your smile doesn’t match your face,
it will never look right.
You’re not getting a “template smile.” Every case is:
If you’re looking for the fastest or cheapest option, this isn’t it.
If you want:
You’re exactly where you should be.
You can always tell when veneers are bad.
They’re flat. They’re bulky.
They don’t move naturally with the face.
That’s because most offices treat veneers like a template.
We treat them like art.
We focus on:
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s believability.
A smile that looks effortless… not manufactured.
Not every smile needs to be completely redone.
Our philosophy:
Which means:
Because cosmetic dentistry shouldn’t come at the expense of your future.
Most patients are never told this:
Bad cosmetic dentistry isn’t about the material…
It’s about proportion and balance.
If teeth are:
They immediately look unnatural.
That’s why we obsess over:
Because when the design is right…
everything looks natural without trying.
Behind every smile is a story. Here are two patients who trusted us with theirs.
Brian came to us mid-way through orthodontic treatment, dealing with severe wear and a failing dentition. He had a clear vision: more tooth, less gum — and a smile that would feel as good as it looked.
Working closely with his orthodontist, we coordinated his tooth positions before beginning restorative care. The final result didn't just improve his appearance — it gave him back a fully functional, healthy bite.
His daughter's wedding was on the horizon. We made sure his smile was ready for it.
Jenny found us online after nearly 20 years with her original veneers — they had started chipping, popping off, and discoloring. She had one firm request: "brighter, but not Hollywood white."
She wanted her new smile to blend naturally with the rest of her teeth. We replaced the porcelain restorations on her upper front six teeth and extended back one more to fill out her smile seamlessly.
After treatment, she wrote a testimonial on her photo consent — unprompted. That says everything.
A well-trained eye can detect when something is off by just 1–2 degrees.
A well-trained eye can detect when something is off by just 1–2 degrees.
That’s called a midline cant.
You may not consciously notice it…
but your brain does.
It’s the same reason you can tell when a picture frame is slightly crooked.
Most offices don’t even check for this. We do.
Straight teeth ≠ great smile.
We use advanced digital planning to analyze:
Because even one small imbalance… throws everything off.
Most treatment plans fall apart here.
If orthodontics is done alone… you get straight teeth.
But not necessarily a better smile.
We often design space intentionally… so we can perfect proportions later.
That means:
This is the difference between moving teeth… and designing outcomes.
