For thirty years, Dr. Gore has been quietly building the kind of cosmetic practice you hear about from other patients. Now you've heard about it.

As recognized by
The GOREgeous approach

Cosmetic dentistry done four ways at once.

Every case follows the same four steps. They are unglamorous and they are why the work lasts.

01 / Listen

Plan with the patient.

Before any treatment is designed, we map what you want your smile to do for you. Confidence, balance, function. Not what we think looks nice.

02 / Design

Build it digitally first.

3D imaging, CEREC scanning, and digital smile design lock the result before a tooth is touched. You see it. You sign off on it.

03 / Make

Place every restoration in house.

CEREC mills crowns chairside in a single visit. SprintRay prints aligner models on site. We do not subcontract the work that defines the result.

04 / Verify

Confirm before commit.

Test-drive previews and try-in restorations let you see the finished smile in your mouth before anything is permanent.

The AACD Accreditation

Fewer than 400 dentists worldwide hold it. Two of them are in Arizona.

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry's Accreditation is the most rigorous credential in cosmetic dentistry: years of post-doctoral study, a portfolio of completed clinical cases, and an oral exam before the Academy's senior accredited members. Dr. Gore is one of them.

The Signature Smile Makeover

Designed digitally. Verified in your mouth. Then placed.

Most cosmetic practices skip the verification step. We don't. Before the final restoration is fabricated, you wear a try-in version of the design. You see the new smile in your face, in your mouth, in your mirror. Only when it is right does it become permanent.

Dr. Gore's philosophy

What makes a smile beautiful is not always what you think.

Four principles Dr. Gore returns to on every case.

Dr. Rod Gore in the Scottsdale operatory
Proportion matters more than perfection.
A "perfect" smile that's wrong for your face reads as fake. We design to your facial proportions first, then to dental ideals second. The goal is a smile that looks like it belongs to you.
Color is harder than shape.
Veneers fail aesthetically far more often from wrong shade than wrong contour. We use shade-mapping and lab-side artistry to match color to your skin tone, eye color, and surrounding natural teeth.
Function is non-negotiable.
A beautiful smile that doesn't bite right will not last. Every cosmetic plan starts with a functional assessment of how your teeth meet. We design for the way your mouth actually works.
Restraint is a feature.
Most patients want a smile they're not self-conscious about. They don't want a Hollywood smile that announces itself. The best cosmetic dentistry is the work you don't notice.
What to expect

From the first visit to the finished smile.

01

Consultation

Free in-person or virtual. We listen first, exam second. No pressure, no quotes on day one.

02

Digital Design

03

Treatment Plan

You see the steps, the timeline, and the cost in writing. Membership and financing options included.

04

05

Try-In & Verify

For cosmetic cases, you wear the design before it becomes permanent. Adjust until it's right.

06

Maintenance

Membership plan covers cleanings, exams, and check-ups. The work is built to last decades, not years.

How much does a smile makeover cost?
It depends on what your case needs. Most cosmetic plans fall between $5,000 and $40,000 depending on the number of teeth involved and whether the work is veneers, bonding, alignment, or a combination. The free virtual consult gives you a rough range before you commit to anything.
Does it hurt?
Cosmetic dentistry is almost always painless. Restorative work that involves the tooth's nerve is done under local anesthesia. For anxious patients, we offer sedation options. Most patients describe the experience as easier than they expected.
How long does a smile makeover take?
A simple cosmetic case can finish in two visits over two weeks. Comprehensive cases with veneers, implants, and alignment can take six to twelve months staged in phases. Same-day crowns take one visit. The treatment plan you receive in your consultation will show exact timing for your case.
Veneers, bonding, or aligners: which is right for me?
It depends on whether you're correcting color, shape, position, or all three. Bonding is conservative and reversible. Veneers are permanent and durable. Aligners change tooth position. Often the right plan combines two. The digital smile design phase shows you the options side by side before you commit.
Do you accept insurance?
We accept most major dental insurance and currently accept Guardian Insurance directly. For patients without insurance, the GOREgeous Membership Plan covers preventive care and unlocks 20% off most treatments. We provide cost estimates in writing before any work begins.
Can the crown really be done same day?
Yes. CEREC technology scans your tooth, designs the crown digitally, and mills it from a porcelain block in the office. The whole process takes about two hours. No temporary crown, no second appointment, no follow-up adjustment.
