Tell Us What You'd Like to Change - We'll Show you What's Possible
Your smile is one of the first things people notice — and one of the last things most people feel confident about. Whether it’s the color of your teeth, the shape, gaps, crowding, missing teeth, a gummy smile, or simply years of wear and tear that have left your teeth looking older than you feel — there is almost always something we can do. The question is figuring out exactly what that is for your specific situation.
That’s what a smile analysis is for. Submit a few photos of your smile by email, tell us what’s bothering you, and Dr. Barkhordar will personally review your case and respond with a clear, honest assessment of your options — what’s possible, what would make the biggest difference, and what the process would look like. No pressure, no commitment, no cost.
What We Evaluate
Every smile analysis looks at the full picture — not just the color of your teeth, but everything that affects how your smile looks and functions:
Color & Brightness — Are your teeth stained, yellowed, or uneven in shade? Professional whitening, veneers, or crowns can dramatically improve color in ways over-the-counter products simply can’t match.
Shape & Size — Are your teeth short, worn down, chipped, or misshapen? Dental bonding, veneers, and crowns restore natural-looking shape and proportion.
Alignment & Spacing — Do you have crowding, gaps, or teeth that are rotated or protruding? Invisalign, SureSmile, and ClearCorrect can move teeth into proper alignment discreetly and comfortably.
Missing Teeth — One or more missing teeth affect not just the appearance of your smile but the health of your jawbone and surrounding teeth. Dental implants, implant-supported bridges, and full arch restorations replace missing teeth permanently.
Gum Line — A gummy smile, uneven gum line, or gum recession can significantly affect how your smile looks. Gum contouring, crown lengthening, and soft tissue grafting address these concerns precisely.
Overall Harmony — Sometimes individual teeth look fine but the smile as a whole feels off — teeth that are too small or large for your face, a bite that has collapsed, or asymmetry that draws the eye. Full mouth reconstruction addresses all of these together.
What Happens After You Submit
Step 1 — You submit your photos and tell us what’s bothering you. Two to three photos work best — a straight-on smile, a slight angle, and one showing your full face. Tell us in your own words what you’d like to change. There are no wrong answers.
Step 2 — Dr. Barkhordar personally reviews your case. This isn’t a computer algorithm or an automated response. Dr. Barkhordar reviews every submission personally and identifies which options are most appropriate for your specific situation.
Step 3 — We respond with your options. We’ll contact you — by phone or email, whichever you prefer — with a clear overview of what we see and what we’d recommend. We’ll explain the process, the timeline, and what to expect, so you can make an informed decision with no pressure.
Step 4 — You decide what happens next. If you’d like to move forward, we schedule a consultation. If you need more time to think, that’s completely fine. There is no obligation and no hard sell — just honest information so you can make the right choice for yourself.

Who Is a Smile Analysis For?
A smile analysis is for anyone who has looked in the mirror and thought — I wish my smile looked different. You don’t need to know what treatment you want or even what’s specifically wrong. You just need to know something isn’t right, and you’d like an honest professional opinion on what can be done about it.
It’s particularly useful if you:
- Have been thinking about cosmetic dental treatment but don’t know where to start
- Want to know whether veneers, whitening, or Invisalign is the right fit for your situation
- Are considering a smile makeover before a major life event — a wedding, reunion, or career change
- Have a specific concern you’ve been self-conscious about for years and finally want to address
- Have been told by another dentist that something isn’t possible and want a second opinion
