Aesthetic Smile Rehabilitation with Digital Smile Design and Glass-Ceramic Porcelain Crowns

Treatment began on December 15, 2025, and was completed on January 12, 2026. Final treatment photographs were taken on January 27, 2026.

The patient presented to our clinic with aesthetic concerns related to dental crowding and discoloration. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed tooth wear (abrasion), decay, and misalignment affecting 11 teeth in the upper jaw and 6 teeth in the lower jaw. Porcelain crown restorations were planned to address aesthetic irregularities in the anterior region and improve tooth alignment.

The treatment process began with intraoral and facial photographs, followed by digital impressions obtained using an intraoral scanner. A personalized digital smile design was then created. Following tooth preparation, the proposed smile design was transferred to the patient's mouth through temporary restorations on the same day.

Glass-ceramic porcelain crowns were selected for the final restorations based on the patient's aesthetic and functional requirements. Particular attention was given to the natural shape of the teeth, shade harmony, occlusal relationships, and overall integration with facial aesthetics.

Upon completion of treatment, the aesthetic irregularities were addressed, achieving an aesthetic and functional rehabilitation that improved the patient's smile appearance and supported chewing function.

Treatment began on November 28, 2022, and was completed on December 17, 2022. Final treatment photographs were taken on December 19, 2022.

The patient presented to our clinic with aesthetic concerns related to tooth wear and discoloration. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed abrasion and erosion affecting 10 teeth in the upper jaw and 10 teeth in the lower jaw. Additionally, tooth grinding (bruxism) had caused wear on the occlusal surfaces and a loss of vertical dimension.

A comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation was planned to restore the patient's lost vertical dimension and address their aesthetic concerns. Porcelain onlay restorations were selected for the lower molars to increase the occlusal height, while porcelain veneers were planned to correct aesthetic irregularities in the anterior region.

The treatment process began with intraoral and facial photographs, followed by digital impressions obtained using an intraoral scanner. A personalized digital smile design was then created. Following tooth preparation, the proposed smile design was transferred to the patient's mouth through temporary restorations on the same day.

Glass-ceramic porcelain veneers and onlays were used for the final restorations. Particular attention was given to the natural shape of the teeth, shade harmony, occlusal relationships, and the newly established vertical dimension.

Upon completion of treatment, the patient's lost vertical dimension was restored, aesthetic irregularities were addressed, and an aesthetic and functional rehabilitation supporting chewing function was achieved.

Intraoral and facial photographs were then taken, digital impressions were obtained, and a personalized digital smile design was created.

As part of the prosthetic rehabilitation, a zirconia bridge was placed in the upper right posterior region, while zirconia crowns were applied to the premolar region. Six glass-ceramic porcelain veneers were selected to address aesthetic irregularities in the anterior region.

Aesthetic Smile Rehabilitation with Teeth Whitening, Digital Smile Design, Glass-Ceramic Crown and Porcelain Veneers

Treatment began on April 21, 2025, and was completed on May 14, 2025. Final treatment photographs were taken on May 21, 2025.

The patient presented to our clinic with aesthetic concerns regarding the gap between the two upper front teeth. Having previously undergone orthodontic treatment, the patient preferred to continue treatment with prosthetic restorations. Following a clinical evaluation, a treatment plan involving the four upper front teeth was developed to achieve aesthetic harmony and a balanced smile.

The treatment process began with teeth whitening applied to all teeth. Photographs and digital impressions were then taken, and a personalized digital smile design was created.

During the evaluation, it was determined that tooth number 11, which was positioned further outward than the adjacent teeth, required a crown, while porcelain veneers were considered appropriate for the other three upper front teeth. Following tooth preparation, digital impressions were obtained and the restorations were fabricated.

Glass-ceramic material was selected for the final restorations. Treatment was completed with one glass-ceramic crown and three glass-ceramic porcelain veneers in the upper anterior region. Particular attention was given to the natural shape of the teeth, shade harmony, and overall smile aesthetics.

Upon completion of treatment, the aesthetic irregularity between the two front teeth was addressed. The restorations were designed to harmonize with the surrounding teeth in both shape and shade, resulting in a natural-looking and aesthetically balanced smile.

Full Upper Jaw Rehabilitation with All-on-6 Implant Treatment and Screw-Retained Monolithic Zirconia Prosthesis

Treatment began on April 12, 2023, and was completed on August 18, 2023. Final treatment photographs were taken on August 22, 2023.

The patient presented to our clinic with complaints of loose teeth and difficulty chewing. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed bone and gum tissue loss associated with periodontal disease affecting all teeth in the upper jaw, resulting in tooth mobility. Following a surgical consultation, extraction of the remaining upper teeth, All-on-6 implant treatment, and full upper jaw rehabilitation with a one-piece zirconia prosthesis were planned.

During the initial stage of treatment, all remaining upper teeth were extracted on the same day, and six dental implants were placed during the same surgical session. Following surgery, digital impressions were obtained to fabricate a temporary fixed prosthesis. Two days later, the temporary fixed prosthesis was fitted, followed by an approximately three-month healing period to allow the implants to integrate with the surrounding bone.

Once the healing period was completed, new digital impressions were taken and the necessary prosthetic try-ins were performed. Treatment was finalized with the placement of a screw-retained, fixed, one-piece monolithic zirconia prosthesis, designed according to the patient's oral anatomy, occlusal relationships, and aesthetic requirements.

Throughout the treatment process, the patient remained without a prosthesis for only two days. The temporary fixed prosthesis supported the patient's aesthetic and functional needs during the implant healing period. Upon completion of treatment, the missing upper teeth were rehabilitated, restoring chewing function and improving smile aesthetics.
