What is
the purpose of digital smile design?
Digital
smile design is applied to patients who want a natural, confident and beautiful
smile. This treatment gives patients a smile that matches their physical
character and personality. This special concept contains all necessary factors
for a patient to be satisfied with their dental treatment. The final result can
be designed and displayed without any intervention to your teeth.
What
are the stages of the digital smile design?
In this
concept, we use professional high-resolution photography equipment and cameras to
record the patient's current state. This allows a detailed analysis and design of
the patient's smile. We use these photos and videos to prepare a personal smile
design.
After
the design is digitally prepared, our ceramist prepares a model in the lab.
Then, this design is transferred into the mouth with a special material, again,
without intervening with the existing teeth. We once again take photos and
video recordings of the design so that the patient can see and compare the
before and after. Together, the patient and dental professional evaluate
recordings on screen. Changes are made if necessary, and only after the desired
result is achieved, the permanent restoration stage begins.
What is
considered when designing a digital smile?
When
designing a smile, teeth, gums, face structure, skin, and lips are considered.
We also make sure the design fits the sociocultural and intellectual identity
and personality of the patient.
What
are the advantages of digital smile design?
This
concept brings digital technology and dental technology together. And the most
important advantage is that it can be applied without any intervention to the
teeth. So the patients don't worry if they will have any discomfort, or if the
design will suit them. It gives them the comfort of deciding for or giving up
on the treatment.
