“We want to understand your smile story before we ever talk about treatment. This is a genuine conversation — not a sales pitch.”

— Dr. Larry Dougherty, DDS

How It Works

From Scheduling to Your Smile Plan

Four simple steps, whether you start from home or in our office.

Choose How to Start

Start your virtual consult online in a few minutes, or call or book online to visit our office. You’ll get a confirmation with everything you need.

Smile Photos

Virtual patients: upload a close-up smile selfie and share what you’d like to change. In-office patients: we’ll take your photos when you get here, so there’s no prep needed.

↓ See our photo tips below

Get Your Personal Consult

Virtual patients get a personal video from Dr. Dougherty with your options and costs, to watch whenever you like. In-office patients sit down with Dr. Dougherty face to face to talk through your goals, timeline, and budget.

Get Your Next Steps

If we’re a great fit, we’ll invite you in for a comprehensive New Patient Exam and X-rays so Dr. Dougherty can build a personalized treatment plan just for you.

For Virtual Consultations

Take a Great Smile Selfie

When you start your virtual consult, Smile Virtual will ask for a close-up smile photo. These tips help Dr. Dougherty see everything he needs to record your video.

Straight-On Smile

Face the camera directly and smile naturally, showing your teeth.

Close-Up Front

Hold your phone close in good light so your front teeth fill the frame. This helps with detail and color.

Your Area of Concern

If a certain tooth or spot bothers you, make sure it’s easy to see. You can tell us about it when you upload.

Virtual patients, how to send

Upload your photo right in Smile Virtual when you sign up. There’s nothing to text or email. Start your virtual consult.

In-office patients

No need to send anything in advance. Our team will photograph your smile right here in the office using our professional equipment — you just show up.

Start From Home

Your Free Virtual Consult, Step by Step

Send a smile photo from your phone and Dr. Dougherty will record a personal video with your options and what treatment would cost. It only takes a few minutes, with no charge and no pressure.

Prefer to meet in person? Call (210) 880-4120 or schedule online.
