Whether you’re considering cosmetic dentistry treatments like veneers, clear orthodontic aligners, or dental implants in Castle Rock, our team encourages you to take the first step on your journey. At an in-person or virtual consultation, we can help you determine whether a procedure is right for you, analyzing your budget, timeline, and smile to help you make the best decision for your grin.
Step 1 – Take 3 Photos of Your Mouth
Dr. Fitzgerald and her experienced team begins each smile consultation by taking a series of three photos of your mouth, allowing us to get a better look at your teeth and gums from every angle. Or, if you opt for a virtual consultation, you can do this yourself in a well-lit room. Just be sure to make sure the pictures come out clear and in-focus, and don’t forget to brush your teeth beforehand.
Front of Mouth
Posing similarly to how you would take a photo with your friends, this picture angle will allow us to view your smile up-close and from the front. We ask that your smile is centered and that we’re able to see both the upper and lower rows of your front teeth, known as your smile zone.
Open Mouth Up
By opening your mouth and tilting your head slightly upward, we’ll be able to see the upper arch of your teeth.
Open Mouth Down
You’ll open your mouth similarly to the last photo you took, but just tilt your head downward, allowing us to see behind your bottom row of teeth.
Step 2 – Describe Your Dental Concerns
Next, you’ll have an opportunity to let us know what aspects of your smile you would like to alter or change. Do you have a damaged front tooth that makes you feel embarrassed to smile? Are you missing a tooth and want to have it replaced? Let us know all of these details, as well as any goals you have for the process, like if you want to keep it within a certain budget. Based on this portion of the consultation, we can create a custom-tailored treatment plan to meet your needs.
Step 3 – Email Dr. Fitzgerald
After you have taken all three of the requested photos, making sure they’re clear an in-focus, as well as written a short description of your dental concerns, you can email our office at frontdesk@sweetsmilescastlerock.com. Within about a week, Dr. Fitzgerald will evaluate your images and the personal response that you included. She’ll create a customized treatment plan based on your concerns, allowing you to feel more confident and comfortable coming in for an in-person examination to finalize your plan moving forward.
Not only is our virtual smile consultation simple and easy, but it can also give you the nudge you need to make positive changes to your dental health and happiness!
