Smile Makeover

Success Stories
A car crash during Holly Neifert's sophomore year in high school left her with an incomplete smile.
Her dentist at the time repaired her teeth with crowns, braces and other solutions. As a model that occasionally participated in beauty pageants, Holly never was happy with the way she looked. In photos, Holly showed only a closed-mouth smile.
Holly eventually became an optometrist. Her professional endeavors and her drive for perfection led her to seek better dentistry. She saw several dentists but never was satisfied with the result she got.
Then, she met Dr. Avant. She knew right away that he was different.
"I have a trusting relationship with Dr. Avant. That's the most important thing to me," Holly said. "his staff is one of the friendliest that I've ever met. In fact, they know all my family."
For holly, the decision to get a smile makeover wasn't difficult. She had been thinking about it for a while. When Dr. Avant showed her a digital image of what her new smile would look like, she was convinced.
With six new upper crowns, Holly now has a restored smile that makes her feel wonderful. She doesn't hesitate to smile around people and she credits Dr. Avant with the rejuvenation of her self-esteem.
"New people I meet are always saying to me, 'The first thing I noticed was your smile.' That's just amazing!"
Short. Worn. Dark. Aged. If this describes your teeth, you might be a candidate for full-mouth reconstruction.
Teeth such as these detract from your appearance and affect your health. Their condition is likely the result of "malocclusion," a condition that occurs when your bite is out of alignment and shifts.
The shift also can cause other problems, such as migraines, TMJ and back pain.
Dr. Avant can carefully reconstruct each tooth in your mouth, restoring it to its natural shape. your jaw will return to its optimal position, alleviating painful symptoms.
The result? A smile that looks and feels absolutely wonderful.
Years of poor habits and grinding teeth left Mr. James with a worn, broken and stained smile. Dr. Avant recommended full-mouth reconstruction to rebuild the youth and health of his smile.
Just a few short visits later, Mr. James' smile looked 20 years younger.
"I really appreciate the high level of service Dr. Avant gave me," Mr. James said.
Kim: I had been missing two teeth since I was a kid and had wide spaces between my teeth. Braces in high school didn't last and I was never happy with my smile. Dr. Avant closed my gaps with eight veneers and gave me a beautiful smile. I wish I could have done this when I was a teenager!
Mike: When I had my old fillings replaced and learned I would need a crown, Dr. Avant suggested veneers to enhance my smile. I'm glad he did. Dr. Avant and his team over delivered on my expectations!

Most of my teeth were so badly damaged, they were almost beyond repair.
Years of sports injuries and neglect had ruined my smile. If I didn't have something done soon there would have been nothing left to repair.
When it came time to do something about my smile, there was no choice to be made. Dr. Avant has been my family dentist for years. I trust him implicitly.
First and foremost, Dr. Avant stopped the deterioration and made my mouth healthy again. As an added bonus, the result was a beautiful new smile I am proud to show off.
I feel much better knowing that my teeth have been repaired and I love my new smile. If you want a healthy smile again, call Dr. Avant and get it taken care of. It's a good investment.
I started seeing Dr. Avant shortly after we moved here from Colorado in 1987. We responded to one of his flyers in the mail. He's been my general dentist ever since.
Over time, my old caps were causing a black line to form around my gums. It made me feel less social because I felt as though people were looking at my mouth all the time. It didn't look natural, so I didn't smile much.
Then, Dr. Avant old me about the advantages of cosmetic dentistry and how it could improve my life. I had a lot of questions, but he walked me through every step of the way. When he showed me a digital image of my smile, I was sold.
Before you knew it, Dr. Avant fitted me with 10 anterior crowns and veneers. The experience was great - it's like being with my family at Dr. Avant's office. Before he was done, he made sure I was pleased with results.
I feel so much better, so much happier. Thank you.
I was just 5 years old when I fell and knocked out my front tooth. It affected my lower teeth and by the time I was 18, I had a permanent bridge.
That bridge never looked right to me. When we moved to Plano a few years ago, I received a flyer in the mail from Dr. Avant. I went to him and he told me I eventually would need to get my old bridge replaced.
What I didn't expect were all the possibilities to improve my whole smile. Dr. Avant showed me how my new smile would look and I loved it. Dr. Avant replaced my bridge and one of my crowns. He also placed porcelain veneers on my upper and lower teeth.
They now look great. It hasn't been that long since Dr. Avant did this for me, but I already feel better about myself. Dr. Avant and his staff did a super job. They took really good care of my throughout the whole process. For anyone unsure about getting their smiles fixed, I have two words: DO IT!
I was always one who loved to smile. But in pictures, my smile didn't look natural. I used to joke that my smile was the one thing holding me back from becoming a super model. But joking aside, I was concerned about what people thought of my smile.
As a construction planning and development manager for hospitals, I work with people face-to-face every day. I make presentations constantly, and my success in communicating is critical to the success of our projects. I wondered, however, if my audience was looking at my smile instead of my reports.
Then a co-worker told me about Dr. Avant, so I scheduled and appointment. Dr. Avant was so knowledgeable about my advanced technology that I knew he was the right one to change my smile. He replaced an old bridge, placed porcelain veneers and gave me a brilliant white smile.
My friends were so excited for me. And now I feel more confident about giving presentations at work. Thank, you Dr. Avant!
I had dental problems for years. At one point, I even had veneers and white fillings placed, but time was turning them yellow and I knew other people noticed them.
I was hesitant at first to have new veneers put on, but Dr. Avant was so helpful and explained everything to me. He showed me what my smile was going to look like. Once I saw it on the screen, there was nothing holding me back.
I'm so glad I had my smile redesigned. It really makes me look a lot younger and brightens my view of myself. It's all thanks to Dr. Avant. If you're thinking about having it done, don't think too long. Just have it done. You'll be glad you did.
I first want to say that I love to laugh and smile. In time my teeth were shifting and then my smile got covered by my hand. Then my little love of my life was born, my granddaughter. We laughed all the time, and then I realized she was doing what I was doing. I wanted to see her smile her great smile. I knew then that I must do something with my teeth. Thanks to Dr. Cliff Avant and to ALL the wonderful people that he has, they were able to give me a great and perfect smile. Their time and consideration of what I wanted was wonderful. So now my granddaughter and I laugh and smile all the time, and our hands are used to hold each other's.
Thanks for all my smiles,
Brenda Rivera
