Smile Please: Good day; My opinion of a healthy simile is determined by the health of the dentition. As long as there is periodontal health the smile is adequate. The anterior teeth could be crooked, dark, some what unaesthetic but healthy. I will explain how a consumer my improve their smile, bleaching, bonding, lamination and even orthodontics; however, the decision rests with the patient.

Healthy smile: A healthy smile is one in which the teeth, supporting gum/bone tissues, and facial drape, are free from infection or damage, are stable, functional, and esthetic. If your smile does not meet these criteria please see a competent General Dentist for treatment and/or referral to the appropriate dental specialists. Seek quality care. Beware of bargains.
