This intraoral mock-up is a method used for both the dentist and patient to evaluate the new look and tooth position and therefore the facial esthetics of the patient.
It gives the patient an opportunity to approve of the proposed changes before any irreversible treatment is carried out.
Cosmetic treatments and dental restoration work is crafted to match the mock-up. It may involve orthodontic tooth movements, gingival recontouring, crown lengthening surgeries, or implant placements depending on the plan we design together.

FAQs
Got questions? We’ve put together answers to some of the most common things our patients ask—so you’re ready for your visit.
What is a personalized smile design?
Smile design is a customized treatment plan that combines art and dentistry to enhance your smile. At Apex Dental Group, we use digital imaging to plan how your new smile will look before treatment even begins.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for smile design?
If you’re unhappy with the shape, color, or alignment of your teeth, smile design might be perfect for you. It’s ideal for patients who want to improve both appearance and confidence with a personalized approach.
What dental issues can smile design correct?
Smile design can address several concerns, including uneven or chipped teeth, discoloration, spacing issues, and worn edges. We’ll review your goals and recommend the best treatments for your needs.
How does the smile design process work?
We start with a consultation where we discuss your goals and take digital images of your teeth. Then, we create a trial version showing how your smile will look after treatment—allowing you to preview results before we begin.
What is a diagnostic trial covering?
A diagnostic trial covering is a temporary version of your future smile, created to help you visualize the final look. It allows our Apex team to make adjustments and ensures you’re completely satisfied before moving forward.
How long does smile design take?
The timeline depends on your treatment plan. Some patients see results in just a few visits, while more comprehensive plans involving veneers or orthodontics may take longer. We’ll give you a clear schedule during your consultation.
Are smile design results permanent?
The longevity of your results depends on the treatments involved. Veneers, crowns, or aligners offer lasting improvements, especially with good oral care and regular dental visits.
Does smile design hurt?
Not at all. Most smile design procedures are minimally invasive. Our team at Apex Dental Group focuses on comfort at every step, using gentle techniques and local anesthesia when needed.
