Smile Design

We plan the colour, length and alignment of your teeth digitally to suit your face and try the result in your mouth before making it permanent.

Session length: 60–120 minutes
Sessions: 3–4 sessions over 2–3 weeks
Afterwards: Mild sensitivity may last a few days

Smile design is not a single procedure but the joint planning of tooth colour, length, shape and gum level. It is planned from facial photos and a digital scan; the aim is a natural result that suits your face, not the same white smile for everyone.

Which methods are used?

Depending on the case, whitening, composite bonding, porcelain laminates, e.max or zirconia crowns and gum contouring may be combined. We work with the least possible reduction.

Seeing the result in advance

Before anything permanent, the design is placed temporarily in your mouth. You see how it looks when you talk and smile, and can ask for changes.

How does the treatment go?

Photos and digital scan
Facial, lip and tooth proportions are measured; the smile is designed on screen.
In-mouth trial (mock-up)
The design is placed on your teeth in temporary material; we proceed only after you approve it in the mirror.
Preparation and scan
Minimal reshaping where needed, then a digital impression.
Bonding
Laminates or e.max restorations made in our lab are bonded in place.

The information on this page is general; diagnosis and treatment decisions are made with your dentist after an examination.
