Smile Designing
Smile designing is a planning approach that considers tooth shape, proportion, colour and alignment along with gum health. It may combine several treatments, and any plan starts with a clinical evaluation of the health of your teeth and gums.
Smile Designing is carried out by Dr. Gajulavarthi Joel Sandeep, MDS, Implantologist & Periodontologist, at our Guntur clinic and Narasaraopet clinic.

Maintenance guidance
What smile designing means
- A planned combination of treatments — rather than a single procedure — aimed at the appearance of the smile.
- Planning considers tooth shape, size, colour and alignment, the gum outline, the lip line and your facial proportions.
- Health comes first: decay, gum disease and bite problems are treated before cosmetic work begins.
- The plan is discussed and agreed with you, including what is realistic in your case.
Procedures that may form part of a plan
- Professional cleaning and teeth whitening.
- Composite bonding or veneers to reshape front teeth.
- Crowns where a tooth needs both strength and appearance restored.
- Orthodontic treatment with braces or aligners where alignment is the main issue.
- Gum contouring where the gum outline dominates the smile.
- Replacement of missing teeth with implants or bridges.
Frequently asked questions
Is health assessed before cosmetic work?
Yes. Decay, gum disease and bite issues are addressed before or alongside cosmetic treatment.
Can results be predicted exactly?
Outcomes vary between patients. Planning aims to set realistic, clearly discussed expectations.
Is smile designing only cosmetic?
Not entirely. Many of the treatments involved also restore function — chewing, bite balance and cleanability — alongside appearance.
How is the plan decided?
After an examination, photographs and, where needed, radiographs, the options are explained with their trade-offs so you can choose what fits your priorities.
Who should consult a dentist: Consult a dentist if you would like to discuss the appearance of your smile.
Treatment recommendations vary from patient to patient. A consultation with a qualified dental professional is required to determine the appropriate treatment.
