AestheticSmile Design in Istanbul
Smile Design
Smile design is a planning process rather than a treatment in itself. It considers the face, lips, gums and teeth together, so that any aesthetic treatment is guided by proportion, function and your own preferences. The result is a smile designed to suit your face and personality.

01About the treatment
What is it?
At Uslu Dental Clinic, smile design is a careful analysis and planning process that comes before treatment, with the aim of reaching the most suitable and natural result for you.
Smile design uses photographs, digital planning and, where appropriate, a trial mock-up to plan the shape and proportions of your smile before treatment begins, so that you can preview the proposed changes in advance.
02Suitability
When might it be considered?
Smile design is useful when changes to several teeth are being considered, or when it is unclear which treatment would best address your concerns.
