Are you happy with the appearance of your teeth?
Do you feel confident when you smile?
Do you avoid smiling for photographs?

Recent advances mean that anything from simply whitening your teeth to recreating your smile can be achieved. Creating a natural smile can be reduced to two main areas:

  1. Colour
  2. Shape and Form

Colour

Situations we commonly work with are:

Matching restorations to existing colour:
Before and after a single porcelain veneer
Before a single porcelain veneer - to hide discoloured tooth
Before

After
Changing existing tooth colour:

Before directed home bleaching - stains on teeth
Before
After directed home bleaching -  stains removed
After
A combination of changing existing tooth colour
and then matching restorations to the new colour:

Bleaching upper teeth before replacing composite restorations

Before treatment - stains on teeth

Shape and Form

An attractive natural smile is all about symmetry.
If you notice someone's teeth as being unattractive it is generally due to a lack of symmetry. The human body like many things in nature is not only symmetrical about the midline but also has a constant proportion. These are known quantities and if kept to, then the creation of a natural smile becomes predictable.

Problems attributed to poor symmetry can be:
  • Uneven gum line
  • Worn down "aged " teeth
  • Twisted / crooked teeth
  • Uneven jaw alignment
