Cosmetic Dentistry Services in Rancho Bernardo

At Plaza Dentistry, we believe that every smile tells a story—and your smile makeover journey should reflect your individual needs, goals, and personality. Our detailed and personalized process ensures that you get results that not only look amazing but also feel completely natural and functional. Here’s a closer look at how we bring your dream smile to life:

Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation

Your transformation begins with a relaxed, in-depth consultation with Dr. Michael Payor. During this appointment, we take the time to get to know you, not just your dental health history, but your lifestyle, your aesthetic preferences, and your ultimate vision for your smile. You’ll have the opportunity to share your concerns, whether it’s discoloration, chipped teeth, spacing, misalignment, or an uneven gum line.

We’ll also perform a thorough examination of your oral health, including:

• Digital photographs of your smile
• 3D digital scans or impressions (no messy trays!)
• X-rays and bite analysis
• Discussion of facial symmetry and tooth proportions

This comprehensive evaluation ensures we’re building your smile on a strong, healthy foundation.

Step 2: Personalized Treatment Planning

Once we understand your goals and have reviewed your diagnostic data, we’ll create a fully customized treatment plan that maps out each stage of your smile makeover. This plan is unique to you.

We’ll walk you through each step, explaining the procedures, anticipated results, recovery time, and costs involved. Our goal is to make sure you feel fully informed and confident moving forward.

You’ll even get to preview your future smile with digital smile design software or mock-up models, so you can visualize your results before treatment begins.

Step 3: Treatment Begins

With your approval, we begin your transformation. We schedule treatments strategically for comfort, convenience, and efficiency. Some patients may complete their makeover in just a few weeks, while others may choose a phased approach over several months.

We prioritize:

• Minimally invasive techniques: Preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible.
• Comfort and relaxation: Local anesthesia, gentle techniques, and sedation options are available.
• Artistic precision: Every restoration is crafted for ideal color, shape, and proportion.

Step 4: Final Refinements and Smile Reveal

Once your treatment plan is complete, we’ll evaluate the final outcome to ensure everything looks and feels just right. Small refinements may be made to achieve perfect harmony in your smile, such as minor shape adjustments, bite balancing, or polishing.

Then comes the best part—your smile reveal! Many of our patients say this moment is life-changing. You’ll leave with a radiant, confident smile that reflects the very best version of you.

Step 5: Ongoing Care and Maintenance

A beautiful smile is an investment worth protecting. After your smile makeover, we’ll provide you with personalized guidance for maintaining your results, including:

• Oral hygiene tips and product recommendations
• Customized nightguards (if needed) to protect against clenching or grinding
• Retainers for Invisalign patients
• Routine cleanings and checkups to monitor your oral health

We’ll continue to be your partners in keeping your smile healthy, strong, and stunning for years to come.
