When it comes to making investments in your well-being, considering a custom smile design is a decision that can significantly impact your confidence and overall oral health. At Kelley Mingus Dentistry in Bend, Oregon, our dental professionals consistently aim for excellence in creating personalized, bespoke smile makeovers that elevate the aesthetics and function of your teeth.
Understanding the Concept of Custom Smile Design
Custom Smile Design, also referred to as Smile Makeover, is a personalized approach within Cosmetic Dentistry that improves various aspects of your smile. Dr. Kelley Mingus, with an extensive portfolio of successful dental transformations, emphasizes that a custom smile design is not merely about aligning teeth or whitening the enamel. Instead, it is a comprehensive process that involves evaluating your oral health, understanding your aesthetic aspirations, designing treatment plans, and crafting a radiant smile that naturally suits you.
Components of Custom Smile Design
- Consultation: The process begins with a meticulous evaluation taking into account your dental needs, desired results, and health history.
- Examination: A comprehensive dental examination explores your teeth condition, gum health, bite, oral structures, and even your facial features.
- Design: Based on these findings, Dr. Mingus devises a custom-tailored treatment plan integrating various dental procedures.
- Treatment: The plan might include teeth whitening, dental veneers, gum contouring, orthodontics, full mouth rehabilitation, metal-free restorations, and more based on the personalized requirement.
Compelling Reasons to Opt for Custom Smile Design
Boosts Self-confidence
An attractive, healthy smile goes a long way in enhancing one’s confidence – be it in social interactions or professional scenarios. The transformation testimonies of our patients, like Michael, who opted for Porcelain Veneers with Dr. Mingus to appear more professional during his video conferences, are a testament to the confidence boost custom smile designs provide.
Improves Oral Health
Custom smile design is not just an aesthetic enhancement. Dr. Mingus’ approach ensures optimal oral health by addressing underlying dental issues. Procedures like root canal therapy or orthodontics integrated into the smile makeover plan restore health while enhancing appearance.
Personalized Aesthetics
At Kelley Mingus Dentistry, the custom smile design isn’t about imposing a standard ‘Hollywood Smile’. Instead, Dr. Mingus designs smiles complementing your facial features, mouth shape, and even personality! This leads to natural-looking outcomes that simply amplify your originality.
Accelerates Comprehensive Rehabilitation
Simultaneously addressing multiple dental issues with a custom smile design, instead of undergoing individual treatments, can expedite your journey towards comprehensive oral rehabilitation.

Epigenetic Orthodontics
A revolutionary approach in orthodontics, Epigenetic Orthodontics focuses not just on aligning teeth but also rectifies underlying issues related to jaw development and muscle function. With a comprehensive evaluation and application of removable oral appliances, we aim to guide the natural growth and development of jaws, leading to an enhanced aesthetic appeal and functionality of the smile.
Neuromuscular Dentistry
At Kelley Mingus Dentistry, we understand the interconnectedness of your oral structures. Following Neuromuscular Dentistry principles, we view your teeth, jaw joints, and facial muscles as an integrated system. Techniques like orthodontic appliances guide your jaw into an optimal alignment and variance in teeth positions, ensuring that your beautiful smile also functions efficiently.
Non-metal Restorations
To ensure your custom smile design aligns with a holistic oral health approach, Dr. Mingus provides metal-free restorations. These alternatives to metal amalgam fillings, crowns, and dental bridges improve cosmetics, are biocompatible, and safer for your overall health.
Effective TMJ and Sleep Apnea Treatments
Dr. Mingus provides comprehensive TMJ disorder treatments using non-surgical, non-invasive Neuromuscular Dentistry techniques. Similarly, for sleep apnea, a condition often interlinked with dental issues, he ensures efficient treatments are a part of the smile design process when needed.
