How is Smile Design Performed?
The smile design process involves several steps to ensure that the results meet the patient’s expectations and provide a natural look.
Initial Consultation and Analysis
- The dentist examines your teeth, gums, and facial structure.
- Photographs, X-rays, and digital scans are taken to analyze your current dental condition.
- Your expectations and preferences are discussed to create a personalized smile plan.
Digital Smile Design
- Using advanced software, a digital preview of your new smile is created.
- This allows patients to see the expected results before the treatment begins.

Depending on the individual’s dental needs, the following treatments can be included:
- Teeth Whitening: Brightens discolored or stained teeth.

Application and Final Adjustments
