Smile Transformation Stories

Marlana

Marlana came to our Wellesley clinic a year before her wedding, hoping to repair her short, damaged front teeth and achieve a naturally beautiful smile for her big day. With patience and dedication, she embraced a two-phase plan that delivered an authentic, radiant smile. Her transformation made her wedding photos — and her confidence — truly unforgettable.

Marlana's Smile Transformation Story

When Marlana first visited us, her main concern was having a smile she could feel proud of on her wedding day. Her front teeth appeared too short and worn, and she longed for a solution that looked natural while lasting beyond her special event.

At our Wellesley Smile Design Clinic — the first certified Digital Smile Design Clinic in the U.S. — we designed a personalized, two-phase plan. In Phase I, she completed six months of Invisalign to correct function and alignment, ensuring the most conservative cosmetic outcome. In Phase II, we placed six minimally invasive porcelain veneers, crafted by our in-house Master Ceramist, to restore balance, proportion, and harmony.

The result was a stunning smile that Marlana described as feeling completely authentic. Her transformation not only made her a radiant bride but also inspired her to refer her fiancé Andrew and her best friend for their own cosmetic treatments — a testament to her trust and satisfaction with her care.
