During your Smile Design Consultation appointment, Dr. Shaikh takes strategic photos and videos and performs a detailed analysis to help in:
- Evaluating your face, smile, and intraoral & functional condition
- Observing and documenting lip position and teeth display while speaking or smiling
- Identifying existing dental concerns and understanding their consequences
- Determining possible personalized treatment options
Impressions (molds) of your teeth are taken, and your jaw joint relation is accurately measured and transferred to the computer. Dr. Shaikh then carefully designs your smile digitally, allowing you to preview your transformation in your own photos—an exciting step in your smile journey.
At the Mock-Up or Trial Smile Design appointment, this new smile is temporarily recreated in your mouth. This trial lets you visualize the final result of your veneer treatment before it begins. Patients often find this experience thrilling as they already start smiling with newfound confidence!
