The modern aesthetic dentist approaches a true bespoke smile design differently than your average dental practitioner.
The trained and experienced aesthetic dentist looks at and considers symmetry; pays close attention to the details of the individual’s eyes, nose, shape of their face, lips, different types of teeth; their shapes, shades, shadows, gum lines – all equally important in the art and science behind a smile design.
The aesthetic dentist also considers angles, distances, symmetry, and the appearance at rest when speaking, laughing and smiling.
There must exist parameters and a harmonic balance between all the considered elements of a smile. Designing outside of these harmonic-balanced parameters leads to an un-natural and unaesthetic results. For instance, any cosmetic dentist can give you ‘white and bright teeth’ but are they shaped in a natural way that is appropriate to your face, lips, gum lines, etc? Is there a natural look of variation in the shading and shadowing of the teeth? or are they ‘chalky’?
These are just some of the considerations that go into the making of a beautiful smile.
Ceramic is a general term used for dental restorations and encompasses all types of porcelains used in modern dentistry. Known for their durability, biocompatibility, and natural appearance, ceramic restorations provide excellent aesthetic results while maintaining strength and functionality. Different types of porcelain vary in translucency, strength, and suitability for specific restorations, such as crowns, veneers, and bridges. Dr. Lucy helps guide patients in selecting the most appropriate type of ceramic restoration based on their individual dental needs and aesthetic goals, ensuring a beautiful, long-lasting smile tailored to their preferences.

They provide complete protection, restoring both the function and appearance of the tooth.

Made from materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, crowns are designed to blend with the natural teeth while providing long-lasting protection and support.
