For many people, not only the health of the teeth but also their aesthetic appearance is very important. Unwanted color changes and tooth loss caused by reasons such as decayed teeth, gingiva disease, crooked teeth, smoking, etc., can cause people to be dissatisfied with their smiles.

Smile aesthetics or smile design is an aesthetic dentistry practice with many different procedures to be decided individually, aiming for the perfect smile. People who think that their smile is not aesthetic may have to fight with a lack of self-confidence and unhappiness. In this case, they can apply to specialist dentists for applying smile aesthetics.

Stages of smile aesthetics

In the application of smile aesthetics, which consists of many steps, a detailed examination is made by the dentist at the first appointment. Considering the patient's wishes, facial features, tooth and gingival ratio, gender, and age, the necessary procedures for the correct smile design are planned. All procedures are implemented with the consent of the patient. For smile aesthetics, implant, prosthesis, bridge, tooth whitening, zirconium tooth coating, gingiva treatment, resizing of teeth, lip shaping operations, or, if necessary orthodontic treatment can be planned.

When the patient approves the plan made by the dentist, procedures can be started with gingiva treatment. After the missing teeth are corrected with the necessary procedures, the teeth can be whitened by reducing them according to the dentist's decision. Lip aesthetics and fillings to the face areas can be applied if it is in the plan.

If the planned treatment only targets tooth and gingiva problems, smile aesthetic procedures can be completed in a few weeks. This process may be longer for patients who need orthodontic treatment.
