Understand to Decide

What does it consist of?

Smile design is a process of assessment and planning. It considers your teeth, gums, lips and face together to propose changes that suit your expression. A simulation helps explain a plan; it is not a promise of a particular result.

This is how your treatment is planned.

We gather photographs and records when useful, assess your bite and explain the options. Depending on your case, simulations or trial restorations may be used; availability is confirmed at your consultation.

  • Informed decisions

Can it be for you?

Smile design may form part of the assessment when cosmetic changes or dental rehabilitation are being considered and you want to understand your options more clearly.

An informed decision

Simulations are indicative and do not guarantee an identical result. Available dental tissue, bite and biology can limit changes.

Your process, step by step

01

Times and visits

Planning may require several appointments. The length of any subsequent treatment depends on the techniques selected.

02

Your comfort

Assessment is usually non-invasive. Any discomfort and aftercare relate to the treatment chosen afterwards.

03

After treatment

Keep the information about your plan and ask any questions before agreeing to irreversible changes. Gum health needs to be maintained throughout the process.
