Before: the situation
In the before photo the upper front teeth are already light in colour, but they look short and square, their edges sit at different heights, and some of the side teeth overlap their neighbours. Small yellow marks show at the gum edges between several upper teeth. The lower teeth visible behind them are a darker, more yellow shade than the upper teeth, and one lower tooth has a white patch on its surface.
What was wrong, and why it matters
A smile can be light in colour and still look unfinished. Short, square front teeth make the smile look flat, edges at different heights break the line along the lower lip, and when the upper and lower teeth are different shades the contrast shows every time the mouth opens.
Yellow marks where a tooth or restoration meets the gum usually mean stain or plaque collecting at the margin. In a full smile rehabilitation the length of the teeth, the edge line, the shade of both arches and the way the teeth meet are planned as one, rather than each tooth being corrected on its own.
The solution
Parshang's full smile rehabilitation was carried out by Dr. Khalid Saeed, co-founder and dentist at Creative Arts. The after photo shows the upper front teeth longer and better proportioned, with edges that step down evenly towards the centre and follow the lower lip. The upper and lower teeth share one bright white shade, and the yellow marks at the gum edges are no longer visible.
How a case like this is planned at Creative Arts
Examination of the teeth, gums and bite on both arches, with smile photographs
Digital smile design to set tooth length, proportions and one shade for the upper and lower teeth
A mock-up over the patient's own teeth to preview and adjust the proposed smile
A written, itemised plan with the treatment and its cost, given after examination
Restorations made at Creative Art Dental Lab, in the same building, from the approved design
Fit, bite and shade checked at the fitting appointment
After: the result
Parshang's smile now has longer, balanced front teeth, an even edge line and one shade across both arches. A short video of her finished smile and a feedback video from Parshang are published with this case.

Questions about this kind of case
If my teeth are already white, can their length and shape still be improved?
Yes. Colour is only one part of a smile. Tooth length, the proportion between width and length, and the line the edges make against the lower lip often matter more to how natural a smile looks. At Creative Arts in Dubai these are planned with digital smile design and tried as a mock-up, so you can see the longer or reshaped teeth before deciding.
Why can short, square front teeth make a smile look older?
With age the biting edges of the front teeth wear down and the upper lip tends to cover more of them, so short, flat-edged teeth are read as an older smile. Longer central teeth with softly rounded corners and an edge line that follows the lower lip tend to look younger. How much length can be added depends on the bite, which is why at Creative Arts in Dubai the new length is checked on a mock-up and against the bite before the final work is made.
