Start your treatment from anywhere

Your first step toward a new smile does not have to start in a dental chair. With The Dental Spa’s virtual smile consultation, you can send us a short video of your smile and receive expert feedback from one of our prosthodontists before coming into the office.

Whether you’re considering veneers, crowns, implants, Invisalign, or a full smile makeover, this is a simple way to understand what may be possible.

    How the virtual smile consultation works

    Getting started only takes a few minutes.

    Record a short video of your smile

    Use your phone to record a 30- to 60-second video of your smile from the front and both sides. Natural lighting works best, and no special equipment is needed.

    Submit it through the form

    Upload your video using the form below. You can also include a note about what you want to change, what has been bothering you, or any questions you have.

    Hear back from our team

    One of our prosthodontists will review your video and reach out with personalized feedback. We’ll let you know what we’re seeing, which options may make sense, and whether an in-office consultation is the right next step.

    Why start with a virtual consultation?

    Many patients come to us after years of wondering what is possible. Some feel hesitant to schedule an appointment. Others know they want to improve their smile but are not sure where to begin.

    A virtual consultation gives you a low-pressure starting point. Our team will review your smile, share what we notice, and help you understand what your next step could look like. No sales pitch. No commitment. Just thoughtful feedback from a team that values your time.

    What we can evaluate from your video

    A short video can give our prosthodontists a helpful first look at your smile. We may be able to evaluate:

    • Tooth shape, size, and symmetry
    • Staining or discoloration
    • Chips, cracks, gaps, or visible wear
    • Gum line appearance
    • Whether veneers, bonding, crowns, implants, or
    • Invisalign may be worth exploring
    • Whether a full mouth reconstruction may be appropriate

    A virtual consultation does not replace a complete in-office exam, but it can give you clearer direction before you schedule a visit.

    Who is this for?

    A virtual smile consultation may be a good fit if you are considering cosmetic or restorative dental treatment and want to better understand your options.
    It can be especially helpful for patients interested in:

    • Porcelain veneers
    • Composite bonding
    • Dental crowns or crown replacements
    • Dental implants
    • Invisalign or smile alignment
    • Full mouth reconstruction
    • A second opinion on previous dental work

    If you are not sure what type of treatment you need, that is okay. Send us your video, tell us what you are noticing, and we’ll help you understand what may come next.

    What happens at an in-office cosmetic consultation

    If the virtual review points to treatment, or you’d rather start in person, the next step is a cosmetic consultation at our Center City, Bryn Mawr, or Devon office. It takes about an hour. Here is how it runs.

    The first 15 minutes: what bothers you

    You sit down with your prosthodontist, not a treatment coordinator, and talk about what you’d change. Bring photos of your smile from years ago if you have them, or of smiles you like. The conversation is about your goals before anything clinical.

    Records and imaging

    We take a series of photographs of your smile and face, a digital scan of both arches (no impression trays), and digital X-rays. If implants, gum work, or a bite change are on the table, a 3D CT scan is added. These records let us design your smile on screen and check that the plan will work with your bite, not just look good in a photo.

    The exam

    Your prosthodontist checks the health of your teeth and gums, how your teeth meet, signs of grinding or wear, and any existing dental work. Cosmetic treatment on an unhealthy foundation fails, so anything that needs attention first goes into the plan.

    The preview

    For veneer and makeover cases, we show you a digital design of the proposed result on your own teeth. You can ask for teeth to be longer, shorter, squarer, or softer before anything is made. Many patients later wear a temporary version of that design for a week or two to test-drive it.

    What you leave with

    A written treatment plan that lists every step, the order they happen in, the number of visits, the timeline, and the full price, along with the financing options available through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Proceed Financial. If there’s a simpler or less expensive way to get most of the result, it’s on the page too.

    If you decide not to proceed

    Nothing happens. The plan is yours to think about, and there’s no follow-up pressure. Some patients come back in six months; some come back in three years. The records stay on file so you don’t start from scratch.
