Smile design is a cosmetic dental procedure that corrects teeth imperfections and restores your dental health. It involves a customised treatment that gives a straighter, whiter, and natural-looking smile. Let us know more about this procedure.

What is a 'smile designing' procedure?

Those who are seeking a better smile undergo the 'smile designing' procedure. It includes certain procedures such as dental veneers, composite bonding, teeth whitening, and tooth implants.

It can help make your teeth whiter and make stained teeth look young, bright, and well-shaped. It also includes tooth implantation if there is a missing tooth.

This treatment also focuses on your lips and cheeks, making them look fuller and bigger. People with tooth discoloration, chipped or cracked teeth, misaligned teeth, Gummy smile, and missing teeth usually opt for this surgery.

What happens due to overdose of anaesthesia?

Anesthesia can suppress the respiratory (breathing) system. An overdose may lead to severe respiratory depression. This will cut off your body's oxygen supply. It also affects the cardiovascular system as an overdose results in decreased blood pressure and heart rate.

Excessive anesthesia can also supress the central nervous system, causing prolonged unconsciousness, confusion, or even coma.
