Smile design is the application of dentistry and art together to achieve a customized smile for each face. First, a healthy smile plan is created based on your personal wishes and your dentist's recommendations. Smile design is planned according to your age, gender, face shape, profession, and character.
The most important aspect of smile design is that your smile is restructured while preserving your health and naturalness. When starting smile design, the first step is to determine which geometric shape your facial features fit. This is because the lines on a person's face give clues as to what form the tooth should take.
Smile design aims to address various issues such as tooth discoloration, single or multiple teeth being at different alignments or positions, filling gaps caused by missing teeth, ensuring gums are at the correct level, correcting disproportionate visible tooth and gum amounts, preventing mismatched tooth lengths in the lips, and preventing an aged appearance caused by sunken facial and lip features due to missing teeth. Since all these problems can lead to a deterioration in the patient's aesthetic appearance, smile design aims to eliminate all of them.
Treatments in smile design are determined according to the position and condition of the tooth. These treatments include tooth lengthening, tooth shortening, correcting tooth shape, thinning and thickening according to tooth position, correcting gum gaps, flattening the tooth surface layer, and corner design such as squaring, sharpening, rounding, and filing.
