Smile design is a treatment process that is planned specifically for the individual, taking into account the individual’s facial structure, gum form and teeth alignment. Various dental treatments are combined to achieve an ideal smile in terms of aesthetics and functionality. Antalya prosthetic dentistry specialist Dr. Tevfik Yavuz aims to create a natural and balanced appearance in smile design. Dental prosthesis applications are also among the important elements that complete smile aesthetics.
How is Smile Design Done?
The smile design process begins with a detailed analysis of the patient’s expectations and mouth structure. During this process, factors such as the color, size, alignment of the teeth, gum level and jaw structure are evaluated. A personalized treatment plan is prepared according to the patient’s needs. Various methods such as dental prosthesis, porcelain veneers, zirconium crowns, teeth whitening and orthodontic treatments can be used during this process.
Methods Used in Smile Design
- Porcelain Laminate Veneer: These are thin porcelain leaves applied to the front surface of the teeth. They provide an aesthetically natural appearance.
- Zirconium Coatings: More aesthetic and durable than metal-supported coatings.
- Teeth Whitening: Helps to achieve a brighter smile by removing discoloration on teeth.
- Orthodontic Treatments: Clear aligners or braces can be used to correct crooked teeth.
- Gum Aesthetics: Gum leveling procedures can be applied to patients with excess gums such as gummy smile.
- Dentures: Denture applications can be preferred to complete missing teeth and to have an aesthetically balanced smile.
In addition to the aesthetic appearance targeted in smile design, preserving chewing function is also important. Antalya prosthetic dentistry specialist Dr. Tevfik Yavuz brings together aesthetic and functional solutions in this process and offers appropriate treatment options to the patient. Denture applications are an important factor supporting smile aesthetics, especially in cases where missing teeth need to be completed.
Who can have a smile design?
Smile design is suitable for individuals who have irregularities in their dental structure, discoloration or crookedness, or who face aesthetic problems due to tooth loss. In addition, patients with disproportionate gums or asymmetrical appearances in their jaw structure can also benefit from this treatment.
Antalya prosthetic dentistry specialist Dr. Tevfik Yavuz applies personalized treatment methods by taking patient expectations into consideration in smile design. The dental prosthesis is planned to be compatible with natural teeth and helps to achieve a smile suitable for the patient’s facial structure.
