Cosmetic Dentistry and Digital Smile Design
Cosmetic dentistry is about much more than changing the colour or shape of your teeth. We consider your facial features, lips, gum line and how your teeth work together to create a personalised smile plan. At Dental Residence, we balance your aesthetic goals with your oral health and natural tooth structure, exploring treatments that bring out what makes your smile unique.
How Does It Work?
We first assess your tooth shade and oral health. If whitening is suitable, we use a dentist-supervised approach. Results vary depending on your teeth and the cause of staining.

Tooth Colour and Whitening
Tooth colour plays an important part in the appearance of your smile. Staining over time, your natural tooth shade and differences in colour between teeth can all affect how your smile looks. For suitable patients, professional teeth whitening can lighten the existing shade for a brighter, natural-looking smile.

Gum Contouring
Gum contouring focuses on the shape, level and balance of your gums in relation to your teeth. Uneven gum levels or a smile that shows a lot of gum can affect your smile’s overall appearance. A personalised treatment plan aims to create natural-looking harmony between the teeth and gums.
How Does It Work?
We assess gum health, tooth proportions and how much gum is visible when you smile. Where appropriate, treatment may involve gum reshaping or clinical crown lengthening. The best approach depends on the condition of your gums and supporting bone.

Teeth Alignment and Smile Symmetry
Smile symmetry and alignment are about the position, size and balance of your teeth. Crowding, gaps and differences in alignment can affect how your smile looks. A personalised plan aims to create a balanced, natural-looking smile that complements your face and lips.
How Does It Work?
We begin by assessing tooth alignment, your bite and how your teeth relate to your face. Photographs, dental scans or impressions and digital records help us create a personalised plan. If needed, orthodontics or other cosmetic treatments may be recommended to achieve a more balanced smile.

The Role of Crowns and Veneers in Smile Design
Crowns, veneers and other cosmetic restorations can improve the colour, shape, size and appearance of teeth as part of a smile makeover. Depending on your teeth and treatment goals, we may consider porcelain veneers, zirconia crowns or E.max restorations. Our aim is to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while creating a natural-looking smile that suits your face and works comfortably.
