When it comes to oral care, the first thing that comes to mind is the solution to problems such as toothaches, cavities, and bad breath, but smile aesthetics related to teeth and gums are also very important. Various factors can cause disruptions in dental structure. This can have negative effects on individuals both physically and psychologically. Nowadays, thanks to developing technology, smile aesthetics can be applied. Smile design, also known as “Hollywood Smile Design” among the public, is designed according to the patients’ needs and facial structure.
So, what is smile design exactly, and how is it done?
Let’s find out the answers to all your questions together.
What is Smile Design?
Smile design is a treatment method that allows different dental and gum differences that disturb the aesthetics to be restored to a natural appearance suitable for the patient’s needs and facial structure. The whole process is planned from the very beginning in smile design. Moreover, thanks to developing technology, the result of the treatment can be demonstrated to the patient as a demo visual at the beginning of the process.
Smile design is a permanent procedure. However, regular oral and dental care by the patient and not neglecting dental check-ups are of great importance to increase the permanence of the smile design.
What should be considered during Smile Design?
Smile design is determined individually. The main reason for this is that each patient’s aesthetic needs are different. When determining the procedures to be performed for smile design, the patient’s facial features, gender, age, and expectations are taken into consideration.
The priority in smile design is to understand the patient’s aesthetic expectations correctly. After determining the needs accurately, models are prepared by taking measurements from the patient’s mouth, and planning is made on these models. After the planning process is completed, the oral and facial photographs of the patients are taken on the computer environment with special measurements. This process ensures the calculation of the compatibility of the treatment to the patient’s facial structure. Visuals closest to the resulting image are also prepared with special programs and presented to the patient.
Which Problems Can be Solved with Smile Design?
Although natural teeth are very durable and functional, they have a fragile and prone to decay structure. Tooth loss also begins in many people at a certain age. Although the healthiest tooth is the natural tooth, poorly maintained and genetically weak teeth are harmful to health. Smile design is important in this respect. If you are wondering what problems can be solved with smile design, here are some:
How is Smile Design Done?
We have talked about the importance of accurately determining the patient’s needs for smile design. If no orthodontic treatment is required after all the planning is completed, the first procedure to be performed will be to correct the level differences in the gums. In cases where there is a missing tooth, planned implant procedures and other necessary surgical applications are also performed. If necessary, teeth whitening procedures are applied to the patient immediately after the completion of the surgical applications’ healing process. If this method is not sufficient, dental aesthetic composite fillings are used to eliminate both the form and visual impairments in the teeth. If porcelain laminate and coatings or zirconium coatings are required, they will come into play. In most cases, no or minimal abrasion is performed for porcelain laminate applications. When porcelain or zirconium applications are made, changes can be made according to the patient’s opinions again. During all applications or trials, the patient’s lip shape and contour are also taken into account, and the final design.
