Esthetic Dentistry Principles – Balanced, Beautiful Smiles in Glen Iris

Posted on 10.14.25

Esthetic dentistry is about achieving a balanced, attractive, and healthy smile that boosts confidence and often improves oral health beyond just cosmetic benefits. While cosmetic dentistry is only aimed at creating visually appealing teeth, with disregard to the comfort and function.

To create a pleasing smile, there are six key principles Dr. Kaufman will assess and enhance

  1. Smile Arc: The upper front teeth (maxillary incisors) should follow the curve of the lower lip when smiling, creating a pleasing and natural arc.

  2. Tooth Proportion and Symmetry: The central incisors are dominant and should have ideal size, shape, and symmetry relative to surrounding teeth.

  3. Gum Line and Health: Healthy, well-positioned gums that complement the teeth without excessive or uneven exposure enhance smile attractiveness.

  4. The Frame around the teeth: Avoid wide dark spaces on the sides of the smile to maintain fullness.

  5. Midline Alignment: The midline of the upper front teeth should align with the facial midline for balanced appearance.

  6. Tooth Color and Shape: Teeth should be white, without stains, and have natural anatomical shapes and contours.

To achieve it an esthetic smile Dr. Kaufman uses

  • Teeth Whitening: Brightens discolored teeth for a more radiant smile.

  • Porcelain Veneers: Thin shells applied to teeth to correct shape, color, and minor alignment issues.

  • Zirconium Crowns: Durable, natural-looking crowns to restore damaged teeth.

  • Dental Implants: Replace missing teeth with artificial roots and crowns.

  • Orthodontics: Align and straighten teeth to improve bite and aesthetics.

  • Gum Treatments: Adjust gum line and health to optimize appearance.

  • Tooth Contouring/Reshaping: Minor modifications to tooth edges for better symmetry and shape.

Achieving a stunning smile starts with contacting us  or schedule an appointment for a consultation.
