Science Of A Smile
Size, shape, shade? What creates a trustworthy smile?
When it comes to crafting the perfect smile for each face,
a veneer dentist is a smile artist. They have a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the complexities of facial cues and how they impact social interactions.
According to a study published in the journal PLOS ONE, research suggests that less is often more when it comes to creating a successful smile.
The researchers found that a successful smile - one that is rated effective, genuine, and pleasant - may actually contradict the "more is always better" principle. A bigger smile that shows more teeth may actually be perceived less well. Instead, a successful smile has an optimal balance of teeth, mouth angle, and smile extent to hit a "sweet spot" of attractiveness. Smiles were also rated as more successful if they developed quite symmetrically, with the left and right side of the face being synced to within 125 milliseconds.
This is where our expert veneer dentists come in. They have the skills and expertise to carefully craft a custom smile that takes into account all of these factors. They use their artistic eye to create a smile that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also feels genuine and authentic to the person wearing it.
In addition to the aesthetic details when designing veneers, there are also important medical implications.
Veneers can help treat issues such as
Migraines
Tooth decay
Cracks
Chips
TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder)
Bruxism (clenching and grinding of the teeth)
By realigning the jaw and correcting misaligned teeth, veneers can help alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with these conditions. This can greatly improve the overall quality of life for those who suffer from these issues. Our extensively trained dentists can detect and correct those issues.
Our expert veneer dentists are like artists in their ability to craft the perfect custom smile for each face. By taking into account the complexities of facial cues and the optimal balance of teeth, mouth angle, jaw alignment, and smile extent, they are able to create smiles that are both aesthetically pleasing and emotionally authentic.

Testimonials From Our Clients
"Dr Ty helped me with getting veneers for the first time where I needed them (in anticipation for my wedding). I was extremely cautious and asked tons of questions since i needed to get Invisalign in order to fit veneers. Over the 8 month journey, he answered all my questions throughout, was a great listener and communicative, and worked closely with my orthodontist to ensure my teeth were ready for the new veneers. After having a few poor experiences with other dentists, I am so glad I found this dentist in Seattle!" -Madison Shinn
"I have had such a PHENOMENAL experience with Dr. Etheridge and his team. He’s not just a dentist, but an artist and engineer. After doing thorough research and meeting with other dentists, I chose to proceed with Dr. Etheridge for my Invisalign and Veneers. I am now done with my entire treatment and I would absolutely do it all again with Dr. Etheridge and his team - perfect outcome. He absolutely cares about each individual patient and develops an individualized treatment plan - he’s a perfectionist to say the least. The entire team at this office works well together and is super friendly!" -Al Santamaria
"You couldn't ask for a better dentist than Dr. Ty Ethridge. He and his staff are warm, professional, and skilled. They put even nervous patients like me at ease. I began seeing Dr. Ty after having neglected my oral hygiene for several years. With sensitive routine care, and restorative treatments including in-house veneers, he's returned both function and beauty to my mouth. His busy office is as accommodating as they can possibly be; and he and his staff are genuinely nice people endeavoring to do right by their patients. A great practice that deserves your trust and your business!" -Dawn StClair
"What can I say about Etheridge Family Dentistry? First off, this isn’t your normal family dentistry practice. Dr. Ty and his staff are extremely personable and take the time with each and every client. I have been a patient for over 5 years and in that time have had a lot of work done at his practice; cleanings, cavities, crowns, root canals, Invisalign, and veneers. Dr. Ty is considerate, trust worthy, patient, and always makes his patient, me, feel like part of his family. Dr. Ty is very skilled and from a cosmetic perspective will leave you feeling like a million dollars! I can’t say enough great things about this practice. I highly recommend Dr. Ty and his staff." -John Mills
