Aesthetic smile design is a personalised process that evaluates tooth shape, colour, proportions, gum levels and the relationship between teeth and lips. At OG Dental Clinic, suitable aesthetic cases are planned within a five-day clinical visit using zirconia crowns, E-Max restorations or laminate veneers when indicated.

Examination and Personalised Assessment

During consultation, photographs and oral examination help assess the smile line, visible tooth length, bite and existing dental work. A very white or perfectly symmetrical result may not be the most natural choice for every face. Dr. OG, the clinic's founder and a third-generation dentist with 29 years of professional experience, advocates planning around a patient's individual anatomy and functional needs.

Treatment Stages and Timeline

The team considers how many teeth genuinely require treatment before recommending any preparation. Temporary restorations and try-ins can help review speech, colour and chewing comfort. The clinic reports using Ivoclar products for aesthetic restorations and an eight-year warranty policy, with eligibility and exclusions to be confirmed in writing.

Key Considerations When Choosing Treatment

Restoration selection should not be based only on the front teeth visible in photographs. The existing bite, contacts with the lower teeth and gum condition must also be assessed. The same degree of whiteness and tooth length will not suit every face. If an option preserves more of the patient’s natural tooth, the reasons for accepting or rejecting it should be explained. At the clinic, suitable aesthetic smile-design cases follow a five-day programme; the details of those five days are tailored to examination, preparation, impressions, try-ins and final checks. Gum disease or infection may need treatment first. Ceramic restorations do not respond to whitening gels like natural teeth. Final shade, lip harmony and bite should therefore be checked during a try-in before permanent placement. The clinic reports using Ivoclar products for aesthetic restorations and offering an eight-year warranty policy; the details must appear in the patient’s written treatment and warranty documents.

Additional Information for Patients

During the consultation, ask which individual teeth would be treated, whether a less invasive alternative is reasonable, and how the restoration will be maintained. The proposed shade, tooth length and bite contacts deserve as much attention as the material's brand name. Before agreeing to irreversible preparation, patients should know what changes are expected and what limitations remain.

Aftercare

Maintaining results depends on following recommendations for a protective night guard if the patient clenches or grinds their teeth, maintaining good oral hygiene and attending annual check-ups. Using front teeth to crack very hard objects or using restorations as tools may cause damage. Mild sensitivity can occur after treatment, but persistent pain or the feeling that the bite is too high requires review.
