Aesthetic Dentistry Applications

Cosmetic dentistry is a discipline within dentistry that aims to enhance an individual's smile by correcting worn, irregular, discolored, and spaced teeth, and ensuring harmony between the teeth and surrounding tissues (gums, lips, and facial appearance).

All individuals who cannot perform functions such as chewing, speaking, and laughing ideally for various reasons are treated with Aesthetic Dentistry applications within the scope of oral and dental health. In Aesthetic Dentistry, which includes applications that significantly correct discoloration and deformities of the teeth, the patient and the patient's expectations are first taken into consideration. Following this stage, the treatment process is initiated to create a tooth alignment that is both aesthetically and biologically compatible with the patient.

Teeth Whitening

Our smile is one of the most important elements that shape our first impression. However, factors such as tea, coffee, smoking, and aging can cause discoloration of the teeth over time. Fortunately, teeth whitening methods have made achieving a bright smile much easier.

Step 1: Initial Assessment

Professional teeth whitening treatment typically begins with an initial assessment. The dentist evaluates the patient's current tooth color, gum health, and other potential issues.

Step 2: Teeth Cleaning and Preparation

Before the treatment, the teeth are first cleaned and freed from deposits like tartar. This allows the whitening gel to penetrate the teeth more effectively. Then, a preparation stage is carried out to remove stains accumulated on the protective layer of the teeth, the enamel.

Step 3: Whitening Stage

Professional teeth whitening treatment usually involves a gel containing hydrogen peroxide. Then, a light device is used to accelerate the effect of the whitening gel. This stage can typically take between 30 minutes to 1 hour and may require one or more sessions.

Step 4: Final Assessment and Recommendations

After the whitening procedure is completed, the color of the teeth is measured, and the patient's satisfaction is checked. Post-whitening dental care and diet recommendations are also provided to the patient. These suggestions can help the whitening results last longer.

What are the Advantages?

  1. Fast and Effective Results: Professional teeth whitening treatment provides quick and effective results, allowing patients to immediately notice the change in their smile.
  2. Safe and Controlled Environment: Whitening procedures performed in the dental clinic are safe as they are conducted under the supervision of a dentist, preventing potential complications.
  3. Long-lasting Results: With proper care and regular check-ups, professional teeth whitening results can be long-lasting, enhancing your smile in the long term.

Porcelain Laminates

Today, aesthetic dentistry offers many options to perfect your smile. Porcelain laminate treatment is becoming increasingly popular for correcting aesthetic imperfections in your teeth and achieving a perfect smile.

Porcelain laminate treatment is an ideal solution for addressing aesthetic imperfections such as cracks, discolorations, gaps, and minor misalignments in the teeth.

How is it Applied?

Porcelain laminate treatment typically involves a three-step process. First, adjustments are made to the front surfaces of your teeth. Then, impressions are taken, and specially prepared porcelain laminate veneers are created in the laboratory. Finally, the veneers are bonded to the teeth and shaped to fit.

Who is it Suitable for?

Porcelain laminate treatment is generally suitable for individuals with healthy teeth who want to correct aesthetic imperfections.

Conclusion

Porcelain laminate treatment is an effective and reliable option that reveals the secrets of an aesthetic smile. With its natural appearance, durability, and ability to correct aesthetic imperfections, it has become a preferred choice for many people. Live your smile as you deserve!

Inlay/Onlay Restorations

What are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are specially designed restorative materials used to treat moderate issues such as medium to large cavities, fractures, or other damages in the teeth. The primary difference between the two treatments is the surface and size of the area they are applied to.

  1. Inlay: Inlays are restorations made from porcelain or composite materials prepared in the laboratory based on the measurements taken from the decayed or damaged area of the tooth. Inlays are applied to the upper surface of the tooth and typically cover the decayed or damaged area.
  2. Onlay: Onlays cover a larger restoration area than inlays. They not only cover the decayed or damaged area but can also extend to cover part of the tooth externally. Therefore, onlays typically fit over a larger area of the tooth.

What are the Advantages?

  1. Natural Appearance: Inlays and onlays can be specially designed to match your tooth color, providing a natural appearance.
  2. Durability: Inlays and onlays made from porcelain or composite materials enhance the durability of your teeth and provide long-term protection.
  3. Easy Maintenance: Inlays and onlays are easier to clean and maintain compared to other restoration methods.
  4. Aesthetic Results: They effectively repair damage to the teeth, allowing you to achieve an aesthetic smile.
