If you've been thinking about improving your smile but aren't sure where to start, a cosmetic dentistry consultation is the right first step — and it's far less intimidating than most people expect. At FORME Dental, we designed our consultation process to be informative, pressure-free, and genuinely useful.
Before You Arrive
You don't need to come in with a fully formed plan. Many patients arrive simply knowing that something feels off about their smile. Our office is at 575 Madison Ave, Suite 1503, in Midtown Manhattan. The space is intentionally calm: no harsh overhead lighting, no clinical smell, no waiting room anxiety.
The First 10 Minutes
We start with a conversation — not a clipboard. We want to understand what's been on your mind about your smile and what outcome would feel meaningful to you. This isn't just pleasantries; it's the foundation of a treatment plan that actually fits your life.
The Clinical Assessment
After we understand your goals, we take a comprehensive look at your teeth, bite, and gum health. This includes digital X-rays if needed and a digital scan of your mouth. For patients interested in Invisalign or a full smile makeover, we use digital treatment planning software to give you a visual preview of potential outcomes.
The Treatment Discussion
We walk you through the options that make the most sense for your situation, explain differences clearly, give realistic timelines, and discuss cost and insurance openly. We don't upsell. If a simpler, more conservative approach achieves what you're looking for, that's what we'll recommend.
What Happens After
There's no obligation at the end of the consultation. We follow up with a summary of what we discussed so you have everything in writing. Most patients leave feeling more informed and less anxious than when they arrived — which is exactly the point.
