Read her full story →A bespoke, three appointment journey where science, artistry, and intuition merge to create your most authentic smile.
With the Dr. Pia Method, you get a custom designed smile and a three step process to “test drive” the results before finalizing.
Appointment 1: The Vision
Your journey begins with a 90-minute consultation. Dr. Pia invites you to bring photographs of smiles you admire. Together, you will study these inspirations and discuss what resonates with you.
Dr. Pia then conducts a full facial and dental analysis - assessing balance, symmetry, and proportion. Using her artistic sculpting techniques, she hand crafts a “trial smile” directly onto your natural teeth. You’ll wear this temporary smile as a test drive, giving you the opportunity to experience how it feels, looks, and lives in your face before your final restoration is made.


Appointment 2: The Refinement
After you have lived with your smile, you will return with feedback on its size, shape, and color. Dr. Pia will design a highly precise plan for your new smile. Your teeth are prepared, impressions are taken, and you will receive a second set of refined temporaries - these close-to-final prototypes will allow you to preview your final results with remarkable accuracy.
Appointment 3: The Masterpiece
At your final appointment, the refined temporaries are removed, and your custom porcelain veneers and/or crowns are placed. Dr. Pia makes meticulous refinements in real time to ensure absolute harmony with your features. Once you are fully satisfied, your new smile will be revealed as authentic, radiant, and uniquely yours.
The Finishing Touch
Dr. Pia recommends a follow up visit to ensure your smile settles seamlessly and to make any minor enhancements. The result is more than cosmetic; it is your story, expressed through artistry, precision, and perfection.

A bespoke three appointment journey where science, artistry and intuition merge to create your most authentic smile. What makes it different from a conventional veneer case is that you test drive the result before anything permanent happens.
Yes, and twice. At the first appointment Dr. Pia hand crafts a trial smile directly onto your natural teeth using her sculpting technique, so you can experience how it looks, feels and lives in your face before any permanent change is made. At the second you receive refined temporaries, near perfect prototypes that preview the final result with remarkable accuracy.
Three, plus a follow up. Appointment one is the vision, appointment two is the refinement, and appointment three places the final porcelain. Dr. Pia then recommends a follow up visit so the smile settles seamlessly and any minor enhancements can be made.
A 90 minute consultation. You are invited to bring photographs of smiles you admire, from celebrities or from people in your own life, and you study them together to work out what actually resonates with you. Dr. Pia then conducts a full facial and dental analysis, assessing balance, symmetry and proportion, and hand crafts the trial smile.
That is what the second appointment is for. You return having lived with the trial smile, with feedback on its size, shape and colour, and that feedback shapes the precise plan for the permanent smile. Changing your mind is built into the sequence rather than treated as a problem.
No. The final appointment places custom porcelain veneers and crowns, whichever the case calls for, with meticulous refinements made in real time to ensure harmony with your features. The method governs how the treatment is sequenced and previewed rather than dictating which restoration is used.
