Rayan’s Main Problem: Damaged Front Teeth and Loss of Confidence
Rayan speaks very directly about how he felt before treatment:
“My teeth were in a catastrophic condition. I couldn’t laugh normally.”
The most visible problem was concentrated around the smile itself. Broken and cracked front teeth had affected the way his teeth looked when he spoke or laughed, and that had gradually reduced his confidence.
His case also involved more than the front teeth alone.
His dental assessment showed several missing posterior teeth in both jaws, which meant the treatment could not be planned as a simple cosmetic correction of the front smile.
The treatment therefore had to consider two things at the same time:
- rebuilding the visible smile
- restoring areas where teeth were missing or required additional dental care
This made Rayan’s case a restorative smile makeover rather than a purely cosmetic one.
Why He Decided to Come to Mira Clinic
Rayan already had a personal reference before making his decision.
His mother had previously received dental treatment at Mira Clinic, and he says he liked the result she had achieved.
That experience gave him confidence to consider the clinic for his own teeth.
In his words, once he saw his mother’s result, he “didn’t think twice” before deciding to come to Istanbul.
For Rayan, the decision was therefore not based only on advertising or online images. He had already seen the outcome of treatment on someone close to him.
His Treatment Plan: Zirconium Crowns, a Dental Bridge, Extraction, and Root Canal Treatment
Rayan’s treatment was planned as a combination of restorative procedures rather than using the same approach on every tooth.
His treatment included:
- 18 zirconium crowns
- a three-unit dental bridge
- one extraction
- additional root canal treatment
- panoramic X-ray and CBCT imaging before treatment
This is an important part of his case.
Although Rayan describes his treatment in the testimonial as having work completed across around 22 teeth, the clinical treatment itself involved different restorative elements serving different purposes.
The crowns rebuilt a large part of the visible smile, while the bridge addressed a missing-tooth area. The extraction removed a tooth that could not remain within the final plan, and root canal treatment was included where additional internal tooth treatment was needed.
Why a Bridge Was Used for a Missing-Tooth Area
Rayan’s dental status showed several missing teeth, including a gap in the lower jaw.
One area was planned with a three-unit bridge.
A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth by connecting the restoration to neighboring supporting teeth. In Rayan’s case, this allowed one of the missing-tooth areas to be restored as part of the broader smile reconstruction.
This also shows why his treatment should not be described simply as “22 crowns.”
His final result was created through a combination of different procedures, each selected for a specific part of the mouth.
18 Zirconium Crowns to Rebuild the Smile
The largest part of Rayan’s treatment consisted of 18 zirconium crowns placed across the upper and lower smile.
These crowns formed the main aesthetic and restorative element of his transformation.
The objective was not only to make the teeth appear brighter. The crowns were used to rebuild the shape and appearance of teeth that had affected the way he felt about his smile.
For someone whose main complaint was that he could no longer laugh comfortably, improving the visible proportions and continuity of the smile became a major part of the treatment.
Treating More Than Appearance Alone
Rayan’s case also included an extraction and root canal treatment.
These procedures show that the treatment was not limited to covering the teeth with crowns.
Before the final restorations could be completed, the dental problems underneath also needed to be managed.
This distinction matters because patients with visibly damaged teeth may initially focus only on the appearance. Once the mouth is examined, however, the dentist may identify teeth that need extraction, endodontic treatment, or replacement before the aesthetic work can be completed properly.
For Rayan, these clinical steps became part of preparing the mouth for the final smile.
His Biggest Concern Before Seeing the Result
Despite choosing the clinic confidently, Rayan admits that he still had one major fear:
Would the final result suit his face?
He explains that he was worried the new teeth might not look right with his facial appearance.
That concern is common in larger crown cases.
When many visible teeth are being restored at the same time, patients do not only worry about whether the teeth will be white or straight. They also want to know whether the new smile will look natural in relation to:
- their face
- lips
- smile width
- facial proportions
- overall appearance when speaking and laughing
Rayan says that once he saw the result, that fear disappeared.
From “I Couldn’t Laugh Normally” to “I Can Laugh Whenever I Want”
The clearest measure of Rayan’s satisfaction is the difference between the beginning and end of his testimonial.
Before treatment, he says:
“I couldn’t laugh normally.”
After completing the restoration, he says:
“Now I can laugh whenever I want and wherever I want.”
That contrast captures the real outcome of the treatment.
The crowns and bridge changed the teeth physically, but the effect Rayan emphasizes most is the freedom to smile and laugh without thinking about the condition of his teeth.
Before and After Rayan’s Dental Treatment
Before Treatment
Rayan’s starting situation included:
- visibly damaged front teeth
- fractures and cracks affecting the smile
- several missing posterior teeth
- difficulty feeling comfortable when laughing
- concern about how extensive restorative treatment would look on his face
Treatment
His restorative treatment included:
- panoramic X-ray and CBCT
- one extraction
- root canal treatment

- a three-unit dental bridge
After Treatment
After completing the restoration, Rayan describes:
- a more complete and balanced smile
- restored missing-tooth areas included in the treatment
- improved appearance of the damaged teeth

The result addressed both the physical condition of his teeth and the confidence problem that had brought him to treatment in the first place.

A Result That Felt Natural to Him
Rayan says that he was initially afraid the final smile might not suit his face.
But once the treatment was finished, he describes the result as beautiful and says he was very happy with it.
That satisfaction is particularly important in a case involving extensive crown work.
A technically complete restoration is not enough if the patient feels the new smile looks disconnected from their appearance.
For Rayan, the result felt right enough that he could finally laugh naturally again.
Rayan’s Recommendation After Treatment
At the end of his testimonial, Rayan gives a direct recommendation to anyone thinking about restoring their teeth.
He says:
"people should not hesitate and describes the experience as comfortable and professional"
His recommendation comes from someone who started with visibly damaged teeth, missing posterior teeth, and enough embarrassment about his smile that laughing naturally had become difficult.
After completing the restorative treatment, that concern was gone.
Final Perspective
Rayan Sabri came from Morocco to Mira Clinic in Istanbul because the condition of his teeth had begun to affect something very basic: his ability to laugh comfortably.
His case involved damaged front teeth together with missing posterior teeth, so the solution required more than a simple cosmetic makeover.
The treatment combined 18 zirconium crowns, a three-unit dental bridge, extraction, and root canal treatment, allowing both the visible smile and specific restorative problems to be addressed within one plan.
Rayan admits that he initially worried the final teeth might not suit his face. But after seeing the completed result, his reaction was the opposite.
The most meaningful change is captured in his own words:
“Now I can laugh whenever I want.”
For Rayan, that was the real result of the treatment — not simply new crowns, but a smile he no longer felt the need to hide.
