Smile Design in Goring

What is Smile design?

Smile design is a personalised dental approach that focuses on improving the overall appearance of your smile. It considers factors such as tooth shape, size, colour, alignment, and how your teeth relate to your lips and facial features. Treatments are carefully planned to achieve a natural-looking result while maintaining good oral health.

A combination of techniques may be used, depending on your individual needs, including whitening, veneers, bonding, or orthodontic treatment.

  • • A more balanced and harmonious smile
  • • Improved confidence in your appearance
  • • Tailored treatment based on your preferences and dental condition
  • • Can address multiple concerns such as discolouration, spacing, or uneven teeth
What does smile design involve?
Consultation and planning

Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. They will also discuss your goals and expectations. Photographs, digital scans, or impressions may be taken to help plan your treatment.

Trial smile (where appropriate)

In some cases, a preview or mock-up of your new smile can be created so you can see how the final result may look before treatment begins.

Treatment options

Depending on your needs, smile design may include:

  • • Teeth whitening to improve colour
  • • Composite bonding to reshape or repair teeth
  • • Veneers to enhance shape and appearance
  • • Orthodontics to correct alignment
  • • Gum contouring to improve the gum line
How long does smile design take?

The length of treatment varies depending on the procedures involved. Some treatments, such as bonding, may be completed in a single visit, while others, like orthodontics, may take several months.

Important information

Smile design treatments are tailored to each individual, and results can vary. Not all treatments are suitable for every patient, and your dentist will advise you on the most appropriate options.

Please note that cosmetic treatments may not be available on the NHS and are usually provided privately. Existing restorations such as crowns, veneers, or fillings may not match the new shade of your teeth and could require replacement to achieve a consistent result.
