Understanding Cosmetic Dentistry: Key Concepts

To make informed decisions about your cosmetic dental care, it’s helpful to understand some fundamental concepts:

1. Three Aspects of Color in Teeth: Hue (the color itself), chroma (the intensity of the color), and value (the brightness of the color).
2. Golden Proportion Rule: A principle that helps in designing a smile that is harmonious and aesthetically pleasing by ensuring the proportions of the teeth are balanced.
3. Comprehensive Training: Our dentists undergo rigorous training in cosmetic dentistry to stay updated with the latest techniques and technologies, ensuring you receive the highest quality care.

Options for Every Smile

Most people aren’t sure what they need or want when they seek cosmetic dental care. You might be considering straightening your teeth or getting dental veneers, but it’s not just about choosing braces or veneers—it’s about achieving an incredible smile that boosts your confidence.

Our experts at Dental Care Stamford will guide you through various options, explaining the benefits and considerations of each, and helping you make an informed decision. Whether it involves orthodontic treatment, veneers, whitening, or a combination of these, we create a tailored plan to achieve results you’ll be proud to show off.

The Story Behind the Smile

1.) Dariusz, frustrated with his upper jaw crossbite and missing front teeth, was overwhelmed by previous recommendations of major surgery and years of braces. Dr. Simon suggested the Six Month Smiles system to correct his teeth in a year, followed by an implant. In 11 months, the crossbite was fixed, and our team coordinated to place the implant perfectly. Dr. Neichen completed the implant in one visit, and Dr. Simon created a fixed dental bridge in two visits, resulting in a spectacular, natural-looking smile without surgery, thanks to our team’s collaboration.

2.) Mary had a very crooked bite and disliked her smile. Another dental office told her she needed 10 veneers or crowns, or 2 years of braces—options that were beyond her budget and patience. When she came to us, we discovered our clear braces treatment could achieve her desired results in just 8 months, fitting perfectly within her budget and timeframe. She now has a stunning new smile.

3.) Chris, unfortunately, sought cosmetic work elsewhere without a list of essential questions to ask her previous dentist. That dentist lacked knowledge of the golden proportion rule and likely had not undergone the specialized training required to master it. When Chris found us, we were able to transform her smile into something natural and beautiful by applying all three key concepts and taking the time to understand her smile’s unique needs and desires. Since she already had oversized and out-of-proportion veneers, Dr. Neichen, our in-house periodontist, sculpted her gum tissue so Dr. Simon could restore the proper proportions for her new veneers.
