Besides the width of the tooth being %75 to %80 of the length,we also have a measurement generally to find out, what the length of the upper front tooth should be. How ? The cosmetic dentist or the Esthetic Dentist performing smile makeover should measure from the depth of the vestibule to the incisal edge of the front tooth,that measurement is usually around 22 milimeters (mm).,for ideal length of the upper front tooth,in which dictates your smile makeover initial stage.
Every patient should know that lighter teeth ,reveal bigger teeth,and darker teeth reveal smaller teeth! so just by teeth whitening, (bleaching teeth ),placing porcelain laminates or having porcelain veneers done ,automatically your teeth will look bigger and eventually your smile will be more zygomatic.
Because of this point mentioned ,i generally do not recommend having 6 teeth veneered ,or 6 (dental veneers )done. Your canine teeth already are bigger and darker than the rest of your teeth,if the patient changes the color to a more whiter desired color ,those 6 teeth will stick out like a sore thumb,and hides the rest of teeth, specially when you are looking at the smile from the side (the back teeth will look much smaller).
Having said that, it is vital that your cosmetic dentist ,plans your smile makeover by taking various photos and study models ,to plan the final outcome of your tratment.

Before commencing full mouth reconstruction,the esthetic dentist should have the end in mind.,meaning the desired smile according to the wants of the patient.There are certain principles that I have discovered that works extremely well in my Privte cosmetic dental practice.

IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION AFTER YEARS OF PRACTCE AND EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, that one’s awsome smile is all about golden proportions and ratio’s.

On  each individual tooth the width to length ratio is extremely important,as a general rule the width of your front tooth should be approximately 75% to 80% of the length of your tooth,meaning teeth should not look like a square (meaning short stubby tooth, or a chicklette) or a long rectangle (meaning long skinny tooth).

Did you know actually that the width of  your front tooth should be approximately 1/16  the width of your face!

When performing  smilemakeover,it is important how your teeth fit in space,and in relation to the lips ,  to bring about a dream smile .For instance when saying “E”,in an ideal situation ,2/3  the length of your upper teeth should show,and the upper teeth should follow the curve of the lower teeth in space,and be following the curve of lower lip.
