Composite Veneers: Composite veneers involve the application and shaping of thin composite resin layers onto the tooth surface to enhance dental aesthetics and correct cosmetic imperfections. This aesthetic procedure is used to correct color, shape, and size discrepancies or close gaps between teeth, often considered a minimally invasive method.

Diastema Closure: Diastema closure with composite involves the addition of composite material in appropriate color and form to the teeth to close gaps. The procedure is an aesthetic treatment usually completed in one session through proper planning.

Esthetic Fillings: Esthetic fillings are dental restorations used to correct small cavities, cracks, stains, or tooth gaps to enhance dental aesthetics. Typically, a colored material called composite resin is used. This material is selected to match the tooth color and applied to the tooth surface to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance.

Bonding: Bonding is a type of aesthetic filling procedure commonly used to correct minor flaws in the tooth. During this procedure, the dentist first prepares the tooth surface lightly, applies a special adhesive (bonding agent), and then corrects the shape and color of the tooth using composite resin material. This method can be used in almost any part of the teeth and is usually completed in a single visit.

Fiber Fillings: Fiber fillings provide high strength and durability due to their fiberglass content. This material is often preferred over traditional composite fillings for dental restorations to preserve the original structure of the tooth and provide a durable solution.

Rubber Dam Application: Rubber dam application is an isolation method used in dentistry. In this method, a thin rubber sheet called “rubber dam” is stretched around the tooth to be treated. The rubber dam isolates the tooth, preventing saliva, blood, and other external factors from reaching the tooth during the procedure. This provides a more hygienic working environment, prevents contamination of materials used during the procedure, and enhances treatment success. Rubber dam application is commonly used in procedures such as fillings, aesthetic canal treatment, and similar dental treatments.

Bleaching: Teeth whitening (bleaching) is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at enhancing dental aesthetics and achieving a whiter appearance for the teeth. This procedure is commonly used to lighten discolored or stained teeth. There are two main types: home bleaching and in-office bleaching. In addition, another bleaching method commonly used in certain cases is intracoronal bleaching, which is frequently applied to teeth with root canal treatment.

Metal-Supported Porcelain: It is highly durable and sturdy due to the metal support it contains. It can be used comfortably, especially in cases of extensive tooth loss, serving as a bridge in large gaps.

Zirconium Crown: Zirconium coating is a robust type of dental coating used as an alternative to metal-supported porcelain coatings. It is made by transforming and firing pure zirconium ceramic. Its aesthetic features are higher compared to metal-supported porcelain coatings.

All-Ceramic Crowns (Emax): These are the most advanced coatings in terms of aesthetics, consisting of porcelain either reinforced with porcelain-containing substrates or entirely reinforced in block form.

Veneers: Veneers are thin, custom-designed porcelain restorations applied to the front surface of teeth. This method is used as an aesthetic dental treatment to improve the color, shape, position, and appearance of teeth. Veneer application is a preferred dental procedure to enhance the appearance while preserving the natural structure of teeth.

Bridge: Dental bridges are one of the treatment options for tooth loss. These prostheses bridge the gap by receiving support from the teeth in front of and behind the gap, filling the void, providing function, and ensuring an aesthetic appearance.

Implant-Supported Porcelains: Implant-supported porcelains are specially designed porcelain dental coatings placed on dental implants. These coatings are used to provide an aesthetic appearance and function similar to natural teeth. Implant-supported porcelains are combined with implant technology to treat tooth loss and provide a strong, durable solution. There are two different options: screw-retained and cement-retained.

Full Dentures: Full dentures are a type of dental prosthesis used when all teeth in the mouth are missing. Applicable to the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, full dentures fill the oral cavity, supporting speech, chewing, and providing aesthetic support. This prosthesis is custom-made by a dentist according to the patient’s oral measurements and is usually removable.

Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are designed to complete missing teeth and are intended to treat cases of partial tooth loss. These prostheses can be removable and are supported by other teeth in the mouth. By offering aesthetic and functional solutions, partial dentures help treat multiple and long-term tooth loss.

