Understanding Smile Design

Smile Design is a comprehensive approach to cosmetic dentistry that considers the unique features of your face, teeth, and gums to create a balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile, unlike traditional cosmetic procedures.

What is Smile Reimagination (Redesigning Your Smile)

Our team at b. dental studios uses a comprehensive approach to cosmetic dentistry that considers the unique features of your face, teeth, and gums to create a balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile that is specific to your face.

Unlike traditional cookie-cutter dental procedures that are focused on altering each individual tooth, b. dental studios' comprehensive approach to redesigning your smile revolves around the big picture, your face.

Your smile is an important component of your facial beauty and image. We will ensure that your smile complements your facial features and enhances your overall appearance.

Factors which impact the outcome of redesigning your smile with ceramic veneers:

Your Facial Structure and Proportions

Your facial structure and proportions such as the form of your face, nose, lips, eyes, chin and cheek bone have direct impact on what form of teeth and smile curvature will create the best harmony with your facial features. This is one of the most important parts of redesigning your smile, as it requires the innate artistic vision of both the dentist and the master ceramic. You can’t become an artist by attending dental school. The majority of dentists are not artists. Their competency is fixing teeth.

Our passion for artistry is one of the most distinguishing factors of our team at b. dental studios.

Teeth Alignment and Spacing

Proper teeth alignment and spacing are crucial for both aesthetics and function. Crooked, crowded, or teeth with gaps between them will have a negative impact on your smile. An ideal smile requires symmetry and harmony in the alignment of your teeth. Ceramic veneers maximize the harmony and alignment of your teeth.

Teeth Color and Shade

The color of your teeth plays a significant role in the overall appearance of your smile and your image. Choosing the right color for your ceramic veneers is a combination of your preference and the recommendation of b. dental studios’ team’s artistic and clinical judgement. Generally, the color of your veneers should match your skin tone, age, and your personal preference. Teeth that are too white can appear unnatural, while teeth that are too yellow may give the impression that you are older or that you are someone who doesn’t pay attention to his/her teeth.

Gum Line and Teeth Proportions

The relationship between your gum architecture (how much gum you show when you smile, color, form and thickness of your gum) and your teeth is another crucial factor in redesigning your smile. An uneven gum line or excessive showing of gum when you smile (often called a “gummy smile”) will have negative impact on your smile. At b. dental studios, we use latest technology to trim uneven gum(  no use of surgical blade) to cut and contour and reshape your gum. This step will ensure your ceramic veneers and gum are in harmony when you smile.

Teeth Shape and Size

The shape and size of your teeth have a major impact of your smile and social image when you smile. For instance, rounded teeth often create a youthful, feminine look, while square or rectangular teeth can give a more masculine or mature appearance. Ceramic veneers create an opportunity to reshape and change the size of your teeth.

Your Bite and Jaw Alignment

Your bite and your smile are going together hand in hand. A healthy bite is essential for the longevity of your smile and overall oral health. Misaligned bite will cause bone loss around your teeth, shifting your teeth to abnormal position. Receiving ceramic veneers before fixing the bite is not advisable. At b. dental studios we use Invisalign technology to realign and straighten your teeth to a perfect bite before re-designing your smile with ceramic veneers.

Personal Preferences, Lifestyle and Occupation

Your personal preferences, lifestyle and your occupation will influence how your new smile will be reimagined. For example, people who are TV personalities, public speakers or beauticians usually request a more dramatic enhancement of their smile and tend to choose whiter veneers.

During your consultation appointment at b.dental studios, we would like to learn about your goals and desires for reimagining your smile. It is important to know if you want a subtle enhancement or a dramatic transformation of your smile.
