The Axis Method

See it, wear it, approve it — before we touch a tooth

Most cosmetic dentistry asks you to trust a description. We replace the description with a plan you can see and a trial smile you can wear. Nothing permanent happens until you sign it off.

Scan and capture

Scan & capture

A 3D intra-oral scan, clinical photos and a bite record — no goopy impression trays. About 30 minutes.

Design and preview

Design & preview

We design your smile on the digital model, referenced to your face, and show it to you on screen.

Trial and deliver

Trial & deliver

You wear a trial smile in your own mouth, approve it, and only then do we build the final result.

Plan your smile

Not sure what you need? Start here.

Tell the planner what you're considering and it sequences the treatments the right way — straighten, whiten, restore — then estimates the timeline, the number of visits and the cost. No email required.

Tool
Smile Timeline Planner
Pick what you're considering — we'll sequence it and estimate the timeline, visits and cost.

Which treatments are you considering?

Order matters: we straighten first, whiten next, and restore last so the shade matches and we remove as little tooth as possible.

Select one or more treatments to build your timeline.

Replacing a tooth?

Implant, bridge, denture or full-arch — see them side by side

There is rarely one right answer. Our comparator lays out cost, longevity, number of visits and whether it is removable for your exact situation, and our prosthodontist gives a tailored recommendation.

Financing & Smile Club

Make it manageable

Financing via CareCredit / Cherry. Axis is not a lender. Smile Club is a savings plan, not insurance.

In their words

4.9★ from 730+ reviews

★★★★★

"I'd been quoted veneers twice before and both times I panicked because I couldn't picture the result. At Axis I literally wore a trial version of my new smile home for the weekend before I said yes. That changed everything. The final result is so natural my sister didn't notice until I told her."

★★★★★

"Two other places told me I didn't have enough bone. Dr. Reyes scanned me, showed me the plan on the screen, and I walked out the day of surgery with teeth. I'm eating steak again. I didn't think that was going to be my life again."

Marcus T.
All-on-4 · lower arch
★★★★★

"They talked me OUT of veneers, which I did not expect from a cosmetic studio. Aligners and whitening got me exactly what I wanted for a fraction of the cost. I trust them completely because of that."

Good to know

Questions we hear a lot

How much does a smile makeover cost at Axis?
It depends entirely on what your smile needs. Whitening starts at $395, composite bonding from $350 a tooth, porcelain veneers from $1,600 a veneer, and bespoke makeovers from $9,500. The honest answer comes after a 3D Smile Design consult ($150, credited to treatment), where we design your specific result and quote it in writing. Financing over up to 18 months at 0% is available.
Does it hurt, and what if I'm nervous?
Most of our cosmetic work — bonding, whitening, aligners — involves little or no discomfort, and restorative work is done under local anaesthetic with sedation options. We see a lot of anxious patients and have a dedicated approach for them; the 3D preview itself removes much of the fear because you know exactly what is coming.
Will the work look natural?
That is the whole reason the Axis Method exists. We design your smile to your face, show it to you on screen, and let you wear a trial version before we make anything permanent. You approve a natural result first — nothing is a surprise.
How is Axis different from a regular dentist?
We are a digital-first cosmetic studio. Every case is planned in 3D from a scan (and CBCT for implants), designed against your face, and delivered from that plan with guided precision. You see and sign off the result before treatment, which makes the outcome predictable rather than hopeful.
Do you take insurance?
Cosmetic treatment is generally not covered by insurance, but we file for the restorative portions where applicable and offer our own Smile Club savings plan (from $39/month) for patients without insurance. Third-party financing (CareCredit / Cherry) spreads the cost.
How do I start?
Two easy ways: book a 3D Smile Design consult, or start with the Smile Timeline Planner or Tooth-Replacement Comparator on this site to get a feel for your options first. A free 15-minute discovery call is also available.
