Smile design is a personal aesthetic plan that looks at the shape, shade, length and alignment of your teeth together with your face, lips and gums. The aim is a smile that looks natural and feels like yours.
The brighter, even look often called a “Hollywood smile” can be part of this plan. Which methods are suitable is decided after your oral health and expectations have been assessed at the examination.
Concerns about shade, shape, gaps or chipped teeth
Methods
Whitening, veneers, zirconia, E-max
First step
Examination and smile analysis
What does smile design look at?
How your teeth relate to your face and lip line
Tooth length, width and proportions
Natural-looking shade and translucency
Gum level and appearance
Your bite and chewing pattern
Existing fillings, crowns and decay
Which treatments can be used?
Smile design is a plan rather than a single procedure. Depending on your needs, these treatments may be used alone or together:
Teeth whitening: to lighten natural teeth
Porcelain veneers: for shade and shape on the front teeth
Zirconia or E-max crowns: for teeth that are heavily restored or need strengthening
Dental implants: to replace missing teeth
Fillings and root canal treatment: a healthy base before cosmetic work

Coming from abroad
Before you travel, you can share current photos of your smile and any X-rays on WhatsApp. This gives you initial information; the final plan, duration and cost are confirmed after the examination in Izmir. Plans that include veneers or crowns need more than one visit, so we plan the length of your stay together.
A Hollywood smile usually means a very white, even look. Smile design is the broader process of planning whether that look suits your face; more natural shades can also be chosen.
How long does smile design take?
It depends on the methods used. Whitening alone can be quick, while plans with veneers or crowns need several appointments. The exact time is set after the examination.
Will my teeth be filed down?
That depends on the method. Whitening needs no preparation; veneers usually need limited preparation and crowns more. The most conservative suitable option is preferred.
How much does smile design cost in Turkey?
The cost depends on the number of teeth, the material and your oral health. You receive a personal plan and price after the examination; message us on WhatsApp for initial information.
