Portraiture : Capturing people in those completely natural moments..... To me, that is the most creative and enjoyable form of portraiture. Unposed, having fun, playing around, in the places you're most comfortable. Those are the natural and most genuine smiles in the world; or they capture the times when your soul is bared, your heart exposed and on your sleeve, the tears, the thoughtfulness, the love. If you're interested in an on-location portait session of your own, whatever the reason, please contact me at 704-451-3405 for rates and to set a time for us to meet, talk, and plan your unique photo session. (More information will be here soon.)

Caroline C : Caroline has to be one of our absolute favorite patients, to tell the truth. As you can tell from her smile, she is just incredibly bubbly and cheerful and outgoing, so she was a delight to work with. When she first came to see us, though, while just as outgoing and cheerful, she really did NOT like her smile! In fact, she was referred to us because she wanted her smile fixed to help her in her modeling career. As you can see in her Before picture (coming soon), she had what are called "peg laterals," meaning that the second tooth from the top front on each side was too small; just like the description, they looked a bit like pegs. In addition, they were turned and angled; combined with the uneven lower teeth, she felt quite self-conscious. We spent some time talking about the different options, including Six-Month Braces, Porcelain Veneers, Teeth Whitening; eventually, we realized she would need a combination of all 3 to reach her goal of a beautiful smile with a reasonable budget. Besides, she didn't like the idea of having all her top front teeth shaped for veneers. We ended up starting her Smile Makeover with Six-Month Braces on both top and bottom teeth; her case actually took a bit longer (about 7 months, I think) because she really wanted to get it as perfect as possible. After that, she whitened her teeth, and just recently, we did 2 "No-Prep/No Drill" Porcelain Veneers with our CEREC CAD/CAM system, with which we can make all-porcelain crowns, onlays, and veneers in just 1 visit. She was thrilled when we finished and she looked in the mirror the first time! Her smile in these portraits really says it all, though, don't you think? And somehow I'm guessing her smile will be a tremendous asset in her modeling, based on these photos from the Complimentary Portrait Session that is included with every SmilesbyPayet Smile Makeover, whether with Six-Month Braces or Cosmetic Dentistry. If you're not happy about your smile and want to smile like Caroline, call 704-364-7069 or Request an Appointment Online Today!
