Smile Design
SMILE DESIGN
Smiling is an instinct to all of us. Some people smile brightly, confidently and very frequently. Many envy smiles like these and want to smile as confidently too.
Smile Design is an option worth exploring for individuals who feel that their smile is less than desired.
Everyone wants to have a unique and pleasant smile, and everyone has a different idea of what is a perfect smile. We understand that each individual has a different set of teeth (shape, size, alignment and shade). You may also have specific expectations, concerns, desires, time and budget.
We customize a treatment plan for every individual who wishes to improve their smiles.
What is Smile Design?
There are many ways to improve your smile, and there are different approaches to Smile Design.
To customise a complete treatment proposal for Smile Design based on one’s expectations, budget and time, our doctor will need to conduct a detailed and thorough examination before giving any clinical advice.
Our approach is conservative. We want to retain as much tooth structure as possible and keep your teeth alive, while aligning with your expectations and requirements. As such, orthodontic treatment may be required as part of the smile design treatment journey.
Orthodontic treatment plays a crucial part in the Smile Design process. By moving the teeth to their optimal location and alignment, we can achieve a desired smile with minimum damages to natural teeth. Restorations that are well supported by tooth structure will last longer.
Improved teeth alignment allows better access for daily oral hygiene maintenance.
Smile Design DOES NOT replace orthodontic treatment; it works hand in hand to achieve better results. We believe that any Smile Design journey for our patients begins with understanding of your expectations and ideal planning, to giving long lasting results without compromising aesthetics, function and ease of maintenance.
Some dentists are adopting invasive approaches to shorten the treatment time. However, such approaches may create another set of issues that may need rectifications in the future.
For instance, a healthy tooth that went through elective root canal treatment will discolor over time. Therefore, an additional procedure is required to correct the discoloration. The root canal treated tooth is weaker compared to a healthy tooth, the support for the prosthesis (veneer/crown) is less than ideal. The longevity of the prosthesis will be comparatively shorter.
For the worst case scenario, the whole Smile Design procedure may need to restart from the beginning.
Smile Design Treatment Process
During the Smile Design process, Aesthetics, Function and Health are all equally important. At Smile Design Dental Practice, we believe that for any aesthetic works to be carried out, there must be a strong and healthy foundation first. This begins with healthy gums and teeth. Therefore, the consultation for Smile Design will also include a thorough examination and record of your gums and teeth.
We will propose a comprehensive treatment plan that restores our client's oral health to an optimal state if required, before embarking on the Smile Design journey.
Our treatment plan emphasizes on the equal importance of Health, Function and Aesthetic. It will be the blueprint of the Smile Design. Upon receiving the approval from you, we will start to execute the treatment plan. After restoring the Health and Function of your oral condition, we will proceed to do mock-ups on the study model or reversible mock-ups on your teeth. You will have a preview of the final result before accepting the proposal.
At the completion of the Smile Design journey, we will guide you along on how to maintain your new smiles at home. We advise you to maintain regular routine dental check up and maintenance, as basic dental care at home is insufficient.
