Whether you book at Apa Aesthetic in New York or in Los Angeles, your first consultation with me looks the same. It is ninety minutes, and most of it is a conversation.
You don’t need to know what you want
You do not need to diagnose yourself before you come in. That is my job. Your job is to tell me what you notice, what you want to keep, and what you hope will feel different.
"I want veneers" describes a treatment. "I avoid smiling from one side in photos" describes the problem, and that is the part I need to hear. Old photos of your own smile help too.
We talk first
We start with your dental history, your medical history, the mouth you have and the one you want.
I also want to know what you like about your smile now. Knowing what to preserve matters as much as knowing what to change.
Then I examine
I look at your teeth, your gums and your bite. We take x-rays, 3D scans and photos, so we have a clear record of where you are starting.
What you leave with at Apa Aesthetic
By the end, you will have an honest answer from me about what is possible, what isn’t, and what I would actually recommend.
Every smile is custom. The process behind it isn’t, which is why the consultation is the same in both offices. If you want to see what comes after it, read my guide to porcelain veneers in Beverly Hills. I work between both practices: I’m based in Los Angeles and take one trip a month to our New York office.
