The choice of artificial teeth is made by the dentist in collaboration with the dental technician based on several factors, taking into account the patient’s wishes, without compromising the principles of dentofacial aesthetic integration.
Any remaining natural teeth, if present, are taken into account, along with their shape, dimensions, and color. In cases of complete edentulism, attempts are made to obtain dental details from photographs of the patient taken during the period when they still had teeth.
The anatomical details taken into consideration include the size and shape of the remaining teeth, the face, the nasal pyramid, the tone of the perioral soft tissues, functional determinations of the DVO, the smile line, and the amplitude of mouth opening.
The choice of color for the artificial teeth is also based on the patient’s skin tone, adapted to their age.
Psychosomatic typology influences dentofacial aesthetics to achieve
aesthetic dental restorations that are as natural as possible.
