Written by Dr. Follette on Mar 20, 2021

Your smile is unique, which is why your aesthetic treatment plan needs to be personalized to suit your needs. Today our Santa Monica cosmetic dentists are giving you some more information about key priorities and consideration during aesthetic treatment. Keep reading to learn more! 

Build a Strong Foundation 

The first priority as we start the treatment process is to ensure that we fix any existing oral health issues. The good news is that we are often able to address health issues and improve aesthetics simultaneously. Our reasoning is simple—it just doesn’t make sense to use a quick-fix to make your smile look better, without doing the work to ensure that your underlying dental foundation is strong.

Whiten & Refresh 

Generally speaking, patients consider white enamel to look young and healthy. Unfortunately, our teeth tend to accumulate stains as we get older—so our smiles lose a little of their luster. You can always whiten your natural enamel with state-of-the-art gels. Additionally, you can decide to cover existing enamel with composite resin or porcelain. In both cases, you can quickly get back to showing off a smile that is white and luminous!

Perfect Dental Proportions 

Another consideration is how well-balanced and proportional your smile, as a whole, appears. If you have over-sized or disproportionately small teeth, you’ll likely notice that your smile doesn’t have the seamless, well-designed look that you want. Our team uses to composite resin dental bonding, custom crowns, porcelain veneers, and gum tissue reshaping to achieve a harmonious look.
