It is to evaluate the oral and dental structure as a whole and to design the ideal smile by identifying the deficiencies and to perform applications accordingly. In these procedures, intraoral scanners that digitally scan the teeth and oral structure and perform 3D modeling are used. This technology makes it possible to plan the smile design in a personalized and more precise way.
The effect of teeth whitening lasts for 4-5 years on average. This procedure can be reapplied when it loses its effect.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure to lighten the color of teeth, while teeth cleaning is a treatment to maintain gum health by removing plaque and tartar deposits. Teeth whitening aims to improve the appearance of teeth, while teeth cleaning protects teeth and gum health. Teeth whitening is usually done with special gels or lasers, while teeth cleaning is done by the dentist with special tools. Whitening is for aesthetic purposes, while teeth cleaning should be done regularly for health reasons.
Zirconium and ceramic dental veneers are used for aesthetic and functional purposes. Zirconium offers high durability and aesthetics and is used on both front and back teeth. This material is resistant to chewing force thanks to its strong structure. Ceramic veneers provide aesthetics close to natural teeth. The type of dental veneer suitable for the patient’s needs should be determined by the dentist.
Implants are artificial tooth roots, usually made of titanium, that replace missing teeth. Implants, which are placed in the jawbone and function as natural teeth, offer aesthetic and functional solutions.
Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity of implants. Brushing twice a day, flossing, cleaning with antibacterial mouthwash and regular dental check-ups are necessary for their maintenance.
Root canal treatment does not cause pain. During the treatment, the dentist numbs the area using local anesthesia so that the patient does not feel pain during the procedure. However, there may be a slight sensitivity or discomfort after the treatment. This usually goes away within a few days.
A tooth with a lesion can be treated, but depending on the condition of the tooth and the severity of the lesion, the treatment may vary. Lesions usually occur at or around the root of the tooth as a result of infection, decay or trauma. In this case, the dentist determines the source of the lesion and implements an appropriate treatment plan. Treatment options may include root canal treatment, cleaning the lesion and antibiotic therapy.
Orthodontic treatments include various methods used to correct dental and jaw disorders. Metal brackets provide classic braces, while clear braces, a more aesthetic option, and lingual orthodontics, which are worn on the back surface of the teeth, offer less noticeable solutions. Clear aligners (Invisalign) align the teeth without the use of braces and are suitable for those with aesthetic concerns. The treatment plan is determined according to the patient’s needs.
