One of the prominent treatment methods within the scope of aesthetic dentistry is teeth bonding. This treatment, which is used to repair small-scale deformities or tiny fractures caused by impact, especially in patients with small gaps between their teeth, is often preferred because it is simple and effective. It is a treatment applied by placing the composite filling material to the needed area without any removal on the tooth enamel. According to the needs of the patient, an appropriate colour of bonding material is determined by considering the natural colour of the tooth in the area where the procedure will be applied. This procedure, which is mostly completed in a single session, may differ from patient to patient and additional sessions may be needed. With its long-lasting use, the teeth bonding method has been a frequently used method among dental treatments.

Dental bridges are a treatment method used to fill the gaps that occur due to tooth loss or missing teeth. Missing teeth, especially on the upper jaw, are eliminated with a dental bridge, and patients regain their oral and dental functions. Dental bridges are formed with two or more crowns. The materials used in this application include gold, ceramics, porcelain and alloy. Missing teeth cause patients to have aesthetic concerns and also reduce the quality of life by impairing chewing functions. Thanks to dental bridges, you can have a confident smile and a better chewing functionality. Types of dental bridges include i.a. traditional dental bridges, dental cantilever bridges, implant-supported bridges and Maryland anchored bridges. The most preferred one among dental bridge types mentioned above is the traditional bridge as it is more common and durable.

A dental implant application is an application that will be made individually for you after a correct diagnosis that you will have in reliable dental clinics and a treatment planning to be agreed with your dentist. Dental implant treatment is a process of surgically placing screw-shaped titanium parts in the jawbone. Since it is a serious and gradual process, the jawbone and gingiva must be carefully examined by the dentist before the operation. The oral and dental structure of the patient plays a decisive role in this treatment. In cases where patients have sensitive gums, a more detailed and different application may require. Before planning a dental implant treatment, the patient’s chin x-ray films should be taken. Then, the height, width and bone density of the jawbone are evaluated in detail through the 3D dental tomography, and subsequently, it is decided what kind of treatment should be done. For the success of dental implant treatment, it is important to implement all the pre-treatment steps with care and due diligence. The gingiva, which forms the soft tissue in the mouth, plays an important role in the success of dental implant treatment. In patients with healthy gums, dental implant treatment is easy and the success rate is higher. Gingiva differs from patient to patient in terms of thickness and form. If the dental specialist makes the treatment planning by considering the gingival form and thickness of the patient, the treatment will result in a high rate of success. Dental implants are the healthiest treatment method for people who have problems due to lack of teeth and whose life comfort has decreased considerably. After the treatment, people regain their former comfort. Eating safely, laughing and talking as desired allow the patients to recover their lost self-confidence and discomfort in a short time. In a dental implant treatment, screws are first placed in the jawbone. These screws create artificial tooth roots for new teeth to be placed in order to replace your missing teeth. When dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone, they fuse with your natural bone. After this fusion is achieved, your crowns are designed to support one or more artificial teeth. Connectors (dental abutments) are placed over your implants to hold and support the crowns. Crowns are individually produced for your mouth to adapt to your natural teeth and restore your old comfort.

All on 4 treatment is a fast and effective treatment method, which is preferred especially in edentulous patients, in order to eliminate conditions that require advanced level of surgical procedures due to sinus lift, bone addition and bone insufficiency. All on 4 is a tailor-made treatment procedure performed after the patient’s jaw and mouth conformity is approved. It is a technique in which, after treatment planning, a fixed full-chin denture is applied on 4 or 6 dental implants with a surgical operation on the same day. After the application, patients regain their former comfort in terms of aesthetics and functionality. The lack of self-confidence experienced as a result of aesthetic concerns in chewing, speaking and smiling is also regained in a short time. Before the treatment, individually designed temporary prostheses are prepared according to the size taken from the patient. If there are teeth that need to be extracted, they are pulled and implants are placed in the jawbone with a surgical operation to be performed under local anaesthesia. Then, individually produced temporary prosthesis is attached, allowing the person to spend this period in maximum comfort until permanent prostheses are attached. After about 3 months, permanent prostheses are attached and the treatment is concluded. All on 4 treatment concept is more economical and practical than traditional implant treatment. All on 4, which is a proven treatment method, gives people a healthy and comfortable mouth structure in a short time. It is a highly preferred treatment as it can be used for many years without any problem.

