Smile design is the art and science of crafting a new beautiful smile. It is undoubtably the most important tool that a cosmetic dentist uses and it serves as the basis of all cosmetic dental work. Having a clear vision of the final arrangement and color before beginning any treatment is the first step in obtaining a successful result.
An excellent smile design takes everything into account. Most patients are focused on whitening, however, although tooth whitening helps create a nice smile, there is much more to a attractive smile than just color. Attractive teeth look balanced and proportionate. The Golden proportion comes from the ancient Greeks concept of beauty and still applies to gorgeous smiles today. However, the artistically minded dentist understands that some natural variation must always be crafted into the final restorations to provide the patient with a natural looking result. Obtaining a natural looking result is an important goal in any smile makeover.
Procedures to improve the appearance of the gums must also be considered in a personal smile design. The gums frame the smile and should not show excessively. They have to be healthy and flow smoothly up between the teeth otherwise large black areas become evident between the teeth. There should never be anything distracting the eye from enjoying a great smile. The edges of all the teeth in a smile should be harmonious, separated and follow the contours of the lips. The teeth should be straight without severe overlapping or irregularities. There must be natural contours and colors. Natural teeth have character with several colors blended in one tooth.
Finally, the smile design must match the age and personality of the wearer. A gorgeous sexy smile, while beautiful on a 25 year old, may look artificial on a 75 year old. A handsome man's smile will probably look terrible on a woman. The appearance of the teeth must look natural, pleasing and match the patient.
