Cosmetic Assessment
Cosmetic Dentistry Approach to Smile Assessment
YOUR FIRST VISIT
Will involve a thorough examination with our cosmetic dentists; Dr Tehranian or Dr. Kaviani where existing dental conditions are recorded and any treatment required noted. This examination includes an assessment of your gum health as gum disease is quite common and affects your overall health. It is necessary to take xrays which allows us to check between your teeth and under fillings , crown work to detect any signs of decay. We utilize digital radiography which uses much less radiation than traditional x-rays. In some cases we may also take an OPG which is a full mouth scan of all your teeth, upper and lower jaw in the one film.
At this visit an oral cancer check is also carried out. Early detection of abnormal soft tissues is vital. The gathering of this information assists us to formulate a personalized cosmetic dentistry treatment plan so that we can then inform and discuss with you your treatment needs.We aim at all times to put you at ease and make your visit a happy, pleasant, gentle experience.
SMILE ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT
The important foremost step to a healthy, attractive smile; A thorough and detailed examination provides key information regarding the health and condition of every tooth, and lets us evaluate how your bite affects your smile and dental health. The human mouth is a stage and is framed by the lips and the soft tissue that surround the teeth. If either of these deviates from the accepted norm, even if the teeth are straight and white, the smile may appear unsightly. Cosmetic dentistry is not the correction of individual parameters but takes a "holistic" approach harmonizing the individual dental elements to create a smile that captures well being. We no longer think of teeth as isolated structures that may need to be repaired, but as vital components in a complex neural network that sustains our lives.
A Smile assessment finally ends with looking at the teeth. But before that, strange as it may sound, many other characteristics such as skin tone, hair colour, facial lines..... and the shape of the face need to be taken into account. Teeth are looked at in relation to surrounding tissues and in relation to themselves. Their colour, form, shape, angulation, and alignment are all identities of individuality. Following this assessment and discussion all our patients receive a written and signed "report" of recommended treatments to meet their individual goals and budget. You'll discover how healthy your current smile really is, and learn the exact time and cost associated with finally having your "dream smile"created by your cosmetic dentists in Preston.
SMILE MAKEOVER
A Smile Makeover can transform your smile in as little as few weeks and be the perfect cosmetic dentistry solution for crooked, uneven, worn down, chipped and discoloured teeth.
Beginning with a comprehensive smile assessment, we will discuss with you how best to achieve the most beautiful, natural looking smile. Every patient is unique so we design your smile specifically to suit you and your particular features - assessing factors such as face shape, tooth colour and tooth size. Your cosmetic dentists in Preston utilizes a variety of highly effective techniques create your new smile. Many of our patients experience a dramatic increase in their self esteem because, often for the first time, they can smile openly with a new level of confidence.
Because this is a makeover, not just a few front teeth, we are very conscious about how each tooth restoration will effect the other. Replacing the front six or eight teeth might make the most sense when considering what most people will see when you smile, but only enhancing a few front teeth can mean those new teeth might be prone to break or chip. An aesthetic makeover without proper planning and follow through is not in our patients' best long-term interest.
Since we strive for the highest quality and long-term patient satisfaction, it is difficult to proceed unless the patient approves a comprehensive makeover when warranted. Not every patient needs a comprehensive makeover, but we want to make sure our patients get the care they deserve.
