A smile is one of the most important factors directly influencing a person’s facial expression and first impression. The colour, shape, alignment and harmony of the teeth with the lips form the basis of an aesthetically pleasing smile. With the advancements in cosmetic dentistry today, smile design has become one of the most sought-after treatments, both from an aesthetic and functional perspective.
Smile design involves assessing the teeth, gums, lips and facial features as a whole to create a personalised aesthetic smile plan. The aim is not merely to achieve white teeth, but to create a smile that is harmonious with the face, natural and balanced. Ber Dental Clinic approaches smile design not merely as an aesthetic procedure, but as a personalised process of art and planning.
How is a Smile Makeover Carried Out?
Smile design is a planned and phased treatment process tailored entirely to individual needs:
- Detailed Examination and Analysis: In the initial stage, the structure of the mouth, the condition of the gums and facial proportions are assessed. Digital measurements and X-ray analyses are carried out.
- Digital Smile Design: Thanks to digital technologies, patients have the opportunity to see the expected outcome before treatment begins. This stage is critical for ensuring that expectations are properly understood.
- Personalised Treatments: During the planning process, several methods—such as teeth whitening, veneers, zirconia crowns, orthodontic treatment or gum aesthetics (pink aesthetics)—may be combined.
- Implementation: The specified procedures are carried out step by step. Whilst the process takes just one session for whitening, it can take 5–10 days for veneers and 1–3 weeks for comprehensive designs.
Who is it suitable for?
Smile design is an ideal solution for anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their smile and is in good dental health. It is particularly recommended in the following situations:
- People with permanent discolouration and staining on their teeth
- People with crooked, gapped or misaligned teeth
- People with broken, worn or shortened teeth
- People with uneven gum lines or whose gums are highly visible when they smile
However, if you have active gum disease or severe tooth decay, it is essential that these issues are treated before proceeding with smile design.
Durability, Naturalness and Maintenance
The materials used in smile design are extremely durable. With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, veneers and crowns can retain their aesthetic appeal for 10–15 years. One of the most frequently asked questions concerns naturalness, which is achieved through personalised planning and the correct choice of materials. Ber Dental Clinic aims to provide natural smile designs that are free from an exaggerated or artificial appearance and are fully harmonious with the face.
To maintain the results achieved following treatment, you should avoid hard foods, limit your consumption of cigarettes and coloured drinks, and ensure you do not skip your daily oral hygiene routine.
