Smile Design and Aesthetic Dentistry
Smile design and aesthetic dentistry is the combination of dentistry and art to achieve a healthy and attractive smile. Aesthetic dentistry aims to increase the self-confidence of the individual by improving the color, shape, size and overall appearance of the teeth. Thanks to modern technology and innovative techniques, smile design offers personalized solutions.
What is Smile Design?
Smile design is the process of creating an ideal smile by considering the harmony of the individual’s facial features, gums and teeth. This process includes a combination of aesthetic dentistry procedures and is planned completely individually. Smile design is shaped according to the individual’s aesthetic expectations and needs.
How is Aesthetic Dentistry ProceduresCanal Treatment Performed?
Aesthetic dentistry includes various procedures that form the cornerstones of smile design:
1. Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening provides a whiter and brighter appearance by lightening the color of the teeth. This procedure significantly improves the aesthetics of the smile and is usually preferred as the first step.
2. Porcelain Laminate (Leaf Porcelain)
Porcelain laminates are thin porcelain coatings applied to the front surface of the teeth. They are an ideal solution for correcting the shape, color and alignment of the teeth.
3. Dental Implants
Dental implants used to replace missing teeth offer the closest solution to natural teeth in both aesthetic and functional terms. Implants play an important role in completing the smile.
4. Orthodontics
The alignment of the teeth is achieved using braces or transparent plates (aligners). Orthodontic treatment is necessary to correct crooked teeth and achieve a proper smile.
5. Gum Aesthetics
Gum aesthetics corrects the shape and alignment of the gums. This procedure is ideal for reducing the excessive gum appearance known as the “gummy smile.”
6. Composite Fillings and Veneers
Composite fillings are used to eliminate tooth decay and minor aesthetic defects. These fillings, which are the natural color of the tooth, eliminate aesthetic concerns.
