Same-Day Smile Makeover in Manchester, NH

Maybe one broken tooth is what finally brought you in, but what's really been on your mind for years is the rest of your smile — the chips, the dark edges, and the habit of smiling with your lips closed in every photo. Dr. Mann knows that feeling well, so he starts your visit by asking what you don't like and then truly listens, because as he puts it, the broken tooth is rarely the whole story: "That's just what got them there." From there, the two of you talk about the brighter, straighter, more even smile you've been picturing and whether a single day can get you there.

We plan your new smile well before you sit down for it: we take a digital scan and photos, and a digital designer uses them to create a beautiful smile for your face, which Dr. Mann then brings into our own design software so every tooth is mapped out ahead of time. That careful planning is what lets the day itself feel calm and unhurried — you'll arrive knowing what your new smile is meant to look like, because you'll already have talked it through with Dr. Mann and told him what you'd like softer, brighter or shaped a little differently.

Finishing each new tooth by hand

The day itself is a long one, roughly eight in the morning to three in the afternoon, and Dr. Mann spends it with just one patient — you — so nothing about it feels rushed. Once you're comfortably numb, he gently prepares the teeth that show when you smile, we mill each new tooth right in our Manchester dental office from the design we planned together, and then Dr. Mann hand-shapes and hand-finishes every one himself to "put the nice sparkle" on it. By the afternoon you walk out with the smile you came in hoping for, and as he says, "that's a rewarding day."

What is a same-day smile makeover?

A same-day smile makeover is a smile makeover completed in a single day, where Dr. Mann prepares the front teeth that show when you smile and we design, mill and fit your new teeth in our office before you go home — often 8 to 10 veneers in one day. Because the whole process stays under one roof, you work with one doctor and one team, from your first photos to the moment you see your finished smile in the mirror.

How much does a same-day smile makeover cost in Manchester, NH?

The cost depends on how many teeth are part of your new smile and what each of them needs, so Dr. Mann gives you a clear plan and cost before anything begins, and your first step can be a complimentary consultation with a digital scan and digital photos. We offer financing through Cherry and CareCredit, and the Mann Plan, our in-office membership plan, can help as well — and although we're out of network, we file any claims for you so reimbursement comes straight to you.

How does Dr. Mann make a new smile look natural?

By finishing every tooth by hand after we mill it: Dr. Mann shapes each one himself and adds the small details and sparkle that make new teeth look like they've always been yours. As a cosmetic dentist, he has trained for years in front-tooth work with CEREC, same-day crowns milled in our office, and today he's a mentor and visiting faculty member at CDOCS, where he helps other dentists learn the same careful approach.

How long does a same-day smile makeover take?

It takes one long day — for a new smile of 8 upper teeth, roughly eight in the morning to three in the afternoon — and Dr. Mann sets that whole day aside for you alone. Most of those hours go into careful, detailed work, from preparing your teeth to milling each new one and finishing it by hand, and the reward for your patience is going home that same afternoon with your new smile already in place.

Who is a good fit for a same-day smile makeover?

A same-day smile makeover is a lovely fit for adults who want to change the look of several front teeth at once — chips, stains, or worn and uneven edges — and whose teeth and gums are healthy enough to support new ones. Dr. Mann finds that out at your new-patient visit, which runs about 90 minutes and includes a 3D scan, so he can tell you honestly whether one day is the right path to the smile you want.

Choosing the smile plan that truly fits you

A same-day smile makeover is a wonderful fit for many people, and Dr. Mann will also tell you honestly when something simpler — whitening, bonding, or a few porcelain veneers — would give you the smile you want, or when your teeth would do better straightened first with SureSmile clear aligners or your gums need care before anything cosmetic begins. "I treatment plan what's necessary," he says, which means you get the plan that serves your smile and your health, and the freedom to choose it at your own pace.

What’s the difference between a same-day smile makeover and porcelain veneers?

The new teeth themselves are similar, thin ceramic restorations bonded to the front of your teeth, but the path is different: with traditional porcelain veneers, your teeth are prepared at one visit, you wear temporaries while a lab makes your veneers, and they’re bonded at a second visit a few weeks later, while in a same-day smile makeover Dr. Mann designs, mills and hand-finishes your new teeth in our office and bonds them that same afternoon, so there are no temporaries and no waiting. He’ll tell you honestly which path suits your smile, because some cases are still best served by the lab route.
