Digital smile design is the creation of a personalized, aesthetic smile design by dentists using digital technologies. In the field of dentistry, digital design software is used in our country as well as all over the world. In these software, the tooth structure and facial proportions of the person are analyzed in depth.

Thanks to digital software, dentists can achieve the most accurate harmony between the patient’s tooth structure, gums, lips and face. Thus, a natural and aesthetic smile can be created for the person. In digital smile design, a patient-oriented treatment is performed. The smile style that suits each person is different. That’s why dentists design the most suitable smile for the person.

In digital smile design, it will take 2 sessions to make the design and show it in the mouth. Dentists take the patient’s records in the first session. Then, in the second session, the smile design made for the patient on digital software is shown. If the patient approves the design made after the digital smile design program, the necessary studies begin immediately. If revisions are required, digital smile design may take 3 sessions.
