What is Smile Design?
Smile Design is a comprehensive, digitally guided approach to creating a smile that fits your face, personality, and goals. Using high‑resolution photos, 3D scans, and bite analysis, we design the ideal tooth shapes and proportions, preview them with you, then translate that plan into conservative, natural‑looking restorations.
Why it matters
Face‑driven proportions and harmony
Transparent previews before treatment begins
Predictable, conservative preparations
Custom shade mapping for lifelike results
Results vary by case. We’ll tailor a plan after clinical exam and records.
Scans
Intraoral 3D scans & bite records for precise fit.
Simulation
Digital smile mockups you can review together.
Trial smile
Test‑drive the shape with a bonded preview.
Fine‑tuning
Custom shading, texture, and translucency mapping.
Our Digital Workflow
1) Records & analysis
Photos, 3D scans, and bite assessment; discuss goals and shade preferences.
2) Digital design
Smile simulation aligned to facial features; you review shapes and lengths.
3) Trial smile
In‑mouth mockup to experience function and esthetics before committing.
4) Conservative prep
When indicated, enamel‑preserving preparation guided by the design.
5) Veneer fabrication
High‑strength ceramics with hand‑finished characterization; same‑day options.
Fine‑tuning
Custom shading, texture, and translucency mapping.
Aesthetic, Natural‑Looking Veneers
We focus on lifelike color, translucency, and surface texture so your smile looks beautifully natural—not overdone. Each veneer is shade‑mapped to your surrounding teeth and facial tone, with individualized characterization where appropriate.

Smile Design FAQ
Will my veneers look natural?
Yes—our design is face‑guided and each veneer is shade‑mapped and hand‑finished for realism.
How long does it take?
From consult to delivery varies by case—often 2–4 weeks; same‑day options available in select cases.
Are same‑day veneers as good?
When indicated, chairside or expedited options can be excellent. Case selection and material choice are key.

With proper care, many last 10–15 years or longer. We’ll tailor maintenance to protect your investment.

We favor conservative, enamel‑preserving prep and no‑prep options where appropriate.
