Our Approach
In order to insure the highest possible satisfaction with
smile improvement procedures, our dentists at Esthetique
Dentistry--before doing any cosmetic dentistry work that
involves multiple front teeth--will often perform a smile
design consultation. We understand that communication with
the patient over what they expect, what they want their
teeth to look like, is critical to their success. A smile
makeover is a self-esteem service. As such, if the result is
not pleasing to the patient, the treatment is a failure. In
order for you to be happy with the result, you need to have
strong input into the artistic planning of your smile. To
help you accomplish that, we make sure to review with the
patient the various options of smile design.
Factors that influence the smile design are:
- Your facial shape. For example, a long face may need
to accentuate width to appear more oval. Someone with
attractive features in the center of the face may need
bold central incisors to draw attention to that center.
- Your image aspirations. How do you want to appear to
others? A sophisticated smile gives the appearance of more
intelligence, maturity and judgment. A sexy smile gives the
appearance of more warmth, energy and boldness.
- Your age, or how old you want to appear. Longer central
incisors make you appear younger. Also, whiter teeth make
you appear younger. Conversely, a flatter smile or a more
subdued color to the teeth make you appear more mature.
With your smile design consultation, an expert dentist
will go over all of these factors. We may have you pick a
smile from a book of photographs of smiles. If we disagree
with your pick, we will tell you and explain why, but the
final decision is still yours. Ultimately, you have to be
the one who is happy with your smile.
At Esthetique
Dentistry, our dentists have a certain passion about
esthetics and creating beautiful smiles. If you are
