At Regency Dental, we know that taking the step to transform your smile is a deeply personal decision.
A smile makeover is not a single, one-size-fits-all procedure; it is a fully customized treatment plan designed exclusively around your vision. Our promise is to treat you like family, which means we will always take the dedicated time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and understand exactly what you want to achieve. We will never pressure you into unnecessary treatments or allow insurance limitations to dictate your care.
Evaluating Tooth Color, Shape, Size, & Alignment
A truly stunning smile looks perfectly natural and beautifully complements your unique facial features. During your consultation at our Omaha, NE office, Dr. Ellingson, Dr. Spanel, and Dr. Nelson will evaluate every aspect of your current smile. We look closely at the brightness and color of your enamel, the symmetry of your gumline, and the length, shape, and alignment of your teeth. Whether you have shortened teeth from years of wear, deep discoloration, or uneven spacing, we identify exactly which aesthetic elements need to be refreshed to create a balanced, youthful appearance.
Combining Cosmetic & Restorative Treatments
Because we offer comprehensive dentistry under one roof, we can seamlessly integrate multiple modern treatments to achieve your goals. Your custom makeover might combine cosmetic enhancements with essential restorative work to rebuild the full function of your bite. A comprehensive plan could include:
- Porcelain veneers or dental bonding: To beautifully conceal chips, gaps, and stubborn stains.
- Same-day ceramic crowns: To repair severely decayed or damaged teeth using our advanced in-office milling technology.
- Dental implants: To permanently replace missing teeth, preserve your jawbone, and restore your chewing power.
- Professional Zoom whitening: To establish a bright, vibrant baseline before we expertly color-match your new custom restorations.
The Role Of Digital Dentistry In Smile Planning
We have invested heavily in advanced clinical technology because it directly improves your experience and the predictability of your results. Using our iTero intraoral scanners and CBCT 3D imaging, we create a highly precise digital model of your mouth—completely bypassing messy, gag-inducing putty impressions. This digital foundation, combined with our in-house 3D printing capabilities, allows us to meticulously plan every step of your makeover. We can even help you visualize the proposed outcome before treatment begins, giving you absolute confidence in the road ahead.
Creating A Phased Treatment Timeline
We understand that a full smile makeover is an investment of both your time and resources. Because we base our care on your long-term needs rather than what an insurance policy covers, we can create a flexible, phased treatment timeline that works comfortably within your lifestyle and budget. If you choose to consolidate your care and complete your makeover in fewer, longer visits, we offer comprehensive comfort options so you can drift peacefully through your appointments without any fear, anxiety, or stress.
Balancing Aesthetic Goals With Oral Health Needs
Good dentistry is about much more than just aesthetics; it is about building a healthy, functional foundation. A beautiful smile that cannot comfortably chew food or withstand the daily forces of your bite is simply not a success. We proactively identify and address underlying issues, such as active gum disease, decay, or bite misalignment, before placing cosmetic restorations. If chronic clenching and grinding (bruxism) contributed to your initial tooth wear, we may incorporate injectables for TMD to relax your jaw muscles, relieve pain, and protect your newly restored teeth from future damage.
Maintaining Your Smile Makeover Results Long-Term
Our relationship with you does not end once your makeover is complete. As your trusted dental team in Omaha, NE, we are committed to helping you maintain your beautiful new smile for decades to come. Protecting your investment is very straightforward:
- Consistent hygiene: Continue brushing twice a day and flossing daily to keep the margins around your crowns, implants, and veneers healthy and free of plaque.
- Routine care: Visit us for your personalized preventative check-ups so we can proactively monitor the health and stability of your restorations.
- Wear protection: If recommended, wear your custom nightguard faithfully to prevent nighttime grinding from chipping or fracturing your custom ceramic work.
