Teeth whitening is the process of lightening the discolorations on the teeth with the help of chemical agents. Prof in Samsun Atakum. Dr. Professional teeth whitening treatment applied at İbrahim Duran clinic can be done with two different methods: office type (in a single session in the clinic) and home type (applied by the patient).

Office type whitening is a fast and effective method that provides 4-8 shades of lightness in a single session. Home whitening is applied for 1-2 weeks with special plates and gels prepared under the supervision of a physician. Both methods are applied safely without damaging the tooth enamel.

On average, the results last between 1-3 years. Professional teeth whitening is much more effective and safer than home-made products.

Pink aesthetics constitutes the gum-related part of smile aesthetics and is an indispensable element for the holistic beauty of the smile. Pink aesthetic treatment applied in Samsun Atakum is performed to regulate the gum level, improve the smile line and create a symmetrical gum appearance.

Problems such as gum growth, gum recession, asymmetric gum lines and excessive gum appearance during smiling (gummy smile) can be corrected with pink aesthetics. Thanks to laser technology, procedures can be performed in an extremely comfortable, bleeding-free and rapid healing manner.

Healthy gums are critical for the longevity of teeth. When pink aesthetics are combined with white aesthetics of teeth, patients get a perfect smile.

Complete dentures are removable dentures prepared for patients who have no teeth left in the lower and upper jaw. Prof in Samsun Atakum. Dr. Complete denture treatment applied at İbrahim Duran clinic restores patients' aesthetic appearance and chewing function.

Modern complete dentures consist of porcelain or acrylic teeth placed on acrylic or metal infrastructure. Prostheses prepared in accordance with facial features preserve the patient's natural expression and provide lip support.

Full denture treatment usually takes 4-5 sessions. Alternatively, implant-supported complete dentures can also be applied, and this method provides much higher retention and comfort than traditional dentures.

Vacuum prosthesis is a special type of prosthesis developed especially for patients who have retention problems in the upper jaw. Vacuum prosthesis treatment applied in Samsun Atakum has a special structure that works on the vacuum principle.

These prostheses hold on much more strongly thanks to the vacuum created between them and the palate, and there is no need to use adhesives. The upper jaw attachment problem, which is one of the biggest problems of traditional prostheses, is completely solved with vacuum prosthesis.

The construction of vacuum prostheses requires more precise measurements and more clinical sessions than traditional prostheses. The total treatment process is between 4-6 sessions.

The precision retainer denture is a modern prosthesis system that does not contain metal hooks and is attached to natural teeth or implants with precision retainers. Prof in Samsun Atakum. Dr. This treatment, applied at İbrahim Duran's clinic, offers an aesthetic appearance and high comfort together.

Metal hooks used in traditional prostheses can be aesthetically disturbing, especially in the front area. Since precision-retained dentures use special retaining mechanisms instead of hooks, it cannot be understood from the outside that they are dentures.

These prostheses are connected to the natural teeth or implants in the patient's mouth with a sensitive mechanism and provide a much more stable use. Treatment duration is usually between 3-4 sessions.

Porcelain bridge is the process of permanently restoring missing teeth by supporting the healthy teeth next to them. Porcelain bridge treatment applied in Samsun Atakum offers a fixed and aesthetic solution.

Porcelain bridge provides a much more comfortable and natural use than removable prostheses. There is no slipping or slipping problem while eating or talking. Zirconium-based bridges offer an extremely natural appearance thanks to their light permeability.

The treatment process usually lasts between 2-3 sessions. The lifespan of porcelain bridges is between 10-15 years. In addition, with implant treatment, a more modern solution can be offered in case of a single missing tooth without damaging the neighboring teeth.

Inlay and onlay are porcelain restorations prepared in the laboratory as an alternative to large fillings and protect the tooth tissue. Prof in Samsun Atakum. Dr. Inlay and onlay treatments applied at İbrahim Duran's clinic offer durability and aesthetics together.

Traditional fillings may be insufficient in large cavities or broken teeth. Inlay is placed inside the tooth, while onlay partially covers the tooth. Both methods protect the dental tissue and provide an aesthetic very close to the natural tooth.

Inlay and onlay treatment usually takes 2 sessions. Porcelain material is much more durable and resistant to color change than filling materials.

Dental implant is the process of preparing fixed prostheses on titanium screws placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Prof in Samsun Atakum. Dr. Dental implant treatment applied at İbrahim Duran clinic is the most natural and permanent solution for missing teeth.

Implants are placed in the missing tooth area without damaging the neighboring teeth and function like natural tooth roots. Prevents bone loss, fully restores chewing function and provides excellent aesthetic results.

Implant treatment is generally performed in 2 stages. In the first stage, the implant is placed in the jawbone and a healing period is waited (3-6 months). In the second stage, abutment and prosthesis are placed on the implant. The lifespan of implants is 20 years or more with proper care.

