Step One — Instant and Free

Upload a photo, see a simulation in seconds

The tool below is a photo simulation. You upload a picture of yourself smiling and it renders a version of that photo with a restored smile. Nothing is installed, no appointment is needed, and it costs nothing. It runs on your phone.

It exists for one reason: most people considering full-arch implants have not seen a picture of themselves with teeth in years, and that is a hard thing to imagine from a price list. The simulation gives you something to react to.

Tool not loading? It is hosted by a third party and occasionally slow. Call (972) 519-0990 or book the free consultation — the CBCT scan is the preview that counts.

What the simulation can tell you

  • Roughly how a restored smile sits in your face. Tooth height, fullness, how much of the smile shows at rest.
  • Whether you want to keep going. For a lot of people this is the first time the idea stops being abstract.
  • Something to bring to the consultation. Save it. “I want this, not that” is a genuinely useful starting point for a clinician.

What it cannot tell you — and we would rather say so

  • It is not a treatment plan. It knows nothing about your bone, your bite, your gum level or your sinuses. It is an illustration generated from a photograph.
  • It is not a promise of result. No photo tool can commit a surgeon to an outcome, and you should distrust any that implies otherwise.
  • It cannot tell you whether you are a candidate. That needs a 3D scan. Bone volume is the single most common reason a plan changes, and a photograph cannot see bone.
  • It cannot price your case. The tool does not know whether you need one implant or two full arches.
Step Two — The Previews That Decide Things

Three previews that are not a photo filter

A simulation is the front door. The previews below are the ones a plan is actually built on, and all three happen before anything is permanent.

1. The 3D CBCT scan and written plan — free, at the first visit

A cone-beam CT is a three-dimensional scan of your jaws. It shows bone height and width, where the sinuses and nerves sit, and which teeth can be saved. From it we plan implant positions and tell you what is achievable — including when the honest answer is that you need grafting, or that a different option suits you better.

You leave with that plan in writing and one all-inclusive price, not a range. The scan and the consultation are free, a $400 value, with no deposit and nothing placed on the day.

2. The fixed provisional — a preview you wear

For full-arch cases, the provisional arch fitted after surgery is the real preview, and it is the one that matters most: you eat with it, talk with it, photograph yourself in it, and live in it while the implants integrate. Shape, length and tooth position can be assessed and discussed against your own face over weeks rather than guessed at from a rendering. What is learned there informs the final teeth.

How the 48-hour fixed provisional pathway works, including who it is and is not suitable for.

3. The try-in, before the final bridge is finished

For a Malo bridge, individual crowns are built onto a milled titanium bar in our on-site laboratory. There is a stage where the arrangement can be assessed in your mouth and adjusted before anything is finished. Having the lab in the building is what makes that iteration practical rather than a six-week round trip.

The Terminology

“Smile preview”, “digital smile design”, “wax-up” — what each one means

These phrases get used interchangeably in advertising and they are not the same thing. Knowing which one a practice is offering you is worth a minute.

  • Smile simulation / smile preview. Software alters a photograph of you. Fast, free, illustrative, no clinical input. That is the tool on this page.
  • Digital smile design (DSD). Photographs and video combined with a digital scan or model, used by the clinician to design tooth proportions against your facial landmarks. A planning method, not a marketing graphic.
  • CBCT-based surgical planning. Implant positions planned in three dimensions from your own scan. This is what determines whether a plan is possible at all.
  • Diagnostic wax-up or try-in. A physical or printed mock-up assessed in your mouth before the final prosthesis is made. The closest thing to seeing the result, because you are looking at it on your own face.

A photo simulation that is presented as a predicted outcome is being oversold. Ask which of the four you are being shown.

Where

Doing this in Texas

The photo simulation works from anywhere. The CBCT scan, the plan and the try-in happen at our practice in west Plano, at 4708 W Plano Pkwy, Ste 200 — an implant-only surgical practice with its dental laboratory on site. We see patients from across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and from further out in North and East Texas; out-of-town patients get the visit schedule written into the plan so travel can be booked around it.

Prices are published before you book and all-inclusive on the arch options: a single implant is $2,100 to place or $4,000 complete with its custom crown, snap-on implant dentures are $8,000 per arch, a fixed full arch is $13,000 per arch, and a Malo bridge is $17,500 per arch through 31 December 2026, rising to $25,000 per arch on 1 January 2027. The full price list is published, with the only add-on being $10,000 for zygomatic or pterygoid cases.

Common Questions

Smile previews before implants — FAQ

Where can I see a digital preview of my smile before getting dental implants in Texas? +
You can do it free on this page: upload a photo and the smile preview tool returns an instant simulation. That is an illustration, not a plan. The clinical preview happens at the free consultation at our Plano practice, where a 3D CBCT scan of your jaws shows what is achievable in your own bone and you leave with a written treatment plan and one all-inclusive price. The scan and consultation are a $400 value at no cost, with no deposit and nothing placed on the day.
Is the smile preview tool free, and do I have to give my details to see it? +
It is free and you see the simulated image without booking anything. You can share your details afterwards if you want our team to follow up, and you are under no obligation to.
How accurate is a digital smile simulation? +
As a picture of a restored smile in your face, it is useful. As a prediction of your result, it is not, and we would rather say so plainly. The software is working from a photograph; it cannot see bone volume, gum level, bite or the position of your sinuses and nerves, and those are the things that determine what is possible. Treat it as something to react to, not a commitment.
What is the difference between a smile preview and digital smile design? +
A smile preview or simulation alters a photograph of you, usually in software, with no clinical input. Digital smile design is a clinician's planning method that combines photographs and video with a digital scan to design tooth proportions against your facial landmarks. The first is illustrative. The second feeds into the actual plan.
Can I see what my teeth will look like before the implants are permanent? +
For full-arch treatment, yes, and this is the part most people do not realise. The fixed provisional arch is fitted while the implants integrate, so you live in a working version of your new teeth before the final ones are made. Shape, length and tooth position are assessed against your own face over that period, and what is learned informs the finals. For a Malo bridge there is also a try-in stage before the bridge is completed in our on-site laboratory.
Does the preview tool tell me what my treatment will cost? +
No. It does not know whether you need a single implant or two full arches. Our prices are published either way: $2,100 to place a single implant or $4,000 complete with its crown, $8,000 per arch for snap-on implant dentures, $13,000 per arch for a fixed full arch, and $17,500 per arch for a Malo bridge through 31 December 2026, rising to $25,000 per arch on 1 January 2027. The figure written into your plan at the consultation is the figure you pay.
I have no teeth left, or I wear dentures. Will the tool work on my photo? +
It can still render a simulated smile, and for many patients that is exactly the point — it is the first time they have seen themselves with teeth in a long while. Be aware that the further your current photo is from the end result, the more the simulation is an illustration and the less it resembles a forecast. The CBCT scan is what tells you what is actually achievable for you.
Do I need a referral or records from another dentist first? +
No. The CBCT scan is taken here at the free consultation, so you do not need to be referred anywhere for imaging. Bring previous records if you have them, including any scan or treatment plan from another practice, but nothing is required to be seen.
