## What does smile design mean?

Smile design is a discussion of your appearance goals and a plan for any appropriate procedures. It is not one fixed treatment or a reason to treat every tooth.

## Define your priorities

Discuss the details you would like to change: colour, shape or the appearance of individual teeth. Explain what you prefer to keep as well as what concerns you.

## Assess the available options

Ask for the rationale and alternatives for each proposed procedure. A design discussion should include oral health, preservation of natural teeth and practical care needs.

## Review the proposed plan

Agree how the design will be explained before treatment. Confirm the teeth involved and any irreversible changes; a visual proposal is not a guarantee of the final result.

## Maintenance and appointments

The plan should explain the care and review needs of each procedure, not just the appearance goals. Request a staged schedule and itemised costs.

## Questions for your clinician

Discuss your priorities, the condition of your teeth, alternatives and the scope of each proposed procedure. Ask for a staged plan instead of assuming every tooth needs treatment.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I choose this topic before knowing what treatment I need?

Yes. Choose the topic to start a conversation. Your clinician will assess the options before a treatment decision.

### Does smile design mean veneers on every tooth?

No. Ask for the purpose and alternatives of each proposed procedure rather than assuming a standard package.

### Is a visual design a guaranteed result?

No. Discuss how the proposal relates to the clinical plan and what limitations or changes may arise.
