Smile Design (Hollywood Smile)
In an age when aesthetics comes to the fore in every field, smile design is performed to create a more aesthetic, natural and personalised smile for patients. It is a treatment that varies from person to person, using teeth made of natural-looking materials such as Laminate, Veneer, Glass Ceramic, E-Max, Zirconium and Metal-Fused Porcelain. It should also be remembered that dentist and patient move forward together in an exchange of ideas.
