What makes a perfect smile?
A perfect smile lifts a persons confidence and makes them feel more attractive. Whichever perfect smile you choose, whether it is a Hollywood white smile or a more natural look, symmetry is extremely important.
| Symmetry The front teeth should be symmetrical in size, length and shape. This provides an aesthetically beautiful result. |
 |
| Horizontal Alignment The ideal smile line should be parallel to the horizontal plane. |
 |
| Smile Line When smiling the edges of your lower teeth should be parallel to the lower lip. |
 |
| Gum Line The gum line connects the highest points of the gum levels of the upper teeth. Ideally this line should follow the line of the upper lip, to ensure minimum gum exposure and optimum display of the teeth on smiling. |
 |
| Smile Width A narrow smile hides the back teeth. A wider smile allows perfect progression from front to back teeth, giving a more attractive smile. |
 |
| Golden Proportions The golden rule of proportion describes an ideal ratio of the visible widths of the front six teeth. |
 |
| Tooth Proportions 100% height and 75% in width are the ideal proportions of each tooth to achieve a beautiful smile. |
 |
| Embrasures Embrasures are the small triangular spaces between the tips of the teeth. These are artistically created by the ceramist and dentist to ensure a natural look. |
 |
| Lips The shape fullness and symmetry of your lips can be optimised the ideal smile. Dermal fillers can also enhance the lips. |
