New Patient Special
Dentistry Where Science and Artistry Meet
Results Designed for Your Face, Not a Formula
Every smile design case at O Dental begins with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and facial proportions. The shape, size, shade, and symmetry of your smile are all considered in relation to your face as a whole. The goal is a result that looks as though it has always been yours.
Clinical Excellence and Aesthetic Sensibility, Together
Cosmetic results that look beautiful long term require a strong clinical foundation. Dr. Olivero evaluates the health of your teeth, gums, and bite before any aesthetic treatment begins, ensuring that your restorations are supported by a healthy, stable oral environment. Aesthetics and oral health are never treated as separate priorities at O Dental.
A Treatment Plan Built Around Your Goals
Smile design is not a single procedure. It is a coordinated treatment plan that may incorporate multiple services to achieve your desired outcome. Dr. Olivero presents every option clearly, explains the clinical rationale for each recommendation, and builds a plan that aligns with your goals, your timeline, and your budget.
Flexible Financing Options
Veneers
Porcelain and composite veneers are among the most versatile tools in cosmetic dentistry, addressing concerns including:
- Discoloration that does not respond to whitening
- Chips, cracks, or worn edges
- Gaps between teeth
- Minor size and shape irregularities
Dr. Olivero designs each veneer to complement your natural features, selecting material, shading, and proportions with precision. The result is a restoration that enhances your smile with subtlety and intention.
Teeth Whitening
Professional in-house whitening at O Dental delivers controlled, consistent results calibrated to your enamel and your aesthetic goals. The treatment is monitored throughout to ensure even coverage and a natural-looking outcome.
For patients incorporating whitening into a broader smile design plan, Dr. Olivero sequences treatment to ensure that the final shade of your natural teeth is established before any restorations are fabricated, producing a seamless, cohesive result.
Smile Design and Full Mouth Reconstruction
For patients with more complex aesthetic or restorative needs, Dr. Olivero develops a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses every element of the smile systematically. This may include a combination of:
- Veneers or crowns for shape, size, and color correction
- Dental implants to replace missing teeth before restorations are placed
- Professional whitening for natural tooth surfaces
- Periodontal treatment to establish a healthy gum framework
- Occlusal correction to optimize bite function and stability across the full restoration
Every element of the plan is coordinated by Dr. Olivero, ensuring that clinical outcomes and aesthetic results work together from the first appointment to the last.
What to Expect When You Choose Smile Design
Initial consultation and smile evaluation
Your first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and facial proportions. Dr. Olivero uses intraoral photography and digital imaging to document your current smile and discuss the changes you are hoping to achieve. Every option is explained with full clinical context before any decisions are made.
Treatment planning
Dr. Olivero develops a detailed treatment plan that outlines each recommended service, the sequence of treatment, and the anticipated timeline. If multiple procedures are involved, the order of treatment is planned to optimize both clinical and aesthetic outcomes.
Preparatory treatment, if indicated
If underlying health concerns such as gum disease or bite irregularities need to be addressed before cosmetic treatment begins, that work is completed first. Dr. Olivero explains the rationale for any preparatory steps at your consultation.
Whitening, if included
For patients incorporating whitening into their plan, this is typically completed before any restorations are fabricated so that the final shade of the natural teeth can be matched precisely.
Veneer or restoration preparation
Tooth preparation for veneers or crowns is completed under local anesthesia. Digital impressions are taken for accuracy and comfort. Temporary restorations are placed to protect the prepared teeth and maintain aesthetics while your final restorations are fabricated.
Delivery and evaluation
Your final restorations are placed and evaluated carefully for fit, shade, bite, and aesthetics. Dr. Olivero makes any necessary adjustments before your appointment concludes to ensure that every element meets the O Dental standard.
Follow-up care
A follow-up appointment is scheduled to confirm comfort, assess the gum response to the new restorations, and address any questions. Dr. Olivero monitors your smile design results at every subsequent recall visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does O Dental offer financing for smile design?
Yes. O Dental offers flexible financing through CareCredit and Cherry. Our treatment coordinator reviews all financial options with you privately before treatment begins so you can move forward with a complete understanding of your investment.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns for smile design?
Veneers cover only the front surface of a tooth and require minimal preparation of the natural tooth structure. Crowns encase the entire tooth and are recommended when a tooth is structurally compromised or requires more significant correction. Dr. Olivero recommends the most conservative option that will achieve the desired clinical and aesthetic result.
Can smile design be completed if I have existing dental problems?
Existing conditions such as gum disease, decay, or bite irregularities are addressed before cosmetic treatment begins. Dr. Olivero evaluates your oral health comprehensively at your consultation and incorporates any necessary preparatory treatment into your plan. This ensures that your cosmetic restorations are supported by a stable, healthy foundation.
How do I maintain my smile design results?
Maintaining your results requires consistent daily oral hygiene, regular professional cleanings and exams at O Dental, and following any specific care recommendations Dr. Olivero provides for your particular restorations. Patients with porcelain veneers are advised to avoid habits that place excessive force on the restorations, such as grinding or biting hard objects.
Is smile design only for cosmetic concerns?
Smile design at O Dental addresses both aesthetic and functional goals. Many patients benefit from corrections to bite alignment, gum health, or existing restorations as part of their overall treatment plan. Dr. Olivero evaluates all of these factors together to ensure that your final result is as clinically sound as it is aesthetically refined.
Does smile design require multiple appointments?
In most cases, yes. A comprehensive smile design plan is completed over multiple appointments, the number of which depends on the treatments involved and the complexity of your case. Dr. Olivero outlines the full appointment sequence and timeline at your consultation so you have a clear picture of the process from the start.
Will my results look natural?
Every aesthetic decision at O Dental is made with your facial features, skin tone, and natural proportions in mind. Dr. Olivero selects shading, shape, and size with precision and intention. The goal is a result that enhances your smile without drawing attention to the work itself.
Are the results permanent?
The longevity of your results depends on the treatments involved and how well the restorations are maintained. Porcelain veneers typically last ten to fifteen years or longer with proper care. Professional whitening results are sustained with periodic maintenance treatments. Dr. Olivero discusses the expected longevity of each element of your treatment plan at your consultation.
How do I know which treatments I need?
Dr. Olivero evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and facial structure at your consultation and recommends the combination of treatments that will produce the most clinically sound and aesthetically cohesive result. Every recommendation is explained clearly before any decisions are made.
