A Holistic Smile Transformation – Restoring Natural Beauty

At Raleigh Dental Arts, we believe that a beautiful smile doesn’t always require aggressive treatments. Sometimes, the best transformation is a return to natural beauty using conservative, holistic dentistry. Pat’s journey is a perfect example of how whitening, clear aligners, and minimally invasive techniques can create a radiant, healthy smile.

The Challenge

Years ago, Pat received Lumineers to cover the shape and misalignment of her front teeth. While they initially improved her smile, over time, they became discolored at the edges and started to look dingy and unnatural. She no longer felt confident and wanted to return to her own natural teeth—whiter and in better alignment.

Fortunately, because her teeth had not been altered before the no-prep veneers, this was a possibility. She just needed a conservative plan to restore her smile while protecting her tooth structure and bite balance.

The Solution

We discussed multiple treatment possibilities, and Pat ultimately chose a holistic approach that prioritized preservation and natural aesthetics:

• Sedation dentistry for a stress-free veneer removal.
• Laser technology to gently remove the Lumineers without damaging her natural teeth.
• Candid Clear Aligner Therapy to improve tooth position and bite function.
• Professional whitening to achieve a bright, youthful smile.

By using state-of-the-art laser technology, we safely removed the old veneers, allowing her natural teeth to shine through. Then, with clear aligners, we guided her teeth into a healthy, balanced alignment, ensuring not just aesthetics but also long-term oral health.

The Transformation

In less than one year, Pat achieved exactly what she was looking for—a whiter, healthier, and more natural smile. Her teeth are now in ideal alignment, giving her a balanced, harmonious look. And best of all, she maintained her own natural tooth structure, avoiding the need for additional restorations.

With simple twice-yearly cleanings, her new smile will stay bright and beautiful for years to come.
