Whether it’s fair or not, it is true; as we age, our bodies begin to break down. Your teeth are no exception. Over time, your Westminster smile changes. These changes start taking their toll on your face and ultimately, your looks.
Your teeth are your mouth’s the structural support, and they have a large impact on the lower part of your face. Wear and tear on your teeth is one of the most visible signs of aging. When your lower face loses its structural support, it begins to look “squashed” because the space between your upper and lower jaw is smaller and your chin moves closer to your nose.
Luckily you can say “NO” to the signs of aging with cosmetic dentistry. A Smile Rejuvenation can stop the wear and tear on your smile and repair and rejuvenate your smile. While it restores your face’s natural beauty, a Smile Rejuvenation can also improve your health.

The more proportionate your teeth, mouth, lips and your smile – the more beautiful they are considered. If you want to improve the symmetry, Dr. Imm can help you with cosmetic and restorative dentistry.

This is not a sentence you want to hear, especially when it’s about you. When you’re considering cosmetic dentistry, you want to be assured that the end result looks natural, organic. You want to look like you – only better! A stunning smile can be what sets you apart from others. It radiates confidence and openness, but it can never look faked or phony.
All of us respond to beauty. We’re attracted to it. Even a baby recognizes beauty when he or she sees it. There are four basic elements to beauty:
How much time does it take to look at a face and rate its beauty? 150 milliseconds. That’s it! The next time you see someone you consider beautiful, try to measure these four elements in their face. Even if you spent all day looking at the same face, in the end you would give it the same rating.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a beautiful smile is priceless. When Westminster dentist Dr. Gary Imm designs the most aesthetically pleasing and optimally functional smile, he follows the nine main Principles of Smile Design taking into account your unique facial features. For example, he can use characteristics such as tooth shape to compliment or enhance the shape of your face.
Midline
Symmetry is the defining feature of a beautiful smile. By ensuring symmetry of the two front teeth as well as neighbouring teeth, the appearance of symmetry will affect the entire smile.
Horizontal Alignment
Smile lines that are parallel to the horizontal axis of your face are widely considered most attractive.
Smile Line
One of the most important characteristics of a great smile, a smile line is created by drawing an imaginary line from the biting edges of the back teeth around to the front teeth. A curved smile line makes you appear significantly younger.
Gum Line
The most aesthetic smiles have symmetrical gum lines that follow the upper lip.
Smile Width
In the ideal smile, the teeth towards the back of the mouth can be seen in progression. If the smile is narrow, the back teeth are often in shadow causing the sides of the smile to appear dark.
Embrasures
Embrasures are the natural, slight triangular spaces between the tips of your teeth. The most natural, youthful looking smile has small embrasure spaces at the front which gradually get larger towards the back teeth.
Tooth Proportion
When creating the ideal smile, the size of each tooth is governed by an ideal proportion. Usually, for example, the ideal width to height ratio of the two front teeth is 0.7:1.
Tooth Shade
It is possible to change the shade of your teeth while designing your new smile. Dr. Imm has a variety of colour and translucency options to choose from in order to give you a smile so natural, it looks like one you were born with it.
In today’s society, we have been programmed to respond to specific definitions of beauty. Fashion, hairstyles and makeup all highlight what we find beautiful, but it is different from true beauty itself. True beauty is art. It doesn’t need fashion – it can be found in what we already have. It’s in our eyes, skin, hair, lips and teeth. These are the windows. To find your true beauty, focus on these because everything else is just window dressing.
