Smile Design
A smile is a powerful way of communication for a person. But if you are self-conscious about your teeth, you may tend to cover your teeth when you smile or not smile at all! This may create false impressions about you. You may be branded as non-communication, shy or even unfriendly.
A new smile will not only clear these assumptions about you but will also help you make a greater impact - both, personally & professionally. Healthy teeth form the foundation of an appealing smile. A skillful blend of cosmetic science and art, helps your dentist "sculpt" or 'design' smile for you.
In "SMILE DESIGN" the cosmetically enhanced teeth look more natural and last longer; as a result of improved technology and materials.
You are a candidate for smile design if:
- You have stained teeth or dicoloured fillings.
- Your teeth are crowed; overlapping or crooked
- You have missing teeth/large gaps between teeth
- Your teeth have uneven shapes due to chipping, fractures or rough edges
- Your teeth are uneven in length
- In case of “GUMMY SMILE”
In "SMILE DESIGN" the overall appearance of your six upper front teeth is improved upon; since are the most visible when you smile.
The other remaining teeth are also attended to, if they pose problems,
The various techniques employed in "Smile Design" are as follows:
- Orthodontia - This is a specialised field of dentistry by which malaligned teeth (crooked or crowded teeth) are straightened into their normal positions by using braces, wires etc.
- Veneers - A veneer is a paper thin custom made covering that conceals the front and side surfaces of the tooth, much like a mask or an artificial fingernail. It is made of ceramic or composite resin. Cosmetically, veneers looks very natural. They are very versatile.
Ceramic veneers (made up of ceramic) are more durable and may require 2-3 sittings. Whereas composite veneers requires only one sitting. - Crown and Bridge Procedures
