Designing your smile for Porcelain Dental Veneers

The design of each smile in most cases depends on the combination of teeth shapes (in particular the incisal edges) of the front six(6) anterior teeth. There have been many authors that have given names of the styles of the teeth. The designs include but are not limited to:

• Teeth design where all the teeth are the same length
  
• Design where the central incisors are longer than the lateral incisors
• Canines can be made either prominent or subtle
• The teeth design many have the edges of the teeth are square.
  
• or... the edges can be rounded
• or... oval
• Many ... many other combinations
• In total there may be 1,000 different combinations of styles ( same authors even state more possibilities).

In addition to the shape and length other elements are considered by our Lone Tree Colorado Dentists include:

• Uniform color or a veneer (less life- like)
  
• Graded color from gum line to incisal edge
  
• Difference in texture on the surface of the veneer
• Opacity and translucency of the veneers.

What will be the perfect smile style for you?

The perfect smile style for you will be based on what you like. Our Lone Tree Dentists have a number of smile gallery's that give us an idea on what direction you wish to take you smile. From your input our office take impressions of your current teeth and our cosmetic dental laboratory fabricates your proposed smile in dental wax so you can see what your proposed smile looks like in three dimensions. Our Lone Tree dentists have found that dental imaging is best used to generate interest and not to establish outcomes.

In certain cases (not all) we can test drive your smile from the diagnostic wax up. Cases where the teeth are significantly flaired or rotated do not work. We want you be certain you wish to proceed and our goal is to meet or exceed your expectations. The trial smile may be the way to see if this is for you.
