Smile Makeover

Aspects That May Affect Your Smile

A perfect smile design depends on many factors, not just the colour and position of the teeth. The curvature of the lips, the tone of the skin, and the health of the gums also influence your smile. A golden proportion for smiles was created to establish a universally satisfactory smile design. The golden rules for smile design include:

• The upper front teeth overlap the lower horizontally and vertically
• The edge of the upper front teeth should be parallel to the curvature of the lower lip while smiling
• The smile extends to show up to the first molar no more
• During smiling, the upper lip exposes two-thirds of the upper front teeth. When a larger portion is showing including the gums this is called a gummy smile
• Straight and upward-curved lips are the most aesthetically appealing
• Teeth shade matching with the skin tone, eye, and hair colour

These are the rules to follow during smile designing, aside from the obvious criteria, such as perfect teeth alignment, teeth shade matching the skin tone, healthy gums, and absence of gaps, decay, or noticeable dental fillings in the front teeth.

Smile Makeover Sets a Comprehensive Treatment Plan to Address Any of These Problems

• Crooked teeth
• Spaces between teeth

• Decayed teeth or teeth with defective restorations
• Stained or discoloured teeth

• Missing teeth
• Cracked or fractured teeth

1. Consultation

   During the initial consultation visit, our dental experts will examine the dental condition to record all existing problems. Then they will listen to your concerns and treatment expectations to shape an idea of the outcome you are opting for.

2. Treatment Planning

   After collecting the necessary data, our dental experts will craft a smile makeover plan to address all the existing issues while considering ending with the smile you dream of.
   Advanced computer software will be used to create an imagination on how your smile will look at the end of the treatment.
   The treatment plan will be discussed with you, with a transparent demonstration of the most suitable choices and the alternatives available for you to choose from according to your preferences and financial considerations.

3. Execution

   During the execution phase, you will gradually monitor how your smile improves from step to step until you reach the finish line with a confident breathtaking smile.

Smile Makeover Solutions

According to the existing problems and the outcome you are opting for, the smile makeover plan may include one or more of the following solutions:

1. Dental filling

If you have tooth decay or a defective restoration, this will make your smile unsatisfactory. A white composite resin filling can easily solve this problem. Being a minimally invasive procedure that does not require excessive tooth structure removal and the wide variety of shades available makes the restoration undifferentiated from the tooth structure giving top aesthetic results.

2. Orthodontic treatment

Orthodontic treatment is an effective way to achieve a perfect smile by solving spacing and crocked teeth problems. Several orthodontic solutions are available, such as conventional orthodontic brackets, Invisalign, and Inman aligners. The most suitable orthodontic solution is selected depending on the degree of misalignment and the patient’s preferences.

3. Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is a minimally invasive procedure used to whiten your teeth shade and remove external stains. You can easily perform your teeth whitening session through at-home teeth whitening where our experts fabricate custom-made trays and supply you with whitening solutions to be used at home with no extra visits.

4. Cosmetic bonding

Cosmetic bonding is an innovative cosmetic solution to solve cracked, fractured, and discoloured teeth problems or to handle minor gaps between teeth. The tooth surface is prepared for bonding, and then a composite resin with a preselected shade is applied over the tooth surface, sculptured, and cured to obtain a naturally looking smile at an affordable cost.

5. Dental veneers

Dental veneers are an excellent solution if you suffer from stubborn teeth staining that cannot be addressed through tooth whitening or if you wish to correct defects in tooth shape. They typically require little or no removal of the tooth’s front surface and an impression is taken to create the dental veneers. Resembling artificial nails, dental veneers are bonded to the front surface of the teeth. They provide a durable and natural-looking solution for achieving a perfect smile.

6. Dental crowns

Dental crowns are prosthetic shells designed to cover the entire circumference of a tooth, aiming to reinforce the remaining tooth structure. Crowns for front teeth can be made from all ceramic materials or porcelain fused to metal.

7. Tooth replacement solutions

Several teeth replacement solutions are available to restore missing teeth and achieve a complete smile. Tooth replacement solutions at Dulwich Dental Office include: dental implants, dental bridges, and removable dentures. Dental implants offer the top aesthetic restoration and the most durable.

8. Gum contouring

Gums are the pink, soft tissue surrounding the teeth. If the gums are not healthy, your smile will be affected. Healthy gums are pink in colour, with a thin scalloped edge present at the neck of the tooth without covering the crown. Enlarged gums, which can result from inflammation or certain medications, may lead to an unsatisfactory smile. Gum contouring is a minor surgical procedure used to enhance the appearance of the gums and create better conditions for healing.

9. Botox and filler injection

Facial rejuvenation solutions through Botox and filler injections may also contribute to your smile makeover by decreasing lips and skin sagging and wrinkles due to aging. Facial rejuvenation helps you achieve a youthful look to complete your dream of a perfect smile.
