Smile Design
Begin with the details that make your smile yours.
The smile you have in mind may be a subtle refinement or a more noticeable change. Smile design gives us a way to understand your preferences and bring them into a clinically informed plan.
A conversation before a treatment decision
What do you like about your smile? What would you like to change? We consider your answers alongside the condition of your teeth and gums, your bite and the overall appearance of your smile.
From preferences to a proposal
Shade, shape and proportion are discussed together with the practical implications of treatment. The aim is to help you understand your choices and identify an approach that reflects both your expectations and your clinical needs.

Decide on treatment after your questions have been answered.
The Clinic Kuru design process
Digital design is reviewed by both the patient and dentist before the mock-up. We revisit shape and shade during the mock-up and proceed with patient feedback and clinical approval. The final review considers aesthetics, natural character, function and speech.
Questions patients ask
Is smile design a single treatment?
It describes a planning approach. The resulting proposal may involve one treatment, several treatments or a recommendation to address oral health needs first.
Will I need veneers or crowns?
Not necessarily. The recommendation depends on your assessment. We will explain why a particular option is being considered.
Can a preview show my exact final result?
Digital design and the mock-up support discussion of the proposed appearance. They help you explore the proposed design; the final outcome depends on the clinical treatment.
Start with what you would like to keep, as well as what you would like to change.
Your treatment recommendation depends on an individual clinical assessment. We explain the options, relevant risks and proposed stages before you decide how to proceed.