Implant-supported prostheses are fixed or removable prostheses that attach to implants placed in the jawbone. Implant prosthesis treatment applied in Samsun Atakum is the most comfortable and stable solution, especially for edentulous patients.

Adhesion problems, slippage and dislocation problems experienced in traditional prostheses do not occur in implant-supported prostheses. The prosthesis is connected to the implants with special mechanisms and provides high stability. The patient feels safe while eating, talking and laughing.

Implant-supported prostheses can be applied in two main types: fixed and mobile. Fixed prostheses are usually made on 4-6 implants and cannot be removed by the patient. Removable dentures are made on 2 or more implants and can be removed by the patient.

Seamless implant is a modern implant treatment applied without any incision or stitching in the gum. Prof in Samsun Atakum. Dr. Seamless implant treatment performed at İbrahim Duran's clinic is performed with millimetric precision thanks to 3D digital planning and surgical guides.

In this method, the implant is placed directly into the jawbone without opening the gums. Its biggest advantage is that it provides much faster recovery and minimal trauma. Postoperative pain and swelling are very minimal, and the patient can usually return to normal life on the same day.

Since the gum is not cut, there is no need to remove stitches and the recovery time is much shorter. Recovery time is usually between 3-4 weeks.

Short implant is a type of implant that is used in cases where the jawbone height is insufficient and does not require additional surgical procedures. Short implant treatment applied in Samsun Atakum allows patients to have implants without the need for additional procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifting.

Standard implants are generally 10 mm or more in length, while short implants are between 6-8 mm. Short implants can be used safely, especially in areas close to the sinus cavity in the upper jaw and in areas close to the nerve line in the lower jaw.

In this way, the surgical procedure time is shortened, the healing process is accelerated and the cost of treatment is reduced. The treatment process is usually completed within 2-4 months.

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure performed to eliminate losses in the jaw bone and create a suitable bone structure for the implant. Prof in Samsun Atakum. Dr. Bone graft treatment applied at İbrahim Duran clinic is of critical importance for the success of implant treatment.

After tooth loss, melting of the jaw bone occurs over time. This melting may cause there to be insufficient bone height and width for implant placement. Bone graft is used to correct this deficiency. The most preferred method is the autograft method, in which the patient's own bone is used.

The recovery period is between 4-6 months, during which the graft area is filled with new bone tissue.

Sinus lifting is a surgical procedure performed to increase the bone height of the sinus cavity in the upper jaw. Sinus lifting treatment applied in Samsun Atakum provides sufficient bone height for upper jaw implants.

Since the roots of the molars in the upper jaw are close to the sinus cavity, bone height may be insufficient after tooth loss in this region. In this case, it is not possible to place an implant. With the sinus lifting procedure, the sinus membrane is lifted up and a bone graft is placed underneath.

The procedure can be performed in two different ways: lateral approach and transalveolar approach. While the lateral approach generally requires a healing time of 4-8 months, the transalveolar approach gives results in a shorter time.

Jaw surgery is a broad field that includes the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies in the jaw bones and soft tissues. Prof in Samsun Atakum. Dr. Jaw surgery procedures performed at İbrahim Duran's clinic include extraction of impacted teeth, cyst and tumor operations, treatment of jaw fractures, orthognathic surgery and TMJ surgery.

Jaw surgery is one of the most comprehensive and specialized areas of dentistry. In modern jaw surgery, 3D imaging, navigation systems and minimally invasive techniques are used. In this way, procedures become safer, shorter and more comfortable.

Recovery time varies between 1 week and several months depending on the type of procedure.

Wisdom teeth (third molars) are teeth that usually appear between the ages of 17-25 and often remain impacted because there is not enough space in the jaw structure. Prof in Samsun Atakum. Dr. Wisdom tooth extraction performed at İbrahim Duran clinic is performed painlessly and safely under local anesthesia.

Embedded wisdom teeth; It may cause pain, swelling, inflammation, decay in adjacent teeth, and cyst formation in the jawbone. It may also cause teeth to shift in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. For this reason, it is recommended that wisdom teeth be evaluated under the supervision of a physician and extracted if necessary.

The procedure time varies between 15-45 minutes depending on the location of the tooth. The healing process is usually 3-7 days.

Teeth clenching (bruxism) is a condition in which teeth are clenched and grinded without realizing it, usually during sleep. Prof in Samsun Atakum. Dr. Bruxism treatment applied at İbrahim Duran clinic prevents tooth wear, reduces jaw pain and improves sleep quality.

Bruxism; It may occur as a result of stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, malocclusion and side effects of some medications. Long-term bruxism can cause tooth enamel wear, tooth fractures, gum recession, jaw joint problems and headaches.

In the treatment, a special night plate (occlusal splint) is first prepared to protect the patient's teeth. In severe cases, botox can also be applied. Additionally, stress management, psychotherapy, physical therapy and relaxation exercises also help treatment.
