FAQ
A dental implant is a titanium screw system to which a prosthesis is placed in cases of a missing tooth. Dental implants placed in the jawbone serve as a substitute for the tooth root. In cases of a single missing tooth, it is possible to replace the missing tooth without touching the adjacent healthy teeth, and thanks to dental implants, it is possible to use fixed prostheses instead of removable prostheses in cases of multiple missing teeth. In cases of total edentulism, thanks to implants, it is possible to fixate removable prostheses, which are difficult to use especially in the lower jaw, and tend to frequently come out of the mouth.
Placing of prostheses in dental implant treatment takes longer compared to conventional treatments because it takes around 2.5 to 4 months for the titanium structure to integrate with the bone, and, if any additional operations are done on the jawbone or sinus lifting is procedure is carried out, this process can extend up to 6 months. However, the results are very satisfactory and longer-lasting.

The existing prostheses of patients, especially those who have been edentate for many years, lose compatibility over time due to the constant change in the bones and begin to move and cause scars. As implant-supported prostheses are placed on a fixed foundation, it does cannot move or be removed from the mouth. It can be applied to people who do not want removable prosthesis or whose bone has lost its retention.

All On Four treatment can be applied to all patients without teeth (not having any teeth) who don’t have any systematic disease that could create an obstacle for dental implant surgery and who have sufficient bone mass.
First of all a detailed clinic and radiological examination should be done to patients for who All On Four treatment is planned. By making meausrements through computerized tomography (BT) a suitable plan is made for the patient. All On Four procedure is composed of two parts as surgery and dental prothesis process. After 4 pieces of dental implants are applied to the patient on the first day of treatment, temporary dental prothesis is fixed on dental implants on the same day. 3 months later permanent teeth prothesis is applied to patient
Lamina is the Latin word for 'leaf'. In this method, the entire teeth surface is not trimmed, only the front surfaces are trimmed 0.3 to 0.7 mm. Therefore, the loss of healthy tooth tissue is kept to the minimum. In this procedure, porcelain veneers are attached to the trimmed areas.
In cases of irreversible discoloration with dental bleaching, Teeth with poor structure and shape, In the treatment of diastema (diastema closure), In the restoration of broken or worn teeth, In the replacement of old fillings with damaged color and structure, In fixing crowded and crooked teeth (it can be preferred as an alternative cosmetic treatment).
During the first session, the impression of your teeth is taken before trimming, followed by the examination of the obtained model. Next, your teeth are trimmed and the impression of your teeth is re-taken using sensitive impression material. In the next session, the laminates are applied to your teeth.
Inlays and Onlays are the middle ground solution between fillings and crowns (tooth cap). Dental inlays and onlays are aesthetic treatment methods used when there is not enough bone tissue to fill and tooth damage is not substantial enough to use a crown.
For teeth that received root canal treatment or severely decayed, an insufficient volume of tooth tissue after the removal of decay is observed. The desired anatomic form and contact can be achieved beforehand since the inlay or onlay is prepared on a mock-up. Also, the material is more resistant to erosion and chewing pressure than conventional filling material.
Aesthetically satisfactory Durable They preserve the remaining healthy dental tissue Minimum risk of further decay and leaking around the edges The restored tooth is a precise match to the teeth on either side.
Today, the focus in aesthetic dentistry is to make dental treatments both visually and functionally satisfactory. Therefore, the main purpose is to ensure that the fillings are like natural teeth in shape and color, the filling borders are not visible, and the filling is indistinguishable from natural teeth.
We support the approach of preserving the natural structure of the tooth as much as possible. At first, your teeth are examined whether they are vulnerable with large decays or fractures of which may be reinforced with aesthetic filling material. Thanks to the advances in composite technology, teeth may be maintained with aesthetic fillings for years instead of porcelain veneers in most cases.
Since the level of density is close to that of the natural teeth and they chemically bond with the teeth, they are relatively more protective against possible fractures in the teeth.
The element Zirconium, a white hard metal, is used in dentistry as 'zirconia (zirconium dioxide)'. It is a bio-compatible restorative material with very high fracture resistance. It is also a suitable choice for patients who are allergic to metal elements such as nickel-titanium.
Thanks to its light translucence, preparability and polishable structure, it may be used in the construction of all anterior/posterior restorations. It is one of the preferred restoration materials in dentistry as it is tissue friendly.
In metal-supported porcelain which is an older method than zirconium crowns, the inner surface of the crowns are covered with gray metals. These crowns are obtained by stacking tooth-colored porcelain on metals. However, due to the transparent structure of the porcelain, the silhouette of the gray metal underneath becomes clear over time and the veneers appear more dull than natural teeth. Zirconia teeth are one-piece restorations and all of them are the same color as teeth. In addition, by giving the effect of transparency to their ends like how natural teeth looks, an aesthetic appearance suitable for the person's own tooth structure is provided.
It takes an average of 2 sessions to complete the design and show it to you in the mouth. Impressions of your teeth are taken during the first session. During the follow-up session, the digitally created design is presented to you in your mouth using an application named “Mock Up”. The treatment process begins in line with the methods that are determined after the digital smile design is completed. Although the number of sessions may vary depending on the condition of your teeth and the procedures to be performed, the desired results are usually achieved within 3 sessions.
During the first session, photos and video footage are taken using studio equipment. Also, impressions of your upper and lower jaws are taken for the digital smile design process.
The dentist explains in detail what kind of procedures should be applied to the existing teeth in order to achieve the ideal smile design. Digital smile design is usually achieved through a combination of Orthodontics, Dental Implants, and Gingiva applications. In line with the determined treatment process, the dentist schedules the next appointment and the treatment begins. All procedures to be applied and the current situation are recorded and all steps of the treatment are planned according to the digital smile design.
In cases where one or more teeth are situated far from the position they should originally be in, it will not be medically appropriate to have a try-in session without changing the position of that tooth or those teeth. It is because such teeth may prevent the ideal smile design from being applied with 100% accuracy. However, this possibility is taken into consideration during the decision-making stage.
Digital smile design is completed within 3 to 5 days. In this process, the data which is recorded in the digital environment during the first session is evaluated by the dentist, and your brand new smile is designed. When designing a smile, the facial features of the individual, namely the eyes, ear, nose, chin tip, etc. are taken into account. While determining the form of the teeth, it is essential to achieve a dynamic harmony between the form of the patient's teeth and the style of the patient in line with the concept of visagism. (Perfection of Natural Beauty). A second session is scheduled to test the model and present it to the patient, after transforming the digital design into a model based on the impressions.
