Smile Proportions: How Our Arcadia Dentist Designs Your Custom Veneers

A beautiful smile is more than just straight teeth, it's about proportion, balance, and harmony with your facial features. At Imprint Family Dentistry, Dr. Samuel Lee approaches custom veneers with a focus on individuality.

Dr. Lee blends his clinical expertise with an artistic eye to design smiles that look natural and feel uniquely personal, too. Whether you're addressing chips, gaps, discoloration, or misalignment, veneers offer a transformative solution that's carefully tailored to you.

What Are Smile Proportions and Why Do They Matter?

Smile proportions refer to the way your teeth align and fit within your facial structure, and they play a major role in how natural and attractive your smile appears. Dr. Lee doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all veneers. 

Instead, he evaluates your entire facial composition to create a smile that complements your features and personality. This degree of personalization helps each veneer blend in perfectly with your smile, ensuring lasting confidence and comfort. Several elements contribute to smile proportions, including:

• Tooth Length: Ideal tooth length varies by age, gender, and individual preference. Dr. Lee examines how much of your teeth show when you’re smiling and at rest.
• Gum-to-Tooth Ratio: Your gumline is just as important as your teeth. A balanced gum-to-tooth ratio helps create aesthetically pleasing results without looking overdone.
• Tooth Symmetry: While perfect symmetry isn't always necessary, even subtle changes can improve overall harmony between your teeth and face.
• Facial Structure: Your jawline, cheekbones, and lips all shape how your smile looks, so, Dr. Lee ensures veneer designs work seamlessly with your natural facial structure.

How Dr. Lee Customizes Your Veneers for Flawless Results

Designing custom veneers at Imprint Family Dentistry means every step is done with intention and precision. Dr. Lee is known for his compassionate, informative approach, walking patients through each stage of the veneer process while listening closely to aesthetic goals and concerns. 

With his deep community roots in Arcadia, Dr. Lee treats each patient like family, always prioritizing comfort and clarity of communication. Here’s how the custom veneer process works with our team:

• Personalized Consultation: You’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and preferences in a relaxed, judgment-free setting.
• Digital Smile Design: Dr. Lee uses advanced imaging tools to preview how your new smile will look, refining designs in real time with your input.
• Trial Phase: Temporary veneers may be used to ensure you're happy with the look and feel before final placement.
• Final Veneer Placement: Once designs are finalized, your custom veneers are bonded with precision, resulting in a radiant and durable smile you’ll love for years.

Modern Materials That Mimic Natural Teeth

Not all veneers are created equal. At our dental office, Dr. Lee works with top-quality materials that closely resemble the translucent, reflective properties of natural enamel. Whether it’s handcrafted porcelain or advanced composite resin, the result is a smile that doesn’t just look beautiful, it feels authentic. These modern materials offer several advantages:

• Durability: Porcelain veneers are strong and stain-resistant, often lasting 10-15 years or longer with proper care.
• Natural Aesthetics: Careful color-matching creates seamless integration with your existing teeth.
• Conservative Approach: Minimal preparation techniques preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
• Comfort: Designed to fit precisely, veneers provide comfort from day one, without irritating surrounding gum tissue.

The Importance of Comfort and Communication During Your Smile Transformation

Getting veneers is a personal journey, and for many, it may feel overwhelming at first. That’s why Dr. Lee emphasizes transparency, comfort, and a gentle bedside manner throughout the entire process. 

As a trusted family dentist serving, he always takes time to answer questions, alleviate anxieties, and ensure each patient feels cared for at every step. Our patient-focused approach includes:

• Thorough Education: You'll understand your options so you can make informed choices with confidence.
• Open Dialogue: We encourage continuous communication, so adjustments are made based on your feedback and comfort.
• Patient-Centered Environment: From flexible scheduling to cozy treatment rooms, our practice is designed to put you at ease from the moment you arrive.
