Your smile analysis will combine the latest technologies with our many years of experience in providing gentle care, ensuring that you receive the personalized treatments that you need to enjoy a beautiful smile for years to come. For more information on smile analysis in Plainsboro, New Jersey, and to schedule your appointment with Dr. Priti Dagli, please contact us at 609-716-7100.

Smile analysis begins with an examination of your face, followed by an evaluation of your individual teeth. After determining your needs, our dentist will discuss your treatment options, as well as the materials that can be used when providing those treatments. We not only want to ensure that your teeth and smile are beautiful, but also that your facial esthetics are well balanced to provide you with an overall improvement in your appearance.

To help you determine if you should visit our dentist for a smile analysis, we have provided the following list of questions for a self-analysis. If, after going through these questions, you find multiple areas where you are dissatisfied with your smile or your oral health, we encourage you to contact our office to schedule your smile analysis with our dentist.
