For Razi, transforming his smile wasn’t about completing a single dental procedure. It was about finding one dental team that could understand the bigger picture and coordinate every stage of his care.
His treatment journey at 1Smile Dental in Schererville included Invisalign clear aligner treatment, custom porcelain veneers, comprehensive restorative dentistry and full mouth rehabilitation, with prosthodontic expertise incorporated into his treatment planning.
Instead of traveling between multiple dental offices and independently coordinating different providers, Razi was able to have the different phases of his treatment planned through one comprehensive dental practice.
In his testimonial, Razi explains why that continuity of care became such an important part of his experience.
Complex dental treatment often involves more than one area of dentistry.
A patient may need orthodontic treatment to improve tooth position before beginning cosmetic or restorative dentistry. Other cases may involve veneers, crowns, dental implants, bite rehabilitation, oral surgery or treatment planning with a prosthodontist.
Traditionally, that can mean referrals to several different practices.
For Razi, one of the advantages of choosing 1Smile Dental was being able to bring these different aspects of treatment together.
His care could be planned comprehensively so that each stage of treatment supported the next phase and the overall objective for his smile.
Rather than treating individual dental concerns independently, the team could evaluate his teeth, alignment, bite, function and esthetic goals as parts of the same treatment plan.
Razi’s treatment included Invisalign clear aligners as part of his broader smile transformation.
In comprehensive restorative cases, tooth position can influence both the appearance and function of the final restorations. Correcting alignment before beginning restorative treatment may therefore create a more favorable foundation for the next phase of care.
Rather than approaching Invisalign as an isolated treatment, orthodontic movement can sometimes be incorporated into a larger cosmetic and restorative plan.
For appropriate patients, moving the natural teeth into better positions first may also allow the restorative team to take a more conservative approach when designing subsequent veneers or crowns.
The specific sequence depends on the patient’s teeth, bite and overall treatment objectives.
After establishing the appropriate tooth position and alignment, Razi’s treatment progressed into cosmetic and restorative dentistry, including custom porcelain veneers.
Veneers can be used to address concerns involving tooth shape, proportions, spacing, discoloration and overall smile design.
At 1Smile Dental, veneer treatment is planned around more than appearance alone.
The relationship between the restorations, natural teeth and bite must also be considered. This becomes especially important when veneers are incorporated into a more extensive smile rehabilitation.
The objective is not simply to create attractive individual teeth. The goal is to create restorations that work together aesthetically and functionally within the patient's complete smile.
Razi’s treatment ultimately became part of a larger full mouth rehabilitation.
Full mouth rehabilitation—also commonly called full mouth reconstruction—is not one specific dental procedure.
Instead, it is a comprehensive approach to restoring multiple teeth while considering how the teeth, restorations, bite and smile function together.
Depending on the individual patient, treatment may incorporate:
Not every patient requires every procedure, and not every tooth necessarily requires treatment.
The purpose of comprehensive treatment planning is to determine what each individual tooth requires while designing the mouth to function as a complete system.
For Razi, that meant creating one coordinated treatment sequence rather than completing a collection of unrelated dental procedures.
Another important part of Razi’s experience was the involvement of a prosthodontist.
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist with advanced training in restoring and replacing teeth. Prosthodontic training is particularly relevant to complex restorative dentistry, dental implants, extensive smile reconstruction, occlusion and full mouth rehabilitation.
When numerous teeth are being restored, one of the challenges is determining how all of those restorations will function together.
The bite, tooth position, restorative materials, esthetics and long-term treatment plan all need to be considered.
At 1Smile Dental, prosthodontic expertise can be integrated with the other phases of a patient's care rather than requiring the patient to independently coordinate treatment between unrelated practices.
For patients such as Razi, this allows orthodontic, cosmetic and restorative treatment to be viewed as parts of one comprehensive plan.
One of the central themes of Razi’s testimonial is simple: he did not want to spend his treatment journey running between multiple dental offices.
Patients with complex dental needs may otherwise find themselves visiting one office for Invisalign, another for cosmetic dentistry, another specialist for prosthodontic treatment and potentially another provider for surgical care.
In addition to the inconvenience, fragmented treatment can require communication and coordination between multiple independent practices.
A comprehensive dental practice provides another approach.
Different phases of treatment can be planned around a shared objective, with each phase taking the next phase into consideration.
For Razi, this meant spending less time coordinating different offices and having a team familiar with his complete treatment journey—from Invisalign and tooth positioning through veneers and comprehensive rehabilitation.
In complex restorative dentistry, the order in which treatment is completed can be just as important as the individual procedures themselves.
For example, placing veneers before correcting significant tooth-position problems could potentially change how much natural tooth structure needs to be altered.
Similarly, extensive restorative treatment should consider how the upper and lower teeth contact each other before the final restorations are designed.
A comprehensive plan can therefore establish the appropriate sequence:
Alignment → bite and restorative planning → provisional design when indicated → definitive restorations → long-term maintenance.
The actual sequence varies for every patient.
Razi’s experience demonstrates why comprehensive planning matters when Invisalign, cosmetic dentistry and full mouth rehabilitation are all being considered.

In his video, Razi describes his experience undergoing comprehensive dental treatment at 1Smile Dental and why having the different aspects of his care coordinated in one office mattered to him.
His journey included Invisalign, porcelain veneers, full mouth rehabilitation and the involvement of a prosthodontist.
More importantly, his experience illustrates how multiple phases of dentistry can be planned around one overall objective rather than approached as isolated procedures.

If you have multiple concerns about your smile, you do not necessarily need to determine which individual dental procedure you need before scheduling an appointment.
A comprehensive evaluation allows the dental team to assess your teeth, tooth position, bite, smile and long-term restorative needs before recommending a treatment sequence.
For some patients, treatment may be relatively straightforward.
For others, achieving the desired result may involve several areas of dentistry working together.
At 1Smile Dental, the objective is to develop a coordinated plan that makes sense from the initial evaluation through the final restoration.
1Smile Dental is located in Schererville, Indiana and welcomes patients from throughout Northwest Indiana and the greater Chicago area.

Yes. In appropriate cases, Invisalign treatment may be completed before veneers or other restorations. Moving the teeth into more favorable positions can create a better foundation for subsequent cosmetic treatment. Whether this sequence is appropriate depends on the individual patient's teeth, bite and treatment goals.
Orthodontically repositioning the teeth before restorative treatment may improve alignment and create more favorable tooth positions for the final restorations. In some cases, this can also allow for more conservative preparation of the natural teeth. The appropriate approach depends on the individual case.
Full mouth rehabilitation is comprehensive dental treatment intended to restore multiple teeth while considering oral health, function, bite and appearance. Treatment may involve crowns, veneers, implants, orthodontics, bridges or other procedures depending on the patient's needs.
The terms full mouth rehabilitation and full mouth reconstruction are commonly used to describe similar comprehensive treatment concepts. Both generally involve restoring or replacing multiple teeth as part of an integrated treatment plan.
A prosthodontist has advanced specialty training in restoring and replacing teeth. This expertise can be particularly relevant when treatment involves numerous restorations, changes to the bite, dental implants or extensive reconstruction.
Yes. Porcelain veneers may be incorporated into a full mouth rehabilitation when appropriate for specific teeth. Other teeth may require crowns, implants or no restorative treatment at all. Treatment should be based on the condition and needs of each individual tooth.
Not necessarily. A comprehensive dental practice may be able to coordinate multiple phases of treatment within the same practice. This is one of the aspects of his experience that Razi discusses in his testimonial.
