Smile Design Plano, TX

Dallas and Plano, Texas dentists Dr. Sara Chen’s and Dr. Mark Sowell’s approach to the design of your smile is extremely thorough. Your appointment begins with a comprehensive examination of the health, structure, function, and esthetics of your mouth. Your complete dental health exam includes testing for tooth decay, abscesses, gum disease, oral cancer, and oral lesions.

Structural concerns include broken, fractured teeth as well as propagating cracks. The function of your smile includes missing teeth and your bite, TMJ and jaw muscles. The aesthetic of your mouth is how your teeth and gums look when you smile.

What is Smile Design?

Smile Design is a dental service that uses both artistic and clinical techniques to enhance a patients’ smile. The process requires an in-depth analysis of a patient’s facial features and expression. Then, the dentist can tailor the smile restoration to the patient’s unique characteristics. Smile Design often incorporates a variety of procedures to achieve the desired result.

Smile Design is also called “hybrid dentistry” because it combines aspects of cosmetic dentistry with restorative dentistry. Most patients who undergo this procedure are looking for a more youthful appearance or a more natural-looking smile. We can also use it to address other dental concerns, such as bite issues or TMJ disorders.

Dr. Sowell and Dr. Chen can use Smile Design to solve many aesthetic problems, such as:

  • Tooth loss
  • Facial asymmetry
  • Infections
  • Mild discoloration

Smile design is the aesthetic component of your comprehensive cosmetic examination at our Plano dental office. The complimentary cosmetic dentistry consult includes an aesthetic exam and listening to your goals and oral care needs.

Next, we take digital photos and impressions of your mouth to get a good grasp of your current dental issues. Then, we will discover what you want to change about your teeth (e.g., color, size, arrangement, symmetry, etc.). Dr. Sowell and Dr. Chen will show you what our cosmetic dentistry treatments can do for you.

The goal of Smile Design is to provide our patients with a healthy and beautiful mouth that will stay healthy for years to come. We strive to do this by using modern technology along with our expertise in dentistry and cosmetic surgery. Continue reading to learn about our Smile Design process.

The Smile Design Process

First, we learn about your expectations and time frame. Then, we invite you back for a comprehensive examination. The exam will include:

  • A lip symmetry evaluation
  • Gum exposure and symmetry check
  • Measuring tooth size and proportions to the face
  • Evaluating tooth symmetry, arrangement, and color

Then, we prepare and print computer-generated “after” pictures to show you. We will design the new structure and function of your mouth. Dr. Sowell, Dr. Chen, and their Southlake County-area dental care team will gather complete information about your oral health. We will provide you with excellent and relevant options without trying to up-sell you unnecessary treatments.

Once Dr. Sowell and Dr. Chen have a complete picture of your oral health, they will move on to the next step. They will work with you to design a long-term dental care plan that will meet your needs, desires, and budget. Their training and experience in high-end cosmetic dentistry make them two of the best cosmetic dentists in Plano, TX.

Dr. Sowell, Dr. Chen, and their dental care team always listen to your questions and consider your comfort a high priority. Dr. Sowell and Dr. Chen are your dentists in Plano for cosmetic dental services in Dallas, Plano, Frisco, and surrounding Southlake County communities.
