A free smile consultation — Sterling, Virginia
The Smile Reveal: see your new smile before you decide
Most people decide on a new smile from a brochure and a shade tab. Someone else’s teeth, and your own imagination asked to do the rest — which is a lot to ask of anyone.
Our complimentary consultation turns on one idea: you wear a mockup of your own design. We photograph it, and you see it beside where you started, before anything is decided. If it does not feel right, we adjust it or we stop. Either way, you leave knowing more than you did walking in.

Request your Smile Reveal
The first visit is just records. No cost, no obligation.
Why a preview beats a picture
Every cosmetic dentist can show you someone else’s result. The problem is that you are not someone else. The preview works because you are looking at your own face — your lips, your proportions, your own mouth — not a stranger’s best photo. That is the mechanism: it removes the imagination step, where most smile decisions quietly die.
What happens, in order
Two visits, five plain steps
The first visit is just records — nothing to decide that day. The seeing comes before the deciding.
The errors happen on the computer, not in your mouth.
01VISIT 1 · RECORDS
We take the records
Sit down, say what bothers you, then photos and a digital scan. That’s the whole first visit. Nothing to decide.
02BETWEEN VISITS
The design work happens
Your records become a three-dimensional model of you — not a diagram, and not a stock set of teeth. Every clinical decision gets made on that model first: what the bone supports, what the bite is doing, what is realistic. The errors happen on the computer, not in your mouth.
03VISIT 2 · THE SMILE TEST DRIVE
You wear it
A mockup of the design goes over your own teeth. It only adds material, so nothing is drilled and nothing is filed, and it comes off before you leave.
04VISIT 2 · THE REVEAL
You see it beside where you started
We photograph you wearing it, and those photographs go into a presentation next to your before. Dr. Tarek walks you through it. Your face, that smile, side by side.
Side by side is the point. On its own, a photograph of a good smile just looks like a good smile. Against your own before, you can see the size of the decision you are being asked to make.
05VISIT 2 · THE PLAN
You take it home
The full plan, in writing, with the numbers on it. Decide at your kitchen table, not in the chair.
Why we built it this way
Dr. Tarek has done this long enough to know that the moment someone sees themselves differently changes how they feel about the whole process. A guest who’d avoided photographs for decades. A guest who had been told it was too complicated. It’s why the practice invested in the technology to show you before treatment starts, not after.
It’s also why there’s no pressure to book anything on the spot. Some guests move forward the same week. Others take the plan home and think about it for months. Both are fine with us.
What it costs to find out
Nothing. Both visits, the records, the design, the Smile Test Drive, and the written plan. That is not a promotion or a limited offer; it is how the practice has decided this conversation should start. If treatment planning later needs extra diagnostics, you hear the cost before anything is scheduled.
What a preview can and cannot tell you
Two things are worth saying plainly before you book, because both of them cut against booking.
The honest limit
It is a preview, not a guarantee. The final result depends on bone structure, existing dental work, and your bite. What it gives you is direction — proportions, shade, shape, and how a fuller smile sits against your lips and jawline.
And if the answer is no
Plenty of people see it and decide not to. You keep the plan, you know what is realistic, and the door stays open — next year or never. A clear, unpressured no is worth more than a yes you were talked into.
Questions people ask before booking
Who this visit is for
You don’t need to already know what you want. It tends to be most useful if you are:
- Are considering veneers, a smile makeover, or cosmetic bonding but want to see it before committing
- Are weighing Invisalign and want a sense of how straighter teeth would change their smile’s overall look
- Are missing one or more teeth and want to understand implant or full-arch options, including what a rebuilt smile could look like
- Have been told “no” or “it’s complicated” elsewhere and want a second look
- Aren’t sure yet and want an honest, pressure-free read on what’s realistic
Guests paying out of pocket often move through this the most efficiently, since planning isn’t limited by what a plan will or won’t cover. Our Membership Club is there for guests who want predictable in-house pricing without traditional insurance.
