Geoffrey A. Jackson, DDS - JACKSON DENTAL
A smile makeover is a personalized plan based on your goals and what your teeth need. It may include Invisalign, whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, or a combination. We begin by evaluating your oral health, bite, and smile. Our philosophy is to use the least amount of dentistry needed to create a natural-looking smile that functions well. Sometimes patients who initially want veneers find they love their smile after Invisalign and whitening alone.

Geoffrey A. Jackson, DDS - JACKSON DENTAL
We specialize in accelerated Invisalign treatment. Most of our patients finish in about 6 - 8 months, and some simpler cases finish in as little as 3 - 4 months. More complex cases can take longer. Your timeline depends on the movement needed and how consistently you wear your aligners. After a digital scan and evaluation, we can give you an estimate for your smile. Retainers are needed after treatment to help maintain your result.

Geoffrey A. Jackson, DDS - JACKSON DENTAL
Aftercare depends on the treatment. We give patients instructions for eating, brushing, flossing, and what to expect while numbness or tenderness wears off. Invisalign patients receive guidance on aligner wear, cleaning, and retainers. After whitening, we discuss sensitivity and maintaining your shade. After bonding, veneers, or crowns, we explain how to care for the restorations and when to contact us about discomfort, a bite that feels off, or any questions they might have.
