What is a Smile Design?


A smile design consists of taking a set of teeth to ideal conditions of size and color, according to the face, personality and specific features of each patient. It is very important to determine the conditions and the expected result since many patients seek in some cases teeth that are not compatible with them, and as a result they will look fake, and with today's dentistry, we seek to bring teeth to a natural and highly harmonious and visually nice state.

This is how we do it in MENTA:


In MENTA, we perform high quality treatments in, always taking into account ethics, naturalness and that they be long-term treatments, for these reasons we do not want to just go in and cut and wear down teeth enamel that will never recovered, unless this is not the best option for the patient and / or he or she does not have the time or money necessary to go about with the ideal treatment.

For the smile design we take into consideration the patient’s face, personality, skin tone, time and expectations. There are patients for whom the smile design can consist of just a whitening treatment and an edges micro polishing to completely change the impact of the smile, in others, it may be orthodontics, and lastly performing minor corrections with composite resins and teeth whitening, and in more complex cases, treatments may include crowns, dentures on implants, individual implants and even orthognathic surgeries. From the smallest case to the largest it is still considered a smile design since the purpose is to reach ideal teeth and impact, significantly improving the overall appearance, giving a much younger and healthier appearance.
 

For this reason, we define the following types of smile designs:

     Non-invasive smile design.

     It is the MOST COMMON type, the most stable in time and the one that causes minimal discomforts.

There are many people that look at their teeth, and although they have already gone through orthodontics and require minimal changes, they are still not satisfied with them. Normally, there are not aesthetically striking because they lack alignment among the incisal level edges, there are teeth with slight movements, teeth size requires some increase, they have surface stains (extrinsic) and color change (intrinsic stains).

For these minor problems there are different treatments:


• Teeth Whitening with trays, LED light or combined
• Micro polishing of edges
• Composite resins to improve dental form
• Gum recontouring (To improve the shape of the gum or increase teeth size)
• Enamel microabrasion: removes brown and / or white surface stains.
• Cleaning, prophylaxis and scaling (removal of dental calculus):

 

Design smile with veneers:

         For patients who do not have enough time, have excessively worn out teeth, very dark teeth stains that cannot be completely removed with whitening or for those who simply do not want to go through orthodontic treatments to correct bad teeth positioning, we have the following great choice.

It consists of a superficial cut in the teeth with major problems, usually those in the area of the smile, we perform teeth whitening in the adjacent teeth to improve the tone, always bearing in mind that this is completely natural and finally we install veneers.

This treatment can be done in a matter of 3 days to 1 week, depending on the urgency of the patient. The duration is minimal since the steps to perform in the laboratory are simple, all this without sacrificing the final quality that they will have.
