A dental smile design consists in diagnosing, planning and modifying a person’s smile so it can be aesthetic and healthy. Designing a new smile is not as easy as it looks, due to the fact that it requires several hours or days of work to design it. A dental smile design can only be performed by a specialized dentist.
Nowadays there are many programs or apps that let you modify people’s smiles in photos. We can edit photos in our phones so that our smile looks whiter or our teeth more symmetrical. A professional dental smile design is superior to this programs and apps. A dental smile design analyzes and studies your face, lips and teeth so we can create a smile according to you.
In order to plan a smile design there are a few things to take in mind:
-COLOR
Many patients only want to modify the color or shade of their teeth because they seem dark or stained. With a smile design we can provide a wide dental color palette to choose from for your new smile.
-SMILE
There are different types of smiles: narrow, moderate or wide. The widest your smile is, the more teeth you show. With a smile design we can modify or fix the exact amount of teeth according to your smile.
-GUMS
There are people who show their gums when they smile or speak. This is an important factor to consider when creating a new smile. Asymmetric and unhealthy gums will not give the aesthetics a smile requires. With a smile design we can improve your gum health and symmetry for a beautiful smile.
-SIZE AND SHAPE OF TEETH
Small and worn down teeth affect your smile’s appearance. Today’s beauty standards have taught us that large and/or long teeth make a person look young and healthy. Also the shape of the teeth matter in a smile. Irregular and/or sharp teeth don’t give the same reaction as smooth and straight teeth. We can modify both size and shape in a dental smile design.
-DENTAL POSITION
For people who want to fix their teeth’s position, we can achieve this by doing a dental smile design. Misaligned teeth is usually one of the causes people feel mostly ashamed of when smiling.
