A Smile Tryout is a service we provide for our patients that are seeking veneers, it’s a great way for you to see your smile transformation and decide if veneers are the right option for you.
It is complimentary and performed during or following your consultation visit, so there is no guess work, and with the Smile Tryout you get to see your new smile, and best of all you can go home with it for one day to show your family and friends if you choose to do so.
Think of it as a test-run, with temporary veneers it gives you the opportunity to show your friends and family and the visual comfortability to critique the size, shape, and color until it is exactly right, thus eliminating any guess work.
The Smile Try Out process takes less than an hour and is completely painless and causes no damage to your natural teeth. Once we scan your smile we will design your new smile, then we will gently lay a mockup version of your new smile over top of your natural teeth. The mockup version, also known as “temporaries,” are a thin layer of tooth colored material made of a plastic composite that mimics the appearance of natural teeth. We then take an impression with your personal modifications and start the process of making your porcelain veneers, designed specifically for you.
Smile Tryout is a perfect solution for your smile makeover, you explore many different options, different looks so you are never surprised.
The picture below is an example of a Smile Tryout with the instant transformation of a smile within 30 minutes.
Color Selection
When evaluating the color of your teeth, we examine how closely matched your upper and lower teeth appear. Your teeth should complement your hair, skin, and eye color.
The shade of your Porcelain Veneers varies from BL1 which is considered the super white and BL4 which is four shades darker.
Choosing the right shade will depend on your preference, so we go through the process of showing you all the shades available until you are happy with our shade recommendation.
The Tryout VISIT
Think of it as a rehearsal visit, we place the temporary veneers that we created from your Smile Tryout visit after minimal reshaping of your natural teeth.
Any changes needed will be done at this time, or on subsequent visits before final crafting of your permanent veneers as deemed necessary. You will get to go home with those temporary veneers and test drive them for 7-10 days, during this period of 7-10 days you may request further changes or enhancements of your new smile, which we will be happy to do, after all our goal is give you a beautiful smile that you will love.
