Cosmetic Dentistry

A smile design is a dental procedure that artistically creates straighter, whiter, and more beautiful natural-looking smiles. It can do wonders to fully restore your dental health and appearance regardless of the original state of your existing teeth.

BENEFITS OF SMILE DESIGN

Age decreases our smile due to wear, chipping, and discoloration. This can happen gradually and can be very embarrassing. Smile designing can get you smiling again and revitalize or enhance your original smile

THE PROCESS OF SMILE DESIGNING

• In the first step, a consultation is arranged with the doctor to make sure we understand your cosmetic dental goals and develop a treatment plan to resolve your underlying dental problems.
• Patients are encouraged to bring with them photos of when they were younger or photos of their favorite smile in order to understand their needs and expectations better.
• The treatment is planned so as to minimize the number of appointments and to make sure your smile is completed in time for your special social function or occasion.
• All other dental diseases are treated first including dental hygiene issues.
• No two cases are alike and hence our doctors create a customized smile, especially for you.

COMMONLY COMBINED TREATMENTS

• Some smile designs only require Porcelain Veneers while others will require a combination of Veneers and Crowns.
• Sometimes teeth are missing in the smile zone. This is rectified with either a porcelain bridge or an implant with a Porcelain crown.
• Multiple missing anterior teeth may require multiple implants or an implant-supported denture to make the completed smile designs.
• If too much gum tissue is showing or the gums are uneven when the individual smiles, then a “gum lift” is done with lasers to reduce the amount of gum showing.
• If only a few teeth are veneered, then the other teeth are whitened before the smile design is completed. This makes sure that the smile is enhanced and brightened.
