Digital Smile Design is not a marketing term at this clinic. It is a process — photography, 3D scan, wax-up mock-up — that gives you a physical preview of the outcome, fitted onto your own teeth, before any preparation begins. If you do not like it, nothing has been done.

The “Turkey Teeth” problem is not that the porcelain is bad. It is that healthy natural tooth structure is ground down to stumps to accommodate bright, oversized veneers. That is not smile design. That is cosmetic over-reach.
Our work begins with the opposite question: how much of your enamel can we preserve? Minimal-prep, additive-where-possible, and — if the honest answer is that you do not need treatment at all — we will tell you.
High-resolution portraits, intra-oral photography, and a 3D intra-oral scan. The starting point of the design — not the hero shot for marketing.
Proposed tooth shape, proportion and shade drawn against your face. Reviewed together. Revised until the design is something you actually want.
The proposed design fabricated in temporary composite and fitted onto your existing teeth. You leave the clinic wearing the preview. You can speak, smile, eat with it. If it is wrong, we revise — before preparation.
Minimal-prep, typically 0.3–0.5 mm. e.max Press or layered feldspathic. Bonded and finished across two to three sessions in the same week.
Lithium-disilicate ceramic. Our default for 90% of veneer cases — strength and aesthetics in one material. Bonded onto minimal-prep preparations.
Traditional porcelain, layered by hand. Chosen for anterior cases where translucency and light play matter most. More time at the bench, more control over subtleties.
Only where strength requirements demand it — typically posterior bridging. Not a default for anterior aesthetics; translucency is too limited.

Next step
Every patient leaves GC Clinic with a written warranty, a complete records pack in PDF for any UK dentist, and a structured WhatsApp follow-up schedule (24h · 72h · 1 week · 1 month · 3 months · 6 months · 12 months). Annual video review with Dr. Öztürk is standard. If a covered complication occurs in the warranty period, our “we fly you back” clause — written in your treatment agreement, not a marketing phrase — covers the return flight, hotel and corrective treatment.
◆ Aftercare · what happens when you fly home
The digital wax-up, the mock-up you try in your mouth before any preparation, and the definitive restorations are all produced in our in-house lab. The wax-up is the contract — and it stays on the same case file from design to seat.
