Harmony in numbers
The golden ratio is a mathematical proportion discussed in art, architecture and smile design. In dentistry it can be a useful reference point for thinking about apparent tooth widths, but it is not a universal formula for an attractive smile and should not override individual anatomy or preference.
Tailored to you
Smile design is more useful when proportions are treated as references rather than rules. We consider tooth shape, lip position, gum contours, facial features, bite and the character of your natural teeth. The goal is a result that belongs to you rather than a mathematical template.
A commitment to excellence
- Proportion is one part of planning. Tooth health, enamel, gum position and the bite matter just as much as visual measurements.
- When restorative treatment is appropriate, materials and preparation are based on the individual tooth and how much healthy structure can be preserved.
- Photographs, digital scans and trial mockups make proposed changes easier to understand before treatment. We explain the tradeoffs and alternatives so your plan reflects your goals and sound dental principles.
Curious how tooth proportions relate to your own smile? Dr. Sharma can compare conservative options including whitening, bonding, orthodontics and porcelain veneers and explain which changes would actually make sense for you.
