What smile design actually means
It is a plan, not a single procedure. Depending on what is bothering you, the answer might be whitening alone, reshaping two edges, closing a gap with composite, or a set of veneers.
We photograph your smile at rest, talking and laughing, then design the new proportions against your lip line and facial midline. You approve the design before treatment starts.
The tools we use
- Composite bonding: Tooth-coloured material sculpted directly onto the tooth in a single visit. Reversible and economical.
- Porcelain veneers: Thin custom shells bonded to the front surface. The most durable and the most lifelike option for colour and shape.
- Gum contouring: Reshaping an uneven or gummy gum line, which is often what makes a smile look off even when the teeth themselves are fine.
- Whitening and alignment: Sometimes the honest answer is that whitening plus minor alignment gets you most of the result for a fraction of the cost.
Our commitment
We will tell you when the conservative option is the better one. A dentist who recommends veneers for every concern is selling, not treating.
