Change your smile, change your life

Smile Design is Dr. McCulla’s personalized approach to smile makeovers—created to help you explore what’s possible and move toward a smile that feels natural, confident, and truly yours.

What exactly is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is the transformation from where you are now to where you want to be. If you’re uncomfortable with your smile, whether from trauma, wear, or broken-down teeth, it’s a way to improve your smile, your confidence, and your quality of life.

Why do I do smile makeovers?

The day someone sees their new smile is my favorite day in dentistry. Watching their confidence grow—how they walk into a room, how they interact, how they carry themselves—that’s why I love doing this work.

What’s my approach to smile makeovers?

My goal is to make the process simple and clear, whether through our Smile Virtual consultation, an AI preview, or an in-person visit. We work together to discover what you want and design an option that fits your goals, timeline, and budget—with no surprises along the way.

What you can expect during our Smile Design Process

There is no one-size-fits-all smile makeover. Some guests want a small, thoughtful change. Others are ready for a more significant transformation. Dr. McCulla helps you imagine what’s possible, choose the right path for you, and bring your new smile to life.

  • Share what you want to change, how you want to feel, and what you hope your smile could make possible. Whether you start with a smile simulation, a virtual consult, or an in-office conversation, this step helps turn vague ideas into a clear vision.

  • Dr. McCulla helps you choose the right pathway for your goals, comfort level, budget, and long-term outcome. Every detail is considered with your natural features in mind, so your new smile feels balanced, confident, and truly yours.

  • Your care experience brings the plan to life with clarity, comfort, and thoughtful guidance at every step. The final result is a smile designed to look natural, feel like you, and help you move through life with more confidence.

How does a “test drive” work?

A smile test drive gives you the opportunity to preview your future smile before moving forward with the final design. During this experience, Dr. McCulla layers material directly over your teeth to create a real-time preview of the shape, length, and overall look of your new smile.

For many guests, it is the first time they truly see what’s possible. You’ll have the chance to look in the mirror, take photos, show loved ones, and share feedback while Dr. McCulla refines the details alongside you. The test drive often becomes the foundation for the temporary and final smile design moving forward.
