Preview Your Smile Before You Commit
Decisions made with clarity
Cosmetic dentistry involves permanent decisions. The Try Smile™ experience was created to give patients clarity before committing to porcelain veneers, so decisions feel clear and informed.
Rather than relying on imagination or promises, the Try Smile™ allows you to preview the proposed direction of your smile and decide whether it truly feels right for you.
What Is a Try Smile™?
A Try Smile™ is Dr. Michael Kosdon’s structured smile preview experience. It allows patients to see and feel a proposed smile design before final porcelain veneers are placed. This step is designed for patients who want certainty, not pressure.
Why Dr. Kosdon Offers the Try Smile™
Many patients hesitate to move forward with veneers because they worry about:
- Looking unnatural or “overdone”
- Committing before knowing if the result feels like “them”
- Making a permanent change too quickly
The Try Smile™ experience exists to remove that uncertainty. By previewing the direction first, patients can:
- Confirm the look aligns with their goals
- Ask better, more specific questions
- Move forward (or pause) with confidence
Try Smile™ vs. a “Trial Smile”
You may hear the term “trial smile” used to describe previewing cosmetic changes. The Try Smile™ is Dr. Kosdon’s specific approach, and it’s guided by his philosophy of restraint and long-term thinking. It is never rushed or automated.
The emphasis is on realism and decision-making, not selling treatment.
Who Benefits Most From a Try Smile™?
The Try Smile™ can be especially helpful for patients who:
- Want natural-looking porcelain veneers
- Feel anxious about cosmetic dentistry
- Are unsure how many veneers they need
- Want to avoid surprises
- Value thoughtful planning over speed
Not every patient requires a Try Smile™, and it is never mandatory. When clarity matters, it can be an invaluable step.
What the Appointment Is Like
The Try Smile™ experience is unhurried and collaborative. Depending on your case, it may include:
- Discussion of goals and concerns
- Review of facial proportions and tooth anatomy
- A provisional preview of the proposed smile direction
- Time to evaluate appearance and feel
There is no obligation to proceed with treatment.
What If I Don’t Like the Try Smile™?
That is exactly why it exists. If something doesn’t feel right, adjustments can be discussed or treatment can be paused altogether. The goal is to prevent regret, not create momentum.
A Note on Decision-Making
The Try Smile™ is not about convincing you to move forward. It’s about helping you decide if and how to move forward with clarity and peace of mind. Some patients proceed immediately; others take time. Both are appropriate outcomes.
How the Try Smile™ Fits Into the Process
The Try Smile™ is offered only after thoughtful consultation and planning. It is one part of a larger, predictable process designed to reduce anxiety and support good decision-making.
