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.
