How is aesthetic dentistry different from cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on procedures, while aesthetic dentistry focuses on harmony and natural appearance. We design the smile first—proportions, symmetry and shade—then choose the least-invasive mix of treatments to achieve that look. For treatment details, see our Cosmetic Dentistry page.

What is a smile design or trial smile?

Smile design uses photos and digital planning to preview shapes, lengths and proportions before treatment. A trial smile is a temporary mock-up you can wear briefly to evaluate the look in real life and request refinements.

Do I need veneers for an aesthetic result?

Not always. Many patients reach their goals with whitening, ICON for white spots and minimal edge bonding. Veneers are reserved for multi-tooth shape and colour changes or when long-term stability is needed.

Can I combine Invisalign with aesthetic dentistry?

Yes. When tooth position is the main issue we often start with clear aligners. After alignment, minor bonding or veneers can fine-tune shape and shade for a natural finish.

How long do aesthetic results last?

Longevity depends on the chosen methods and home care. With regular hygienist visits, good brushing and occasional touch-ups, results can remain fresh for many years.

What does a Hollywood smile mean in Stockholm?

It usually refers to a brighter, uniform style made to look camera-ready. At our clinic we tailor colour and texture to your skin tone and facial features so the result still appears natural rather than over-treated.

Is aesthetic dentistry safe for my teeth?

Yes—when planned conservatively. Our design-first approach prioritises minimal or additive options and protects enamel. We only recommend irreversible steps when clearly beneficial and desired.

How much does aesthetic dentistry cost?

Costs vary with goals and case complexity. After your consultation and preview, we provide a transparent plan and can stage treatment to suit your budget and timeline.

Aesthetic Dentistry in Stockholm – Smile Design & Facial Harmony

Aesthetic dentistry is the art of designing a smile that looks natural on you — balanced with your face, lips and personality. Rather than listing procedures, our focus is on proportions, symmetry and shade so the final result feels effortless, confident and uniquely yours.

At Gloss & Floss Dental Care®, we use photography, digital planning and a step-by-step design process to map your ideal look first, then choose the least-invasive ways to achieve it. If you want a subtle refresh or a “Hollywood smile” styled to suit Swedish aesthetics, we build a plan around your goals, lifestyle and timeline.

What Makes Aesthetic Dentistry Different?

Smile harmony: tooth size, width/height ratio, and midline are adjusted for facial balance.
Gum symmetry: a balanced gum line frames the teeth and elevates the whole smile.
Shade & texture: we match translucency and surface texture so teeth look like real enamel, not “one-shade fits all.”
Minimalism first: whenever possible, we prefer additive, conservative methods before irreversible changes.

How We Design Your Smile

Every aesthetic case starts with understanding you. During the consultation we photograph your smile at rest and in motion, discuss style references, and review health factors. Next, we create a preview so you can see direction before any treatment.

Consultation & photos: goals, health and camera-guided analysis. Book a visit: dental consultation.
Digital planning: line angles, proportions and shade mapping to build a natural brief.
Trial smile: a temporary mock-up so you can evaluate shape and length in real life.
Refine & finalise: once you love the preview, we confirm the plan and schedule treatment.

Treatments We Often Combine for an Aesthetic Result

We select the gentlest blend for your case; not every option is needed.

Shade tuning: in-clinic or home whitening to lift colour evenly — see teeth whitening.
White-spot softening: micro-infiltration for enamel spots and lines — ICON treatment.
Edge bonding: additive, tooth-coloured resin to refine edges and close tiny spaces (conservative and reversible).
Veneer artistry: for multi-tooth shape/colour refinement, explore porcelain/ceramic veneers.
Discreet alignment: when position is the main issue, we often start with aligners — learn about Invisalign.

Who Benefits Most from Aesthetic Dentistry?

Uneven smile line or tooth lengths that don’t match facial features
White spots, patchy shade or overall dullness after braces or staining
Mild crowding/spacing where a conservative, staged approach works best
Professionals seeking a camera-friendly, but still natural, “public-facing” smile

Maintaining Your New Aesthetic

Results last longest with simple habits and regular care. Our hygienist team supports you with professional cleaning — see dental hygienist treatments, including AIRFLOW® stain removal and tartar removal.
