Smile makeover or smile designing is
a thorough undertaking that incorporates complex cosmetic and restorative
dental practices to enhance the general cosmetic quality of an individual's
smile. It is a customised course of treatment that considers several elements
like facial features, skin tone, gum tissue, and the line of the lips to
produce an excellent and complementary smile. The aim is not to simply whiten
teeth, but create a healthy, natural and balanced-looking smile that
complements the features of that particular individual.
Reasons to have Smile Designing:
● Discoloured or Stained Teeth: The ageing process, your habits (coffee or tea drinking) or medication may lead to the discolouration of teeth. Professional teeth whitening, veneers, or crowns may be involved in successful smile design to help one look brighter and more vivid.

● Misaligned or Gapped Teeth: Crooked
teeth or obvious gaps between them may spoil a person's smile. Straightening
the teeth and closing the gaps with orthodontic treatment, clear aligners or
veneers to give a more uniform look is possible.
● Worn, Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Worn-out teeth due to
grinding, chipped teeth because of a mishap, or a cracked tooth can be
corrected due to smile designing. This mainly includes cosmetic bonding,
veneers, or crowns to reconstruct the teeth and rectify the shape and size of
the teeth.
Impacts of Smile Designing:
● Improved facial esthetics. A
well-planned smile goes a long way in determining the overall facial beauty of
an individual. As much as the teeth, gums, and facial parts are involved in the
process, they will be able to produce a more balanced and younger look.
● Better Oral Health: Several teeth
smile design interventions, like restoring the teeth that were worn or damaged,
enhance an individual's oral health. By aligning such problems as misalignments
and gaps, teeth cleaning would be easier, and the possible risks of decay and
gum disease can be avoided.
● Enhanced confidence and self-esteem:
No psychological effect can be overstated when one has a smile that they are
proud of. A successful smile makeover may represent a serious increase in
self-confidence that may make a person feel more at ease socially or at the
workplace.
● Permanence: When smile design is well cared for, it can last
long. Other interventions, such as veneers and crowns, are meant to last many
years and are a permanent solution to cosmetic dental issues.
