When Ben walked through the doors of Smile Hot Springs, he had one goal in mind—get his smile back. Years of dentistry across multiple decades, combined with misalignment and wear, had left him with a smile that didn’t reflect who he was anymore. And he knew it was time to make a change.

Taking the First Step

Ben described his mindset before his consultation as having “some trepidation,” but he was determined. "I knew I had to get it done,” he said. From the start, Dr. Ethan Erwin and the Smile Hot Springs team made sure he was fully educated and comfortable throughout the process.

Ben’s transformation included Invisalign® treatment to properly align his teeth and restore the functionality of his bite. Once in the ideal position, Dr. Erwin used a tailored approach to rebuild Ben’s bite and complete his cosmetic smile makeover.

A Life-Changing Result

The process wasn’t without its moments—“There was one uncomfortable day,” Ben recalls, “but I still went out for dinner and drinks that night.”

The results exceeded Ben’s expectations. “Much better,” he says. “I don’t intentionally avoid smiling anymore.”

His words are powerful:

“You only live once—look at pictures of yourself and decide if that’s how you want to be remembered.”

That’s the kind of transformation we aim for: real results, real life, and real confidence.

A Doctor’s Note: Dr. Erwin on Ben’s Smile

"Ben had undergone dental work over several decades. The misalignment led to functional wear that impacted his bite and smile. We began with Invisalign to reposition his teeth, then restored his bite to ideal form and function. Now Ben has a confident, powerful smile that reflects his robust lifestyle." — Dr. Ethan Erwin

Confidence in Every Picture

What stands out most to Ben now?

“I don’t look angry in every picture anymore. I used to avoid smiling because I didn’t like how my teeth looked—but now, that’s all changed.

This transformation wasn't just about appearance. It was about helping Ben reclaim confidence, approachability, and a more youthful presence.
