A cosmetic dentist has a certain passion that makes him or her want to dedicate his or her practice to the smile design aspect of cosmetic dentistry and to pursue extensive training in this special field. If you are contemplating a change in your smile, we recommend using the services of our trained cosmetic dentist at Smilebuilderz. This is one time you will want a highly trained cosmetic dentist, not a general dentist, to provide you with a natural and comfortable smile.

A smile design is truly a work of art! Smile design is the enhancement of a smile using a combination of methods by our cosmetic dentist. A client’s eyes, lip line, coloring, gum tissue contouring and face are all considered when a new smile is designed. Our goal, at Smilebuilderz is to redesign your smile so that it fits you, is beautiful, strong and natural looking. We want to give you a smile that will make you want to smile for years to come!

Factors that influence the smile design are:

• What is your facial shape? For example, a long face may need to accentuate width to appear more oval. Someone, with attractive features in the center of the face, may need bold central incisors to draw attention to that center.
• How do you want to appear to others? A sophisticated smile gives the appearance of more intelligence, maturity and judgment. A sexy smile gives the appearance of more warmth, energy and boldness.
• How old do you want to look? Longer central incisors make you appear younger. Also, whiter teeth make you appear younger. Conversely, a flatter smile or a more subdued color to the teeth make you appear more mature.

With your smile design consultation, our expert cosmetic dentist at Smilebuilderz in Lancaster PA, will review all of these factors. He might have you take a look at various smiles from a book of photographs, however our cosmetic dentist may disagree with your selection and will tell you, but the final decision is still yours. Ultimately, you have to be the one who is happy with your smile.
