The most important step in improving a smile is the analysis of the current state of your situation in order to establish a visual projection of an improved smile either by modifying the position and/or the morphology of the teeth. and sometimes by modifying the architecture of your gums.

​

During the consultation, Dr. Méthot carries out an overall examination of your masticatory system, the condition of your gums, your teeth and the framework around the teeth as well as the function of your masticatory system. Facial photography and panoramic X-ray are the 2 essential elements for the analysis and design of your smile.

Why does the smile deteriorate over the years?

​

Throughout your life, your teeth have been repaired one by one, year after year. Indeed, over the years, during routine visits to the dentist were limited  often at  repair the areas that needed treatment, and these repairs were adapted to the teeth  surrounding worn and extracted.

So around forty the smile became uneven.  Moreover, as we age, the wear of the teeth increases with chewing and with nocturnal bruxism. When you are young the treatments of choice are orthodontic aligners and/or dental veneers and the intervention is minimal.  

​

When you are older the teeth are often worn, damaged, discolored and we must intervene on a greater number of teeth to restore a smile and adequate function.

Each case is different, this young baladi dancer from Morocco presented with premature wear of her teeth. Following the analysis of the case and the simulation adapted to the patient's face with the Dental GPS software, the patient's smile was redone with ceramic veneers during dental training in Morocco.
