When you’re considering a complete smile transformation, making such an important decision can feel overwhelming. You want to know exactly how your new smile will look and feel before committing to treatment. At Skale Dental Professionals, we understand this completely, which is why we offer our revolutionary Trial Smile service — allowing you to test-drive your dream smile before making any permanent changes.
Our Trial Smile technology represents a breakthrough in cosmetic dentistry consultation. Using advanced 3D digital design software and precision 3D printing, we create a custom temporary overlay that fits perfectly over your existing teeth. This isn’t just a computer simulation on a screen — it’s a real, physical preview you can wear, speak with, and show to your loved ones. We’ve invested in state-of-the-art technology that lets you experience firsthand how your new smile will transform your appearance and boost your confidence.
Benefits of Trying Before You Buy
The Trial Smile experience eliminates the uncertainty that often accompanies major dental decisions. Instead of relying solely on computer images or trying to imagine how veneers or crowns might look, you get to wear your new smile and experience it in real life. This hands-on preview helps you make confident decisions about your dental investment.
During your Trial Smile appointment, we can make real-time adjustments based on your feedback. Perhaps you’d like your teeth slightly shorter, or you want to adjust the shade — we can modify the design until it’s exactly what you envision. This collaborative process ensures your final restoration will exceed your expectations. Our patients consistently tell us that being able to preview their results gave them complete peace of mind about moving forward with treatment.
Who Can Benefit from Trial Smile
Trial Smile technology is ideal for anyone considering significant cosmetic dental work. Whether you’re thinking about porcelain veneers to transform your smile, planning a full mouth reconstruction, or exploring options to replace multiple missing teeth, seeing your potential results beforehand makes all the difference. We’ve helped professionals who want to enhance their appearance for career advancement, individuals preparing for special events like weddings, and those who simply want to regain confidence in their smile.
This service is particularly valuable for patients who have been considering cosmetic dentistry for years but hesitated due to uncertainty about the results. The Trial Smile process often becomes the turning point where dreams become reality. Even patients who thought they knew exactly what they wanted often discover preferences they hadn’t considered once they see their Trial Smile in person.
How Trial Smile Works
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation where we listen to your smile goals and concerns. Using our advanced intraoral scanning technology, we capture precise digital impressions of your teeth — no messy traditional molds required. Our skilled team then uses sophisticated CAD/CAM software to design your ideal smile, taking into account your facial features, personality, and specific requests.
Once we’ve perfected the digital design together, we 3D print your custom Trial Smile using biocompatible resin materials. This temporary overlay snaps comfortably over your existing teeth, giving you an incredibly realistic preview of your potential new smile. You’ll be able to speak normally, see how you look from every angle, and even take photos to share with family and friends. Many of our patients are amazed at how natural and comfortable their Trial Smile feels — some even ask to keep wearing it longer because they love how they look!
Your Complimentary Cosmetic Consultation
At Skale Dental Professionals, we believe everyone deserves to smile with confidence. That’s why we offer complimentary cosmetic consultations that include the Trial Smile experience. During this no-obligation appointment, you’ll meet with our experienced team to discuss your goals, explore your options, and receive a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and budget.
We understand that investing in your smile is a significant decision, both emotionally and financially. Our Trial Smile service is just one way we demonstrate our commitment to ensuring your complete satisfaction. We offer flexible financing options through Cherry and other payment plans, making your dream smile more accessible than ever. Many patients are surprised to learn that their new smile can fit comfortably within their monthly budget.
