Unlocking Confidence: Your Guide to Full Smile Makeovers at Walden Dental
At Walden Dental, we provide many services as a complete solution for all your dentistry needs. However, few services are as rewarding as smile makeovers. Nothing feels better than seeing our patients from across the Austin, Texas, area smile and laugh again, confident in their appearance and themselves now that they are free of gaps and broken, aching teeth.
Why would I need a dental crown?
- This patient was worried about the disintegration of his enamel and fillings. He wanted a dentist to oversee his smile makeover from start to finish, cosmetic challenges, and surgical procedures while being considerate of his time and budget.
- I had to carry out a few extractions, followed by implant placements, healing bridges, and bite rehabilitation. This was crucial to safeguard the patient’s jaw joints, enable him to chew properly, and restore his confidence to smile and make sales presentations while healing.
- His transformation resulted in improved speech, crisp delivery, boosted confidence in his smile, and freedom from worrying about concealing his teeth in social situations. I am proud of his results.
Smile Makeover Story – Chris
- This was one of my most challenging and fulfilling cases where the patient required intensive, multidisciplinary dentistry, including root canals, extractions, bridges, implants, crowns, and veneers, within a short time – two days.
- I performed root canals, crowns, and bridges with extractions on the upper teeth on the first day and implants, extractions, root canals, and crowns on the lower teeth the next day.
- The patient’s dental journey inspired us all, showing that working towards a happier life is worth it. He showed remarkable resilience of the mind and body through dedicated commitment to rehabilitation and recovery. I am thankful for the chance to support him in his smile makeover.
Smile Makeover Story – Blair
- This patient suffered from teeth deterioration for over 15 years, with fractures, chips, breaks, and extensive black areas being a part of his diminishing smile. Previous experiences with dentists had discouraged him from seeking help. However, his boss had urged him to address the issue, realizing the impact his smile and oral health may have on his roofing and contracting career.
- This was when he approached me. I could manage with just one tooth extraction. His treatment plan also included cavity removal, gum contouring, implant placements in the lower jaw, and crowns, bridges, and veneers for both upper and lower teeth.
- He was pleased with his smile makeover results, and his career and confidence have got a boost. He now has more energy, less pain, enhanced chewing function, and a striking, powerful smile.
Smile Makeover Story – Sara
- Recurring bonding failures had besieged this patient, prompting the need for strength, refurbishment, and restoration of her enamel for a fresh, untouched look. She had decided to fix these problems by ensuring a balanced bite for her TMJs and preventing infections that could harm her teeth, gums, and jawbone.
- She had recently settled in Florida and was looking for a dentist who would consider her unique circumstances, including travel, location, schedule, and budget. This was how she found me.
- She entrusted me and my team with the task of creating a life-changing smile and optimal dental health. I implemented a comprehensive treatment plan, including full upper and lower veneers and crowns, to rejuvenate her smile for a fresh and natural appearance. It is a True American Beauty transformation, and I feel honored to contribute to her goals.
How can you “make over” my smile?
Your smile is unique, so no makeover will be quite like yours. Due to the more extensive nature of a “makeover,” treatments are generally designed to restore the structure and function of the teeth and other tissues and their appearance.
What are some examples of smile makeovers?
We are happy to showcase some very satisfied patients on our website. Additionally, a mix of cosmetic and restorative procedures may be incorporated. These include everything from cosmetic bonding and porcelain veneers to tooth-colored fillings, porcelain crowns and bridges, and dental implant-retained teeth.
How will you know what might be best for my smile?
The initial consultation is an essential starting point. During that visit, we will discuss your concerns. Our dentist, Dr. David Frank, will also look at your mouth and order digital x-rays and other imaging as needed (and to “see” what cannot be visualized with the unaided eye). Plus, while here, we encourage you to look at our “Smile Wall of Fame.” Hundreds of patients across the Austin, Texas, area have transformed their smiles and lives at our office. You can see firsthand some potential treatments discussed during your consultation in action. After all, we want you to make the most well-informed decision about your treatment.
How can I afford a full smile makeover?
You don’t have to do everything at once. We can space treatments out and get you on a schedule that works for you and your budget. We also strive to make exceptional cosmetic and restorative dentistry services affordable for all. For this reason, we offer many payment options and flexible financing through CareCredit®.
Why should I choose Walden Dental?
We feel that the results of our smile gallery online and our wall of fame “offline” speak for themselves. However, in addition to some of the distinctions mentioned above, we also ensure that you have a stellar experience with our team at every step in the process. For instance, many of our restorations can be made “same-day” while you wait, eliminating the need to schedule multiple appointments and the hassle and expense of traveling to and from the dentist’s office. So, when you call us at , be sure to ask about one-visit porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and dental bridges!
