dont like the smile you were born with

There are many reasons why people aren’t 100% satisfied with the smiles they were born with. Cosmetic issues such as crooked, misshapen or congenitally deformed teeth can cause people to feel embarrassed about their smiles.

These same problems can also cause oral health problems if they make teeth harder to clean or if they impact the alignment of your bite.

While dental treatment can’t alter the fundamentals of your appearance, you may be surprised to just how many things a dentist can change about your teeth these days.

What makes a beautiful smile?

While people have been pondering the philosophy and science behind what makes something beautiful for millennia, there are a few rules Dr Saby follows when it comes to improving the appearance of your smile.

Balance: An attractive smile is a balance between pink, white and black. When most people think about their smiles, they focus on their teeth, however, it is just as important to have healthy, properly proportioned gums.

Symmetry: An attractive smile is a collection of things that fall in the normal range. If too many things fall outside of the average or if a few factors are way out, then a smile will appear less attractive.

An appropriate shade of white: While most people would agree that a white smile is the most attractive, it is possible to have a very attractive smile that is not overly white. In fact, teeth that are too white may appear false.
