The
benefits
of
Smile Design
Facially-driven smile design is more than a treatment - it's a tailored plan featuring a variety of procedures that will boost your confidence and improve your oral health. Our minimally-invasive approach is aimed at restoring balance, harmony, and health to your smile.
Increased Self-Confidence
A beautiful, radiant smile can significantly boost your self-esteem and help you feel more confident in social and professional situations. You'll find yourself smiling more often and embracing life with newfound assurance.
Enhanced Facial Aesthetics
Our approach to smile design takes into account your facial features, age, and skin tone to create a smile that harmoniously complements your appearance. The result is a more balanced, youthful, and attractive look that lights up your entire face.
Improved Oral Health
Many smile design treatments not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also contribute to better oral health. Correcting misaligned teeth, closing gaps, and addressing other issues can make it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
Smile Design Treatment Options
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can dramatically transform your smile by addressing a wide range of cosmetic concerns, such as discoloration, gaps, chips, and misalignment, leaving you with a dazzling, natural-looking smile. Dr. Saad specializes in minimal-preparation and no-preparation veneers, prioritizing the preservation of as much natural tooth structure as possible.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a clear, removable aligner system that gradually straightens your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. This discreet and comfortable treatment option allows you to achieve a beautifully aligned smile while maintaining your lifestyle and confidence throughout the process. Invisalign treatment can also be used prior to other smile design procedures to ensure longer lasting restorations and more conservative preparation techniques.
Composite Veneers
Composite Veneers are a more economical alternative to porcelain veneers, using tooth-colored composite resin to reshape and enhance your smile. This minimally invasive treatment can be completed in a single visit, allowing you to walk out of our office with a beautifully transformed smile that radiates confidence.
Smile Shaping
Smile Shaping, also known as tooth contouring, is a completely painless technique that subtly reshapes your teeth to create a more harmonious and balanced smile without the need to get numb. By carefully polishing enamel, Dr. Saad can smooth out small chips and irregularities on the edges of the teeth, giving you a beautifully refined smile that shines with confidence.
Laser Gum Lifts
Laser Gum Lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that reshapes and contours your gumline, creating a more symmetrical and attractive frame for your teeth. This treatment can address a "gummy" smile or uneven gum margins, revealing more of your natural tooth structure for a brilliant, balanced smile.
Dental Edge Bonding
Dental Edge Bonding is a versatile, conservative treatment that uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chipped or cracked edges of teeth. This cost-effective option can be used to enhance the appearance of your teeth and complement other restorative and cosmetic treatments in your smile design plan.
Icon White Spot Removal
Icon White Spot Removal is a minimally invasive dental treatment designed to improve the appearance of white spot lesions on teeth. White spot lesions are early signs of tooth decay that appear as chalky, opaque areas on the tooth enamel. The Icon treatment involves applying a special resin material to the affected areas, which infiltrates the porous enamel and helps to blend the white spots with the surrounding healthy tooth structure. No drilling or anesthesia required.
Teeth Whitening
Professional Teeth Whitening can be an excellent complement to your smile design plan, brightening your smile and enhancing the overall results of your treatment. Dr. Saad offers both in-office and take-home whitening options for your convenience.
FAQs
Have questions about smile design? We have answers.
How long does smile design take?
The duration of your smile design treatment will depend on the specific procedures involved and the extent of the changes desired. Some treatments, like teeth whitening or composite veneers, can be completed in a single visit, while others, like Invisalign or porcelain veneers, may require multiple appointments over the course of a few weeks or months. Dr. Saad will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and timeline during your consultation.
Is smile design painful?
Most smile design treatments involve minimal discomfort, and many procedures, such as teeth whitening or laser gum lifting, are virtually painless. For treatments that may cause some sensitivity, such as porcelain veneers, Dr. Saad will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the process by using local anesthesia and offering sedation options if needed. Our team at LALUME Dental Studio prioritizes your comfort and well-being at every step.
How long do the results of smile design last?
The longevity of your smile design results will depend on the specific treatments you receive and how well you maintain your oral health. Procedures like porcelain veneers and Invisalign can provide long-lasting results, often for a decade or more with proper care. Other treatments, such as teeth whitening, may require touch-ups every few months or years to maintain your brilliant smile. Dr. Saad will provide you with guidance on how to care for your new smile and maximize the lifespan of your results.
