What to Expect at

Your Smile Design Consult

We Listen to Your Story

Your consultation begins with a real conversation. We want to understand what’s been bothering you, what you’ve been putting up with or simply putting off, and what you want your smile to feel like. This is an unhurried, private time where your questions and concerns are genuinely heard.

We Explore Your Options Together

You will spend one-on-one time with our cosmetic dental assistant, and our treatment coordinator and Dr. Lerch. We call it co-discovery: mapping out what’s possible for your smile so you understand every choice in front of you, with no pressure and no surprises.
