Smile Design

Individualized Smile Design
Each person is unique and has a individual set of expectations and desires. Dr. Winchell constantly seeks to balance beauty and function always working to create a radiant natural smile. Many elements meet together to create the smile that says “you”–lip line, gum line, face shape, personal desires, characteristics of your anterior teeth, and your individual personality. Trained by some of the best experts in the field, Dr. Winchell and his team focus on your desires for your most confident radiant smile.

Co-diagnosis

At your first appointment, Dr. Winchell will spend unhurried time with you, examining your mouth and teeth, as well as talking to you about your wishes, needs, and concerns. Our patients appreciate how we spend time with them, getting to know them at a leisurely pace. It makes them feel pampered and special.
Bring with you examples of photos and we’ll have many here as well to guide our discussion of your dream smile. Sometimes, it’s even possible to preview an idea of what your new smile will look like in your own mouth.

Digital Radiography

To help you visualize the outcome of a procedure you are considering, we take digital photographs of your teeth and smile. We may use digital photographs to help us design together the smile you want.

Bridges

A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. A bridge fills the unsightly space left by missing teeth.

Crowns

Crowns are used when large fillings fail or would be too weak, when a tooth is cracked, or when making cosmetic improvements on teeth. They can blend beautifully so those looking at your smile will simply see a beautiful smile.

"Instant Orthodontics"

If your teeth are crooked, you don't want to spend a long time in braces to look good, “instant orthodontics” may be an option. When you come in for a consultation ask about “instant orthodontics" with porcelain veneers. If you are a candidate for this sort of treatment, the whole process will take a few visits rather than a few years, as is usually the case with braces.

Dental Implants

Dental implants have become a choice treatment option for many patients who are missing one or more teeth. A dental implant is a replacement tooth "root". Dental implants may be a good option instead of a bridge. Talk with Dr. Winchell about the possibilities.

Analyze Your Smile--What’s Your Wish List

An American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) Survey found:

· More than 92% of adults agree that an attractive smile is an important social asset.
· 82% say they always remember someone with an especially attractive smile.
· 85% agree that and unattractive smile makes a person less appealing to people of the opposite sex.
· 74% agree that an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances for career success.
· But, only half of Americans are satisfied with their smile.

Smiles can be analyzed in a number of ways. Two popular ways are the emotional analysis and the objective evaluation.

Emotional Analysis of Your Smile

An emotional analysis of your smile evaluates your inner feelings about your smile and how it affects your self image and your ability to relate to others and its impact on your relationships.


1. Do you love your smile when you look in the mirror?
2. Do others regularly comment on what a wonderful smile you have?
3. Do you ever avoid smiling broadly or put your hand in front of your mouth when you do smile?
4. Do you feel self conscious about your smile?
5. Do you find yourself wishing you could smile with confidence?
6. Have you felt you would have more confidence if your smile with a radiant smile?
7. Do you use your lips to cover part of your smile?

9. Do you do this with pictures?
10. Have you felt your social or business life would be more successful if you had a fabulous smile?
11. Did kids ever make fun of your smile?
12. Does your smile make you feel youthful?
13. What model or famous person flashes a smile you wish you had?
14. What do you think a radiant smile would do for your life?
