Smile Design by Sacramento Dentist Dr. Scott Grivas III

Smile Design

A Smile Worth Smiling About!

If you have settled for cracked, chipped, misaligned or discolored teeth, spaces, crowding, old bondings, degenerating fillings or oddly-shaped gums, Dr. Scott Grivas can help.

When they spend time with Dr. Grivas for the very first time, many of our new patients realize that their smile can actually be changed. Prior to that initial meeting, the idea of a completely transformed smile seemed like an obscure, out-of-reach concept.

The reality is that your face was designed to match a certain kind of smile. Dr. Grivas can conduct a quick evaluation of your face, assessing the following six elements:

• Teeth - their shape, color, shade and angle.
• Facial Structure - for symmetry or asymmetry, shape and midline.
• Functional Occlusal Harmony - the relationship of forces between your teeth.
• Gum Line - the health, contour, exposure and color of your gums.
• Age, Gender and weight - relative to the size and shape of your unique teeth.
• Bite Measurement - to make sure that you muscles and bones are working properly.

It’s difficult to describe the effects of a cosmetically enhanced smile. The best word might be “life-changing”. A few of our patients smiled so much their face was sore!

We invite you to visit with Sacramento dentist Scott Grivas and discover what your new smile could look like!

What Does Your Smile Say About You?

Your smile is so much more than a mere anatomical trait; it’s an expression of who you are - and it’s one of the first things people notice about you. Together, your mouth and your eyes communicate your emotions, attitude and personality.

Sacramento dental specialist Scott Grivas only uses Empress-brand porcelain veneers to create your smile. For aesthetic beauty and dependable durability, Empress porcelain is simply unsurpassable.

The process begins with the selection of a smile. Page through our LVI catalog, bring in photos of your favorite celebrity smiles or past pictures. Once we decide on a smile, it is time for digital photos and pre-operative models.

Soon our LVI-accredited lab will return provisionals based on your diagnostic wax-up model. Wear them for a two-week trial phase to make sure you are comfortable with their fit and appearance. When you are ready, Sacramento dentist Scott Grivas will perform your completely pain-free, smile makeover.
