Smile design is the procedure by which the appearance of the teeth is modified to achieve a harmonious appearance. By applying this technique, the alignment of the teeth is corrected, the size, color and shape of the teeth are changed according to the patient's needs. Smile design focuses on improving the visual appeal of a person's smile and overall oral aesthetics. It includes several elective dental procedures to improve the color, shape, alignment and overall appearance of the teeth. Porcelain or resin veneers are two popular cosmetic treatments in this field.
A smile design is a dental procedure that artistically creates straighter, whiter and more beautiful natural-looking smiles. Smile designs can do wonders to completely restore your dental health and appearance, regardless of the original state of your existing teeth.
Applying dental veneers on a patient is a process that requires the intervention of the patient's teeth, therefore, a clinical assessment must be performed to determine whether it is necessary to perform this type of procedure or if it is possible to achieve a result with minor procedures such as resins and teeth whitening. It is recommended to be applied in cases in which the patient presents severe wear of the teeth or fractures in the dental pieces.
The life span of a smile design depends on each person. We say that resin has an approximate life span of four to eight years and ceramic has an approximate life span of ten to 15 years, but it really depends on how well we take care of our smiles. We see patients with resin that are more than ten years old and are in perfect condition, because they are judicious and go to periodic check-ups. But we also see those who soon after report fractures, changes in the shade of their design, all due to their bad habits or the non-use of the protective plate.
Smile designs are accessible to all types of people, this depends on the material and the technique you want to perform, but they are totally accessible. It is necessary to budget us because they are important procedures, but they are not impossible.
This point is wonderful to clarify, because the results have a lot to do with the type of facial anatomy and the type of teeth of each person. Obviously, we always listen to the patient and it is there where we can fulfill all the expectations that he/she has and leave him/her completely happy. Aspects such as color, shape, size, are always chosen in conjunction with the patient's taste. This is why we can make very natural smile designs or designs in very white tones, that depends on each person, their personalities and their tastes.
To make designs you must study a lot, you must practice a lot and have a very well-developed manual dexterity. Only dentists specialized in dental aesthetics or oral rehabilitation are the ones who will perform a correct smile design. Definitely we should always leave in the hands of the best professionals all our care, both general health and dentistry.
