Whether cosmetic dentistry patients have a simple goal like whiter teeth, or their needs are broader and more complex in nature, those individuals are great candidates for a digital smile design. Encinitas cosmetic dentist Mark Galli offers numerous treatments to create stunning smiles that reflect the unique beauty of his patients, and digital smile design allows a patient to see what an enhanced smile can look like.
The smile design process involves the patient identifying what they would consider changing about their smile, and then improving those elements on a digital photograph of their smile. Smile design can address a number of cosmetic concerns, including the following:
Your smile design journey will begin with a consultation with Dr. Galli. The goal of this discussion is to establish an understanding of your specific concerns and options for treatment. Dr. Galli may ask you questions about what you like and dislike about your teeth, what you want to change and how you feel about your smile in general.
Dr. Galli may also inquire about your oral health and even your general health. He will perform a visual examination of your teeth and mouth to get a baseline of your oral health status. Photographs, X-rays or other images may be taken, as well. If Dr. Galli finds any areas of decay or disease, those problems may be addressed before proceeding with cosmetic treatment.
It’s also helpful at this stage for Dr. Galli to examine your facial characteristics. Your face shape, facial features, skin color, hair color, complexion and lip form are important and will influence the eventual appearance of your smile.
Once Dr. Galli has a complete understanding of your concerns and desired visual outcomes, he can start to map out strategies to meet your smile design goals. He will explain the available treatment procedures and tooth restorations that can be used. Together, you will evaluate the pros and cons of each choice and decide on the full scope of treatment.
Your smile design treatment plans can include any combination of the following:
Some techniques change the color and shape of the natural teeth; others use artificial restorations to improve the appearance of missing or irregular teeth.
Depending on the treatment plan, Dr. Galli may be able to improve your smile in a single appointment. With more complex issues, it may take several dental appointments, depending on the pace you are comfortable with, to create your desired smile.
