Smile design: a personalised plan that considers tooth size, colour and alignment together with facial features.
Smile design is a personalised planning process that considers tooth size, colour, alignment and gum level together with your facial features. It can be carried out using methods such as porcelain veneers or zirconia crowns.
At Prime Istanbul Cerrahi, digital photography and examination precede a smile design plan. Our dental team works with you to agree on the look you are aiming for and recommends a suitable method.
The process may involve several visits, depending on the method used.

01Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin layers of porcelain bonded to the front surface of teeth, used to improve the appearance of tooth colour, shape and minor alignment. At Prime Istanbul Cerrahi, veneer treatment begins by assessing your tooth structure and expectations. A limited amount of preparation is made to the tooth surface, an impression is taken, and personalised veneers are then fabricated. Veneers can also be planned as part of a broader smile design process.

Zirconia crowns are a durable, natural-looking method of restoring a tooth. They can be considered for changing tooth colour, shape or size, or for restoring a damaged tooth. At Prime Istanbul Cerrahi, zirconia treatment begins with preparing the tooth surface and taking an impression. Personalised crowns can be fabricated with digital design support. Zirconia is also a material commonly used for prostheses fitted onto implants.
