Smile Analysis

Smile Analysis – FAQs

1. What is a Smile Analysis?
A Smile Analysis is a focused cosmetic consultation to evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and facial features. We discuss your goals, review photos and measurements, and outline options like whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, or other corrections to create a personalized plan for a confident, natural-looking smile.

2. What happens during the appointment?
We take photos, evaluate tooth color, shape, size, and symmetry, and assess gum health and bite. You’ll share what you like and don’t like about your smile. Then Dr. Birk explains tailored treatment paths, timelines, and costs so you can choose the approach that fits your goals and budget.

3. What concerns can a Smile Analysis address?
Common goals include improving stained or dark teeth, reshaping worn or chipped edges, closing small gaps, correcting uneven sizes, and enhancing overall symmetry. We also consider gumline balance and bite harmony to ensure cosmetic improvements look great and function comfortably long term.

4. Will I see a preview of my results?
Whenever appropriate, we can use photos, shade guides, and mock-up techniques to help you visualize potential outcomes. For more involved cases, we may recommend a wax-up or provisional “test drive” to preview shape and length changes before moving forward with final treatment.

5. How much does a Smile Analysis cost? Is it covered by insurance?
Fees depend on the complexity of your case and whether diagnostic models or mock-ups are needed. Cosmetic procedures are typically not fully covered by insurance. We’ll review estimates in advance and discuss flexible options, including our Loyalty Club and financing, to keep care accessible.
