Premium materials, sculpted gums, and a balanced bite.

For​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ most people, a Hollywood Smile is not simply a matter of bright white teeth. It is a perfect blend of science and the arts. Every day, people go to Turkey with the intention of changing their appearance and enhancing their confidence.

Lema Dental Clinic is one of our trusted dental clinics in Turkey, where we have implemented highly effective dental solutions for a beautiful smile through the combination of careful planning and expert artistry. Here are our three secrets to turning typical dental work into a masterpiece.

1. Selecting the Appropriate Materials

Not all dental materials are created equal. You can’t just stick a solid white block onto a tooth. Your natural tooth enamel is like a glass window – it lets light through and reflects it. When we create a customized smile, we replicate this exact light interaction. 

Professor Doctor Coşkun Yıldız emphasizes that a perfect smile has a hint of translucency at its bottom edge. We do premium layered materials like E-max or clear zirconia. This technique allows us to create teeth that mimic the genuine ones. It’s like the difference between a cheap, basic shirt and a custom-made silk suit.

2. Shaping the Pink Gums

However, the white teeth are only half of the story. As the frame to your smile, your gums are very important. Hollywood smile‘s untold secret is reshaping.

Dentist Polen Akkılıç spends hours checking the highest point of your gum line with her team of dentists. With the help of soft dental lasers, they form this pink frame. We guarantee everything is perfectly even before we place a single veneer.

3. Planning a Safe Bite

So how do we design this splendid smile to last a lifetime? Simple – the smile will perish if the bite is not right. Think about a tall house built on a faulty foundation. We always do the bite adjustment before the final look.

Each new tooth at Lema Dental Clinic undergoes precise mathematical measurements. Jaw movements during chewing are recorded. This results in the bite force being distributed uniformly over the new teeth. It will prevent cracks, chips, and jaw pain years from now.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this take in Turkey?

Of course,e a Hollywood smile with custom veneers doesn’t happen overnight, but five to seven days is a perfect balance between work and having time to enjoy your trip. We use this time to plan, create, and fit your dream smile.

Will my new teeth look fake or bulky?

We take this very seriously. We add subtle, natural-like features to the surface of the new tooth. This makes it behave in the light exactly like the enamel of a natural tooth.

Does the treatment hurt?

You may be a bit nervous about it, which is only natural. But your safety is our priority. We use strong, modern anesthetics. Most patients just experience a little bit of pressure. You might have some pain sensitivity later on, but it is quite easily mitigated with standard analgesics.

Should I get E-max or Zirconia?

E-max is the way to go if you want the most realistic tooth. Front teeth may benefit from this type of restoration. Zirconia is less translucent but much stronger. You definitely should consider it if you are a teeth grinder or if back teeth healing was your problem. In most cases, we combine both materials to get the absolute optimum outcome for you.

How do I care for my new smile at home?

Handle your perfect smile with care and gentleness. Use a soft toothbrush and brush twice a day at least. Cleaning between your teeth is essential too – floss daily. If you tend to clench or grind your teeth, nighttime wearing of the custom night guard is a must. Seeing your dentist regularly is also very ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌important.
