The person’s face, mouth and teeth structure, and smile are analyzed and evaluated holistically, and as a result, the new form and color of the laminae suitable for the face are decided. After the necessary abrasions are made from the teeth for the new smile to be created, the laboratory stage is started by taking impressions from the patient. At this stage, temporary teeth and sample models are created. The patient’s ideal aesthetic expectation is re-evaluated through these models and the final form of the teeth to be made is created with the coordination of the patient and the physician.
