Here's detailed information about our services and treatments.
Dental implants are a treatment option broadly used to treat missing teeth, which consists of a titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone and a dental prosthesis (crown). The titanium screw acts as the root of the tooth, following the process of osseointegration (integration of the screw into the jawbone). Before the procedure, patient’s jaw structure and its suitability are evaluated by x-ray and tomography. Implants can be applied to patients over 18 years of age who have finished their bone development, and are in good general health. Since dental implants are a surgical procedure, slight soreness and pain after the treatment could be expected. Painkillers can be administered on the day of the procedure. If the pain is relieved the next day, there is no need to continue using painkillers.
Smile design can be defined as the elimination of dental features that do not satisfy the person aesthetically. Initially, the patient's general oral health is evaluated, and the smile design is planned according to the patient's aesthetic expectations, mouth structure and facial features. Prior to treatment, a plan should be defined, taking the patient’s wishes into consideration. Treatment duration may vary depending on the procedures involved. Procedures such as gum aesthetics, aesthetic composite fillings, ceramic fillings, zirconium crowns, E-max and laminate veneers, dental bleaching, orthodontic treatment, and dental implants can be applied as part of smile design.
Orthodontic treatment is a dental procedure that is applied with brackets or transparent plaques (Invisalign) placed on the teeth to treat teeth and jaw irregularities. The duration of treatment depends on the type of malocclusion (the way that upper and lower jaw close) and misalignment of the teeth. Orthodontic treatments that only aim to correct the teeth misalignment are completed more rapidly. Depending on the patient’s compliance, the treatment may take between 6 to 24 months.
The structure that nourishes the tooth and gives its vitality, which is not visible when viewed from the outside, is called tooth pulp. This structure is commonly known as the dental nerve. During the root canal treatment, the infected tooth is identified, the inflamed tissue resulting from caries down to the pulp is cleaned and disinfected, and the root canal is filled.
Peridontology is a branch of dentistry that deals with diseases of the gums, supporting tissues of teeth and oral mucosa. This field focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases such as gum diseases, gingivitis and periodontitis. Treatment methods may include scaling, gum surgery, periodontal surgery and implant surgery. Gum diseases begin with gingivitis and, if left untreated, can damage the bone tissue surrounding the teeth. Therefore, regular dental care, tooth brushing, flossing and periodic dentist checks play an important role in preventing periodontal diseases.
Dental protheses are artificial teeth that are placed in lost or extracted tooth cavities to help the patient perform functions such as chewing and speaking properly. There are three types of dental prostheses: fixed prostheses, removable prostheses and implant-supported prostheses. Fixed dental prostheses are prostethics that are attached to the patient’s mouth with special dental adhesives, whereas removable dental prostheses could be put on and taken off. Fixed or removable prostheses placed on and supported by the implant are called implant-supported prostheses.
Pediatric dentistry is the area of dentistry that protects, treats and monitors the oral and dental health of children aged 0 to 14. Treatments such as tooth fillings, root canals, anti-cavity treatments, space maintainers and treatments to stop unhealthy habits such as thumb sucking can be advised for the baby and permanent teeth of pediatric patients.
Teeth that do not have a place to erupt during its developmental window, or teeth that are not in the correct orientation in the mouth could cause pressure, pain and discomfort in the jaw. Unless the teeth is extracted, they can cause severe pain, redness, swelling and occasionally abscesses in that area. In certain cases, sutures are done after the tooth extraction, but often sutures are not required. If applied, the sutures are removed 7-10 days after the operation.
