In Which Situations Are Aesthetic Dentistry Applications Performed?
The facial area has an important role in the aesthetic appearance of the person. In the face area, the mouth area comes to the fore, especially during speaking, laughing and eating. Healthy, straight and white teeth, healthy and correctly leveled gums are the basic conditions for having a more aesthetic looking face.
In cases where these criteria are not met, the person may feel the need to hide their teeth and gums by closing their mouth while speaking or laughing. Some people may even face situations such as isolation from social life as a result of dissatisfaction with the appearance of their teeth and gums. Aesthetic dentistry applications come into play at this stage and ensure that the necessary treatments are performed on the teeth and gums and that the aesthetically desired appearance is achieved.
Personal Expectations are Important in Aesthetic Dentistry
In order to obtain the most effective and natural results from aesthetic dentistry applications, the basic rule is that the planning should be made specifically for the needs of the patient. The patient’s expectations must also be evaluated at this stage. Although many people demand applications that will enable them to have the appearance they see and like in someone else, dentists should inform their patients in this regard and guide them in the most accurate way.
When planning aesthetic dentistry applications, care should be taken to achieve the appearance that will best suit the patient’s face. Rather than focusing on achieving the beauty standards accepted by the society, the focus should be on achieving an aesthetic, natural and harmonious appearance with the facial features and gender of the person as a result of individualized planning.
