Dental Smile Design

The first step in obtaining the perfect smile is performing a dental smile design consultation with Mona Lisa Smiles. The purpose of the consultation is to fully understand what your expectations are and to ensure you that we will be with you every step of the way. There are three basic categories of dental smile design :

•  The sexy smile – Because the central incisors tend to be longer than the other front teeth when the first come in and then wear down over time, we associate more prominent longer central incisors with youth and sexiness

•  The sophisticated smile – In contrast to the sexy smile teeth in the sophisticated smile make a straight horizontal line and convey maturity and intelligence.

•  The sporty smile – This type of dental smile design is in between sophisticated and sexy. A sporty smile design conveys casualness and informality. It is not quite as serious as the sophisticated smile design nor as young as the sexy smile.

The dental smile design you choose should be influenced by:

•  The shape of your face - A long face may need to accentuate width to appear more oval.

•  The way you desire to be perceived – A sophisticated smile shows intelligence while a sexy smile highlights warmth and energy

•  Your age or how 'young' you want to appear – Whiter teeth and longer incisors help you appear younger. Conversely, a flatter smile makes you appear more mature.

During the dental smile design consultation one of our expert dentists will go over each of these points answering any questions you may have. To help you select a specific dental smile design , you will be shown case studies of dental smile designs . Our expert may disagree with your decision based on your facial features or appearance, but ultimately the smile is yours to be happy with and therefore you have the final say.
