Hollywood smile is a concept that emerged in the American film industry. It describes the harmony created by the alignment of magnificent, regular and white teeth. This regularity is provided orthodontically or with ceramic veneers. Whitening or using whiter veneers makes the teeth whiter. This harmony in terms of color and shape contributes positively to the increase in self-confidence and to a more comfortable smile.
The materials used routinely are zirconium crowns and emax crowns or laminates. Zirconium crowns contain zirconium oxide. Emax contains lithium disilicate. While we perform a peripheral tooth reduction in crowns, we perform abrasion from the front surface of the teeth in laminates or create the final tooth form directly without any reduction. When laminates are made, they cause less loss of tooth structure compared to crowns.
Porcelain veneers are prosthetic materials created by adding porcelain onto a metal substructure. The metal used as substructure provides durability to the prosthesis. We prefer it more in the posterior group of teeth where durability is important. Since its light transmittance is less than zirconium and emax material, emax and zirconium crowns are more aesthetic than porcelain veneers
Emax Crowns or Laminates have improved aesthetic properties compared to Zirconium material. They have a glass ceramic structure. They have low fracture resistance compared to Zirconium. We prefer them in single-unit crowns or laminate veneers. Natural tooth structure can be created almost exactly with the right materials and experienced hands. They are very successful materials in imitating nature.
Zirconium Crowns are crown materials with high light transmittance and improved durability with new technologies. In fact, they form the substructure skeleton in crowns and bridges. They contain zirconium oxide. They are used when crowning teeth or in crowns on implants. They are biocompatible materials. While a crown can be created with full zirconium, natural tooth effects can be worked on with porcelain, with the substructure being zirconium.
Hollywood smile aesthetics is a process that includes various dental treatments to achieve a healthy smile and aesthetic appearance. For the success of this aesthetics, it is very important to create healthy gums before the procedure and to solve any caries problems. In the first stage, the symmetry of the curves (zenith) on the right and left gums should be provided. This symmetry is usually achieved with minimal gum surgery.
Aesthetic problems in teeth may be related to the position, size, form and symmetry of the teeth. In addition, irregularities in the dental arch may also be observed. Depending on the mentioned dental problems, treatment methods such as teeth whitening, aesthetic filling, crown or emax may be preferred. While crowns surround the tooth; laminates are applied only to the front surface of the teeth. One of these procedures may be sufficient or more effective results can be obtained by using several together.
The results obtained may vary depending on the case. For example, in patients with gaps between their teeth, more aesthetic tooth contacts can be provided and these gaps can be closed. In people with irregular teeth, a more aesthetic form and color can be obtained. In addition, the size and length symmetry between the right and left teeth is provided and the incisors of the teeth are brought into harmony with the lower lip curve. These positive changes also positively affect the psychology of the patients; they increase their self-confidence and contribute to their smiles in a more comfortable and secure way.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks associated with a smile makeover. These may include sensitivity, potential allergic reactions to materials used, or complications related to the bonding process. However, these risks can be minimized by choosing an experienced and qualified dentist.
Turkey provides a very good level of education in universities in terms of medicine and dentistry. Naturally, there are very well-equipped dentists. The quality of the treatments provided is at a high level. And most importantly, the treatments are at very affordable prices. In other words, quality service is provided at affordable prices. Since the clinics work multidisciplinary, time planning for treatment is very important. It is at a good level. Time loss is minimized and the patient is provided with his teeth as soon as possible.
After the treatments, we call our patients for check-ups every 6 months to 1 year. During these check-ups, we check whether there are any problems with the prostheses. Routine checks are very important for the success and long-term use of the treatment. If necessary, we perform dental scaling and denture maintenance during the check-up sessions. Maintenance is for oral hygiene. It is very important.
After the treatment, we give patients recommendations on how to care for their teeth. These recommendations are; correct tooth brushing technique, use of interdental brush and dental floss, and use of oral irrigator. Doctor-patient cooperation in treatments is important for success. The successful treatment of the doctor must be completed by the patient with good care. In addition, the patient should not do situations such as biting hard objects or opening the cap of a bottle with his teeth, which will damage his dentures. .These movements may damage the teeth in the process. Oral care waters are successful in controlling plaque in the mouth. We also recommend their use.
Hollywood smile procedure is an aesthetic procedure. Under normal conditions, the procedure is completed within 1-2 weeks. However, aesthetic tastes vary from person to person. The patient may want the doctor to perform the procedure that he considers aesthetic in a different way. This may lead to a slightly longer time.
The Hollywood smile procedure is safe. The materials used are compatible with the body and supportive of the dental structures. Materials that imitate the dental structure in the best way make our job easier with the development of technology.
We use local anesthesia during the procedures. Therefore, it is not a painful procedure. It can be done safely.
We use materials that do not change color and have a strong structure in the treatments. However, it is the responsibility of the patient to ensure oral hygiene after the treatment is completed. Patients who take good care of their teeth and do not skip their dentist check-ups can use their teeth for a very long time.
Smile aesthetics can generally be performed on people who are dissatisfied with their smile. Dissatisfaction with their smile is mostly caused by not liking the color, tooth gaps, crowding problems, interface discoloration and caries problems, and not liking the tooth form. It can be applied to patients who want to have a more confident smile due to the mentioned problems. In patients with severe jaw closing problems, we recommend jaw surgery and orthodontic treatment as the first step.
The price of this procedure varies depending on the type of treatment performed and how many teeth are treated. The more teeth are treated, the more the price increases. But it is generally between 4000 dollars - 12000 dollars.
