Personal details matter: slightly asymmetric edges and natural translucency often look better than a perfect, identical set.
Personalised design matters most when you want a natural, age-appropriate result; if you are after the very white, uniform look, ask for the Hollywood smile design instead.
Personalised means the design starts from your face, not from a template of ideal proportions. Tooth width follows the width of your smile, length follows your lip line, and the shade is chosen next to your skin rather than against a white wall. Two patients asking for the same thing end up with different drawings.
Smile design is the planning step, not a treatment on its own. The dentist analyses your face, lips and teeth from photos and X-rays, then designs tooth shape, width, length and the smile line digitally. You see the result as a preview before any tooth is touched.
The design is then made into a mock-up and tried in your mouth for a few minutes, so you can judge it in the mirror and on your phone camera. Only when you approve it do we choose the least invasive way to build it: bonding where possible, veneers or crowns where not.

What can go wrong
Every treatment has risks. Here are the honest ones, and what we do about them.
Preview vs reality
The mock-up shows shape and length accurately; final colour and translucency depend on the material chosen. We show shade samples on your teeth too.
Over-design
A dramatic design can mean cutting healthy teeth. We flag when a design needs veneers or crowns and offer a more conservative version.
Aftercare and how long it lasts
- Keep the preview photos to compare after treatment
- Decide without pressure; the design stays on file
- Whitening first if you want a lighter shade before bonding
The design is a plan; its lifespan is that of the treatment built from it (bonding 5–8 years, veneers 10–15).
Questions patients ask
What makes a smile design personalised?
It starts from your face proportions, lip movement on video and your age; edges keep slight asymmetry and translucency instead of a template shape.
Can I bring my own ideas or photos?
Yes. Reference photos set the direction; the dentist shows which features suit you and which would look artificial.
Is personalised design more expensive?
No. Every design at Auradentis is personalised; the fee is quoted per case after your photos are reviewed and credited against treatment, and you receive a written price before you book.
What do you need from me to start?
Three photographs, front and both sides, with a natural smile, plus a short video of you talking. A recent X-ray helps but is not needed to begin.
Can the design match a photo of someone else's smile?
We can use it to understand what you like, but we will adapt the proportions to your face. Copying another person's teeth onto a different face is the most common reason a result looks wrong.
Is Digital Smile Design a treatment?
No. It is the planning and preview stage. The treatment is whatever builds the design: composite bonding, veneers, crowns, whitening or gum contouring.
Can I do the design remotely?
The analysis starts from your photos and video, and we can share a preliminary design before you fly. The photos and mock-up need one visit.
What does DSD cost in Turkey?
It is quoted per case at Auradentis and credited against any treatment you go ahead with; you receive the written price before you book.
Will it push me toward veneers?
The opposite: with the design in hand we choose the least invasive way to build it, which for most people is bonding.
