COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Everyone wants a nice smile,right? Because smiling is very important in our social life, in relationships and now in the modern digital world. Recently, our patients have started to come with a demand for a smooth white smile in photos. They are right 🙂 At this point, we apply healthy, functional, aesthetic smiles and self-confidence with the combined treatments to our patients who are not satisfied with their smiles.
SMILE DESIGN
As the age progresses, shortening occurs in the length of our teeth due to erosion on the teeth. This situation actually concerns our whole face. Because as the length of the teeth gets shorter, our lower face height decreases and makes us look older than we are. In addition, discoloration may occur on our teeth due to the food and drinks we consume over the years (tea, coffee, etc.) At this point, we can make our teeth more beautiful and whiter with laminates, bleaching and bonding applications. We can achieve the smile we want with porcelain and zirconium laminate and veneers. In addition, we can apply gingivectomy and gingivoplasty procedures to make the gums appear less while smiling in our patients with gummy smile problem. And we call all of these, smile design.
VENEERS
• Improve chipped, discoloured or slightly crooked teeth
• Close gaps in your teeth
• Natural looking restoration
• Long lasting smile transformation
If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.
GUM RESTORATION
When the smile design is examined as a whole, gum arrangements are seen as a complementary and important factor. It is not an aesthetic appearance to have more gums than they should be when we smile. This problem can be solved by an easy surgical procedure such as gingivectomy
TEETH CLEANING AND BLEACHING
In teeth cleaning, non-permanent cigarette, tea and coffee stains on the tooth surface can be easily cleaned in half an hour. Apart from this, teeth whitening process can be applied to who want the main color of their teeth to be whiter.
In tooth whitening or bleaching, we can open our patients’ teeth 5-6 shades more whiter than their own color.
One of the questions we hear the most; ‘Is teeth whitening harmful?
If teeth whitening is applied professionally by a dentist, there is no harm. It is only necessary to avoid colored foods and drinks for the first 10 days after the procedure. (tea, coffee, cigarette, cherry juice, wine, etc.) This process is completed in 1 or 2 sessions depending on the tooth color of the patient, and it totally takes 1-1.5 hours.
