Trust Your Smile to Tacoma Dental Specialist April Ziegele

To find your new smile, we page through your favorite magazines, look at celebrity photos and watch a DVD of previous smile design patients. It's quite an enjoyable process.

To make your new smile a reality, Auburn dentist, Dr. Ziegele considers:

• How many teeth show when you smile and if any are missing.
• How much of your gums show and their appropriate contours.
• Your facial midline at the top, middle and bottom of your face.
• Your skin tone, hair color and the white shade of your eyes.
• Your facial structure: round, oval or sharp and angled.
• Your gender, age and weight relative to the size of your teeth.

Once this analysis is complete, Dr. Ziegele takes a digital impression using Cadent's powerful 3D imaging software. She then creates a diagnostic wax-up, whitens your teeth and performs a TekScan to make sure your bite is calibrated. Then, treatment begins.

If you never wore braces or simply want a more youthful appearance, smile design is a great option. Dr. Ziegele's expert team can schedule you for a free smile consultation today.
