Shade, Shape, Style, Sensations: A smile’s main characteristics

These critical characteristics help you understand your smile’s needs and helps you compare and choose exactly the smile characteristics that are important to you.

Shade - We make sure that your smile suits your hair color, skin tone and the particular hues of your eyes.

Shape - Every smile we design is based on the principles of the “Golden Proportion” so your smile compliments your bone structure and body type.

Style  - We believe that if your smile doesn’t feel comfortable and natural, it can’t possibly look good.

Sensation - The way your smile functions, feels and smells is an indication of your overall oral health.

Which of these characteristics should you focus on?

While you may have certain preferences when it comes to your smile, be sure to consider all of these factors before deciding on your choice of cosmetic dentistry. In the end, if you want a whiter smile, you may prefer whitening. If precision all around is most important, you may want to consider porcelain veneers.

Since fitness is critical for a smile's maximum beauty and impact, your smile should be designed specifically for you by a dental professional. Unless your cosmetic dentist takes into consideration your shade, the shape of your face, and the health of your mouth, your smile will not feel or look natural.

We think that the more educated you are, the healthier and perfected your smile can be. It’s your smile after all!

When you are choosing your smile, here are some other factors to consider:

• Cosmetic vs. General Dentistry
• Deciding Whom to Trust with Your Dental Health
• Smile Shades
• Expressing the smile of your dreams

What's the difference between general and cosmetic dentistry?

Many general dentists claim to be a cosmetic dentist.  But, if you want a more fabulous, cosmetically-designed smile, like the smiles by Dr. Weiser, you’ll have to look for a more select group of dentists.  Only a rare group in the United States is  qualified and expertly trained to be cosmetic dentists.  For a dentist to carry the Cosmetic Dentist title, he or she should have completed extensive classes that meet the high standards for quality, service and satisfaction. Unfortunately, not all of them do.  If you really care about the results – if you want a spectacularly comfortable and beautiful smile – you’ll choose an expert like Dr. Mark Weiser.  You’ll easily see a difference and the results will speak for themselves.

What is Smile Restoration?  It’s full mouth tooth restorations in which the benefit include rebuilding worn down teeth, improving the appearance of the lips and creating bigger, broader smiles.

The best candidate for a smile restoration include people who are dissatisfied with their teeth, are self-conscious about smiling, people with a mosaic of dental work or materials in their mouth showing their age, people who barely show any teeth when they smile people with crowded or crooked teeth and people with spaces between their teeth people who have tried unsuccessfully to bleach their teeth.
