Smile design in brief
Smile design is not a single procedure but a planning approach. The color, form, length and alignment of the teeth are examined together with the gum line, lips and facial proportions. Then it is decided which procedures, such as whitening, orthodontics, veneers, zirconia or gum contouring, are needed and in what order.
The aim is a natural-looking result that suits you and your face while preserving healthy teeth as much as possible. Before any permanent work, the planned look can be tried in the mouth temporarily, so you make the decision together with us.
Which procedures can smile design include?
Not every plan includes all of these procedures. A combination of a few steps, starting with the least invasive, is usually recommended:
Teeth whitening
Lightening the color of natural teeth; the first step of most plans.
Details →Orthodontics and clear aligners
Aligning crowded or gapped teeth before any crowns.
Details →Veneers (porcelain laminates)
Correcting shape and color with thin porcelain bonded to the front surface of the teeth.
Details →Zirconia crown
Crowning teeth with large fillings, fractures or root canal treatment.
Details →Gum contouring
Gingivectomy if the gum line is uneven or the teeth look short.
Details →Cosmetic bonding
Closing small chips and gaps with tooth-colored filling material.
Details →What is assessed in smile design?

What affects the cost of smile design?
Because every plan is different, it would not be right to give an exact figure without an examination. After the examination, the scope of the plan is explained to you in detail. The main factors are:
Number of teethHow many teeth are included in the plan
Chosen proceduresWhitening, bonding, veneers or zirconia
Preliminary treatmentNeed for fillings, root canal or gum treatment
Gum contouringWhether the gum line needs correcting
OrthodonticsWhether the teeth need aligning before crowns
Night guardA protective guard if you clench your teeth
Risks of smile design and things to watch out for
It depends on the procedures done. The most commonly discussed points are:
IrreversibilityTooth structure is removed for veneers and zirconia; these procedures cannot be undone.
SensitivityAfter whitening and tooth preparation there may be sensitivity to hot and cold for a while.
Fracture and debondingClenching and biting hard objects can damage restorations.
Need for careIf restoration margins are not cleaned well, decay and gum problems can develop.

Common questions about smile design
How long does smile design take?
It depends on the plan. A plan with only whitening and bonding can be completed in a few weeks; plans that need orthodontics can take a few months.
Will my teeth be cut down for smile design?
Not always. Whitening and bonding do not remove tooth structure; veneers require little reduction and zirconia more. The most conservative option possible is considered first.
Can I see the result in advance?
The planned teeth can be tried in the mouth with a temporary material before any permanent work. This way you decide after seeing the length, shape and color.
Is smile design painful?
Procedures that need tooth preparation are done under local anesthesia. There may be some sensitivity for a while afterwards.
Which is more suitable, veneers or zirconia?
Veneers are more often chosen to correct the shape and color of healthy front teeth, and zirconia for teeth with large fillings or fractures. The decision is made at the examination based on the condition of the tooth.
How white can I choose my teeth?
The shade is chosen together to match your face and natural teeth. Very white shades may not look natural on every face; the try-in makes this decision easier.
Is smile design permanent?
With regular care and check-ups, restorations can be used for many years, but they may need renewing over time. The effect of whitening may fade depending on diet and habits.
Can the appearance of the gums also be corrected?
If too much gum shows when you smile or the gum line is uneven, gum contouring (gingivectomy) can be added to the plan.
