In cosmetic dentistry, determining the right amount of tooth preparation is truly an art form. It requires more than technical skill, it demands vision & sensitivity to each patient’s unique features. Proper preparation not only safeguards the natural health of the teeth but also creates the perfect space for veneers or restorations to fit seamlessly.
When done with precision and artistry, this careful balance allows the dentist to design a smile that feels authentic, one that complements the patient’s facial structure, personality & individuality. The result is a natural, radiant smile that reflects identity as much as beauty.
Tooth to tooth
The central incisors slightly dominant, laterals a little shorter, canines framing the smile. Widths that decrease gradually towards the back, not identical teeth in a row.
Teeth to lips
The edges following the curve of the lower lip, the upper lip showing a little gum or none, and the midline near the centre of the face.
Symmetry with character
Perfect mirror symmetry looks artificial; balanced asymmetry looks natural. The design keeps the small differences that belong to the face.
