İmplant, eksik dişlerin yerine çene kemiğine yerleştirilen titanyum vidalardır. It acts as a natural tooth root. A denture, bridge or single tooth crown is placed on it. Implant treatment can be applied to anyone who is in good general health, has completed jaw bone development (over 18 years of age) and can pay attention to oral hygiene. Treatment is possible under the supervision of a doctor for patients with systemic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. The success rate may decrease in smokers.

Implant treatment is usually completed within 3-6 months. First, the implant is placed (15-30 minutes). Then, 2-4 months are waited for the implant to fuse to the bone (osseointegration). After the union is completed, measurements are taken and the prosthesis is placed within 1-2 weeks. If bone graft is required, the period may extend to 6-12 months. Immediate implant can be performed in the same session after extraction, but it is not applied to every patient.

No, implant treatment is painless because it is performed under local anesthesia. There may be slight swelling and tenderness after the procedure. This situation is normal and will pass within 2-3 days. This discomfort can be minimized with painkillers. It is less painful than tooth extraction. Sedation (treatment by putting you to sleep) option is also available.

Implant life depends on your oral care and regular dentist check-ups. If taken care of well, it can be used for a lifetime. The prosthesis (covering) on ​​the implant may last between 10-15 years. Smoking, teeth grinding, and not paying attention to oral hygiene shorten the life of the implant.

The implant transfers the chewing force like a natural tooth, but since it does not have a gum connection (periodontal ligament), it is not as flexible as a natural tooth. It is difficult to distinguish it from natural teeth aesthetically. The bone around the implant may melt faster than a natural tooth, so regular check-ups are important.

Bone grafting is a procedure performed when the jaw bone is insufficient before the implant. Synthetic bone powder, bovine bone graft, or the patient's own bone can be used. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and recovery takes 4-6 months. Sinus lifting is a special type of bone graft for the posterior region of the upper jaw.

Sinus lifting is an operation performed when there is bone deficiency in the rear area of ​​the upper jaw (teeth close to our cheeks). A bone graft is added to the sinus cavity. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia and takes approximately 1 hour. The recovery period may be up to 6 months. Activities such as airplane travel and heavy lifting should be avoided for 1-2 weeks after sinus lifting.

Zirconium is a completely white ceramic material that does not contain a metal substructure. It is more aesthetic than metal coatings, transmits light, is compatible with gums and does not cause allergies. While black lines may form on the gums over time in metal-supported porcelains, this problem does not occur in zirconium. It has high durability (1200 MPa).

Metal-supported porcelain veneers are more economical, but may cause black lines on the gums over time. It does not transmit light and is more opaque. Zirconium coating is more expensive, completely white, transmits light, is gum-friendly and does not cause allergies. In terms of durability, both are sufficient. If aesthetic expectations are high, zirconium is preferred, and if budget is a priority, metal-supported is preferred.

Smile design is creating a special smile for you by evaluating the shape, color, size, gum line and harmony of your teeth with your facial features. Simulation is performed on your photographs in a digital environment (DSD - Digital Smile Design). The result of the procedure can be seen in advance. Smile design usually includes a combination of procedures such as laminate, zirconium coating, whitening, and gum correction (gingivectomy). Treatment duration varies between 2-6 weeks.

Lamina are thin (0.3-0.5 mm) porcelain sheets that are glued to the front surface of the teeth. Thread cutting is minimal. Ideal for tooth gaps, broken teeth, deformities and discolorations. It is permanent (10-15 years) and natural looking. It is not recommended for those who have a habit of grinding their teeth (bruxism), there is a risk of fracture.

Teeth whitening is done in two ways: Office type (in our clinic) and home type individual tray. In office whitening, gel is applied to the teeth and activated with a special light. At the end of 1 session (1-1.5 hours), 4-8 tones of lightening are achieved. In home whitening, gel is placed in trays specially prepared for you and applied for 7-14 nights. The effect is permanent for 1-2 years. Colorants such as cigarettes, tea and coffee shorten the time.

When done correctly, it does not harm teeth. Temporary sensitivity (1-3 days) after the procedure is normal. This sensitivity can be relieved with fluoride gels. If done too frequently (more than twice a year), thinning of tooth enamel may occur. For pregnant women, under 18 years of age, and in the presence of fillers/coverings, a doctor's decision is required.

Transparent aligners are special, almost invisible plaques developed as an alternative to braces. It can be removed while eating and brushing teeth. Treatment is completed on average between 6-18 months. Plates are changed every 2 weeks. It is effective in mild to moderate wrinkles. In advanced cases, braces may be more appropriate.

The duration of braces treatment varies depending on the degree of curvature of the teeth and age. It is usually between 12-24 months. The treatment period in adults may be longer than in children (18-30 months). After the treatment, reinforcement therapy (transparent plate or stabilizer wire) is applied for 6-12 months.

Root canal treatment is the process of cleaning and filling the infected nerve tissue (pulp) inside the tooth. It is painless because it is performed under local anesthesia. Toothache that occurs before treatment disappears after treatment. Slight sensitivity is normal for 1-2 days after the procedure. It is always a priority to save the tooth with root canal treatment rather than having it extracted.

A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment becomes brittle (dries out and loses its flexibility) over time. That's why veneers are recommended on the back teeth (premolars and molars). Fillings may be sufficient for front teeth. If the crown is not applied, the risk of tooth fracture is high.

