What Is Smile Design?

Smile design is the process of planning a smile that matches your face, personality, and lifestyle. It considers facial symmetry, tooth proportions, color and translucency, and gingival harmony—so the final result looks believable and balanced.

Core Elements

Facial analysis & midline

Tooth length-to-width ratios

Color, translucency, and micro-texture

Gumline contour and frame

Expression that fits you

Smile Design FAQs

Will my smile look natural?

Yes. We design to your facial features and use layered ceramics and micro-texture to avoid a flat, opaque look.

With nitrous, oral, or IV sedation available in-house, most patients describe visits as calm and easy.
