Smile Designing
“Your smile is the most attractive feature of your personality,” says EVERYONE – a social media influencer, a personality development coach, the love-experts, and probably, even your grandmother. You can win the world with a smile and we all know it! But unfortunately, not all of us are born with the perfect smile. And sometimes, age, lifestyle, and the elements take a toll on your smile’s beauty too.
Modern dentistry is well-equipped with the most efficient techniques to give you the smile of your dreams. At Trident Dental Clinic, our Smile Designers offer you a wholesome approach to beautify your style. Let’s take a look below!
What Makes A Smile Beautiful?
- Pearly white teeth
- Properly aligned teeth without any over-crowing or gaps
- Pink gums that are not too visible; they only peek a bit when you smile broadly
- Properly sized teeth that form one smooth line at the tip
What Treatments Are Offered In Smile Designing?
Teeth Whitening: Excessive smoking, drinking, or eating a lot of colored food like candies, turmeric can steal the natural pearly while color from your teeth. A dentist can bleach out this color with chemical agents like hydrogen peroxide or use laser therapy to restore a glittery white in your teeth.
Teeth Alignment: The most common and effective way of repairing teeth overcrowding or gaping is by using braces. These days, we have invisible braces that you can wear in your everyday life without attracting much attention from around. However, in case of severe overcrowding, surgical alignment is also an option to explore. Teeth alignment also includes filling in any missing tooth space with implants or dentures.
Teeth Contouring: “Rodent teeth” is a ringing fear for anyone who possesses a pair of prominent front teeth that are unproportionally larger than their other teeth. These kinds of teeth can be trimmed by expert orthodontists who can make sure that they can safely contour the teeth without affecting the dentin or making the teeth sensitive. Alternatively, for short teeth, orthodontists use veneers or teeth extensions.
Gum Depigmentation: Black or hyperpigmented gums is a common problem among many. Dentists use different techniques to remove such gum tissues. One way is to surgically remove the pigmented area and let it heal naturally with natural pink pigment. However, it is also important to address the underlying issue causing gum darkening to prevent it from recurring again.
Gum Contouring: Some people may suffer from receding gums because of untreated plaque. They can make your smile look skeleton-y. This situation can be handled with gum grafts. On the other hand, some may have a ‘gummy smile’ where the gum covers a big portion of their teeth. This situation is handled by carefully cutting away the excess tissue such that it doesn’t affect the tooth’s health or longevity. This process is called a gum lift.
How Long Does Smile Designing Take?
Smile Designing is not a one-day procedure. It takes some level of time and commitment. The duration of treatment largely depends on the condition of your smile and your smile goals. Your choice of treatment can also be a factor here – you can go for more invasive treatments for a faster result. Most Smile Designs take 6 months to a year to achieve.
