Smile Design
When it comes to aesthetic dentistry, the first thing that comes to mind is the term “smile design”. Smile design is the process of restoring teeth and gums that have been aesthetically damaged for any reason to a natural and beautiful appearance according to the patient’s facial shape.
Who can undergo smile design?
It is the treatment applied to provide smile aesthetics as a result of problems such as crookedness, discoloration and staining in the alignment of teeth.
What details should be taken into consideration when performing Aesthetic Smile Design?
The first stage can be seen as patient satisfaction.
Before the treatment, the patient is interviewed and their complaints and why they feel uncomfortable while smiling are listened to. A plan is made accordingly and the treatment begins. In the smile design process, attention is paid to the lip structure, the size of the teeth, the shape of the gums, and the harmony of the lips and teeth.
What Exclusive Treatments Are Performed in Smile Design?
1-) The whitening period may vary. The tone can be lightened in an average of 30-40 minutes. The whiteness can be preserved for up to 1 year if the patient pays attention to their eating and drinking habits to protect the teeth.
2-) Porcelain laminates are bonded onto the teeth. It is very possible to achieve an aesthetic smile with the use of laminates.
3-) Zirconium is a widely used technique. Since zirconium is a light-transmitting material, it is very effective in providing an aesthetic appearance.
4-) In the orthodontic technique, the crooked tooth structure is treated by applying porcelain brackets.
5-) In implant treatment, missing teeth are completed. Then, an aesthetic appearance is given to the tooth.
