Smile Design
Coordinate tooth form, shade, smile line and facial proportions before finalising the plan.
Treatment names describe the range of options; the final indication is only confirmed after clinical assessment and diagnosis.
FROM TREATMENT NAME TO INDICATION
Start with the condition, not the technique name.
Coordinate tooth form, shade, smile line and facial proportions before finalising the plan.
DIAGNOSIS BEFORE INDICATION
What does a clinician assess before deciding?
Records are chosen to answer the clinical questions of the individual case; not every patient requires the same imaging, scan or procedure.
Gums, smile line and aesthetic zone
Bite and functional habits
Shade, proportion and morphology
Preparation required for each tooth
METHOD & DECISION LOGIC
A sound plan is made by how decisions are reached.
These are clinical decision branches, not a menu for self-prescribing treatment.
Design is planning
Smile design is not a treatment by itself.
Face + smile
Your facial midline, lips, gums and tooth proportions are analysed together.
Mock-up
A digital or physical trial helps you and your dentist agree on the design before anything is irreversible.
Clinical validation
The dentist decides which parts of the aesthetic design are biologically feasible.
CLINICAL DECISION STANDARDS
Evidence before technology. Responsibility before speed.
Four principles help keep the plan consistent from diagnosis through maintenance.
Health before aesthetics
Decay, gum disease and unstable bite are addressed before definitive cosmetics.
Conservative when possible
Veneers, crowns, orthodontics, whitening and no treatment should be compared.
Face + teeth + gums
Tooth form and shade are designed in facial and gingival context.
Trial before final
Mock-ups/provisionals can reduce uncertainty before definitive ceramics.
CLINICIANS & CREDENTIALS
Smile-design expert + treating dentist

RECORDS & TECHNOLOGY
Technology supports the decision — it does not replace the clinician.
Technology is explained by its clinical value rather than by machine names alone.
Clinical photography
Records face, smile, tooth texture and shade.
Intraoral scan
Supports digital design and laboratory records.
Smile design / wax-up
Previews proportions and communicates intended changes.
Laboratory communication
Photos and shade maps connect clinical design to ceramic fabrication.
CLINICAL CASE FRAMEWORKS
The same service can require a very different plan.
These case frameworks illustrate decision logic and are not presented as real patient records unless verified.
Minor refinement
A patient with healthy teeth and gums may need only shade correction and minor reshaping.
Full smile makeover
Uneven gums, worn teeth or bite issues may call for a broader, multi-stage plan.
Revising previous work
Correcting older veneers or crowns often needs extra diagnostic steps before a new design is confirmed.
LONG-TERM PLAN
Treatment does not end on the day it is finished.
- Maintain hygiene and risk-based reviews
- Monitor bite, tissues and restorations/appliances according to treatment type
- Keep records for long-term comparison
- Seek review early when new symptoms or changes appear

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the technique before an assessment?
You can research options, but a clinician needs to diagnose the condition before confirming a suitable and safe plan.
Can I have a pre-travel consultation?
Yes. Photos and records can support preliminary discussion; final indication still requires in-person assessment.
Is the treatment timeline fixed?
No. Timing depends on complexity, biological response and the stages required.
How is cost determined?
Cost should be estimated after understanding treatment scope, materials, number of stages and any specialist coordination.
Who makes the final clinical decision?
The treating clinician is responsible for diagnosis and indication; aesthetic experts and technology support rather than replace clinical responsibility.
What can change the plan?
Diagnostic records, tissue condition, bite, prognosis, biological response and medical factors.
What should I ask about risk?
Ask about case-specific risks, limitations, alternatives, warning signs and maintenance.
Do the scientific sources mean Win Smile is certified by those organisations?
No. They are scientific reference sources; individual credentials are listed only when published by Win Smile.
