SMILE DESIGN

Our Approach to Smile Design

Smile design, for us, is never limited to changing the colour or shape of teeth alone. Any intervention carried out without considering facial proportions, lip dynamics, gingival levels, and functional balance will inevitably lead to short-term aesthetic results. At Holistic Smile Clinic, smile design begins not with the teeth, but with the face as a whole.

Every planning process is built upon precise digital measurements, detailed analysis, and truly personalised assessment. Our objective is not an immediately noticeable transformation, but a smile that remains natural over time, integrates seamlessly with facial features, and functions in harmony with the oral system. This approach allows aesthetic expectations and long-term oral health to progress together, without compromise.

Restorative solutions such as veneers and zirconia crowns achieve their true value only when applied with correct indication and within a comprehensive treatment plan. Our smile design philosophy does not treat these solutions as standalone procedures, but as integral components of a balanced, predictable, and sustainable outcome.

VENEERS

Within the scope of smile design, veneers represent one of the most refined and controlled aesthetic treatments. When applied in the right cases, they allow natural form, colour harmony, and facial balance to be restored with minimal intervention to the tooth structure. However, meaningful and lasting results can only be achieved when aesthetic expectations are evaluated together with dental anatomy, occlusal relationships, and functional balance.

At Holistic Smile Clinic, veneer planning is never approached as a solution suitable for everyone. Applications carried out without a detailed assessment of enamel thickness, tooth alignment, oral habits, and chewing forces may lead to aesthetic and biological risks over time. For this reason, each case is evaluated based on principles of minimal preparation and reversible, conservative treatment approaches.

The objective is not to force the teeth into a standardised appearance, but to enhance aesthetics while preserving the individual’s natural smile. When applied with correct indication and controlled planning, veneers become one of the most natural and balanced components of the smile design process.

ZIRCONIA CROWNS

Zirconia crowns are among the advanced restorative solutions used within smile design when aesthetic expectations must be carefully balanced with functional demands. They are particularly suitable for teeth exposed to high chewing forces, structurally compromised teeth, or cases requiring comprehensive restoration, offering long-term stability and durability.

At Holistic Smile Clinic, zirconia crown planning is not based on appearance alone. Occlusal relationships, masticatory balance, gingival harmony, and biological tolerance are evaluated together to establish a treatment approach tailored to each individual. This ensures that restorations remain sustainable not only from an aesthetic perspective, but also functionally and biologically.

The objective is not to alter the natural appearance of the teeth, but to create restorations that preserve natural form, facial harmony, and chewing function over the long term. When applied with correct indication and controlled planning, zirconia crowns become reliable and enduring structural components of the smile design process.
