Smile design is an increasingly popular practice in the field of dental aesthetics. This procedure allows a person to achieve the ideal smile they desire by carefully considering various factors such as the size, shape, color and arrangement of the teeth. Smile design not only provides aesthetic satisfaction, but also increases a person's self-confidence and helps them create a stronger impact in social relationships. The smile design procedure is usually performed by a dentist or cosmetic dentist. The first step is a detailed consultation and evaluation process to understand the patient's wishes and expectations. During this process, the dentist identifies any problems affecting the person's smile and creates a treatment plan. Some of the methods used in the smile design procedure are:
- Teeth Whitening: It is a method used to lighten the color of teeth and obtain a brighter smile. With methods such as chemical agents or laser technology, stains on the surface of the teeth are cleaned and a whiter appearance is achieved.
- Porcelain Laminate Veneers: Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain veneers that are bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth. These veneers help achieve an aesthetic smile by improving the shape, size and color of the teeth.
- Aesthetic Fillings: It is a type of dental filling used to correct small defects in the teeth or fill gaps. These fillings are colored to match the natural tooth color and preserve the natural appearance of the teeth.
- Implants: It is a solution used to replace missing teeth. Implants work as artificial tooth roots and are integrated into the gums, acting like natural teeth.
