My smile makeover with veneers!
A little about my dental history.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram for long, you have heard about my huge smile makeover with Dr. Ashley. I had a complicated dental history to say the least (braces, retainers, a dental implant, and most recently a chipped front tooth).
I was also self-conscious about some white spots on my front teeth that seemed to go from not noticeable to extremely bright depending on dehydration, the weather, travel, etc. (AKA, a nightmare!). I had dreamed of improving my smile, but had little knowledge about my options and kept putting it off- I knew it wouldn’t be cheap.
Once I chipped my front tooth while eating a salad with candied walnuts (inset eye roll), I knew it was time to finally see a dentist. I went to a consult with a local dentist, and learned that there were treatments for white spots, bonding for the chipped tooth, and I could also whiten my teeth in an hour with Zoom! whitening. HOWEVER, I learned that the only way to achieve that perfect movie star smile would be through veneers.
Deciding on veneers.
Veneers aren’t cheap, but I realized that would be the ideal option for me since I wanted to improve the color of my teeth, as well as the size/shape (I had naturally very small teeth!). I googled tons of celebrity before and afters with veneers and was AMAZED! I soon started searching for the very best cosmetic dentist in Northern California. I stumbled upon Dr. Ashley Joves, the owner of Smile and Co. in Folsom, Calif., on Instagram! I fell in love with her work- she had done the most stunning smile transformations!
We chatted over dms, and then scheduled an initial consult. As soon as I walked into Smile and Co., I was greeted by the most friendly staff! I have literally never been to such an upbeat dental office. I’m not exaggerating. Dr. Ashley and her staff are SOOO sweet and friendly!
At my first appointment, Dr. Ashley used her amazing technology to show me what my new smile would look like! After that, I went on to receive my temporary, then permanent veneers. Those two office visits were both long days (4+ hours), but SOOO worth it! Dr. Ashley and her staff were so gentle, and I never felt pain (just the discomfort you’d expect when being at the dentist all day!).
I am truly SO happy with the way my smile turned out. My only regret is that I didn't take the plunge sooner! If you’re looking to get a smile makeover of your own, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Ashley at Smile and Co. for a consult! And don’t forget to mention that I sent you! :)
Before + after!
Before: I had a chipped tooth, white spots and very small teeth. I can’t believe the difference veneers made! I’m now very happy with the color, shape and size of my teeth.
