About this treatment
Smile designing looks at your teeth in relation to your lips, gum line and facial proportions rather than treating each tooth in isolation. The plan may combine whitening, aligners, veneers, crowns or gum contouring.
Before anything irreversible is done, we build a digital preview and, where suitable, a trial mock-up you can see in your own mouth. Outcomes vary between individuals and depend on your existing tooth structure.
Who it suits
- Chipped, worn or uneven front teeth
- Gaps or persistent discolouration
- A gum line that shows more than you would like
- Patients planning a milestone event with time to prepare
