Dr. Puig: “Your Smile Is A Work Of Art”

Answer: The Principle of Divine Proportion

DID YOU KNOW THAT HIGHLY SKILLED COSMETIC DENTISTS LIKE DR. PUIG use Leonardo da Vinci’s “Principle of Divine Proportion” when they design your gorgeous new smile? It’s true. Beautiful smiles are proportioned to include consideration of many factors—including your age, lifestyle, and of course, physical characteristics. There are other truisms associated with our teeth themselves—including the fact that teeth tend to get shorter with wear as we age.

Much like an oil painter working on a canvas, Dr. Puig takes her artistic inspiration and turns it into awesome smiles. In some cases, procedural and design techniques include tooth lengthening or shortening. Veneers are also considered sometimes to widen your teeth or broaden a smile. Crowns can bring subtle, yet totally different dimensions to facial proportions. It’s part art, and part science.

Just for kicks, look into a mirror and ask yourself the following questions:

• Can I draw a vertical line from my pupil to a corner of my mouth?
• Does my face divide horizontally into thirds?
• Does the lower third of my face divide into thirds again (from nose to chin)?
• Does my face divide into fifths vertically (5 times the width of one eye)?

It’s really fun and interesting when you begin to notice mother nature’s “divine” and intricate connections to artistic principles.

Dr. Puig adds, “Cosmetic dental procedures are absolutely worth the investment in altering or restoring the ideal proportions for your own physical characteristics. There’s nothing more fulfilling for me, and our team, than witnessing the life-changing transformation that often takes place for many of our patients through smile makeovers.”
