Aesthetic Dentistry

Nowadays, the removal of dental problems is related to the appearance of the tooth rather than dental disease. Aesthetic dentistry, with the combination of several branches of dentistry, aims to make the teeth look healthy as well as aesthetic in appearance. With the developing technology, the perception of aesthetic teeth becomes widespread and its development is ensured. As it is known, the appearance of the teeth also affects the physical outlook and social environment.

In aesthetic dentistry, the aesthetic appearance is determined according to the person’s mouth structure and dental needs. Thus, the methods and the applications in aesthetic tooth appearance vary from person to person. Apart from the mouth and teeth structure of the person, the physical appearance and facial features are very important. The most ideal aesthetic appearance is obtained according to facial features.

Aesthetic Dentistry Methods

As we mentioned, the applications in the field of aesthetic dentistry are based on the physical appearance of the person. The treatments and procedures we apply to provide an aesthetic appearance are performed by specialist dentists in our clinic. The aesthetic dentistry methods we apply are as follows:

  • Adhesive systems; It covers the changes made on the tooth with forms such as shape, size, and color. These applications are generally seen as tooth bonding processes. It covers applications such as repairing broken teeth, filling interdental spaces, and whitening tooth color with adhesive processes. This method is mostly used in aesthetic dentistry.
  • Composite filling; It is the most natural-looking filling type among dental fillings. It is also frequently used in aesthetic dentistry. The process is completed in a short time and a well-groomed tooth appearance is obtained.
  • Porcelain veneer is also a method that is widely used in the field of aesthetic dentistry in cases where there is more than one missing tooth. In addition, we can apply more than one type of porcelain tooth veneer in the form that will be most suitable for the teeth.

Aesthetic Dentistry Scopes

Today, as in every field, aesthetics is a separate branch in dentistry. Aesthetic dentistry covers many processes and fields such as smile aesthetics, gum aesthetics, teeth whitening, porcelain laminate applications, implant applications. Our specialists choose the most suitable one among all these methods with your participation and obtain the aesthetic dental appearance as you want.

Sports Dentistry

Sportsmen may be hit many times throughout their lives, depending on the sport they do. This is the branch of sports dentistry that deals with sports and exercise-related dental injuries, prevention and treatment of oral diseases.

If the severity of the blows that the sportsmen are exposed to is low, it causes heat increase in the body and injuries to the soft tissues. Most of the severe traumas experienced by sportsmen include injuries to the jaw and face. Impacts on the jaw and face can cause displacement and fractures in bones and teeth.

We can say that the most common injuries in the face and jaw area in sports accidents are dental injuries. Generally, this type of injury is seen in close combat sports, sports using sticks, football, basketball, skiing and racquet sports. In such cases, sports dentistry develops solutions to the health problems encountered.

Fractures in the jawbones and teeth are quite common in accidents and injuries in the face area. As a result of the injury, the upper jaw and usually the upper incisors are damaged. Fractures on the face and increased intracranial pressure may occur. Serious neck and brain injuries are also among sports injuries.

Sports Injuries

We have all seen the protection apparatus given to the sportsmen to put on their teeth in a boxing match or an American football match. Appliances produced to prevent such accidents in sports activities and to protect people from injuries are called ‘mouth guards or protective mouth guards. By keeping these mouthguards in their mouths, sportsmen protect their teeth, tongue, lips, cheeks and jaws against incoming blows. Another most important feature of this mouth guard used by sportsmen is that it creates a gap between the upper and lower teeth, preventing possible concussion of the brain, injury, and possible death.

Scope of Sports Dentistry

Sports dentistry continues studies for the methods of protection from maxillofacial injuries (it is a separate field of specialization for postgraduates in dentistry, it is the science that repairs the head, face and mouth, teeth, gums, and neck related diseases functionally or aesthetically). It should not be forgotten that it is as important to prevent possible situations as to treat injuries or traumas in sports dentistry.

Bad Breath (Halitosis)

The name of the ugly smell in the breath that comes from the mouth and disturbs the person and the people around him is bad breath (halitosis). It affects the communication between people negatively and causes the person to have a self-confidence problem. This situation, which seems like a minor problem, unfortunately, alienates people from social life and isolates them gradually.

Causes of Bad Breath

After dental caries and periodontal diseases, people most often refer to their dentists for complaints about bad breath. This problem, which can be seen at any age and in everyone, can be the harbinger of many diseases. These mostly physiological causes can also be pathological from time to time. Reflux and postnasal (nasal) discharge, poor condition of implants and prostheses, dental caries, bad fillings, cleft palate, tonsil diseases, gingival diseases, mucosal disorders, fungi and infections, tongue and tongue root layer are the main oral causes that create bad breath. In addition, a decrease in saliva, dry mouth and, unfortunately, oral cancers can also cause this negative situation.

