Many patients who struggle with an underbite or crossbite believe that major jaw surgery is their only option. At Smile Dental Turkey, our expert prosthodontists, like Dr. Uğur Gültekinler, specialize in advanced “prosthetic camouflage” to correct complex bites using dental crowns with only a single visit to Antalya.
This is the case for Daniel D., who came to us with a severe underbite, crossbite, and general decay. This is the story of how Dr. Gültekinler completely rebuilt his bite and his smile in just a few days.
- Patient: Daniel D.
- Lead Prosthodontist: Uğur Gültekinler, D.D.S.
- Procedure: Full-Bite Correction with 26 “Smile High Translucency” Porcelain Dental Crowns, Gum Contouring & 4 Fillings
- Aesthetic Choice: Colour OM3, Softened Style
- Total Investment: £5,764.41
- Total Time: One Visit (approx. 5-6 days)
The Initial Consultation: The Problem
On his first day (June 16, 2025), Daniel D. presented with two major challenges:
- A Complex Bite: He had a visible underbite (lower teeth closing in front of the upper teeth) and a crossbite (misalignment of the side teeth).
- Cosmetic & Health Issues: He also had significant decay and was unhappy with the crowding and colour of his smile.
Before Photo: This image clearly shows the patient’s lower teeth closing in front of his uppers, confirming the underbite.
The initial X-ray confirmed his roots were healthy enough to support a prosthetic correction, making him an ideal candidate to fix his bite without surgery.
Initial OPG (X-ray) from 16/06/2025: This scan allowed Dr. Gültekinler to plan the new, ideal bite position.
The Treatment Plan: Correcting an Underbite with Dental Crowns
Dr. Uğur Gültekinler designed a brilliant plan to “camouflage” the underlying skeletal issue. The goal was not to move the jaw, but to rebuild the teeth to create a new, correct bite.
This was achieved by:
- Restoring Health: First, removing all decay and placing 4 white fillings.
- Balancing Gums: Performing gum contouring on the upper jaw to create a symmetrical foundation.
- Correcting the Bite: Expertly preparing and placing 26 new porcelain dental crowns.
- Upper Dental Crowns (13): Designed to be slightly longer and angled forward, bringing them out to sit over the bottom teeth.
- Lower Dental Crowns (13): Designed to be re-angled inward to sit behind the new upper teeth.
This advanced technique essentially builds a new, perfect bite prosthetically.
Patient Selections:
- Dental Crown Material: Smile High Translucency Porcelain
- Colour: OM3
- Shape: Softened Style
The Result: A New Bite and a New Smile
By June 18, 2025—just two days later—Daniel’s transformation was complete. The “After” X-ray shows the 26 new dental crowns, all perfectly aligned to create a new, functional, and aesthetically pleasing bite.
The Final Result: A healthy, balanced smile. The underbite and crossbite have been completely corrected.
Final OPG (X-ray) from 18/06/2025: This scan shows the 26 new dental crowns, all perfectly seated, holding the new, correct bite.

A Note from Uğur Gültekinler, D.D.S.
“This was a fantastic case. Daniel was unhappy with his underbite and crossbite but did not want to go through 1-2 years of braces and jaw surgery.
This is a perfect example of what we call ‘prosthetic orthodontics.’ By using a full set of 26 dental crowns, I was able to redesign his entire bite. We built out the upper arch and tucked in the lower arch, creating a perfect, stable overbite in just a few days. He now has a beautiful smile and, more importantly, a correct, healthy, and functional bite.”
