Smile Designing
Designed as a whole, not tooth by tooth
Smile designing plans the shape, shade, proportion and alignment of your teeth together — so the result looks deliberate and suits your face, rather than assembled piecemeal.

About the treatment
Plan first, treat second
A smile reads as a set, not a collection of individual teeth. Proportion between them, the line the edges follow, how much tooth shows when you talk and smile, where the gum line sits — those relationships are what make a result look natural or not.
Smile designing establishes that plan before any treatment starts. Photographs, measurements and models let the intended result be worked out and shown to you first. The plan then determines what treatment is actually needed — which might be orthodontics, whitening, veneers, crowns, gum work, or a combination.
- The whole smile planned before any tooth is touched
- You see and agree the intended result first
- Treatment chosen to fit the plan, not the other way round
- Often the most conservative option turns out to be the best one
What it may involve
Treatments a plan may draw on
Smile designing is a planning process. Which treatments it leads to depends entirely on what your smile actually needs.
Alignment
Orthodontic treatment where teeth are out of position — often the most conservative route to a better result.
Shape and shade
Whitening, veneers or crowns where colour, shape or proportion are the issue.
Gum contour
Crown lengthening or gum reshaping where the gum line is uneven or sits low.