Dental laminates are frequently preferred as a treatment method in dental disorders that prevent an aesthetic smile, repair of broken teeth for any reason, cleaning of decayed teeth, and removal of deformities in the teeth. Dental laminates, which are prepared by taking into account the tooth dimensions in accordance with the person’s mouth and tooth structure, are applied by placing to the front surface of the tooth. Dental laminates are also known as leaf porcelain. Before the application of dental laminates as a very comfortable treatment method, it is possible to see the result at the beginning of the treatment thanks to digital dentistry. Thus, it has become a frequently preferred treatment procedure. The most advantageous feature of the dental laminates is that they achieve the desired harmony without the need for the removal of tooth enamel. Laminates, which are as thin and transparent as a leaf, provide maximum adaptation to the teeth they are attached to, giving patients a better-looking smile. Laminates with high durability can be used for a lifetime as long as they are regularly and continuously maintained. In the first session, the person’s intraoral measurements are taken and a preparation for treatment is made. The measurement made is sent to the laboratory of the dental clinic and a mock-up is created there, which allows dentist and patients to evaluate the aesthetic demands of the patient’s dentition. Upon approval of the created mock-up, the process of preparing the laminates to be inserted begins when a consensus is reached with the dentist. Then, the produced laminates are placed to the patient’s teeth in a short time. In the first stage, temporary coatings are attached and compatibility is checked. If the dentist does not detect any problem and the patient is satisfied with the teeth, permanent real porcelains are produced. Dental laminates fixed to teeth with special adhesives can be used easily within the same day. If no problems occur, dental laminate treatment is completed at the end of approx. 2 or 3 sessions.

Orthodontics deals with treatments applied to prevent the misalignment of the teeth and to ensure their control and repair. Orthodontic treatments are important not only for the procedures performed with aesthetic concerns, but also for the prevention of gum diseases that may be experienced in the future. There are also orthodontic procedures performed in order to prevent problems that may occur in the jaw joint, to provide chewing functionality and to eliminate the problems of individuals with speech disorders due to oral structure disorders. After the diagnosis of the existing orthodontic problem in patients, the most appropriate treatment methods are applied by making a choice among removable appliances, functional appliances and fixed appliances. Unless teeth are severely misaligned, a solution can be offered with simple methods and removable appliances. There is no age limit for orthodontic treatments. They can be applied by making treatment planning according to the patients’ needs and current problems. However, the patient’s age may play a decisive role in determining the duration of the treatment.

Invisalign are clear aligners that are frequently used in modern orthodontic treatments, in applications for adults especially. Invisalign treatment method as an invisible alternative to braces offers great comfort and aesthetic appearance to the patients during the treatment. Thanks to the digital dentistry, aligners designed individually with three-dimensional modelling in the computer environment provide very effective results. In addition to the aesthetic appearance provided by clear aligners, they are preferred especially by patients with intraoral sensitivity as they do not cause stinging and injury compared to braces. Each individually designed clear aligner is aligned to the teeth with an alignment discrepancy of approx. 0.5 mm. When an improvement is achieved in the teeth according to the treatment planning, the clear aligners are replaced in the periods deemed appropriate by the dentist. Each aligner replacement means that the desired result is one step closer. Although the duration of treatment varies from patient to patient, it is completed in about 4 to 12 months.

Paediatric Dentistry deals with preventive treatments for milk teeth and permanent teeth of individuals from birth to mid-adolescence. In this field, treatment applications such as prevention of caries and root canal treatment are applied to children between the ages of 0-12. It is easier to protect oral and dental health with habits acquired in childhood. Children who meet the dentist and have a positive experience at an early age do not have any fear of the dentist, and they can have their treatment done consciously and regularly when they are adults. In addition, children who have preventive treatments for permanent teeth formed in childhood face fewer dental problems in adulthood. Paediatric dentists follow the oral and dental health of children, as well as the development of the jaw and face, from infancy to adolescence, and perform all necessary preventive and protective applications. These treatments and applications play an important role in preventing eating disorders that may result from oral and dental problems in children.

There are many reasons for discoloration on tooth surfaces. Some teeth may be congenitally yellow or stained. In addition, white teeth can turn yellow over time, especially with external factors. Smoking, wine, tea and coffee consumption are the main external factors that cause discoloration in teeth. In some cases, teeth that were white when they were young may turn yellow depending on the aging process. Apart from these, teeth may appear more yellow as the enamel layer thins over time and the colour of the dentin layer, which gives the teeth their original colour, becomes clearer. Thanks to today’s technology and teeth whitening methods, it is possible to restore your teeth to their old whiteness or even a whiter colour than before. Laser teeth whitening is a frequently preferred application among these methods. Bleaching method is a process that is applied with materials containing carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide and methods that only dentists can use. The first step in the session is to clean the teeth. In the next step, a protector is attached to prevent damage to the gums and lips. Then, along with the gel rubbed to the teeth, laser beam is applied to teeth at intervals of 30 seconds. Finally, the gel is cleaned and the oral protective apparatus is removed. In our dental clinic, laser teeth whitening procedure is applied with the state-of-the-art technology devices and the right methods. In this process, which takes about 45 minutes, patients get white teeth.

