The UK Smiles™ Design Studio (Digital Smile Design in Turkey)
At UK Smiles, our Smile Design Studio blends artistry and technology to plan your new smile before treatment begins. With Digital Smile Design (DSD), our dentists design your ideal tooth shape, size and colour on screen — so you can approve the look and try it in before we craft your veneers, crowns or implants.
What is Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a planning system that maps your facial features, bite and gum line to create a
precise, natural-looking smile. Using high-res photos, scans and 3D software, our
dentist smile design team builds a personalised blueprint for your treatment — perfect for
cosmetic dentistry in Turkey.
Why patients love DSD:
- Visualise results before treatment
- Natural proportions tailored to your face
- Fewer surprises, more confidence
- Precise communication between dentist, smile lab, and you
Digital Smile Design vs Traditional Planning
| Feature | Digital Smile Design | Traditional Planning |
|---|---|---|
| Preview results | Yes – photo/3D mock-ups | Limited/none |
| Accuracy | Face-driven, proportion-based | Dentist’s visual estimate |
| Revisions | Easy to tweak digitally | Harder, often after prep |
| Lab communication | Shared digital file & specs | Paper notes/stone models |
| Confidence | High – you approve first | Lower – result revealed later |
Shades, Style & Design
Designing a smile isn’t just “white vs whiter.” In our Smile Design Studio, we tailor shade, translucency, texture, and tooth shape so your veneers/crowns look authentically you — from a subtle natural refresh to a brighter Hollywood look.
Shade selection
We use professional shade guides (e.g., VITA A1–D4 and bleach shades BL1–BL4) and match to your skin tone, lip line, and eye whites for harmony.
- Natural: A1–A2 (fresh, believable brightness)
- Balanced: A1/BL4 (clean, camera-friendly, still natural)
- Hollywood: BL1–BL2 (high brightness, red-carpet sheen)
Translucency & effects
Real enamel isn’t flat. We simulate:
- Incisal translucency (subtle glassiness at the edges)
- Opalescence & halo (the soft glow you see in youthful teeth)
- Mamelons (very fine internal contours at the edge, optional)
- Higher translucency = more natural depth. Lower translucency = higher “porcelain gloss” and brightness.
Surface texture & finish
Texture changes light and realism:
- Micro-texture + satin gloss → ultra natural, hides minor wear marks
- High polish mirror finish → crisp, glam, “Hollywood” feel
- Softened line angles → a gentler, youthful look
Style presets
- Natural — A1–A2 shade, medium translucency, micro-texture, softened edges
- Balanced — A1/BL4 shade, medium-low translucency, subtle texture, smooth edges
- Hollywood
— BL1–BL2 shade, lower translucency, high-polish finish, symmetrical edges
