Lidia's Smile Story

Lidia spent years in front of the camera with one quiet hesitation about her smile. She wanted it brighter and more even, but she did not want it to look artificial, and above all she did not want her healthy teeth damaged to get there. This is how we designed a natural smile around her own teeth at our Geneva clinic.

Where Lidia started

If you have ever smiled in a photo and then wished your teeth looked a little brighter or more even, but worried that fixing them would mean looking fake or sacrificing your real teeth, Lidia felt exactly the same. As a model, she had lived with that small hesitation for years. Her two priorities were clear from the first conversation: the result had to look natural, and her healthy teeth had to be respected. That is a common and completely reasonable concern. A smile story like this is not about a uniform, manufactured set of teeth. It is your own smile, refined.

What we treated

Laser gum contouring (gingivectomy) to balance the gum line
Porcelain veneers, designed for a natural shape and shade
Professional whitening

How we planned it

At Smile Design Boutique, aesthetics never come at the expense of biology or function. We assessed Lidia’s gums, bite, and tooth shape first, then planned the treatment. Laser gum contouring created a more even frame, the porcelain veneers refined shape and shade with minimal preparation of her natural teeth, and whitening completed the result.Because the smile was planned digitally, Lidia could see the direction of her new smile before any treatment began. That visual clarity is what turns “I hope this looks right” into “I can see exactly where this is going.”

The Process of Designing Smile

Lidia’s dental narrative at Smile Design Boutique is one of precision and aesthetics. Laser gingevectomy paved the way for meticulously designed veneers and a tailored bleaching process. Each step was a symphony of science and artistry, resulting in a smile that not only complements Lidia’s modeling career but also accentuates her natural beauty. Her journey is a testament to the seamless blend of personalized care and transformative dentistry.

The result

Lidia’s smile is brighter and more balanced, and it still looks like her. For someone who appears on camera, a natural finish matters far more than a dramatic one. As with every case, results depend on each patient’s oral health, habits, and care, and every plan is confirmed only after a clinical examination.

"I have been modeling for many years and always had a little complex about my smile. I wanted a natural look and above all I did not want to damage the existing tooth, so I turned to a holistic approach and met Dr de la Torre."
