The Smile Design Process

We then customize a smile design that suits your budget and schedule; working closely with our laboratory to ensure that each phase is planned with your overall health and the final result in mind. Our Doctors transform your smile using natural-looking materials. You leave our office comfortable and confident.
Enamel Shaping
Enamel shaping is a process of shaping, or contouring natural teeth to improve their overall appearance. When teeth are slightly crowded or uneven, or when eye teeth appear too long, enamel shaping may be used to correct the flaw.
Enamel shaping involves modifying teeth by removing or contouring enamel to create harmony and balance in the mouth. The process, which is often combined with bonding, is usually quick and comfortable. No anesthesia is necessary when shaping the enamel, and the results can be seen immediately. Enamel shaping should be approached with caution, however, because enamel can not be replaced.
Dental Bonding
Bonding involves adhering composite resin material that is matched to the color of the tooth, to the front of the tooth. This is done to repair damage done to the tooth by decay, to alter the alignment of the tooth, close gaps between the teeth, or for cosmetic purposes.
First the surface of the tooth is roughened in order to accept the bonding and hold it. A gel is applied to micro etch the tooth surface, and a primer/bond agent is applied so the material adheres to the surface. Then the material itself is placed on the tooth and hardened with intense light. The composite resin material is shaped and polished to get a lustrous finish as a last step.
