Overview
Smile design looks at your teeth together with your lips, face and bite, so that any change looks natural and suits you. Veneers are thin layers bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their shape, colour, size or small gaps.
Composite veneers are built up directly on the tooth with tooth-coloured resin and usually need little or no removal of natural tooth structure. Dr. Arash completed short- and medium-term courses in the design and fabrication of ceramic and composite veneers at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, in 2023 – including smile design and the “Hollywood smile”.
This may be recommended when
- Teeth are chipped, worn or uneven
- You have small gaps between front teeth

Frequently asked questions
Composite or porcelain veneers?
Composite is usually more conservative and repairable; porcelain is very stain-resistant but needs more preparation and a laboratory. Dr. Arash will explain which suits your case.
Will veneers look natural?
Shape and shade are planned with you around your face and existing teeth, with the aim of a natural, balanced result.
