Smile Designing -Part 1

What is Smile Designing?

A smile is one of your most noticeable features. A cheerful face makes you instantly more attractive and approachable. 

But what if you are self-conscious about your teeth or gums? 

Many people cover their mouths or do not smile fully for fear of showing features in their mouth that they do not like. 

Do you long to have a smile you are proud to show the world? 

This is where smile designing comes into play.

Smile Designing is the process of pre-visualizing the ideal smile and planning to predictably achieve the desired end result. 

In the past, dentists tended to deal with different problems in the mouth separately. Smile Designing is a comprehensive approach, taking into consideration the way the mouth is used in eating and speaking, as well as smiling. All the factors which contribute to your smile are evaluated -this includes not just your teeth and gums but also your lips, bones, muscles and skin. 

The aim is to create a balanced and harmonious smile which looks natural. The end result should match the facial features, personality and age of the individual. With careful planning and good maintenance the result will also be long lasting. 

It is important to find a dentist with the right training and experience in Smile Designing. To achieve the desired result a cosmetic dentist may need to work closely with other specialists such as orthodontists, periodontists and implantologists and oral surgeons. A great lab technician who uses the best materials is also vital.
