Aesthetic Dentistry
Aesthetic dentistry is an important branch of dentistry that deals with the reorganization of the mouth and teeth in terms of health and aesthetics. Its main theme is a healthy smile design. Smile design is to renew the ideal smile specific to the person with health and naturalness. The important thing is to create the aesthetic smile expression that suits you within the framework of medical rules.
In addition to their main functions (chewing, speaking, etc.), our teeth also greatly affect our self-confidence in society in terms of aesthetics. Our smile is a very important factor in our communication with people. Discoloration and deformities in the teeth can cause problems that can even lead to psychological disorders in the individual. Studies have shown that an individual who is confident in their smile is much happier and more successful in their social, business and daily lives than other individuals.
Our teeth reflect our smile, and our smile reflects our energy. A beautiful smile means personal self-confidence. The branch of science that deals with this in dentistry is called ‘aesthetic dentistry’. The aesthetic dentist must first know his patient and perceive their expectations. It should not be forgotten that the treatment that should be applied to each individual is different. Here, many issues such as our patients' special tastes, socio-economic level, professional factors, etc. should be examined.
Then, physical factors come into play. The aesthetic dentist should design a smile that the patient will perceive as pleasant and attractive and correct the defective image. His aim is to create a set of teeth that is aesthetically acceptable and biologically compatible for the patient.
For this, if necessary, the preliminary examination should be very long, diagnostic models and photographs of the patient should be taken, and the expected result should be stated completely and clearly. Aesthetic dentistry is a very sensitive scientific study. Health should not be compromised in order to provide the ideal image.
Aesthetic surgeons and aesthetic dentists continue their work within certain medical rules. Below, we will tell you which factors are effective in aesthetic arrangement. There are certain angles and proportions in the mouth, face and head area. When treatment is performed according to these rules, it will be almost guaranteed to achieve an aesthetic image.
However, we would like to state that aesthetics is a relative concept and everyone's aesthetics may not match. For example, while I find person 'A' very beautiful, someone else may not find her beautiful at all. Therefore, understanding the patient's expectations is the most important criterion in aesthetic dentistry. As a result, the dentist will decide on the technique applied and the material used. Before starting the treatment, the quality of the material and its suitability for the patient should be determined.
A sound decision-making ability, a desire to improve technical skills and a constant effort to be informed about new products available should be combined with the most important feature your doctor should have: natural aesthetic perception and vision.
