What is a trial smile?
Test drive your new smile before you commit at Musselman Dentistry in Phoenix
Are you looking for a smile upgrade but are having trouble envisioning the results? At Musselman Dentistry in Phoenix, you don’t have to guess — you can try on your future smile before any permanent dental work begins.
Before your work begins, Dr. Musselman will create a realistic, custom smile preview that you can wear in your mouth. This gives you the confidence to move forward knowing exactly how your new smile will look.
What Is a Trial Smile?
A trial smile is a temporary, non-permanent mockup of your future cosmetic dental treatment — made from temporary crown material — that fits over your existing teeth. It lets you see and feel what your new smile will be like before any veneers, crowns, or bonding are placed.
At Musselman Dentistry in Phoenix, AZ, Dr. Musselman uses digital smile design and high-precision modeling to create a natural-looking preview tailored specifically to your facial features and aesthetic goals.

She said “I want my smile to pop!” and let us do the rest. Minimal prep porcelain veneers gave her a broader and brighter smile. Recently she was stopped in Las Vegas by a woman who told her she had “the most beautiful smile in the world!”
She was tired of watching her teeth get darker by the day. We were able to fix some cavities and bite issues on the way to restoring her beautiful smile with crowns and veneers.
He had been having patchwork dentistry done for years. When he finally decided to fix things the right way, he came to us. After a thorough workup, we decided to reshape the gumline areas before fixing the teeth with a combination of crowns, veneers, and implants.
His wedding day was approaching, and he still had the microdonts (small teeth) he was born with. He didn’t like the spacing, and the various repairs done on them over time were not worthy of his wedding photos. A local specialist referred him to us, and we fixed the front four teeth with crowns.

Uneven wear, failing bondings, slight gaps and rotated teeth are all good reasons she had for upgrading her smile. We solved these problems with a smile makeover of minimal prep porcelain veneers.
A brighter smile is what she wanted, but that wasn’t what was really bothering her. The crowded lower front teeth were wearing a pattern into the edges of her upper front teeth. We were able to artificially straighten her teeth and give her a beautifully-shaped, brighter smile.
A lime-sucking habit is what caused the acidic damage to his front teeth, and he sought our help just in time. These teeth were almost unable to be restored, but we were able to adjust his bite and restore the teeth with crowns.
“I like the shape of my teeth, but they are getting darker, and the whitening gel is not working as well as I’d like.” We brightened her smile with minimal prep porcelain veneers and fixed a bite issue as well.

He wanted to restore his teeth after years of uneven wear and darkening. He did not want his teeth to look unnatural, so we went with a natural shade that has less gray in it. When we finished, he got new clothes and a new haircut to match!
She noticed her teeth slowly collapsing inward, as well as the multitude of shades in her smile. She wanted a broader, more uniform smile, but wanted it to look natural. She is very happy with her new porcelain veneers.
She wanted straight teeth without going through Invisalign. After careful analysis and preparation, we were able to artificially straighten the teeth using porcelain veneers. She loves how natural they look!
Substance abuse almost ruined his front teeth beyond repair. After cleaning out the cavities and restoring the teeth with crowns, he has been getting promotion after promotion at work.
He wanted his smile to pop in bright white. Shortly after his porcelain veneers were placed, he met the girl of his dreams.
He wanted to get rid of the gaps and get a brighter smile. After Invisalign treatment to close the gaps on the bottom, we used porcelain veneers to bring back a light, yet natural look.
