Everything you need to know about Smile Design Procedure
When you visit a friendly dental office like Robstown Smiles we make sure we give you a customized plan for your smile design procedure. Here is how smile design works:
1. Consultation
It starts with consultation with the dentist as one discusses the goals and expectations. These could include whitening, reshaping, closing gaps, and realigning teeth.
2. Evaluation
The dentist performs a detailed examination of your oral condition. This may consist of:
- Digital imaging is done with X-rays or 3D scans to assess structural damage within the teeth, bones, and gums.
- Photographs are taken from various angles so that you would be able to see a better view of your smile.
3. Digital Smile Design
By making use of advanced digital technology, the dentist can create a personal preview of your new smile. That way you see how different treatments, (veneers, teeth whitening, braces, etc,) will change your smile, all before any treatment is even initiated.
4. Treatment Plan
A treatment plan, designed to fit your needs. This plan may consist of one or more of the following:
- Teeth Whitening: White, whiter teeth.
- Dental Veneers or Bonding: Reshaping the teeth, covering imperfections
- Orthodontics: Braces or clear aligners. A correction for out-of-line teeth.
- Gum Contouring: Adjust gum lines to establish the smile equilibrium.
- Implants or Crowns: In case of missing or decayed teeth.
At other times, you get a temporary mockup of the new smile, enabling you to “test drive” the changes and confirm that you like the look before committing to permanent procedures.
5. Final Smile Makeover
Once you have approved the design, the actual treatments are carried out. This may take one or more sessions depending on the complexity of the changes.
6. Follow-up and Maintenance
To complete the procedures, follow-up visits are necessary to ensure that everything heals well and appears as desired. Important for a new smile is maintenance care that involves regular cleaning and checkup appointments to ensure preservation of the new smile.
Conclusion
Smile design is a process that ensures aesthetic appeal with proper oral health in mind; hence, it results in not only an aesthetically pleasing but also a functional outcome.
