You've seen the headlines and the social media posts: the term "Turkey Teeth" has become a byword for dental treatments gone wrong. It often conjures images of overly-white, bulky, and unnatural-looking veneers.
As an aesthetic and cosmetic specialist in Istanbul, this trend is deeply concerning. It misrepresents the high-level, bespoke aesthetic dentistry that clinics like ours practise every day.
Let's separate the myth from reality. A 'bad' smile makeover is not a geographical problem; it's a quality and philosophy problem.
What is "Digital Smile Design"?
The "Turkey Teeth" look often comes from a "one-size-fits-all" approach, where a patient is given a standard set of veneers without considering their unique facial features, age, or personality.
At BravoDent, we do the exact opposite. Our process is built on Digital Smile Design.
- It's Personalised: We take high-resolution photos and videos of you talking and smiling.
- It's Collaborative: We use advanced software to design your new smile with you. You get to preview and approve the shape, size, and shade of your teeth before any treatment begins.
- It's Proportional: Our Aesthetic Specialist, Dr. Hande Alpay Yavuz DDS. PhD., is an expert in facial aesthetics. The goal is to create a smile that is in perfect harmony with your face, not a smile that 'wears' you.
The Right Material: Emax vs. Zirconium
The material is just as important as the design. We use premium materials like Emax and Zirconium.
Emax veneers, for example, are renowned for their high translucency. This means they mimic the natural, light-reflecting properties of real tooth enamel, resulting in a vibrant, natural look, not a flat, "fake" white.
Conclusion: A Bespoke Smile, Not "Turkey Teeth"
A smile makeover should be a transformative, confidence-boosting experience. It should result in a smile that is uniquely yours and looks completely natural.
Don't settle for a "one-size-fits-all" solution. Choose a specialist-led clinic that prioritises personalised, aesthetic results.
