Smile Design
Smile Design is a highly technical process requiring great skill and experience to achieve
a natural result. It is not taught at all or only touched upon in dental school - dentists
must learn the techniques in post-graduate courses and then perfect the art through extensive
experience. For this reason, most dentists do not focus on this discipline.
It takes artistic ability and extensive knowledge to perform an impeccable Smile Design. Techniques require precise measurements based upon mouth shape, gum lines, lips, and natural shape of the teeth. That's why Dr. Mikels devotes time to precisely planning a Smile Design before he begins the actual procedure.
During a patient's initial consultation, Dr. Mikels can download a digital photograph into an imaging program and show his client what their new smile can look like. Extensive Smile Design treatments may require as few as two appointments that are typically several hours each depending on the complexity.
