Smile design is more than tooth colour
The smile line, tooth proportions, gum levels, lip movement and facial features are assessed together. Speech, chewing and the bite are considered alongside aesthetic goals.
Laminate veneers and zirconia
Laminate veneers may be planned with limited preparation in suitable cases. Zirconia restorations may be an option where different strength or aesthetic requirements exist.
The choice depends on remaining tooth structure, discolouration, bite forces, grinding habits and harmony with neighbouring teeth.
Stages and maintenance
After examination and records, goals are discussed. Provisional designs or try-in stages may be used to review form and function. Oral hygiene, regular examinations and individual preventive advice are important after treatment.
