Smile Design
is the design of the most ideal smile for the person by evaluating the teeth, oral and facial area as a whole and aesthetically harmonising them.
3D Smile Design
When performing Smile Design, it is necessary to evaluate the patient's teeth together with the entire facial area. In order to achieve this, procedures are carried out under a number of headings.
These include many characteristic features such as the shape of the face, the gender of the person, the age of the person, the social position of the person, the length of the hair. Combining these characteristic features and finding the tooth suitable for the person's face is of course proportional to the experience of the dentist and at the same time to the desire of the person.
It should not be forgotten that smile design applications differ in each individual.
How is Smile Design Performed?
Photographs and videos are taken during the session applied for smile design. In the same session, an impression is taken from your upper and lower jaw for design.
It takes 2 sessions to make the design and show it to you in the mouth. After the records taken in the first session, at the second session, this design is shown to you in the mouth with the application we call "Mock Up".
While designing the smile, the individual's facial features, eye, ear, nose, chin tip, etc. parameters are taken into consideration.
A silicone mould obtained from the prepared design model is placed on your teeth without any abrasion etc. on your teeth. You can imagine it as a model. With the guidance of your dentist, you can examine this design in front of a mirror or by taking a camera recording. This mock up material is then removed from the mouth. The removal process is quite easy. Your dentist will tell you in detail what kind of procedures should be done to your existing teeth in order to achieve the ideal smile design, with alternatives, if any. Ideal smile design is usually achieved by applying Aesthetic Dentistry, Orthodontics, Dental Implants and Gingival Aesthetics alone or together. Depending on the treatment procedure you have agreed to, your dentist will give you a new appointment and start your treatment.
The Importance of Botox and Filling in Smile Design (Medical Aesthetics)
Over time, as the age progresses, the distance between the tip of the jaw and the nose (vertical dimension) decreases due to the abrasion of the teeth, the laugh lines (nasolabial areas) descending from the edge of the nose become prominent, and the cheeks descend downwards due to the effect of gravity.
While the teeth can be made more beautiful with aesthetic laminates and whitening treatments, since it is necessary to evaluate the face as a whole, supporting the surrounding tissues with a renewed sparkling smile brings the treatment to a complete result.
The aim is to complete the tissue loss rather than creating a new face.
Tissue loss on the lips, prominent laugh lines, cheekbones and cheeks are filled with dermal fillers, while botox application is used to prevent mimic lines around the eyes and forehead from becoming prominent. In this way, the treatment is completed by evaluating the face as a whole.
Gingival Regulations in Smile Design
Symmetry and visibility of the gums are very important in smile design. The visibility of teeth and gums when we laugh is evaluated differently in men and women. The appearance of more gums than it should be may cause aesthetic concerns for the individual. This problem can be easily corrected with a simple surgical procedure. Today, these laser-assisted procedures provide great comfort to the patient as they are both bleeding-free and painless.
