Want it brighter and even - but not obvious?
A good masculine smile makeover is one nobody can point to. The goal isn't blinding white or oversized teeth - it's defined, symmetrical proportions that still look like you. And if you're traveling in, the work can often be concentrated into fewer visits. If that's the result you want, send us a photo.
- A call within two hours during office hours.
- A written cost from us, before you commit to anything.
- No obligation. Many patients take weeks to decide. That is normal.

Treatment Plan by Dr. Mehdizadeh

- Implant placement (lower left molar)
- Smile design
- Upper and lower temporary veneers, test-driven and revised
- Ten upper and ten lower porcelain veneers (permanent)
The Patient's Journey
This patient wanted a brighter, more symmetrical smile with one firm condition: it had to look natural and masculine, never obviously done. He also had a decayed upper molar and a missing lower molar that needed attention - and he was traveling, so time was tight.
A masculine makeover succeeds when no one can tell it happened. Defined, not flashy. Even, not oversized.
Understanding the Challenge
Two goals had to be met at once: function and appearance. On the function side, a decayed upper molar needed to be cleaned out and rebuilt, and a missing lower molar needed replacing to keep the bite sound. On the appearance side, the design had to add brightness and symmetry without the bulky, over-white look that reads as fake. And all of the front-loaded work had to fit into a compressed, travel-friendly schedule.
Initial Findings
Chipped, uneven upper and lower teeth; decay in an upper right molar; a missing lower left molar; a clear request for a natural, masculine, understated result.
The Treatment Sequence
On the first visit, over four days, we cleaned and performed a gum lift, removed the decay in the upper molar (later restored with an inlay), placed an implant for the missing lower molar, designed the smile, and delivered upper and lower temporary veneers. He test-drove the temporaries and we revised them to his preferences before anything permanent was made. About twelve weeks later, once the implant had integrated, he returned for his permanent porcelain veneers.
The Result
A smile that's noticeably whiter and more symmetrical yet still entirely natural - with the bite rebuilt at the same time. Subtle, refined, and exactly the understated change he asked for.
Frequently Asked Questions About Masculine Veneers
What makes a smile look masculine?
Well-defined angles, slightly flatter edges, and balanced proportions - rather than very rounded, very white, or oversized teeth.
Can dental work like this be done if I'm traveling?
Often yes. The design, temporaries, and any surgery can be concentrated into a first visit, with a return trip for the permanent teeth once healing is complete.
Why place an implant and do veneers together?
They solve different problems - the implant restores a missing tooth and protects the bite, while veneers refine the appearance of the smile.
What is a dental inlay?
A custom restoration that fits into a tooth to rebuild its biting surface after decay is removed - a conservative alternative to a full crown.
Why test-drive temporary veneers?
They let you see and adjust the shape, size, and shade before the permanent veneers are made.
How long did the whole process take?
About thirteen weeks overall, with the bulk of the hands-on work done in the first visit and the permanent teeth delivered after the implant healed.
Will people be able to tell?
That's precisely what the design avoids - the result is meant to look like a healthier version of your own smile.
