Smile Make-over

A smile makeover is the process of improving the appearance of the smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as: veneers, crowns, composite fillings, tooth implants. Sometimes it requires periodontal or orthodontic procedures such as gum grafts, bone grafts, gum contouring, or braces.

​

At GK Dental, we take photographs of your smile and do smile design on computer. Computer imaging allows us to give you a glimpse at your smile after dental care treatment is done. We can generate a simulation of what your finished smile makeover looks like before treatment even starts. We can change with you in chair if there is anything that you don't like: color, spacing, shape of teeth. Think of this as a predictive before and after photo, but one that's very accurate.

Once you are okay with the design, we can go ahead with wax-up. A diagnostic wax-up is a diagnostic procedure in which planned designs are developed in wax on a diagnostic cast to determine optimal clinical and laboratory procedures necessary to achieve the desired esthetics and function.
