Designing Your Smile: Smile Evaluation

A beautiful smile is a very personal experience. Dr. Sowell will take you through each step in helping you find the look you like. A starting point is to find the smile of a model or celebrity you admire and bring it in. From there the size, length, color, symmetry, shape of the teeth and gum will be selected. Your lip line, jaw angle, eye position and profile will the evaluated. Dr. Sowell will take photographs, radiographs and impressions once you are ready to move forward.

After your smile design evaluation is complete, Dr. Sowell will design your smile with his in-house laboratory ceramist on your models and have you back for a trial smile or mock-up. Here you will see your new smile in your own mouth through a temporary tooth material. From there we will have worked out the shape of your temporaries, so we can get ready to shape your teeth from the temporary look to the final result. If there are any changes needed, Dr. Sowell and his ceramist will custom make these changes and the final result will be exactly what you wanted. Dr. Sowell’s philosophy is to give you the most conservative dental techniques available in order to create your perfect smile.

Take the Smile Test
Look in the mirror or look at a picture of yourself. Then rate your smile from 1-10 on each of the categories below with 10 being “love it” and 1 being “hate it”.

  • Appearance of your gum tissue (shows too much, irregular and uneven?)
  • Smile Line – Do the edge of your upper teeth follow the shape of your lower lip?
  • Grade the whiteness of your smile.
  • The shape of your teeth – (short & square or long and thin)
  • Length of your teeth – do you show too much or too little of your teeth?
  • Rotations or blank spaces between your teeth.
  • Alignment (symmetry) of your smile – does the lift side look like the right?

If you score 56-63 you are satisfied with your smile.
If you score below 50 you should consider a smile evaluation with Dr. Sowell because you are unhappy with your smile.
