Gender-Specific Smile Make-Over

Subject #133: Female Patient
Procedure: Perhaps you’ve never considered the idea of a smile being masculine or feminine, but this patient’s "before" look is a perfect example of a smile that was simply too masculine for her personality. The teeth were squared off, wide at the biting edge, and projected slightly forward - appearing aggressive and excessively "gummy" when she smiled a big happy smile. Her re-designed smile is a beautiful example of feminizing the appearance through smile design. Newly rounded curves where the biting edges touch the adjacent teeth, (called embrasures), contouring to accomplish a gum lift, and a softened emergence profile, now project a gentle, feminine style. Accomplishing this makeover included the use of custom-blended porcelain crowns and veneers.
