Smile Designing

Smile design is the process of creating a custom plan for improving the appearance of a person’s smile. It involves a combination of cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as teeth whitening, bonding, veneers, orthodontics, and gum contouring, to achieve a natural-looking, symmetrical, and attractive smile. The goal of smile design is to enhance the overall appearance of a person’s smile while improving their oral health.

The smile design procedure typically follows these steps:

Consultation: Our cosmetic dentist will meet with the patient to evaluate their current smile, discuss their goals and expectations, and perform a comprehensive oral examination.

Diagnostic records: Our dentist will take diagnostic records, such as photographs, x-rays, and impressions, to help plan the smile design.

Smile design plan: Our dentist will create a customized smile design plan that outlines the necessary procedures, including the type and number of cosmetic restorations, such as veneers or crowns, and any orthodontic treatment, such as braces or Invisalign.

Simulation: The patient will receive a wax-up or digital simulation of the proposed new smile, which allows them to see what the final result will look like before committing to treatment.

Preparation: Our dentist will prepare the teeth for the cosmetic restorations, which may involve reducing the size of the teeth, reshaping the gum tissue, or removing decay or old restorations.

Placement of restorations: The cosmetic restorations, such as veneers or crowns, will be placed on the prepared teeth. Our dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a natural-looking and comfortable fit.

Follow-up: Our dentist will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the patient’s progress and make any necessary adjustments.
