SMILE DESIGN (COMPLETE MAKEOVER)
Smile design involves all aspects of dental treatment including treatment of gums fillings and root canals and finally restorations of all decayed and missing teeth keeping in mind the function and the beauty aspect of the appearance.
Factors that influence the smile design are:
1. Your facial shape. For example, a long face may need to accentuate width to appear more oval. Someone with attractive features in the center of the face may need bold central incisors to draw attention to that center.
2. Your image aspirations. How do you want to appear to others? A sophisticated smile gives the appearance of more intelligence, maturity and judgment. A sexy smile gives the appearance of more warmth, energy and boldness.
3. Your age, or how old you want to appear. Longer central incisors make you appear younger. Also, whiter teeth make you appear younger. Conversely, a flatter smile or a more subdued color to the teeth make you appear more mature.
With your smile design consultation, an expert cosmetic dentist will go over all of these factors. He or she may have you pick a smile from a book of photographs of smiles. A good cosmetic dentist may disagree with your pick and will tell you, but the final decision is still yours. Ultimately, you have to be the one who is happy with your smile.
