The purpose of the revision made for aesthetic smile design is to develop a harmonious and stable chewing system that encompasses teeth, gums, lips, muscles, skeletal structure, and joints. In essence, smile design aims to achieve the ideal smile by combining dentistry and art. Teeth whitening, laminate veneers, and orthodontic treatment are among the treatments that can be performed within smile design.
Smile design is planned by combining the individual’s personal aesthetic expectations with health and naturalness. The relationship between the teeth, the soft tissues surrounding the teeth, and the patient’s facial characteristics create a dynamic and three-dimensional tableau. Depending on shapes, sizes, and arrangements that harmonize with the individual’s facial features, the dentist and technician’s artistic work can create a natural and entirely pleasant appearance.
The goal of smile design is to provide aesthetic results with minimal preparation of dental structures, as conservatively as possible compared to the past. This smile we create should be not only aesthetically appealing but also functionally ideal. As dentists, our duty is to provide the best aesthetics in our patients through careful diagnosis, analysis, and treatment.
