GENERAL PERCEPTIONS AND EXPECTATIONS OF PHYSICIAN-PATIENT IN SMILE DESIGN
One’s own perception of what looks good is the most important factor in providing patient satisfaction while beautifying the patient’s smile. Most of us know that we want our teeth to look extraordinarily shiny and natural, but we want them not to look ultra-white lined up next to each other.
In the smile design of modern dentistry, there is an opportunity to replace teeth from composite resins to porcelain veneers and crowns. There are very important links between differences in tooth size and arrangement in smile design and their relationship surrounding gums and other facial features that make up a smile. There are different levels of differences that can really help the dentist from an artistic point of view when making specific treatment recommendations.
.
WHAT SHOULD BE PAID ATTENTION TO?
Dentists should be very selective about issues such as tooth length, midlines (how teeth align with other facial features), and gum-lip distance.
The art of ”smile” lies in the ability of the dentist and the individual to integrate their personal perception of what is important and what they consider necessary for it to be aesthetically pleasing. The person who needs to incorporate the natural elements of dental anatomy and scientific knowledge into the smile design is a dentist as an artist.
Your dentist, who is professionally trained and looks with experienced eyes, will actually have more suggestions than you. Therefore, it is the dentist’s responsibility to inform you in order to make your own personal choices better. Nevertheless, we recommend that you try to fully express your expectations and understand the recommendations of your dentist in Antalya Turkey.

METHODS FOR VISUALIZING THE SMILE DESIGN PLAN
It is a method of smile design that is carried out for trial purposes to evaluate changes in size, shape, color, speech, bite function and more before the final changes are made. Computerized imaging is a great tool that allows you to visualize a potential change and show it.
A second way that the dentist can help us see ourselves before starting the design is to make a mock-up of the smile design with a candle in the recommended white tooth color. A third way is to create teeth with composite resin to change the shape, size and aesthetics of the tooth.
Another great tool in dentistry is “temporary restoration”. This has become a critical tool in testing understanding between the dentist and the patient. Temporary restoration gives you the opportunity to see if the proposed smile changes work for you and are compatible with gum health, phonetics (speech) and biting function. If the temporary restoration works, the results of the final restoration are guaranteed. The main difference between temporary and final restoration is the materials from they are made. The final porcelain is more durable and has a longer service life than plastics, which are usually used for temporary restorations.

QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELF
What do you like or dislike about the color, size, shape and muscle of your teeth? Are you satisfied with the appearance of your teeth when you smile? Do you want teeth that are perfectly aligned and look “Hollywood white”, or teeth that look more natural with slight differences in color, shape and tone? Are you satisfied with the ratio of gums that appear when smiling? The answers to these and other questions will help your dentist to understand your perceptions and vision and help him design the smile you dream about.

THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE SPECIALIST DENTIST
When the patient comes to the consultation for a smile design or treatment, the consultation appointment is subjected to a “traditional” assessment (graphic, periodontal (gum), occlusal (bite) and radiographic (X-ray).
The media image, which is shown in many commercials, has a very strong influence on modern dental treatment. Today’s smile design is becoming an increasing part of a youthful and dynamic look. There are two types of patient profiles in smile design. The first is the one who wants the perfect design, and the second is the one who demands a natural look.
Patients who fall into the category of ”perfect appearance” expect maximum regularity and harmony, typically combined with maximum brightness. In the art of giving a more natural look to the smile design, it is to make certain features invisible and certain features more visible. It is here that science and art meet in dentistry. Knowing what to change and what not to change in order to create a perception of reality is a very important concept not only for improving the smile, but also for the human body in general. No one’s dec sides are exactly the same, but if there are very obvious differences between the right and left sides, it can be uncomfortable.
.
CRITERIA FOR THE DESIGN OF THE IDEAL SMILE
In order to provide the ideal smile design, it is critical to provide a symmetrical smile to patients. That dec, if you draw a vertical line down the middle of the face, which we call the center line, this line will be directly between the front teeth, and around it the smile will look “balanced” from one side to the other. This also applies to the horizontal dimension, creating a regular smile line that matches the curvature of the lower lip. Now each type of tooth must be positioned to fit this frame, with symmetrical central incisors, lateral incisors and canines, as well as matching gum lines from one side to the other.
Those who want a more natural or subtle look, on the other hand, expect a definite “shine” along with a general regularity and harmony, but they don’t want their teeth to be noticed at every turn. In any pleasant smile, the symmetry of the teeth is located close to the midline, so the central incisors (the two upper front teeth) should be mostly symmetrical, with only minor irregularities.
The main “asymmetry”, to which individual characterizations can be added, can be provided between the lateral incisors, the teeth on either side of the two front decisors. Canine teeth will also provide minor asymmetry, since the edges of the gums (gum lines) and their spikes (points of the teeth) do not need to be horizontally straight. The depth of the incisor embryos (the way the teeth are sorted and shaped from the front to the back of the mouth) should be at a natural depth, as well as providing a natural progression.
When planning a color prescription, it should be aware that the most frequent discoloration of the front tooth is observed on the incisor third tooth (biting edge). These are the technical details that need to be communicated to the technician. It is very common to encounter patients who are not very satisfied with the dark appearance of their teeth, demanding a very monochrome (monochrome or completely white) look with high brightness. The decoupage prescription given to the dental technician, the cutting color effects are among the solutions that facilitate the natural appearance.
Communication between the patient, the Turkish dentist and the laboratory technician is critical for the best smile design that ensures patient satisfaction.
