Smile Design is a primary service Dr. Maniscalco offers. Smile Design is a highly technical process requiring great skill and experience to achieve a natural result. This procedure is not taught at all or only touched upon in dental school - dentists must learn the techniques in post-graduate courses and then perfect the art through extensive experience. For whatever reasons, many dentists choose to not focus on this discipline.
It takes artistic ability and extensive knowledge to perform an impeccable Smile Design. Techniques require precise measurements based upon mouth shape, gum lines, lips, and natural shape of the teeth. Dr. Maniscalco devotes time to precisely planning a Smile Design before beginning the actual procedure.
During a patient's initial consultation, Dr. Maniscalco downloads a digital photograph into an imaging program to show the client what their new smile can look like. Smile Design treatments may require as few as two appointments depending on the complexity of the case.
Some complete mouth reconstruction cases may require months to complete, however, a few months is a short time when a beautiful smile can last a lifetime. Our priority is achieving the health, function and beauty of a great smile.
