Whether from advertising posters or on social media, perfect smiles shine at us everywhere today. However, not everyone is naturally blessed with flawless teeth. Whether it's due to external influences, accidents, or genetically determined misalignments, gaps, or discolorations can directly affect one's self-confidence. That's why aesthetics, alongside dental health, plays a central role in our well-being, because our smile is like a personal business card. Even minor imperfections can affect self-confidence, but when dental damage, discolorations, or misalignments are corrected, this leads to a noticeable improvement in the quality of life. So, radiate back, thanks to your aesthetics expert in 1090 Vienna.

Aesthetics is a special area of dentistry that primarily focuses on the visual optimization of teeth and the overall smile. The goal is to harmonize tooth color, shape, position, and the interaction of teeth, gums, and face. The result is ideally more than the sum of its individual parts because the aim of aesthetics is always a holistic appealing overall impression of your smile. This is to be achieved with the corrective methods and treatments of aesthetics without, however, impairing the functionality of the teeth.

Discolorations on the teeth can arise from food, smoking, or natural aging processes. For a new or old shiny smile, professional teeth whitening (bleaching) is recommended. Your teeth can be lightened to the desired shades and restored to their original whiteness.

For patients who are dissatisfied with the overall impression of their smile, the so-called smile design is a comprehensive approach. Based on digital analyses, a harmonious smile is planned. Measures such as bleaching, veneers, inlays and onlays, gum corrections, and orthodontic treatments are individually combined. Dental defects such as broken, cracked, or worn teeth can also be aesthetically corrected. For minor damages, composite fillings are used, while larger corrections are realized through veneers or crowns. The required measures can vary widely from case to case. In the end, it is important that everything fits into a perfect and tailor-made overall result, allowing you to smile back in relaxation.

If teeth are unevenly sized, have gaps, or are too short, harmonizing tooth shape and size ensures a harmonious appearance. Veneers are primarily used to ensure a uniform shape and length of the teeth. Smaller adjustments can be made with tooth reshaping. Dental misalignments, such as crooked or crowded teeth, can be treated with orthodontic measures like aligners, invisible correction splints, or braces. Missing teeth due to dental caries, trauma, or periodontitis can be replaced by aesthetic dental implants, bridges, or dentures. Additionally, old, unsightly amalgam or composite fillings can be replaced with tooth-colored composite solutions or ceramic inlays to achieve a harmonious overall impression.

In dental terminology, a gummy smile means too much visible gum or an uneven gum line. This can be corrected through various methods. Gum contouring, for example, can be done with minor interventions using lasers. Gum recession can be addressed by periodontal methods, such as professional teeth cleaning and tissue grafts, with the goal always being a harmonious overall appearance between the gums and teeth for your best smile.
