A confident smile starts with a plan. Smile design combines digital planning with cosmetic expertise to help you understand what is possible before treatment begins. Using detailed imaging and facial analysis, we create a personalized roadmap for improving the balance and harmony of your smile.

Planning, not guesswork.

Smile design is not a single procedure — it is a planning process that looks at how your teeth, gums, and facial features work together. Rather than guessing at outcomes, we use digital tools to evaluate proportions, spacing, alignment, and colour so your final result looks natural and intentional.

Our role is to guide you through it, explain your options clearly, and help you make informed decisions that fit your goals and comfort level.

When it makes sense

When smile design helps.

Smile design is often the first step for patients who feel something is off but are not sure where to start. By visualising improvements ahead of time, you can move forward knowing what changes are being considered, and why. It can help address concerns such as:

Uneven teeth

Teeth that sit slightly out of line with one another.

Spacing issues

Gaps or crowding that affect overall balance.

Worn edges

Edges that have flattened or chipped over time.

Discolouration

Staining or uneven colour across the smile.

Unbalanced appearance

A smile that feels "off" without an obvious cause.

What to expect

The planning process.

01

Consultation & assessment

We review your oral health, discuss your goals, and evaluate how your teeth and facial features work together.

02

Digital imaging

High-resolution photos and digital scans assess alignment, proportions, and overall smile balance.

03

Smile preview

We create a digital preview so you can visualise potential improvements before any treatment begins.

04

Treatment planning

If treatment is recommended, we walk you through your options clearly so you can choose what feels right.

Why planning matters

More than just appearance.

A well-planned smile design supports comfort, function, and long-term results — not just looks. Patients appreciate:

  • A clearer understanding of cosmetic options before treatment
  • Improved balance and symmetry in the smile
  • Better function when alignment or wear is addressed
  • A personalized plan tailored to your facial features and goals

A coordinated approach

We take a collaborative, patient-first approach to cosmetic planning. While not every procedure is completed in-house, we coordinate care carefully and work with trusted cosmetic specialists when needed — with a focus on transparency and results that feel natural rather than overdone.

Why Creekside

Clear options, before you commit.

You will always understand your options, expected results, and next steps before moving forward. Dr. Brian Hu and the team take the time to walk through what is possible and why, so the plan fits your goals and your comfort level.

Frequently asked

Your smile design questions, answered.

Is smile design painful?

Smile design itself is a planning process and does not involve treatment. Any procedures discussed are reviewed individually, so you know what to expect in terms of comfort before anything begins.

What treatments can be included in a smile design plan?

A plan may involve whitening, veneers, crowns, or other cosmetic services, depending on your needs and goals.

How does digital smile design help?

Digital planning lets you preview potential changes and understand how different treatments may affect your smile before committing to anything.

How do I maintain my results after smile design?

Practice good oral hygiene, attend regular check-ups, and follow any specific care instructions from your dentist. Avoiding tobacco and limiting staining foods and drinks also helps protect your results.

Is smile design right for everyone?

Smile design works best for patients considering cosmetic improvements who want a structured, visual planning process before deciding on treatment.
