Smile Design

Smile Design is a tailored, multidisciplinary approach to improving the appearance and function of a patient’s smile. It combines clinical examination, digital imaging and aesthetic principles to assess tooth proportions, colour, alignment, bite relationships and gum display, with the goal of creating a harmonious and natural-looking outcome that suits the patient’s facial features.

The Smile Design process typically involves detailed assessment, photographic and digital planning, mock-ups or temporary restorations, and collaboration between the patient and dental team to set realistic goals. Treatment options used within a Smile Design can include teeth whitening, veneers or crowns, composite bonding, orthodontics, gum contouring and restorative work; long-term success depends on careful planning, good oral health and appropriate maintenance.
