We believe that a beautiful smile goes beyond just your teeth. It's a balance of your facial features, expressions, and personality. That's why we offer a comprehensive facial analysis called Smile Design — a personalized approach to enhance your unique smile.
What is Smile Design?
Smile Design is a detailed process that evaluates and plans the ideal aesthetics and function of your smile. This analysis goes beyond traditional dental assessments to consider various factors, including the alignment, shape, color, and size of your teeth, as well as how they fit within the overall context of your face and personality. With this data, we can customize procedures to match your unique facial structure, skin tone, and even your personal style. The goal is to create a smile that is not only healthy and functional, but also aesthetically pleasing and in alignment with your overall appearance.
Many patients ask us if their new teeth will look unnatural, like chiclets, or resemble a celebrity's overly artificial crowns. We understand these concerns and want to assure you that our approach to smile design is anything but one-size-fits-all. By leveraging detailed analyses and considering each individual's unique features, we're dedicated to delivering restorations that look and feel natural.