Snap-On Dentures (Locater or Ball Attachment Dentures): Snap-on dentures are a type of dental prosthesis system used to fill edentulous areas. These prostheses, known as snap-ons, are made of metal or plastic and are attached to the denture with special attachments fixed to implants. Snap-on dentures provide a more secure grip by firmly adhering to natural teeth or implants through special attachments, offering an alternative to prostheses that constantly move and cannot fulfill their function properly. This type of prosthesis provides a more stable solution for patients experiencing issues with full dentures.

Hybrid Prosthesis: A hybrid prosthesis is a special dental treatment method that usually includes a combination of dental implants and fixed porcelain coatings. Porcelain coatings are mounted on a frame fixed to the lower or upper jaw, usually mounted on implants. Hybrid prostheses are used to treat tooth loss and significant tissue loss permanently and reliably, providing an appearance similar to natural teeth. This type of prosthesis generally offers high durability and functional advantages.

Toronto Prosthesis: A type of hybrid prosthesis that can be designed with different substrate materials. It was developed to overcome the problems of traditional implant-supported restorations and to benefit from their advantages.

Gingivitis: Gingivitis is a gum disease characterized by inflammation of the gums. It can occur due to factors such as plaque buildup, improper oral hygiene, or genetic predisposition. It manifests with symptoms like redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. Dental Cleaning: Dental cleaning is the process of removing mineralized plaque or tartar buildup on the surface of teeth by a dentist using special tools. This procedure should be performed at regular intervals to maintain dental health, prevent gum diseases, and improve oral hygiene.

Periodontitis: Periodontitis is a severe gum disease characterized by inflammation of the supporting tissues surrounding the gums. This condition manifests with symptoms such as gum recession, deepening of gum pockets, and damage to the jawbone.

Scaling and Root Planing: Scaling and root planing is a dental treatment procedure used for managing advanced gum diseases like periodontitis. During this procedure, the dentist uses special instruments to clean inflamed tissues under the gums and smooth the surfaces of the tooth roots. Scaling and root planing are considered effective treatment options for controlling the disease, restoring gum health, and preventing its progression.

Gingivectomy: Gingivectomy is a procedure used for gum contouring or improving the appearance of teeth. This procedure is typically performed comfortably under local anesthesia and involves a minor intervention to reshape the gum tissue. Used to enhance dental aesthetics or correct gum health, this treatment is usually characterized by minimal discomfort and a short healing period.

Pink Esthetics: Pink esthetics refer to the visual harmony and balance between the gum line and the teeth, where the gum tissue contour, gum color matching, and gum level adjustment procedures can achieve. Supporting the natural appearance of the teeth, pink esthetics help you achieve an aesthetically pleasing result when you smile.

Implant: A dental implant is an artificial root surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth or fill a toothless area. Typically made of titanium, these implants integrate with the jawbone and allow for the placement of a prosthesis or porcelain tooth on top.

Bone Grafting: Bone grafting in oral surgery is a surgical technique used to correct deficiencies in the jawbone or to regenerate lost bone tissue. The grafting process usually involves placing bone taken from inside the body or bone powder into the area where surgical intervention is performed. This method is used to increase bone support during jaw surgery, implant placement, or post-traumatic reconstruction.

Impacted Tooth Extraction: Impacted tooth extraction involves the removal of a tooth that does not erupt correctly, usually located under the gum or within the jawbone. This procedure may be performed to prevent the tooth from causing damage to surrounding tissues, causing pain, or being prone to decay.

All-on-4: “All-on-4” dental treatment typically refers to the application of a fixed prosthesis using four implants on an edentulous jaw. This method provides a solution to complete toothlessness by placing a prosthesis on four implants positioned in specific areas of the jawbone. All-on-4 is a preferred dental implant treatment protocol aimed at providing aesthetic and functional dental restoration.
