How to make a Smile Design?
When it comes to smile design, it is very important to understand the patient’s aesthetic expectations and determine their needs very well. Measurements are taken from the patient’s mouth and models are prepared using these measurements. In these prepared models, problems are identified and necessary planning is made.Then, temporary restorations prepared in the computer environment to look most realistic, suitable for the patient’s mouth and face, are presented to the patient’s to his/her approval. Treatment begins in case there is a positive response obtained from the patient regarding the smile design. After the planning is completed, if no orthodontic treatment is needed, the gum problems are first corrected. If there are missing teeth, implant procedures and other surgical procedures considered necessary are planned and performed first. When all these procedures are completed, teeth whitening can be applied and composite fillings can be made in order to repair visual disorders. Laminate or zirconium veneers can also be preferred instead of composite fillings. They are more expensive applications. Then rehearsal takes place and the process continues once the patient’s consent is obtained. Sometimes, medical aesthetic applications are also used during the smile design. Smile can be brought into the forefront by making medical aesthetic applications such as dermal fillers etc. to the lips and face areas.