Halitosis, which can be seen at almost any age and in everyone, is a condition that adults may encounter every morning at some point in their life. In addition, studies show that men are three times more likely to experience this annoying condition than women. As the age progresses, bad breath (halitosis) increases with the decrease in the fluidity of the saliva. The increase in diseases is also a reason for this.

Bad Breath Treatment

In recent years, the knowledge about the frequently encountered problem of bad breath has gradually increased. As a result of research in this direction, volatile sulfur compounds produced by bacteria in saliva and breath have become directly measurable. As a result of the research, the sources of odour and their reasons could be revealed more clearly.

Here are some suggestions as main ways to deal with this disturbing situation. First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to our oral hygiene. We should not neglect to brush our tongue while brushing our teeth regularly. We can also use dental floss to clean the residues left between the teeth that we can’t get rid of just by brushing. If there is inflammation in our gums, we must consult a dentist and have the appropriate treatment. Chewing a mint gum or taking a clove in your mouth after meals will also help.

Special Treatments

In dentistry, the special treatments performed in the clinic can be listed as follows:

  • Implant
  • Orthodontics (braces)
  • Periodontology (gum)
  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Digital Dentistry
  • Smile Design
  • Lamination
  • Aesthetic Dentistry
  • Zirconium
  • 3D Tomography

Implant

Implant treatment, which is one of the first applications that come to mind when it comes to dental treatments, is the placement of titanium screws into the jawbone to replace the missing teeth. These screws fixed to the jaw act as a tooth root. A dental prosthesis is placed on the placed screws. Today, this method, which is applied to many patients who have teeth loss, provides high patient satisfaction. The jaw structure of the person to be treated with this special treatment should be fully developed. For this reason, the age limit for the implant is 18 years.

Orthodontic Treatment (Braces)

Correction of crooked teeth is a branch of dentistry dealing with the lower and upper jaws. Poorly positioned teeth can cause discomfort in people and are difficult to clean. When crooked teeth are not cleaned well, there is a risk of developing gum diseases and premature loss of teeth due to dental caries. According to the problem experienced; It can be treated by using braces, special fixed applications, fixed placeholders, movable placeholders, jaw expander or mobile reinforcers.

Periodontology (Gum)

Bacteria in the mouth can cause tooth decay as well as inflammation in the gums. This inflammation, which causes redness or bleeding in the gums, can also turn into resorption in the bone surrounding the teeth over time. Sensitivity and shaking of the teeth due to gingival recession cause discomfort in daily life.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

It is the diagnosis and surgical treatment of all soft tissues within the mouth (tongue, cheek, lips, salivary glands, etc.), dental disorders, all kinds of diseases of the jaw and jaw joint and related diseases.

Digital Dentistry

In CAD-CAM technology; The size of the teeth is taken by (digital) photographing with the help of a camera. A design is made on the computer environment on this measure with a precision of 10 microns (one-hundredth of 1 mm).

Aesthetic Dentistry

These are procedures such as porcelain laminates, zirconium crowns, composite laminate & bonding and bleaching performed in the field of aesthetic dentistry.

Fluoride Application

Fluoride is an element that prevents tooth decay by strengthening the structure of the teeth. It is an element found in the water we drink, in the air, and foods such as meat, fish, eggs and tea, and it increases the resistance of the tooth against caries. This element is found in trace amounts in toothpaste and contributes to the protective aspect of the pastes. Fluoride application aims to prevent, slow down or completely stop dental caries in children, adolescents and young people. For this purpose, it is the process of applying agents such as varnish, gel, the solution to the surface of the teeth.

Tooth enamel is a structure that covers the tooth. Since tooth enamel is not fully mature when it first starts to erupt, newly erupted teeth are much weaker against caries and more prone to caries formation. Here fluoride helps to strengthen this tooth enamel and protects teeth against acid attacks. It also fights the formation of new dental caries. Fluoride tablets are also available for children. However, nowadays, the application of fluoride finds it more appropriate to take the fluoride locally under the control of a dentist instead of taking it by mouth in a systematic way. Professional surface fluoride application can only be applied by dentists. This is a protective method. It is applied by your dentist in the form of fluoride gel at intervals of 3-6-12 months in the clinic environment and on all surfaces of all teeth.

How is Fluoride Application Made?

