The shape of a smile is crucial for an aesthetic appearance. Bright, well-aligned teeth with proportional visibility, healthy gums that complement the size of the teeth, and a beautiful smile are dreams for many. Smile design, also known as Hollywood Smile, brings the flawless smiles of actors and actresses we see in movies into our daily lives.
Named after the impeccable smiles of Hollywood stars, this procedure incorporates various application methods. White teeth alone are not the sole requirement for an aesthetic smile. Teeth, gums, and the lips framing these structures form the foundation of a beautiful and harmonious smile.
During the initial consultation with the dentist, a detailed clinical examination is conducted. Using 3D digital scanners and facial photographs taken from various angles, the necessary treatments for achieving an aesthetic smile are determined.
These procedures aim to provide the patient with harmonious teeth and lips, a healthy dental structure, healthy gums, and a well-functioning joint system.
During your consultation with the dentist, clinical and radiological evaluations are performed to determine the necessary treatments for your dental health. Using 3D scanner systems, the current aesthetic condition is assessed, and the desired outcome is visualized.
In this design process, factors such as your face shape, age, dental structure, lip structure, and gender are taken into account to create the most suitable teeth and gum structure for you.
If the teeth have any existing health issues, the necessary treatments are carried out to address these problems first. If required, gum surgeries are performed quickly, bloodlessly, and painlessly using laser applications. Following this, the preparation phase for achieving the planned smile begins.
Smile aesthetics are categorized into two main areas: white aesthetics and pink aesthetics.
White aesthetics refers to procedures performed on the teeth. These include teeth whitening, ceramic and porcelain veneers, bonding applications, recontouring, and implant treatments.
Pink aesthetics focuses on procedures involving the gums and lips. This includes adjusting the contour of the gums and lips to achieve a harmonious appearance.
Smile design is suitable for individuals who have completed their oral and bone development and do not present any health risks for the procedures. By working with an expert dentist and creating an accurate treatment plan, anyone can achieve a healthy and aesthetic smile.
For smile design, if there are old crowns or large restorations on existing teeth, aesthetic crowns such as e-max or zirconium crowns can be preferred.
In cases where minimal tooth substance loss is desired and the alignment of the teeth allows for such restoration, veneers, also known as laminate porcelain, can be used.
For situations where a smile needs to be improved with a lower budget and smaller adjustments, recontouring and bonding applications can be preferred.
For patients experiencing issues with tooth color, bleaching (teeth whitening) procedures can be applied.
To enhance the visible portions of the teeth, gum surgeries such as crown lengthening or gum leveling may be required, which can be performed using laser systems.
Additionally, lip contouring can be refined through procedures such as fillers or Botox.
