We know you won't be smiling if your questions are left unanswered. So browse through these FAQs and let us know if there's more you need to know.

What is Smile Design?

It means establishing a beautiful smile for each individual. If the eyes are the windows to the soul, Dr. Edmunds considers the smile to be the window to the personality. You don't have to put up with chipped, cracked, or stained teeth any longer. Let everyone see your winning personality through your smile. Smile Design is understanding the micromechanics of the tooth---its texture, shape and shade. Dr. Edmunds takes all of these factors into consideration to harmonize them within your smile zone.
