Can I see my new smile before treatment?
Yes. A trial smile, as a wax-up or a digital simulation, lets you preview and give feedback first.
How long does it take?
It depends on the treatments in your plan. Whitening is quick; orthodontics can take months.
What does it cost?
Cost depends on the procedures involved. Your dentist will explain options at the consultation.
