Combined, these principles influence the overall look of a person\u2019s smile.<\/p>\n<p>The four principles of smile design are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Facial Esthetics\u2014facial and muscular influences<\/li>\n<li>Gingival (Gum) Esthetics\u2014health and appearance of gums<\/li>\n<li>Microesthetics\u2014details of your teeth, such as color and shape<\/li>\n<li>Macroesthetics\u2014the relationship between your front \u201csmile\u201d teeth and rest of your face<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Components of a Beautiful Smile<\/h2>\n<p>What is a smile made of? Teeth, obviously, but the correct answer is a bit more complex. A dentist in Las Colinas considers several factor in order to determine what restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedures are necessary to correct or enhance your smile.<\/p>\n<p>First, there are your lips, which act like a picture frame for your smile. The shape, fullness and symmetry of your lips are important to your facial appearance. When you smile, think of an imaginary line running between the corners of your mouth. Your upper front teeth should fill between 75 and 100 percent of the space below this line to create a more youthful and attractive smile.<\/p>\n<p>There are some other imaginary lines that the dentist considers when planning your smile. The facial midline runs vertically between the front two upper teeth and continues between your eyebrows and the Cupid\u2019s bow in the center of your upper lip. Ideally, the midline of your smile will coincide with your facial midline.<\/p>\n<p>The smile line lies along the top of your lower lip. In a perfect smile line, the edges of your upper teeth are parallel to your lower lip when you smile.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Teeth and Your Smile<\/h2>\n<p>Needless to say, the appearance of your teeth is the most important quality of your smile. Their color and shape need to complement your face, complexion and even your eye and hair color. A cosmetic dentist will also consider the texture of your teeth and their angulation and occlusion (bite).<\/p>\n<p>Following these and other principles of smile design, you can count on a cosmetic dentist to create a smile that is beautiful to you and other\u2019s your meet. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.21stcenturydental.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Call\u00a0<\/a>to find out how your smile can be enhanced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here at 21st Century Dental of Irving &amp; Sleep Center, we want to help our patients enjoy attractive smiles.
