Smile design is a personalized approach in cosmetic dentistry that looks at the color, shape, size and alignment of the teeth together with the gum line and the relationship with the lips. It is not a single procedure but a treatment plan that combines different treatments according to your needs.
What Is Assessed During Planning?
- Facial features and lip line
- The color, shape and proportions of the teeth
- Gum level and symmetry
- Your bite
- Your expectations and oral health
During planning, photos and impressions are taken, and if needed, a digital design is used to give an idea of the possible result.
Treatments That May Be Used in Smile Design
- Teeth whitening
- Composite bonding (tooth-colored fillings)
- Porcelain laminate veneers
- Zirconia crowns
- Gum contouring
- Orthodontic treatment
Which treatments are needed is determined by the dentist based on your current situation and expectations.
Oral Health Comes First
Before starting cosmetic treatments, any decay needs to be treated and the gums need to be healthy. A healthy foundation helps the cosmetic result last longer.
Realistic Expectations
The goal of smile design is a natural-looking result that suits your facial features. Every case has its own limits; your dentist will explain the options suitable for you and the possible results during the examination. For detailed information, you can visit our smile design page.
