Factors evaluated in a smile design
It’s very common for people to have imperfections in their teeth that can cause insecurity and affect self-esteem.
When someone decides to improve their smile, they may be unsure which dental treatments they’ll need. That’s why it’s essential to first understand the elements that make up a harmonious smile.
What makes a smile esthetic?
Alignment and symmetry of the teeth
Many people have “crooked” or misaligned teeth due to factors such as genetics, trauma, or habits like thumb-sucking or lip-biting. Even if the teeth are healthy and clean, being out of position makes them less pleasing to the eye. For this reason, proper alignment and symmetry are the first considerations in a smile design in Monterrey.The go-to treatment to correct alignment is orthodontics.
Tooth proportions and smile width
Some people have teeth that are too large or too small. To bring greater harmony to tooth size, veneers are used to correct defects in color, height, and shape.
Lip shape, color and thickness
These also influence smile esthetics. Full, pink, well-defined lips are characteristic of a healthy, youthful smile.
Spacing between teeth
In adults, spacing often relates to the progression of periodontal disease and is one of its most visible signs. Beyond the esthetic issue, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and increases the likelihood of systemic diseases such as diabetes and stroke. In our smile design practice in Monterrey, we offer the best treatments to control periodontal disease and correct smile esthetics.
Gingival margin and gum health
The gingival margin is the border of the gum that contacts the tooth. Any irregularity in its alignment and contour can diminish harmony even when teeth look nice.
Periodontal disease can alter the margin and deteriorate gingival health.
Another common issue is gingival recession, a process in which the gums retract and expose the tooth root which is not only unesthetic but can cause sensitivity and increase the risk of root caries.
At Smile Design Monterrey, we specialize in periodontal treatments and periodontal plastic surgery, including esthetic gingival recontouring and gum grafting.
Tooth color
This is one of the main features that makes teeth look attractive. Yellow teeth suggest poor hygiene and are not appealing. Fortunately, this can be improved with teeth whitening.
To determine the best smile design for a particular person, it’s important to analyze facial morphology and perform an initial evaluation. It’s crucial to emphasize that teeth also fulfill key chewing and occlusal functions. For this reason, Smile Design Monterrey seeks not only cosmetic improvement but also functionality to enhance the bite.

How long does the smile design process take?
Because there is a wide range of dental treatments, it’s difficult to set a specific timeframe for a smile design in Monterrey. Likewise, a single price cannot be fixed, as it depends on each patient and their particular oral-health situation.
