A New Smile, a Familiar Face: Hannah’s Smile Makeover with Vero Dental

From Trauma to Insecurity

“My name is Hannah. I’m a mom of three girls, and I got my dream smile at Vero Dental.”

For Hannah, the journey to a new smile began long before she ever walked into Vero Dental. Over a decade ago, she experienced a traumatic accident: “Like 11 years ago, I fainted on a concrete floor and knocked my front four teeth out. They were hanging.”

The damage was severe, and the emotional toll wasn’t far behind. Her dentist at the time placed veneers to repair the damage. While they were a welcome solution in the moment, they weren’t quite the right fit long-term.

“They were fine for the time,” Hannah shared. “But they just started to feel like they looked unnatural. They were different colors from my other teeth, and I just started to feel insecure about that.”

Even though her original veneers served their purpose, something wasn’t sitting right. They looked like a patch, not a permanent part of her. She wanted her smile to feel like her again.

Why She Chose Vero Dental

Hannah had been through the smile makeover process once, and she wasn’t going to go through it again without doing her research.

“My old work was just… the dentist decided everything. He picked the shape and the color that he thought went best with my original teeth,” she explained. “This new work, I feel like, was really tailored to me—to enhancing my natural features.”

That difference in approach made all the difference.

“Alex took a lot of time and a lot of care doing my smile,” she said. “He was just really thorough.”

One of the first things that stood out to Hannah during her consultations was Vero’s use of high-end technology.

“The technology was crazy,” she laughed. “He took his time and took so many pictures. We talked a lot about what shape would be good for my smile. I just felt like I was in really good hands.”

Whereas her first veneers had felt clinical and impersonal, this time it felt like she was part of the process. Alex didn’t just recommend a smile—he co-created it with her.

“He’s super caring and just thorough,” Hannah said. “And he knows what he’s doing.”

A Treatment Experience Built on Trust

From the beginning, the team at Vero made Hannah feel seen. “It wasn’t about giving me a generic smile,” she recalled. “It was about enhancing what was already there.”

This wasn’t just a veneer replacement. It was about rebuilding confidence and restoring a part of her identity that had been shaken by years of uncertainty.

“They still look really natural,” Hannah said, smiling. “I still look like myself—just way better.”

That sense of familiarity was important. She didn’t want a smile that drew attention to itself for the wrong reasons. She wanted people to see her—not her dental work.

“I’ve always had a big smile,” she said. “And it just feels good to not wonder, ‘Do my teeth look gray in this lighting?’”

The Impact of a Confident Smile

Hannah’s new smile isn’t loud or showy—but it is powerful.

“There’s a big difference between a smile that’s just fine and a smile that makes you feel confident,” she said. “Feeling like you have a really good quality smile makes a big difference.”

It’s not just a cosmetic change—it’s emotional.

“I feel like people see your smile first. It’s the first thing they notice when they meet you,” she explained. “So it’s just nice to feel like you can be more confident.”

That confidence doesn’t just change how others see her. It changes how she sees herself.

Looking back on photos from before the transformation, Hannah realized something unexpected.

“I look at old pictures and I wasn’t smiling,” she said. “And I didn’t even notice it at the time. But I think subconsciously I was hiding my teeth.”

She paused. “It kind of makes me sad when I see those photos.”

That sadness, though, only makes the joy of her new smile feel even more profound.

More Than Just Cosmetic

For Hannah, the difference between her first and second set of veneers was more than just materials or technique—it was intention.

Her first veneers were a reaction to trauma. Her new ones are an expression of self-love.

“They’re the teeth I should’ve had,” she said. “Maybe even the teeth I used to have 20 years ago.”

The new smile didn’t change who Hannah was—it gave her the freedom to be who she already was, without reservation or self-doubt.

“I don’t have to second guess how I look,” she said. “I can smile freely. I can just be me.”
