Smile Design & Cosmetic Dentistry at Smile Dental Clinic

Every smile and face is unique, and finding the right smile dental clinic can make all the difference. We believe that it’s important to collaborate with each client to design a bespoke smile that suits their facial features and enhances their overall appearance. 

You are a perfect candidate for a Cosmetic Smile Makeover if you are self-conscious about any of the following reasons:

Cosmetic Smile Makeover begins with a private consultation to understand your needs and expectations. We will then use Digital Smile Design (DSD) to show you how your new smile will appear, working with you to create the perfect tooth colour, shape, and size that suits your facial profile. With DSD, we can offer you a more detailed and predictable treatment plan to achieve the smile of your dreams.

BRACES

braces for tooth position

We provide braces for children, teenagers, as well as adults. Braces offer many benefits. Besides creating a beautiful smile and a better bite, braces can also be used to align teeth to allow ideal replacements of teeth that have been lost due to tooth decay or gum disease.

Many people feel hesitant to start orthodontic treatment due to the appearance, inconvenience, and the treatment duration required. Fortunately, with the advances in technology, braces are now smaller, easier to clean, work faster, and much more comfortable. Besides conventional metal braces, we provide ceramic braces and self-ligating braces.

We also provide Damon braces, a renowned self-ligating system that delivers faster treatment, requires fewer appointments, and offers improved comfort with excellent results. Damon braces come with metal, ceramic, or clear brackets. Self-ligating braces eliminate the use of elastic “ties”, but use a specialised clip to hold the arch wire in place to guide the teeth by a slide mechanism. The clip reduces the friction placed on teeth, allowing teeth to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably.

Come get your consultation today to find out which braces best suit your needs and lifestyle.

VENEERS

veneers for tooth shape

Wish your smile were whiter, straighter, or simply more even?. Veneers can make it happen, quickly and comfortably. These ultra-thin porcelain or composite shells are custom-made to perfect your teeth’s shape, colour, and size.

Many patients choose veneers because the procedure is painless, requires minimal or no drilling, and delivers stunning results in just a few visits! With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, veneers can be a long-lasting solution.

We recommend coming in for a consultation, as the planning stage is key to a beautiful smile. We enjoy this process as it gets our creative juices flowing and our patients get to be involved in designing and sharing the final vision of the smile of their dreams.

INVISALIGN®

Invisalign® system is a proven way to achieve healthy tooth movement with ease of brushing and flossing, and without the unsightly appearance of metal brackets.

Each Invisalign® aligner is individually customised to fit precisely over your teeth, making it comfortable and secure. Invisalign® also requires fewer visits to the dentist for adjustment of broken wires and brackets. Invisalign® aligners can be conveniently removed, allowing you to enjoy all your favourite foods and activities without worrying about breaking anything!

LASER GUM LIFT

A gummy smile is the appearance of too much gum tissue showing above the upper front teeth when you smile. Gum lift can be used to reduce a gummy smile and also reshape gum margins if the gums are not balanced or symmetrical. This procedure involves the gentle removal of excess gum tissue by contouring and shaping the “gummy” section of your smile. With the advances in technology, laser gum lift can be done a lot more comfortably, with no bleeding and better healing than the conventional way. Gum lift is also very often used in combination with a smile makeover using veneers or braces. The result is a brighter and more balanced, natural-looking smile.

TEETH WHITENING

Feeling self-conscious about your yellow teeth? Daily habits such as drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, as well as smoking, can gradually darken your teeth. Let us put the sparkle back into your smile with teeth whitening! Our whitening is both safe and effective, and you can remove years of stain and colour from your teeth in a single, one-hour treatment. We offer both in-office whitening and a whitening home kit with custom trays.

FAQs about Smile Design

Smile design is a highly personalised approach to improving the appearance and function of your smile. It goes beyond whitening to consider the size, shape, colour, and alignment of your teeth, as well as how they relate to your facial features, skin tone, gum health, and even the way you speak or laugh.

The benefits extend beyond aesthetics. Well-aligned and proportioned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Correcting bite issues can also help prevent uneven wear on teeth and relieve jaw discomfort. By combining artistry with dentistry, smile design enhances both your confidence and your long-term oral health.

For more details about how smile design works and how it can transform your smile, check out: What is Smile Design in Dentistry?

  1. The teeth are perhaps the most critical component. The goal is often to achieve bright, well-aligned teeth that match in size and shape.
  2. Gums also play a significant role; they should be healthy looking and well-contoured to frame the teeth properly without being overly prominent or receded.
  3. Lips act as the natural frame for your smile, and their shape and fullness can significantly impact the overall aesthetic of your smile.
  4. Lastly, facial symmetry is considered to ensure that the smile aligns well with the rest of the face for a natural and attractive appearance.

The durability of the results largely depends on the specific treatments involved and how well you take care of your teeth afterwards. It can last anywhere from several years to a lifetime, depending on the materials used and your oral hygiene practices.

It’s crucial to follow your dentist’s advice on maintaining your new smile. This includes regular brushing and flossing, avoiding certain foods that can damage dental work, and making routine visits to the dentist for check-ups and cleanings.

The truth is, most patients find the process surprisingly comfortable. Cosmetic dentistry procedures are designed with patient comfort in mind, and local anaesthesia or sedation is available for treatments that may cause discomfort.

One common side effect involves tooth sensitivity. This can occur because some smile design procedures require the removal of a small amount of enamel to place veneers or crowns. Without this protective layer, teeth might become more sensitive to temperatures.

Additionally, there’s always a risk of gum irritation or infection if the materials used don’t sit well with your body or if proper hygiene isn’t maintained post-procedure.

Furthermore, while less common, there’s also the chance that the outcome might not meet your expectations. This could be due to miscommunication about desired results or limitations within the dental practice itself.

Therefore, having a thorough treatment planning is necessary before proceeding with cosmetic dentistry. Remember, maintaining open communication with your dentist throughout the process can significantly mitigate these risks.

Cosmetic dentistry can often address multiple dental issues in the same treatment plan, especially if it offers comprehensive cosmetic and restorative services.

For example, during a Cosmetic Smile Makeover or Smile Design process, they can:

  • Whiten discoloured teeth
  • Straighten crooked or spaced teeth using braces or Invisalign
  • Repair chipped or worn teeth with veneers or bonding
  • Reshape gums with laser gum lifts
  • Replace missing teeth with implants or bridges

A well-equipped cosmetic dentist will usually combine these treatments into a cohesive plan so that the final result is both functional and aesthetically balanced. This approach also helps reduce the number of visits compared to doing each treatment separately.
