Fairfax, Vienna, Arlington, and Washington, D.C. — Smile Makeover and Reconstruction
A beautiful smile doesn’t just improve self-esteem: studies show that it can also have a strong effect on social and career success. When a person’s smile is the best it can be, people notice it. D. Gordon Rye, D.D.S. and his team at Rye Smiles for Life can help you achieve a more perfect smile by utilizing the concept of the Golden Proportion. Patients from throughout Virginia, including Vienna, Arlington, and Washington, D.C., visit our Fairfax practice for outstanding smile makeover and reconstruction results by Dr. Rye.
Smile Makeover
While a beautiful smile is one of the most important contributors to making a positive and powerful first impression, it is also one of the most neglected when people seek to improve their appearance. A smile makeover can make anyone feel more confident, and the effects are often nothing short of dramatic. Visit the Rye Smile Gallery to read testimonials from some of Dr. Rye’s patients.
At Dr. D. Gordon Rye’s practice in Fairfax, near Vienna, a smile makeover may involve several cosmetic dental procedures. For example, Dr. Rye can combine teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and gum re-contouring to achieve a healthier and brighter smile. He may also use Invisalign® invisible orthodontics to straighten the teeth. Even small changes, such as replacing metal fillings with natural-looking, tooth-colored fillings, can have a dramatic effect. Thanks to sedation dentistry, Dr. Rye is often able to complete multiple smile makeover procedures during a single visit while the patient remains comfortable and relaxed.
Patients of our Fairfax practice come from the Arlington / Washington D.C. area for the exceptional smile makeover results that Dr. Rye consistently achieves.

Designing an Ideal Smile Makeover
We believe our patients should live life to the fullest and look their best doing it. You have chosen the right hairstyle and most flattering clothes, and these things about your appearance tell people about you. Yet, your appearance is probably most impacted by your smile, and just as you choose a hairstyle and wardrobe, you can choose the attractive smile you have always wanted. A properly designed smile makeover can help you achieve such a smile.
The Golden Proportion
We design smiles with features that help our patients appear more youthful, healthy and attractive. Using knowledge of anatomy, function, and your aesthetic requirements, we can redesign your smile with tooth color, shape, and relative lengths which produce the smile that is you at your best. We apply leading edge technology to the enduring standard of natural beauty - the Golden Proportion. The Golden Proportion is a mathematical constant renamed the “Divine Proportion” by Leonardo Da Vinci, due to its wide distribution in nature. When a smile is aesthetically pleasing to most observers, it has dimensions which fit this proportion. Application of the Golden Proportion of beauty to smile design and smile makeover requires artistry and attention to detail that only few can master. Dr. Rye is one of those masters.
Tooth Shape and Length
The shape and length of the teeth significantly contribute to the appearance of your smile. By utilizing the Golden Proportion to redesign these elements, Dr. Rye can help bring symmetry to your smile.
- Tooth Shape: The shape of each tooth affects the look of your entire smile. We will help you redesign your smile by selecting the style that best represents what you feel would be your perfect smile. Some smiles can be dramatically improved by altering the shapes of only the four front teeth, while other smiles benefit from also altering the shape of the cuspids.
- Tooth Length: Tooth length is another important element of smile design. While the overall length of your teeth must fall within parameters defined by function, anatomy, and rules of aesthetics, the relative lengths of the front teeth can often be defined by personal preference.
Many dentists can fix teeth, and many cosmetic dentists can make cosmetic improvements to teeth, but only a select few dentists have an eye for smile design and the training and expertise to design smiles that can last a lifetime. Dr. Rye is those who have mastered the art of smile design and smile makeover. His exceptional smile design dentistry is changing lives every day.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
For patients who require extensive dental procedures to create their ideal smile, Dr. D. Gordon Rye can perform a full mouth reconstruction. As a neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Rye treats not only the teeth, but also the facial muscles and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) to restore health, function, and beauty to the smile.
A full mouth reconstruction is more extensive than a smile makeover, and may include multiple restorative dentistry procedures, such as dental implants or dental bridges, to replace missing teeth. TMJ treatment to improve bite and cosmetic dental procedures to achieve a perfect smile may also be incorporated.
