Overview
Your Smile,
Reimagined
Smile Design helps people who want a confident, natural-looking smile. At Smiles On Church in Birmingham, AL, our team of Dr. Kevin Alexander and Dr. Gordon Henry works with you to plan a careful, personalized smile makeover. We combine digital imaging and thoughtful treatment sequencing so results match your face, goals, and lifestyle. We call our approach Smile On! because we focus on lasting comfort and real-world function, not dramatic change for its own sake.
Smile Design Options
We offer a range of cosmetic and restorative steps that combine to form a Smile Design plan. You might need one service or several. Common components include porcelain veneers, tooth-colored fillings, crowns, whitening, and minor gum contouring. We use digital scanners like iTero and TRIOS plus 3D imaging to preview results. That preview helps you see realistic outcomes before treatment begins. Your plan will consider bite, tooth proportion, and how your smile moves when you talk and laugh.
What We Include in Your Plan
A good Smile Design balances aesthetics with health. At Smiles On Church, we include diagnostic steps, a mock-up or digital preview, and a step-by-step treatment schedule. Typical inclusions:
- A comprehensive exam with digital X-ray and CBCT when needed
- Digital 3D scans to create a preview and accurate restorations
- A written plan that outlines timing and follow-up care
We also factor in comfort and convenience. Patients can relax with blankets, watch TV during long visits, and enjoy water or sparkling water while they heal.
How the Process Works
We start with a consultation and thorough records. Next, we create a digital mock-up and discuss options. Once you approve a design, we coordinate treatments to limit extra visits and avoid unnecessary procedures. Typical steps:
- Initial exam and imaging
- Digital smile mock-up and adjustment
- Preparation, temporary restorations, and final placement
Our use of a 3D scanner and CBCT scanner improves accuracy. The iTero or TRIOS scans reduce the need for traditional impressions and speed up production. We sequence care to protect tooth structure and maintain function through each phase.
Benefits You Can Expect
A thoughtful smile makeover improves how your teeth look and function. Expect these benefits:
- Improved tooth proportion and symmetry
- Natural-looking restorations that match color and texture
- Better bite comfort and easier chewing
Beyond technical results, patients tell us they feel more confident at work and in social settings. We emphasize realistic outcomes that complement your face rather than overpower it.
Common Concerns We Address
People worry about pain, time, and whether results will look fake. We address each concern directly. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to manage discomfort. We plan treatments over weeks or months to fit your schedule. Our digital previews let you see likely results, so you don’t get surprises. Typical questions we answer:
- How long will recovery take?
- Which materials last longest for my needs?
- Will my new teeth need special care?
We provide clear aftercare instructions and schedule follow-ups to protect your investment.
Finances and technology matter when planning a smile. Smiles On Church accepts cash, checks, credit cards, debit cards, and Sunbit. We maintain a clean, modern office with the latest digital tools so your restorations fit precisely. Our team will explain costs, timing, and maintenance. We avoid making medical promises and focus on realistic steps that improve health and appearance.
