Smile Analysis

Your smile affects your self-image, and can greatly influence the quality of your interactions with others.  Many people hold back from laughing or smiling because they are uncomfortable with their smile.  The following questions are designed to honestly appraise your smile.  Go to a mirror, smile as wide as you can, and ask yourself the following questions:

Do you have any gaps or spaces between your teeth?

Are any of your teeth turned, crooked, or uneven?

Are you missing any teeth?

Do you see any pitting or defects on the surfaces of your teeth?

Are the edges of any teeth worn down, chipped or uneven?

Do any of your teeth appear too small, short, large or long?

Do you have a "gummy" smile (too much of your gums show when smiling)?

Are your gums red, sore, puffy, bleeding or receded?

Does the appearance of your smile inhibit you from laughing or smiling?

When being photographed, do you smile with your lips closed instead of flashing a full smile?

Are you self-conscious about your teeth or smile?

Would you like to change anything about the appearance of your teeth or smile?

Do you have difficulty chewing or eating?

Do your jaws hurt after chewing gum?

Do you hear clicking or popping noises in your jaws when eating?

Do you have missing or extra teeth?

If you answered YES to ANY of these questions, there are often several alternatives to improve your teeth and smile. To receive a personalized response to your smile analysis, please complete the following form.
