Facial Proportions
The smile can be evaluated in relation to facial shape and overall symmetry.
A smile makeover combines selected cosmetic and restorative dental treatments to improve the colour, shape, alignment, proportions and overall appearance of your smile according to your individual facial features and treatment goals.
A smile makeover is a personalised combination of dental treatments designed to improve the overall appearance of the smile rather than focusing on one tooth or one individual cosmetic concern.
The planning process considers the teeth, gums, smile line and facial proportions together. Tooth colour, length, width, shape, alignment and visible gum tissue can all influence the final appearance.
Depending on your needs, treatment may involve a single cosmetic procedure or a combination of several restorative, orthodontic and aesthetic treatments.
Smile design is based on how the teeth, gums and lips interact with the overall proportions of the face.
The smile can be evaluated in relation to facial shape and overall symmetry.
Tooth height, width and shape can influence how natural and balanced a smile appears.
Gum symmetry and the amount of gum visible while smiling may be included in treatment planning.
Tooth colour can be selected to complement the overall smile and facial appearance.
The treatment combination depends on your existing dental condition and the changes you would like to achieve.
Veneers may be used to alter the visible shape, colour and proportions of selected front teeth and can help address chipped, worn or mildly irregular teeth.
Thin veneer-style restorations may be considered in selected cases where relatively minor cosmetic changes are required.
The gum line may be reshaped where excess or uneven gum tissue affects visible tooth proportions and smile symmetry.
Clear aligners or another orthodontic approach may be considered when tooth position or spacing is an important part of the smile makeover.
Where teeth are missing, dental implants may form part of the overall restorative plan before completing the cosmetic aspects of the smile.
Professional whitening may be used independently or before other cosmetic treatments to improve the overall shade of natural teeth.
Tooth-coloured composite resin may be used for selected changes to tooth shape, edges, small gaps or minor cosmetic irregularities.
Tooth-coloured restorative materials may be used where decay or existing restorations also need to be addressed as part of the smile plan.
More heavily restored or structurally compromised teeth may require crowns rather than veneers or bonding.
Teeth, gums, existing dental work and your cosmetic goals are reviewed before deciding which treatments may be suitable.
Photographs and other records can be used to evaluate tooth position, smile line and facial proportions.
Study models, digital planning or mock-ups may help demonstrate possible tooth length, shape and overall smile design.
The selected dental procedures are completed in the planned sequence and the final smile is reviewed for appearance, bite and overall harmony.
The existing treatment process describes using photographs, impressions, study models and mock-ups so that tooth length, colour and shape can be discussed before the final restorative work is completed.
Full-face and smile photographs can help evaluate how the teeth relate to facial proportions.
Impressions or digital scans can be used to create models and assist with detailed smile planning.
A preview can help demonstrate planned changes to tooth length, colour or shape before treatment.
The treatment plan and desired appearance can be reviewed before progressing to the final stages.
No two smile makeovers need to be identical. Your treatment plan depends on the condition of your natural teeth, tooth colour, alignment, gums, missing teeth and the aesthetic changes you would like to achieve.
