Smile design is a personalized dental practice performed to make the appearance of teeth and gums look natural and beautiful. In this process, facial shape, lips, and skin tone are evaluated together.
✓Applied Main Procedures
Teeth whitening: Solves color problems. Porcelain laminate (veneer): Corrects shape and color defects with minimal abrasion. Zirconium coating: Provides a durable and aesthetic appearance. Gum aesthetics (pink aesthetics): Regulates irregular gum levels. Bonding applications: Fills minor shape defects.
✓What Should Be Considered When Designing a Smile?
When designing a smile, the design is created by considering not only anatomical parameters such as the patient's facial proportions, tooth sizes, gum levels, pupil positions, nose tip, facial asymmetry, lip positions, and jaw closure relationships, but also parameters affecting the patient's social life such as age, profession, and gender.
✓What Are the Advantages of Smile Design?
The most important advantage of smile design is that the patient can see their custom-designed smile without any procedures being performed on the teeth. This session is very beneficial for both the patient and the physician. Through smile design, it is possible to see the extent to which the patient's aesthetic expectations match their anatomy. Additionally, it can be seen whether this smile changes the patient's speech and the chewing function of their teeth.
✓How Long Does Smile Design Take?
Smile design procedures are completed in two sessions. The time between these two sessions is approximately 4-5 days.
✓Is Smile Design Permanent?
Smile design is a planning procedure. After the patient and physician agree on the smile, a record of this smile is taken digitally and stored digitally. It is then used in the production of aesthetic restorations (laminate veneers, full ceramic aesthetic coatings, or zirconium coatings) to be performed later.
