Smile Design Dentist

Smile design is a comprehensive cosmetic planning process that addresses the shape, contour, proportion, and color of your teeth to create a smile that complements your facial features and reflects your personal goals. At Imagine Dentistry, Dr. Coambs uses advanced technology to give you a visual preview of what your new smile will look like before any treatment begins. The process is collaborative, meaning your input guides every decision so the final result feels as natural as it looks. Treatment may incorporate veneers, bonding, Bioclear, whitening, or a combination of procedures depending on your starting point and goals.

The cost of smile design varies widely because it is a customized treatment plan rather than a single procedure. The total depends on which treatments are included, how many teeth are involved, and the complexity of the work. Cosmetic procedures included in a smile makeover are generally not covered by dental insurance, though some functional components may be. We will develop a clear, itemized estimate during your consultation so you can plan your investment. Financing through CareCredit and our Love Your Smile membership plan are available to help make treatment accessible.

A smile makeover is highly individualized, but may include porcelain veneers, dental bonding, Bioclear restorations, professional teeth whitening, gum contouring, dental crowns, or orthodontic alignment with ClearCorrect or Invisalign. Dr. Coambs takes a thorough approach to smile design, evaluating not only the appearance of your teeth but also your bite, gum health, and how your teeth relate to your lip line and facial structure. The goal is a result that looks completely natural and functions well long-term.

Yes. One of the key parts of the smile design process at Imagine Dentistry is providing you with a visual representation of your anticipated results before any work is done. This preview gives you the opportunity to evaluate the proposed changes, ask questions, and make adjustments so the final plan truly reflects what you want. Dr. Coambs believes the best outcomes come from close collaboration with her patients, and this step is central to that process.

A gummy smile, where a significant portion of your gum tissue is visible when you smile, can result from several factors, including the way your upper lip moves, the size and shape of your teeth, or excess gum tissue covering the crowns of your teeth. In some cases, gum contouring can be used to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile by reshaping the gum line. Smile design consultations at Imagine Dentistry include a full evaluation of these factors so Dr. Coambs can recommend the most effective and minimally invasive approach.
