Smile Design

Communication is the key to providing the ideal solution for any patients looking for a smile makeover. Therefore, it is vital to ensure individuals seek a smile consultation appointment prior to treatment.

During the initial visit, prospective patients will discuss the size, shape, and position of their teeth, as well as have their facial features assessed by our experienced dentists. This is to ensure the best possible outcome.

Patients may wish to transform the appearance of their teeth after experiencing oral health problems, or due to inconsistencies within their smile. Additionally, a bright, white, Hollywood smile could allow many individuals to enjoy higher self-esteem. Often this type of treatment is life changing.

What does the Smile design process entail?

Using a trial smile, we are able to show a patient what their proposed smile makeover will look like before they start the treatment. Proving invaluable, the trial smile gives patients the chance to make sure their smile will appear exactly how they want it to. In turn, this significantly reduces the risk of surprise or disappointment.

Golden Proportions

We use the Golden Proportions principles to measure the distance between features, as well as the length and size of teeth. The process provides a guide for achieving an aesthetically pleasing proportion.

Horizontal alignment – ensures that the teeth are aligned with the eye line.
Symmetry– ideal patients will have symmetry through the centre line of their face. If patients do not have facial symmetry then every effort will be made to give the illusion of this.
Smile line – this area joins the top of the teeth and should mimic the curve of a patient’s lower lip.
Gum line – an even gum line will follow in parallel to the upper lip.
Embrasures – gives definition to the pearly whites by addressing the curved corners at the tips of the teeth.
Golden tooth proportions – each tooth should be of a certain proportion to give the best length-to-width ratio.

What happens after the smile design procedure?

When a patient is happy with their chosen smile design, our dentists and the cosmetic laboratory technicians will endeavour to create the agreed smile using porcelain veneers or composite veneers.

At Pearl dental clinic, we provide FREE teeth whitening with 4 or more Lumineers/Porcelain/Ceramic Veneers so that you can make the rest of your teeth whiter too.
