When it comes to oral care, most people first think of problems such as toothache, tooth loss or bad breath and their solutions. However, interest in smile aesthetics related to teeth and dental aesthetics is increasing very rapidly. Crowding in the tooth alignment, abnormal discolouration, decayed teeth and tooth loss are aesthetically disturbing and can negatively affect social life.
They may cause a lack of self-confidence, leading people to avoid smiling in public and to feel the need to cover their mouth while smiling or speaking. In some cases, even though the teeth are healthy, a person may want the disproportion in the teeth or gums, or the deformities in shape and form, to be corrected. These problems can easily be eliminated with the procedures within the scope of aesthetic dentistry.
Hollywood smile refers to the procedures performed on the teeth and gums whose appearance has deteriorated aesthetically for different reasons, taking the face shape and the requirements into account, in order to achieve the most natural and beautiful appearance for each patient. With smile aesthetics, the teeth of the patient are given a natural look in harmony with the jaw and the face, the gums become healthier and the teeth brighter.
Hollywood smile can be applied to anyone who wants to have a more beautiful and more pleasant smile.
The most important step of smile aesthetics is understanding the needs and expectations of the patient correctly and making the planning individually. After the planning is made according to the identified problems, mouth measurements are taken and models are prepared. Measurements are made on the intraoral and facial photographs with special programs and the harmony of the planned procedures with the face shape is evaluated. With the programs used and with the temporary restorations prepared in accordance with the original structure of the mouth of the patient, the closest version of the appearance to be obtained at the end of the treatment is presented to the patient and their approval is received.
If orthodontic treatment is required, priority is given to eliminating the level irregularities in the gums. If there is tooth deficiency, the necessary surgical applications and implant treatment are performed. When healing is achieved after the surgical applications, the teeth whitening procedure is applied. If there are visual and formal defects in the teeth, they are eliminated with aesthetic composite filling, porcelain laminate veneer or zirconium veneer. In the case of a porcelain or zirconium application, changes can be made during the trial in line with the opinion of the patient. During the tooth and gum applications, the targeted design takes its final form as the shape and the contour of the lips are also taken into consideration.
In some cases, dermal filler or similar medical aesthetic procedures can be applied to the lips or to the other parts of the face so that the smile is brought more to the fore.
Smile aesthetics is a process that needs to be planned individually. It should not be ignored that the aesthetic requirements of people may differ. In order to obtain the most natural and effective results, the planning should be made by taking factors such as the gender, the age, the facial features, the expectations and the requirements of the patient into account.
After smile aesthetics applications, toothpastes with abrasive properties should not be used and incorrect tooth brushing habits should be changed. Otherwise, scratches may occur on the surface of the teeth. For this reason, the teeth should be brushed 2 or 3 times a day with non-abrasive fluoride toothpastes.
Dental floss should be used regularly so that the procedures applied to the teeth remain permanent for a long time, the plaque remaining on the teeth is cleaned and tooth decay is prevented. Providing intraoral hygiene with alcohol-free mouthwashes is very important. Consuming foods with a high sugar content and biting and chewing hard objects should be avoided.
Although it varies according to the scope of the procedure to be applied, it is mostly completed in 3 sessions.
Smile design is permanent, but it is very important for the patient to pay the necessary attention to oral and dental health and not to neglect the check-ups.
Since the procedures to be carried out within the scope of smile design are performed under anaesthesia, no pain or ache is felt.
They are determined individually by evaluating the requirements and the expectations of the patient.
