Smile Design
Smile design in Lima is a personalized cosmetic treatment that improves the shape, color and harmony of your teeth to create a natural, balanced smile that suits your face. At The Dental Clinic, with offices in Miraflores and San Isidro, we combine aesthetic judgment, clinical expertise and digital design to plan the result before we begin. Depending on each case, treatment may include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening or a comprehensive smile makeover. We also welcome international patients visiting Lima through our dental tourism program.
What is smile design?
Smile design is a set of dental treatments aimed at improving the overall appearance of your smile. It is based on a digital facial and dental analysis that considers proportions, face shape, gums and lips to plan a balanced, beautiful and healthy smile.
What types of smile design do we offer?
- Digital smile design: we plan the result virtually before starting treatment.
- Design with porcelain or resin veneers: improves the color, shape and size of the teeth.
- Smile design with orthodontics: aligns the teeth for a more harmonious smile.
- Comprehensive smile design: combines aesthetic and functional treatments such as whitening, crowns, gum treatment and implants.
What is the smile design process like?
Evaluation and study
We analyze your face, teeth and gums using photographs, intraoral scanning and, if needed, X-rays.
Digital design and simulation
We plan your new smile digitally so you can see a simulation and decide together with the specialist before we begin.
Treatment plan
We define which treatments you need (veneers, whitening, orthodontics, crowns or others), the sequence, the timeline and the budget.
Treatment and final adjustments
We carry out the treatment and fine-tune the details of shape and color so the result blends in with your face.
How much does a smile design cost in Lima?
The price depends on the treatments your case includes (for example veneers, whitening, orthodontics or crowns), the number of teeth and the materials. After the evaluation and digital design, we give you a fixed, detailed quote.
How long does the treatment take?
It depends on the treatments being combined. A design with whitening and veneers can be completed in just a few appointments, while a plan that includes orthodontics or implants extends over several months. During your evaluation we give you a timeline for your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a smile design take?
It depends on the type of treatment; it can take from one visit to a few weeks, depending on the procedures included.
Is smile design reversible?
It depends on the treatments. Resin cosmetic bonding is conservative and can be modified or removed; whitening does not require reshaping the tooth; porcelain veneers, on the other hand, usually require a minimal adjustment of the enamel and are considered permanent. During your evaluation we explain each option.
Can I get a smile design if I have braces?
Yes. In fact, many patients combine both treatments to achieve a more complete and balanced result.
What is the difference between smile design and teeth whitening?
Whitening improves only the color of the teeth, while smile design addresses shape, size, alignment and color.
Does a smile design change over time?
Yes, over time natural wear and habits such as coffee, wine or tobacco can change its appearance. With good hygiene, regular checkups and the recommended maintenance, the result lasts better over time.

During my vacation in Peru from Australia in December, I went to see the team at The Dental Clinic to get crowns (for my upper teeth), whitening and a cleaning. I was greeted by Gianluca, who was extremely kind and attentive, and then I met Lilian and the team to do the work on my teeth. The clinic was in an excellent location and was top quality. The work Lilian did on my teeth, preparing them for the crowns, making them and then fitting them, was fantastic. The process was painless, easy and very professional. Thank you so much for making my teeth look amazing. I recommend this clinic without hesitation. Thank you so much for everything, and I'm looking forward to coming back to get my lower crowns done. :)
