Smile Design and Correction

Your smile represents you

A new smile is attractive only when it looks natural. It needs to fit your personality. What makes something attractive? It comes down to balance and proportion. We design your smile using a natural law of beauty called Golden Proportion.

Golden Proportion means that your smile will have the natural shape, size and contour to fit your face and how your jaw functions. If your teeth are worn down, we will use our sophisticated cosmetic dentistry techniques to give you that natural look back.

The golden proportion is a mathematic relationship found throughout nature. It is used as a starting point when designing your smile. The golden proportion rule dictates the amount of tooth surface that should be visible when viewed from the front, and will make your smile appear balanced.

Principles of Smile Design

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a beautiful smile is priceless. To design the most aesthetically pleasing and optimally functional smile, we follow the nine main Principles of Smile Design taking into account your unique facial features. For example, we can use characteristics such as tooth shape to compliment or enhance the shape of your face.

Horizontal Alignment

Smile lines that are parallel to the horizontal axis of your face are widely considered most attractive.One of the most important characteristics of a great smile, a smile line is created by drawing an imaginary line from the biting edges of the back teeth around to the front teeth. A curved smile line makes you appear significantly younger.The most aesthetic smiles have symmetrical gum lines that follow the upper lip.In the ideal smile, the teeth towards the back of the mouth can be seen in progression. If the smile is narrow, the back teeth are often in shadow causing the sides of the smile to appear dark.Embrasures are the natural, slight triangular spaces between the tips of your teeth. The most natural, youthful looking smile has small embrasure spaces at the front which gradually get larger towards the back teeth.When creating the ideal smile, the size of each tooth is governed by an ideal proportion. Usually, for example, the ideal width to height ratio of the two front teeth is 0.7:1.It is possible to change the shade of your teeth while designing your new smile. SmielStylers has a variety of colour and translucency options to choose from in order to give you a smile so natural, it looks like one you were born with it.

Veneers

Natural looking and long lasting porcelain veneers one of cosmetic dentistry’s more recent developments offered . they are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that can be bonded onto the front side of teeth to improve the tooths appearance. Porcelain veneers are ideal for use on teeth that are stained or discoloured, worn, chipped, misaligned or as an alternative to orthodontic treatment. There are several advantages to porcelain veneers:

Easily fabricated with minimal tooth preperation
After it is bonded to a sturdy tooth it becomes very strong and durable
Enhances your appearance for a long time, typically up to 10 years with proper care and precautions
Porcelain veneers appear realistic they are glass-like and translucent, an advantage over other types of cosmetic dental bonding mimicking the light handling characteristics of enamel when the veneer is bonded to the tooth

Lumineers

If you dream of having a perfect smile, but the thought of having veneers applied to your teeth makes you wince in pain, you’ll be happy to know there is a new, pain-free alternative to help you get a fantastic looking smile.

This new dental discovery is called Lumineers™ by Cerinate®. Described as “smile shapers”, Lumineers are ultra-thin, super translucent porcelain that is non-invasively applied to teeth for a natural looking smile that fits every individual. Anyone with “needle-phobia” can breathe easy. Lumineers can be applied without the use of anesthesia, so no shots are required.

But how do Lumineers differ from the traditional porcelain veneers that dentists have been using for years? Typically, most veneers require that your dentist grind down sensitive tooth structure for a good fit. Not so with Lumineers, as there is no cutting or grinding of teeth in almost all cases.

Another bonus is that this new procedure generally calls for just two visits to your dentist, and no uncomfortable temporaries while you wait for your Lumineers to be created. There is no post-procedure discomfort or sensitivity, which means Lumineers look and feel natural as soon as you step out of your dentist’s chair.

Lumineers can even be a more comfortable and time-saving solution for adults who are considering braces. If your bite problem isn’t severe, Lumineers will change the shape and alignment of your teeth, making them look straighter and more uniform. They will also help restore and strengthen teeth and aid in preventing wear over time.

Clinically proven to last up to 20 years with no shade discoloration, So now your dream of a new smile can become a reality- without pain. And that’s really something to smile about.!
