What is smile enhancement?

Smile enhancement or a smile makeover is a procedure that improves the appearance of one's smile to a considerable extent through several processes related to cosmetic dentistry. The reason for undergoing smile enhancement may vary from one individual to another. Improving one's grin is equal parts science and art. Maintaining a level of beauty and functionality over time and with minimal maintenance calls for a high degree of skill, expertise, and planning.

Dr Patel can digitally analyse and design your smile by following extra-oral and intra-oral evaluations, which consist of taking initial photos and making moulds of your teeth. Dr Patel can transfer the design into your mouth with temporary resin material in many cases. This procedure does not require any pre-treatment on your teeth, and the material can be removed immediately. You can assess your new customised smile for approval or further modifications at this trial stage. Dr Patel will ensure that aesthetic and functional parameters are met before finalising the treatment.

Some of the smile makeover processes may include:

• Composite bonding
• Dental implants
• Dental veneers
• Teeth whitening
• Orthodontics
• Dental crowns
• Dental bridges

What is Digital Smile Design?

In order to help patients visualise their final results before beginning orthodontic treatment, dentists can use a technological tool called Digital Smile Design (DSD) to create a digital mock-up of the patient's new smile design and show it to them. This technology promotes visual communication and patient participation in the smile design process, which contributes to higher levels of patient satisfaction and more predictable treatment outcomes. Too many dentists focus solely on fixing the teeth, which can lead to problems with the proportions, colour, shape, and harmony of the smile. Once you've met with Dr Patel and discussed your dental goals, you'll have the rare opportunity to see your future smile before any work is done.

What is SmileFy?

The SmileFy software is unlike any other solution on the market today. In order to improve the accuracy and predictability of dental care, the software allows dentists to develop individualised treatment plans for each patient, all while adhering to facially driven workflows. SmileFy streamlines the smile design process by developing new technologies and improving existing ones to make the design of a person's smile simple, fast, and accurate. SmileFy uses all patient records efficiently, designing the best smile and developing a comprehensive treatment plan in minutes by analysing and interpreting the connections between patient data and diagnostics.
