“My experience with TDC has been exceptional every time I have gone. Everyone is very genuine and sincere. Going to the dentist can be scary, but having people be so personable and sweet makes all the nerves go away. I would definitely recommend this place. It feels like home.”
How does a “test drive” work?
A smile test drive gives you the opportunity to preview your future smile before moving forward with the final design. During this experience, Dr. McCulla layers material directly over your teeth to create a real-time preview of the shape, length, and overall look of your new smile.
For many guests, it is the first time they truly see what’s possible. You’ll have the chance to look in the mirror, take photos, show loved ones, and share feedback while Dr. McCulla refines the details alongside you. The test drive often becomes the foundation for the temporary and final smile design moving forward.
