Smile design is the process of planning and creating a new or improved smile. It typically involves the use of cosmetic dental treatments such as veneers, crowns, and braces, as well as other procedures like tooth whitening and gum reshaping.

The process usually starts with a consultation with a dental professional, during which the patient discusses their goals and concerns, and the dental professional assesses the patient's oral health and overall smile appearance. The dental professional will then create a treatment plan and discuss the options with the patient.

Smile design can be used to address a variety of concerns, including misaligned teeth, gaps between teeth, uneven tooth size or shape, and discoloration. The ultimate goal of smile design is to create a more aesthetically pleasing and functional smile that is unique to the patient.
