How is Smile Design Done?

The smile design process generally involves several stages:

1. Evaluation: The dentist assesses the current dental structure and aesthetic needs of the patient. Factors such as tooth shape, size, color, and position are examined, along with facial structure.
2. Planning: A personalized treatment plan is created considering the patient’s aesthetic expectations and facial features. Necessary procedures and methods are determined at this stage.
3. Implementation: The planned procedures are carried out, which may include teeth whitening, veneers, implants, or gum treatments. Each procedure is tailored to individual needs.
4. Review: Post-treatment results are evaluated. Adjustments are made if necessary to ensure patient satisfaction.
