Creating a perfect smile using smile designing may need a combination of orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, orthognathic surgery, and periodontal surgery. Indirect restorations will be a part of the final treatment plan and involve the dental technicians and lab support for the final restorations like veneers, crowns, implant prostheses, etc. Smile designing involves understanding the patient’s expectations from the treatment and evaluating various face parameters. An exhaustive analysis of your original smile, natural teeth through photographs and videos, along with the assessment of the individual’s personality, is done. Intraoral scans are also taken. Following this, digital smile designing software is used to create 3D models and simulate your desired smiles. The final appearance is discussed with the patients, and their recommendations are taken. The entire procedure requires multiple appointments and may take few weeks to months, to complete depending on the methods to be undertaken. Your dentist will discuss the treatment at length with you and provide you a timHow long to recover? When can I get back to work? Most of the procedures undertaken in smile designing are non-invasive, so you may not need any downtime and may rejoin work immediately. However, if implant surgery is included, you may take a week or more to resume normal activities. Other surgical procedures like gum surgery may also need a week or two of the recovery period.
