Cosmetic Smile Design Planner
Create comprehensive cosmetic smile designs with esthetic analysis and patient visualizations
What You Can Do
You can develop systematic cosmetic treatment plans that synthesize facial analysis principles, tooth morphology guidelines, and material science. Claude produces actionable esthetic analyses, treatment sequencing protocols, shade and material recommendations, and patient communication assets—enabling you to present predictable outcomes that align clinical vision with patient expectations and lab execution.
Features
proportional assessment of facial dimensions, smile arc, buccal corridors, and tooth position relative to facial landmarks
recommendations for composite vs. ceramic, translucency levels, layering techniques, and shade matching based on tooth anatomy
logical order for multiple cosmetic procedures (whitening, recontouring, bonding, veneers) to optimize results and patient acceptance
detailed text-based visualization guides for preview presentations before clinical work
clear, jargon-free explanations of design rationale and expected outcomes for informed consent
technical specifications and esthetic parameters for lab technicians to execute the design accurately
comprehensive records of baseline assessment, design decisions, and esthetic goals for clinical tracking
Example Output
Example 1: Veneer Case (Six Units)
Patient Profile: 45-year-old requesting smile rejuvenation; existing composite restorations with staining and slight diastema
Design Plan:
- Proportional Analysis: Central incisors at 80% of lower face height (optimal). Recommend 0.5mm gingival symmetry adjustment.
- Materials: Minimally invasive IPS e.max veneers, 0.5mm prep, shade A2 with B1 incisal translucency.
- Sequencing: Professional whitening (2 weeks) → impressions → temporary veneers → permanent cementation.
- Lab Brief: Slight distal contact tightening on teeth #7-8, natural surface texture on incisal 2mm, slight characterization at cervical line.
Example 2: Smile Makeover with Bonding
Patient Profile: 28-year-old; previous orthodontics, requests whitening and slight shape refinement
Design Plan:
- Esthetic Goals: Enhance incisal display by 1mm, refine #8-9 edges for softer feminine appearance.
- Material: Direct composite, hybrid composite A2 body with translucent incisal layer for longevity and repairability.
- Shade Protocol: Tooth whitening baseline, then composite shade match at 24 hours post-whitening.
- Patient Mock-up: Digital preview showing 1-2mm incisal edge lengthening and natural contact point refinement.
What's Included
- SKILL.md instruction file with complete framework and usage guidelines:
- Smile Design Template: structured worksheet for documenting facial analysis, tooth proportions, and esthetic goals
- Material Selection Checklist: decision tree for composite vs. ceramic, translucency, and shade matching protocols
- Patient Communication Script: customizable template explaining cosmetic plan in patient-friendly language
- Lab Technician Brief Template: technical specifications sheet for accurate fabrication and esthetic execution