In order to prevent tooth extraction, root canal treatment is applied to keep the tooth in the jaw even in advanced caries and to save the tooth. This method helps you get rid of toothache and save your carious tooth. During the root canal treatment process, the nerve and tooth pulp (pulp) are removed, then the internal part of the tooth is cleaned and filled. Early diagnosis in root canal treatment is of great importance in saving a carious tooth. If the aching tooth is neglected and not intervened for a long time, the infection may spread to the surrounding tissues and the carious tooth may be lost. The first step in the root canal treatment is to take an X-ray film, in order to see the shape of the root canals. Because analyse and detection of the tooth structure is very important for root canal treatment. At the same time, it is examined whether there is any sign of infection in a bone around the tooth to be treated. The application is generally performed under local anaesthesia by numbing the area adjacent to the tooth. Since the nerve is dead, anaesthesia may not be required, but it is useful to numb the area to ensure a calm and comfortable operation for patients. After the carious tooth is completely free of bacteria, it must be sealed. While the tooth is closed immediately after cleaning, the tooth may, in some cases, not be closed immediately in case of possible infection suspicions. In such cases, temporary filling method is applied to prevent food residues from filling the cavity in the tooth. Since the tooth may be sensitive for a day or two after root canal treatment, avoiding extremely hot and extremely cold foods will prevent you from experiencing pain and aches.

Periodontology deals with gingival diseases, which are usually painless until the last period, and infectious diseases that are seen in the tissues surrounding the teeth and can also affect the jawbone. Even if your teeth are not decayed, you can lose your teeth with problems caused by gum diseases. If not treated at an early stage, surgical intervention may be required. Any periodontal disease that occurs in the mouth can cause symptoms such as swelling and bleeding in the gums, bad odour or taste, loosening of the teeth and displacement of the teeth. The problem that generally occurs in the first stage of periodontal diseases, is the inflammation of gingiva (gingivitis). Gingivitis can be expressed as the early period of periodontal diseases. During this stage, bleeding, redness and an increase in volume occur in the gingiva. Gum diseases may not cause great discomfort to the patient in the early period. When symptoms are generally tolerable, discomfort can be ignored and a visit to the dentist can be delayed. However, untreated periodontal diseases can become serious in the future and cause irreversible damage to the bone tissue that supports the teeth. For this reason, even after the minor changes in the gums, you should definitely see the dentist and make sure that you receive the necessary treatment on time. A recovery for gum diseases, which are easily treated at the early stages, may be achieved by a change in the oral hygiene habits of patients and regular check-ups. Please note that if you have unhealthy gums, it is not possible to have other dental treatments.

In case of insufficient height and bone thickness for dental implant applications, Sinus Lift method is performed. Under local or general anaesthesia, a canal is opened in a determined area of the gingiva and a suitable area is created. After elevation of the sinus membrane, the opened canal is grafted with the underlying bone and closed by sutures. Sinus Lift procedure takes approximately 45 minutes. Sinus Lift is a method used to intensify existing but insufficient bone by surgical means or to create new bone formation in areas where it is missing. This procedure makes the patient a candidate for a dental implant application, and bone density and bone volume, which makes it possible to apply the dental implant, are achieved. In other words, sinus lift procedure is, in some cases, essential for the implant to be healthy and long-lasting. It is also possible to see bone loss in areas over time where a tooth loss occurred. It is very difficult to apply dental implants to patients with such a problem. However, thanks to the grafting process, the bone can be augmented in areas with insufficient amount and volume of bone. In bone grafting procedures, an artificial material or a graft taken from the bone can be used to augment the bone. As a general, the bone volume needed for a dental implant application is obtained from the grafted bones placed in the sinus areas.

This application deals with the redesign of the smile, whose aesthetic structure is deteriorated due to the problems in the teeth and gums, taking into account the lips, face and jaw shapes. Oral and dental aesthetics, which are deteriorated due to reasons such as carious teeth, crowded teeth, abnormal discolouration and tooth loss, also cause a loss in smile aesthetics. Thanks to today’s technology, it is possible to solve these problems within the scope of aesthetic dentistry and to give patients a flawless smile. Speaking of aesthetic dentistry, the first concept that comes to mind is the concept of “smile design”. Since the problems and aesthetic concerns of each patient to whom a smile design will be applied are different, an individual treatment process is applied for each patient. The most important process at the beginning of the treatment is the first session in which patients tell their own story and what kind of smile they want to have, to their dentist. In this session, the patient’s mouth and teeth structure are determined in detail with digital imaging systems and the most appropriate treatment options are decided. These decisions are the procedures determined by the dentist according to the needs of the patient and in agreement with the patient. Depending on the patient’s aesthetic appearance and concerns, these procedures may include gum aesthetics called gingivectomy, teeth whitening (bleaching), elimination of tooth deficiencies with dental implant or prosthesis applications, porcelain laminates and veneers, zirconium veneers, and orthodontic treatments. As we mentioned before, it is very important in the treatment of smile design to understand the patient’s expectation and to determine it well. Our experienced dental specialists will apply the right procedures for you and will give you the perfect smile you desire.
