Transformation starts with the design page: no tooth is prepared until you have seen and approved the mock-up.
Transformation is the word for big change planned safely; if the change you want is small, the smile enhancement route with bonding alone is cheaper and faster.
Transformation is a marketing word for a sequence of ordinary treatments in the right order: anything unhealthy treated first, then whitening, then shape with composite or lab-made veneers, then a night guard to protect it. Skipping a step is what produces the results people later want undone.
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.

- –Severe crowding or bite problems: orthodontic assessment first
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 does a smile transformation involve?
Digital design first, then whatever builds it: bonding, veneers, whitening, gum contouring or aligners, in one written plan.
How long does a smile transformation take?
Two to seven days in Istanbul depending on whether bonding (days) or veneers (about a week) build the design.
How much does a smile transformation cost in Turkey?
It depends on whether bonding or veneers build the design, so it is quoted per case after your photos are reviewed; you receive a written price before you book.
How long does a full transformation take?
One visit of two to four hours if it is whitening and bonding. Two visits if veneers or crowns are involved. Several months only if implants are part of the plan.
What keeps the result looking new?
A night guard if you grind, a polish at each hygiene appointment, and keeping coffee, tea and smoking in check for the first two days after each treatment and in moderation afterwards.
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.
