What smile design is (and why it's not just “getting veneers”)

Smile design is a plan, not a single treatment: it decides what to change, how much and with what, so your smile fits your face. Here's how it works and how to know if it's for you.

Step 1 of 7

What would you like to improve about your smile?

Choose all that apply.

What gets analyzed

  • Your face: proportions, lips, smile line and how much tooth shows when you talk
  • Your teeth: color, shape, size, position and wear
  • Your gums: whether they need to be leveled or treated first
  • Your bite: so the result looks good and also works

How it's planned

01

Photos and 3D scan

We record your current smile with photos and a digital scan — no messy impressions.

02

Simulation

We design the proposal digitally and you see it before we start. If something doesn't feel right, we adjust it.

03

Treatment plan

We define which treatments are needed, in what order and what it costs — in writing.

Which treatments it can include

Depending on your case: porcelain veneers, whitening, crowns, gum contouring or, in more complex cases, full-mouth rehabilitation. Sometimes the best design is the simplest: not everyone needs 20 veneers.

Are you a good candidate?

  • The color, shape or size of your teeth bothers you
  • You have worn, chipped or gapped teeth
  • Your teeth and gums are healthy, or you're willing to treat them first
  • You have realistic expectations: a more beautiful, natural smile, not a perfect one

If you have active cavities, gum disease or heavy grinding, you're not ruled out: that gets treated first, then we design.
