What Is Smile Design?

Smile Design is a comprehensive approach to creating a beautiful smile that enhances your facial aesthetics. This process involves careful planning and consideration of various factors, including:

  • Facial Features | We take into account the shape of your face, lips, and jawline to create a harmonious smile.
  • Tooth Color and Shape | Choosing the right shade and shape of your teeth can significantly impact your smile’s overall look.
  • Gum Health | Healthy gums are essential for a beautiful smile. We assess your gum condition to ensure the best outcomes.

With Smile Design, our goal is to create a smile that complements your unique features and boosts your confidence, leaving you with results you’ll love to share.

Smile Makeover

A full smile makeover is a detailed dental treatment designed to improve the aesthetics of your smile. This process can address a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Stained or Discolored Teeth | Teeth whitening and veneers can restore brightness and vitality.
  • Chipped or Broken Teeth | Bonding and crowns can repair damage and enhance tooth appearance.
  • Misaligned Teeth | Orthodontic treatments, including braces or clear aligners, can correct alignment issues.
  • Gummy Smiles | Gum contouring can reshape your gum line for a more balanced smile.

Each makeover is crafted using the principles of Smile Design, ensuring that every treatment choice—from tooth color and shape to alignment and gum contouring—harmonizes with your facial features. By incorporating Smile Design into the planning process, we create a smile that not only looks beautiful but also complements your unique appearance, bringing out your most radiant self.

The Smile Design and Smile Makeover Process

With Smile Design working behind the scenes in each patient’s smile makeover, you can expect to go through a streamlined and stress-free smile makeover process at The Lodi Dentist. Our typical treatment plan follows these steps:

Comprehensive Evaluation

Our team will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health to identify any underlying issues that need to be addressed.

Discussion of Options

Together, we’ll explore various treatment options and create a plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals and budget.

Implementation

Once you’re satisfied with your plan, we’ll begin the treatment process. Depending on your needs, this may involve multiple visits to achieve your desired results. If you have missing teeth to replace with implants as well as other cosmetic treatments for your natural teeth, the process could take up to several weeks. If you are getting a simple veneer and whitening makeover, your smile makeover could be as quick as a single appointment.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover can benefit a wide range of patients, but whether you are a good candidate depends on several factors. Here are some considerations to help you determine if a smile makeover might be right for you:

Dental Health

Ideally, candidates should have healthy gums and teeth. Any existing dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease, should be addressed first.

Aesthetic Goals

If you have specific goals for your smile, such as whitening, straightening, or repairing chipped teeth, you are likely a good candidate.

Commitment to Treatment

Smile makeovers often require multiple visits and different procedures. Being committed to completing the treatment plan is crucial.

Overall Health

Be sure to inform our dentists about any medical conditions or medications that could affect treatment. Some conditions may require special considerations.

Age

While there’s no specific age limit, younger candidates should have completed their growth spurts, especially if orthodontic treatment is involved.

Financial Considerations

Smile makeovers can vary in cost depending on the treatments involved. Be prepared to discuss financial options with our office.
