In previous years, it was not known exactly what the teeth would look like before prosthetic restorations were made. Therefore, it was difficult to meet the expectations. Recently, thanks to the mock-up technique, patients have the advantage of learning exactly how their teeth will look. The teeth prepared before the treatment can be seen one-to-one with the mock-up method, and it is possible for the patients to experience it by wearing the rehearsal teeth.
The mock-up application used in smile design creates an opinion about the treatment result in the first stage of the treatment. Thanks to the mock-up, which allows the person to see the smile as a preliminary design, the desired results are obtained in terms of both cost and satisfaction.
Mock-up Preparation and Application
If we come to the question of how to do a mock-up, we can say that it should be done during the rehearsals when applying lamina or porcelain teeth. Laboratory procedures are completed after the patient's teeth are measured while preparing the mock-up tooth. After this, the teeth from the laboratory are placed on the patient's teeth, and their fit and aesthetic problems are examined. It is sent back to the lab for modification.
The teeth that come from the laboratory as modified are first rehearsed once more and become the patient's favourite. Patients who are curious about their new teeth and their images can see the finished teeth in the mouth before starting the treatment, thanks to the mock-up application.
Mock-up teeth, prepared from a hard plastic material, are applied temporarily on the patient's teeth. Attention is paid to things such as the distance between the corners of the lips of the patient, the width of vibrissa and lip thickness. Patients can practice speaking with mock-up, take their own photos, and use their teeth for a few hours if they wish.
How Does The Process Progress After The Smile Design Is Approved?
After mock-up is done for smile design, rehearsal teeth are replaced by permanent teeth. New teeth are prepared using materials that can imitate ivory well and are compatible with the patient's own tooth colour. At this stage; preples laminas, porcelain lamina veneers or zirconium teeth are used. Among these alternatives, the most suitable one is preferred.
Mock-up tooth prices are determined according to the scope of the treatment, the number of teeth to be designed, the materials to be used and whether the patient needs other dental treatments. To get better information, you can make an appointment with your dentist and meet mock-up technology.

Well I have just visited and had my first phase of treatment,throughout the process ,I have been in contact with Arina who has guided me throughout the process ,with prices,hotels,transfers and any questions I needed answering ,I came off the plane and my transfer was waiting for me to take me to hotel,I stayed at the La Marge,a lovely hotel and the staff couldn’t have done anymore,very friendly and always helpful,day 1 I was picked up in the morning by the transport and met by the lovely Anya who put me at ease straight away,day 1 is exhausting but getting most of it all done is the best way,I left there sore and a bit swollen,but had all the antibiotics,painkillers,mouthwash,ice packs to help,personally I went back straight to sleep and woke up in the morning,it was a lot better,all the staff at Tulay are first class,the cleanliness and professional manner in which they all shown was amazing,i want to thank them all and see you in September for Phase 2
I must say that the whole process is completely digital. First, they take your 3D jaw tomography and explain everything in detail, you get all the info about the process before your treatment. For mouth impressions, they use a 3D scanner which is one of the best ones (believe me I researched a lot about these things while choosing a clinic). They also have their own lab and your crowns are done there, that’s why everything s done super fast! I enjoyed my experience at Akkol Dental
Big shoutout to Anya! As a foreigner, communication is key, and Anya made everything clear and easy, she explained the process from start to finish and I felt safe at this place. Doctor Adnan did my crowns and the result was fantastic!

I came to Antalya to get zirconia crowns, and I’m beyond happy with the results! Coordinator Arina was incredibly helpful from start to finish, she explained every step of the process, helped me with transportation, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Rifat is a true artist, he carefully designed my new smile, and my crowns look very natural and beautiful. The procedure was painless, and the clinic’s technology is top-notch. Now I can smile with confidence again! Highly recommended

Where do I start? I would like to extend my gratitude to Arina and all the crew at Tulay Akkol dental centre. Arina was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process and really excelled in great customer service. From the moment I arrived in Turkey with my family the transfer to the hotel was smooth and stress free. The hotel we stayed in was fantastic and the staff there were lovely. I personally would like to thank the dentist for excellent work and for being very patient and understanding. I can't speak highly off Tulay Akkol and the fantastic treatment I received for my smile makeover. Arina, you are a star and thank you for everything.
