What is Aesthetic Dentist?

It is based on personal perception to a greater extent than in any other field of dentistry. The dentist factor is often the most important factor in success. Having a scientifically superior knowledge is not always enough on its own, in some cases the experience of the dentist is also important.

Aesthetic Dentist Like A Designer; Just as an architect considers various perspectives when designing a building, the aesthetic dentist should focus not only on function and form, but also on the patient's personality traits, gender, occupation and even lifestyle. An individual's smile is a reflection of personality. It is therefore important to communicate with the patient in terms of all aspects of treatment. Excellence has been characterized as 'having high or exceptionally good traits or skills'. While the aesthetic dentist strives for perfection, he aims for perfection as a result of treatment. As a result, the dentist will decide on the technique applied and the material used. Before starting the treatment, the quality of the material and its suitability for the patient are determined. If the design is successful, the teeth should not be a 'whiter-than-white' color or have an excessive length that can be seen from miles away.
