Firstly the dentist will examine your exiting smile, teeth, gums, bite and mouth. You can have a detailed discussion regarding what you dislike about your smile and the aspects you like about your teeth and smile. Thus provides a clear indication of the type of new smile that you are looking for.
Our expert dentists will thereafter plan and design a new smile based upon your specific needs and requests for your new smile makeover. We use an advanced smile design technique (SMILE DESIGN BY 3SHAPE) to design a smile using specially crafted scans of all your teeth. Here you can preview your future smile, through a software, and add your inputs. This helps us to determine the exact aesthetics and cosmetic look that you expect. Till here the whole thing is reversible as no work has been taken place in your mouth clinically. Only once you agree completely with the treatment plan, we begin the process.
The surfaces of your teeth are then prepared to be able to receive the new porcelain shapes. Various diagnostics and records are then taken. However, there are no moulds taken of your teeth since these are simply scanned into a computer. This scanned images are fed into a special milling machine. This is known as “Biocopy”.
The machine is then set to mill your new teeth as per your customized specifications in the biocopy.