Treatment varies depending on the degree of recession: 1) Scaling and correct brushing training, 2) Root surface straightening (curettage), 3) Gum graft (repair of the gum with tissue taken from the palate of the mouth). In advanced cases, laser treatment can also be used. Early diagnosis is very important.

No, scaling does not harm teeth. Only dental stones are cleaned with ultrasonic devices. There may be sensitivity in the teeth after the procedure, this is normal and will pass within 1-2 days. Dental scaling is vital for gum health. It is recommended to do it 1-2 times a year.

Wisdom teeth (third molars) often remain impacted or become crowded. It is recommended to remove it in the following cases: If it is impacted, if it puts pressure on the adjacent tooth, if it causes infection, if it causes cyst formation, if it prevents orthodontic treatment. If it is problem-free and suitable for oral hygiene, it can be left in place. Extraction is usually done with local anesthesia, if buried, surgical intervention is required.

In general, a dentist check-up is recommended every 6 months. During these checks, dental stones are cleaned, cavities are diagnosed early, and oral cancer screening is performed. Even if not every 6 months, it should be visited at least once a year. Pregnant women, diabetics and heart patients should visit every 3-6 months.

Yes, dental treatment can be performed during pregnancy. The safest period is the 2nd trimester (4-6 months). Since organ development is critical in the first trimester, treatment is not recommended except in emergency situations. In the 3rd trimester, the supine position may be a problem. In case of emergency (pain, infection), treatment should be carried out in each trimester, because infection harms the baby. If x-rays are required, a lead apron is used. The doctor should be informed about drug use.

It should be taken to the dentist when the first tooth emerges (between 6-12 months) and at the age of 1 at the latest. In the early period, acclimatization and protective practices (fissure sealant, fluoride) are applied. All milk teeth emerge between the ages of 2-3. At the age of 6, the first permanent tooth (6-year-old tooth) appears and fissure sealant is recommended.

Cleaning should begin as soon as the first tooth emerges (6-12 months). A finger brush or soft cloth can be used. Starting from the age of 2, fluoride toothpaste equal to the size of a grain of rice is used. It is used as much as a pea from the age of 3. Your child should not brush alone until the age of 7-8, you should control it.

Fissure sealant is a fluid filling material applied to the pits and recesses (fissures) on the molars. Prevents tooth decay up to 80%. It is applied to the first molars that emerge at the age of 6 and to the second molars that emerge at the age of 12. It is a painless and quick procedure (5-10 minutes per tooth).

Fear of the dentist (dentophobia) is very common. Modern clinics now apply special approaches in this regard: numbing gel before local anesthesia, computerized anesthesia for needle phobia (without needles), play therapy for children, sedatives (diazepam) in mild cases, sedation (treatment by putting them to sleep) in severe cases. State your fear at your first visit and a special method will be applied to you.

The main causes of bad breath (halitosis): Dental tartar, gingivitis, bacteria on the tongue, sinusitis, reflux, some medications, diabetes. Solution: 1) Regular dental scaling (every 6 months), 2) Brushing the back of the tongue with a tongue cleaner, 3) Using dental floss, 4) Drinking plenty of water, 5) Treatment if there is an underlying disease (reflux, sinusitis). If it does not last longer than 6 months, consult a doctor.

Bruxism is the unconscious clenching or grinding of the teeth, usually at night while sleeping. It causes wear and breakage of teeth, jaw pain, headache, and tinnitus. Treatment: 1) The tooth is protected with a night plate (transparent hard plate), 2) Stress management, 3) Botox (applied to the chewing muscles), 4) Physical therapy, 5) Correction of worn teeth with filling/veneer if necessary.

Correct brushing technique: 1) Choose a soft-bristled toothbrush, 2) Place the brush at a 45-degree angle to the gum, 3) Brush with small circular movements, 4) Brush the front, back and chewing surface of each tooth, 5) Brush your tongue as well (bacteria accumulate here too), 6) Brush twice a day (morning and evening) for at least 2 minutes, 7) Change the toothbrush every 3 months. Don't forget to use dental floss.

1) Tear off approximately 40 cm of dental floss, 2) Wrap the floss around the middle fingers of both hands, 3) Hold the floss taut with your thumb and forefinger, 4) Place the floss slowly between the teeth, 5) Do not press hard to avoid damaging the gum, 6) Wrap the floss around the tooth in a C shape and move it slowly under the gum, 7) Use a clean section between each tooth. Use once a day (before evening brushing).

To prevent the formation of cavities: 1) Brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day, 2) Using dental floss, 3) Avoiding sugary and acidic foods, 4) Check-up with a dentist every 6 months, 5) Fissure sealant (for children), 6) Chewing gum containing xylitol, 7) Drinking plenty of water (prevents dry mouth). Remember, rot is an INFECTIOUS disease! Using the same spoon and kissing can pass on rotten bacteria.

Filling types: 1) Composite (white filling): Aesthetic, the same color as the tooth, lasting 2-5 years, 2) Amalgam (silver filling): Durable, ideal for back teeth, lasting 10-15 years, 3) Porcelain filling (inlay/onlay): Aesthetic, durable, expensive, requires a laboratory. Nowadays, composites are most preferred. Amalgam or porcelain is recommended for large cavities on the back teeth.

Inlay/onlay are porcelain or composite fillings prepared in the laboratory. Its difference from the classical filling is that it is prepared from a dental mold in a laboratory environment and glued. It is more durable, adapts better to the teeth, and is aesthetic. It is especially preferred in large cavities or root canal treated teeth. Inlay: Limited to the chewing surface, Onlay: Covers a part of the tooth. It is completed in 2 sessions.
