Health first
Gums, decay, existing restorations and bite are assessed before aesthetic treatment.
Smile design
A smile designed around health and proportion.
Patient-specific smile design with oral-health assessment, material discussion, travel planning and maintenance guidance.
Material clarity
Whitening, veneers and crowns have different indications, maintenance and tooth-preparation needs.
Preview where appropriate
A mock-up or provisional phase may support communication when clinically suitable.
What is smile design?
Smile design is a planning process rather than one treatment. Depending on clinical need it may involve cleaning, whitening, composite restorations, veneers, crowns, orthodontics or gum care.
What is assessed?
Facial proportions, lip movement, tooth display, shade, shape, gum levels, existing restorations and the bite are considered together.
How are options selected?
Whitening changes natural tooth shade but not fillings or crowns. Veneers, composite and crowns have different preparation and maintenance needs. Orthodontics may be more conservative for marked position problems.
How is the result maintained?
Daily brushing, interdental cleaning and regular reviews remain essential. Grinding, nail biting and using teeth to open hard objects can increase restoration risk.
After you return home
Remote follow-up with clear limits.
Remote communication supports recovery but does not replace an examination when urgent or hands-on care is needed.
Before departure
Written care and medication instructions are reviewed.
Early check-in
The coordinator checks recovery by WhatsApp after the agreed procedure.
Remote review
Photos or a video call can support dentist-led follow-up when appropriate.
Long-term care
Patients are reminded to continue routine examinations and hygiene care locally.
