Smile design in brief

Smile design is not a single procedure but a planning approach. The color, form, length and alignment of the teeth are examined together with the gum line, lips and facial proportions. Then it is decided which procedures, such as whitening, orthodontics, veneers, zirconia or gum contouring, are needed and in what order.

The aim is a natural-looking result that suits you and your face while preserving healthy teeth as much as possible. Before any permanent work, the planned look can be tried in the mouth temporarily, so you make the decision together with us.

The basics

Which procedures can smile design include?

Not every plan includes all of these procedures. A combination of a few steps, starting with the least invasive, is usually recommended:

Gum lineHow much gum shows when smiling and its symmetry.
Lips and faceThe lip line, facial midline and the number of teeth visible when smiling.
ColorThe color of the teeth and how it matches the face, skin and eye color.
Tooth and gum healthDecay, gum disease or old fillings and crowns.
Bite and habitsBite pattern, clenching and grinding.

Process

Smile design step by step

  1. Examination and expectationsDay 1

    Tooth and gum health is checked and we talk about what you would like to change. X-rays are taken if needed.

  2. Photos, video and impressionsDay 1

    Facial and smile photos are taken, and impressions or a digital scan with an intraoral scanner are made.

  3. Plan and try-in1–2 weeks

    The planned teeth are first prepared on a model and can then be tried in the mouth with a temporary material (mock-up). Length, shape and color are finalized together at this stage.

  4. Preliminary treatmentif needed

    Teeth needing fillings, gum or root canal treatment are treated first; orthodontics and whitening are done first if needed.

  5. Treatmentaccording to the plan

    Veneers, zirconia, bonding or gum contouring are carried out according to the approved plan.

  6. Check-ups1–2 a year

    The restorations and gums are followed up with regular check-ups; a night guard may be recommended if you clench your teeth.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about smile design

How long does smile design take?

It depends on the plan. A plan with only whitening and bonding can be completed in a few weeks; plans that need orthodontics can take a few months.

Will my teeth be cut down for smile design?

Not always. Whitening and bonding do not remove tooth structure; veneers require little reduction and zirconia more. The most conservative option possible is considered first.

Can I see the result in advance?

The planned teeth can be tried in the mouth with a temporary material before any permanent work. This way you decide after seeing the length, shape and color.

Is smile design painful?

Procedures that need tooth preparation are done under local anesthesia. There may be some sensitivity for a while afterwards.

Which is more suitable, veneers or zirconia?

Veneers are more often chosen to correct the shape and color of healthy front teeth, and zirconia for teeth with large fillings or fractures. The decision is made at the examination based on the condition of the tooth.

How white can I choose my teeth?

The shade is chosen together to match your face and natural teeth. Very white shades may not look natural on every face; the try-in makes this decision easier.

Is smile design permanent?

With regular care and check-ups, restorations can be used for many years, but they may need renewing over time. The effect of whitening may fade depending on diet and habits.

Can the appearance of the gums also be corrected?

If too much gum shows when you smile or the gum line is uneven, gum contouring (gingivectomy) can be added to the plan.

How can I make an appointment?
