Smile Design at Dentcof

More than a smile. A signature.
Smile design is where dentistry meets identity. At Dentcof, we don’t impose templates—we reveal character. Each case is guided by facial analysis, biometric libraries, and digital planning to design a smile that feels natural, looks timeless, and belongs to you.

1. Digital Planning and Visualization

Design before drilling. Identity before alteration.
We begin every case with detailed records: photos, 3D scans, and facial references. These are used to create a mock-up that shows you the potential outcome—on your face, in motion, and from every angle. You see what’s possible before any treatment begins.

2. Testing and Feedback

Previews with purpose. Decisions with clarity.
We validate the design in real life. In additive cases, we apply a mock-up directly to your teeth. In reductive cases, we use AI-generated simulations. Your feedback helps refine the shape, volume, and dynamics before moving forward.

3. Integration with Treatment Plan

More than design—it’s direction.
Smile design isn’t a standalone step. It sets the tone for the entire treatment—guiding veneers, crowns, orthodontics, or surgery. Every element, from tooth position to tissue contour, follows one aesthetic and functional vision.

I’mperfect in Philosophy

We don’t copy smiles. We complete them.
The I’mperfect philosophy means embracing the unique features that make a smile authentic. We use biometric forms—not trends—and adapt them to each face. The result is not a "perfect" smile, but one that feels right.

A Workflow That Fits You

Standardized process. Personalized outcome.
Each step is mapped, yet flexible. Our protocols combine predictability with adaptability—designed around your anatomy, goals, and timeline. The same rigor applies whether you're enhancing one tooth or transforming your entire smile.

Designed and Built In-House

From digital plan to ceramic restoration—under one roof.
Design and production are fully integrated at Dentcof. Our lab, Metalab, works hand in hand with the clinical team to craft restorations that match the original design—no loss in translation, no outsourcing.

Long-Term Thinking

Design that doesn’t expire.
Smile design helps us anticipate aging, wear, and functional demands. By planning with foresight, we preserve more structure, reduce future interventions, and ensure that the smile continues to feel natural—even years later.

Smile Design – Frequently Asked Questions

Is smile design just for veneers?
No. While it’s often used for veneer cases, smile design guides many treatments, including crowns, orthodontics, gum surgery, and implants. It’s about planning, not just appearance.

How long does the smile design process take?
The design phase usually takes days, depending on complexity. We take the time to gather records, create the plan, and validate it with you before any treatment starts.

Will I see a preview of my smile before treatment?
Yes. We provide visual previews—mock-ups for additive cases or digital simulations for reductive ones—so you can understand and approve the direction before committing.

Can I choose the shape and color?
Yes—but with guidance. We combine your preferences with biometric data and facial cues to propose shapes and shades that feel natural and coherent with your features.

How do I know the design will last?
Smile design is part of our long-term thinking. By integrating function and structure from the start, we create outcomes that age well and reduce the need for future corrections.
