Smile Designing
Smile designing is a revolutionary dental treatment that enables you to have the smile of your dreams. Also, It includes reshaping or restructuring the front teeth, gums, and lip position to get the golden proportion and the perfect smile that suits you the best. Our dental clinic in Pandalam and Pathanamthitta creates perfect methods for designing your smile.
White Aesthetics
The treatments associated with teeth consist of the following:
Fillings match the color of the teeth: The shape and size of the teeth are modified mainly using different types of composite restorative material to get ideal proportions and spacing between them. Also, these are the fastest and relatively most cost-effective ways of getting a better smile.
Dental veneers consist of lithium disilicate partial caps covering only the teeth’ outer facing surface and require minimal tooth preparation compared to conventional crowns and bridges. In the indicated cases, this gives the best and most magical results when done meticulously.
Zirconia crowns and bridges: when spacing is more than what can be corrected by the above two techniques, or one or more teeth are damaged due to caries of fracture, this is the best option to correct the problem. When finished, you may find it difficult to differentiate between natural teeth and zirconia crowns.
Teeth whitening: This consists of using various oxidizing agents in different concentrations to whiten the shade of your teeth and give you the smile you need to brighten the world around you. Depending on the technique, it can be office bleach or home breach.
Pink Aesthetics
Treatments associated with gums include;
Gingivoplasty consists of gingival reshaping to improve the gingiva’s shape and contour and correct mild gummy smile problems. This procedure helps to accommodate and complement the aesthetic treatments done for the teeth.
Gingival depigmentation: this treatment is for those who have dark pigmented gingiva and wish to correct it to complement their beautiful white smile. We can either scrap this with scalpel radiofrequency cautery or lasers.
Facial Aesthetics
Facial growth deformities: these can be corrected surgically or non-surgically depending on the phase of growth the patient is in. If we start at the right growing age, we can control and manage the deformity with camouflage treatment without needing a major surgical procedure. Still, when the deformity becomes too apparent and extensive, treating it with a combined approach between an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontist to get the best appearance and function possible is better.
Reshaping and repositioning the lips: this can be done as an adjunct or independent procedure to improve the size, shape, and position of the lips and may consist of lip lengthening for a gummy smile, lip debulking surgeries to reduce the size and improve the aesthetic proportion, bikini lip surgery for reshaping the lips, or use of fillers to increase the bulk and improve the shape of the lips.
