Smile design is the exquisite application of dentistry and art together to achieve a customized and harmonious smile for each unique face. At Akl Poliklinik, we begin by creating a comprehensive and healthy smile plan based on your personal wishes and our expert dentists' recommendations. Smile design is meticulously planned according to your age, gender, face shape, profession, and individual character, ensuring a result that truly reflects you.
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 natural lines and contours on a person's face provide crucial clues as to what form the tooth structure should take for optimal aesthetic balance.
What is Aimed with Smile Design? Comprehensive Solutions
Smile design aims to comprehensively address various aesthetic and functional issues, transforming your smile and boosting your confidence:
Tooth Discoloration: Correcting stains and yellowing for a brighter smile.
Alignment and Position Issues: Addressing single or multiple teeth being at different alignments or positions.
Missing Teeth Gaps: Filling unsightly gaps caused by missing teeth.
Gum Level Correction: Ensuring gums are at the correct, harmonious level.
Disproportionate Visible Amounts: Correcting disproportionate visible tooth and gum amounts for ideal tooth-to-gum ratio.
Mismatched Tooth Lengths: Preventing aesthetically unpleasing mismatched tooth lengths in relation to the lips.
Reversing Aged Appearance: Preventing an aged appearance caused by sunken facial and lip features due to missing teeth or dental wear.
Since all these problems can lead to a deterioration in the patient's aesthetic appearance and overall confidence, smile design at Akl Poliklinik aims to eliminate all of them, providing a rejuvenated and attractive smile.
What Treatments Are Performed in Smile Design? Tailored Approach
The specific treatments performed within smile design are determined according to the individual position, condition, and aesthetic needs of your teeth and gums. These treatments are carefully chosen and combined to achieve your desired outcome:
