Smile design

Prior to any aesthetic treatment (regarding the frontal teeth area), UNIDENT UNION Dental Spa always performs the following:

A SMILE ANALYSIS, also called a SMILE DESIGN, in order to:

• make a record of pre-treatment condition of both dentiture and smile,
• determine the overall treatment outcome.

A smile analysis checklist includes the morphological, aesthetic and functional parameters.

A SMILE ANALYSIS CHECKLIST (selected elements):

1. Symmetry – the facial midline.
2. Length of upper incisors exposure at rest.
3. Zenith points.
4. The location of interdental contact points.
5. Incisal embrasure – analysis of tooth edge between incisors and fangs.
6. Axle adjustment for incisors, fangs and premolars - so called axial inclinations.
7. Tooth dimensions and proportions - gum-line shape, degree of tooth convexity degree, etc.
8. Sex. There are differences in tooth length, shape and positioning in men and women.
9. Age. Older people tend to have shorter teeth.
10. Personality. Different personalities have different shape of individual teeth (softer or sharper).
11. The lip line.

After the SMILE DESIGN analysis has been completed and the treatment plan has been adopted:

1. A patient is shown a computer generated visualisation of the smile changes as the treatment progresses.
2. With wax-up and mock-up removable overlays a patient can try-in and visualise a mock-up of their final smile (to see the shape and colour of their teeth).
3. For the duration of the treatment, a patient receives high-quality temporary crowns for an immediate aesthetic improvement.
