Smile is undoubtedly one of the most important facial features. When teeth start to wear, their length diminishes and their color gets darker. Sometimes we just have genetically inherited small teeth that are barely visible. In the attempt to show more teeth when smiling, the excessive use of the face muscles causes more wrinkles hence an aging effect. Redesigning the smile with porcelain laminate veneers turns back the time and gives you a refreshed, healthy & younger look.

Facially driven smile design made possible the pre-visualization of the final outcome even before treatment started.

We designed a smile maintaining the space between the central incisors and one without the interdental space. After simulating these two options intraorally and evaluating them on before and after pictures and on shorts films, the smile design project without the interdental space was finally chosen.