The dentist can administer fluoride therapy in several different ways. The teeth are dried so that the fluoride does not dilute. It is then applied to the tooth surface in the form of gel, foam or varnish. Fluoride can be applied directly to the teeth with a brush. Or it can be applied between 1 and 4 minutes with the help of a spoon.

When and How Often Should Fluoride Application Be Made?

It is applied during the development period of teeth in children. Flour gel application can be effective for 4 to 6 months, depending on the caries risk group your child has. At the end of these periods, it must be repeated. However, your dentist should decide on the frequency of these applications and which type of application to choose, with a special program that he/she will prepare for your child. It is not recommended to use it for a long time, side effects may occur over time. In addition to all these, mouthwashes containing fluoride will also add help. You can also apply fluoride in our clinic accompanied by a specialist doctor.

Fissure Sealer

Your child can have regular tooth brushing habits thanks to the guidance of their parents. However, in the deep pits that the brush bristles cannot reach, dental caries may occur over time. During the period when they start brushing, especially for children who cannot easily brush their molars regularly, caries usually starts from the back teeth first. The pits on the surfaces of these deciduous and permanent molars are called fissures. These fissure bruises account for 80-90% of all caries seen in children. Fissure sealant (dental graft) is used to stop the progression of caries in these teeth and to protect the teeth against caries.

What is Fissure Sealant?

Fissure sealant is a protective filling applied to the fissure areas of the teeth. Fissure applied to a decayed tooth surface is applied after the tooth is freed from caries and cleaned. This method, which is mostly used in children, is applied in a short time.

It requires minimal compliance as it is a painless procedure. This application can be applied to the tooth without local anesthesia. After it is done, there is no harm to the tooth. The process of covering these pits on the chewing surfaces of the patient’s teeth is a very effective protective application that ensures that the area is closed and remains caries-free for a long time.

What are the Benefits of Fissure Sealers?

By closing the deep pits on the chewing surfaces, the access of bacteria to that area is prevented. The formation of caries at these points where bacteria can no longer enter is stopped. Owing to this process, it is possible to prevent surface caries, which constitutes approximately 70% of all caries.

A transparent or white colored fluid fissure can be used when light discoloration of the teeth begins. Otherwise, after the loss of substance in the tooth begins to occur, it will no longer benefit, and a filling will be required. This method can be applied to children’s deciduous teeth and the permanent teeth of adults. Since there will be no feeling of height in the tooth after the procedure, it does not give a feeling of discomfort. In addition, there is no numbness since anesthesia is not applied.

How Long Does Fissure Sealant Protect? Should I have it done all the time?

You will only need to do this once. However, you should go to your dentist every six months and have a check-up. Of course, wear, breakage or falling may occur over time. However, studies show that fissures can stay in their deepest parts and provide protection for years.

First Examination with a Pediatric Dentist

The first examination with a pediatric dentist is among the subjects that parents want to be informed about. Unfortunately, the incidence of dental caries in children and young adults is increasing day by day. One of the most important reasons for the increase in this rate is the changing diet habits at developmental age. However, malnutrition can also cause serious problems on oral and dental health along with various health problems. In order not to experience irreversible problems in adulthood, it is necessary to start protecting our oral and dental health at a young age. Our children should be taught the correct oral and dental health protection rules from an early age by their parents. But, as with every subject, expert opinions on this subject are very precious.

When is the First Examination with a Pediatric Dentist?

According to the World Health Organization, the first examination by a pediatric dentist should be done after the first tooth erupts, that is, usually between 6 months and 1 year of age. Pedodontists, who treat diseases in the mouth and dental tissues in children, recommend that the first dental examination of children be done until the age of 1 after the eruption of the first deciduous tooth. The recommendation made by these specialists, who also practice preventive dentistry, is generally interpreted as ‘too early’ by parents. But your child does not necessarily have to sit in the dental chair for treatment at an early age.

Being familiar with the tools to be used during the treatment is a preliminary preparation for the time to come for treatment. In addition, owing to the pedodontist you meet at an early age, you can prevent some problems that children may encounter during their developmental stages.

What is done in the examination performed with the eruption of the first tooth?

  • It is taught which brush is more suitable for your baby’s teeth cleaning and which paste to use.
  • Information is given on preventing the transmission of bacteria from mother to baby.
  • Until what age the bottle and pacifier use should continue, the harms of habits such as thumb sucking or lip picking, and the processes of development in the child’s mouth, teeth and palate are explained.
  • Parents are informed about the nutrition that can be done to prevent dental caries and how often you should visit the dentist.

Dear parents, do not forget that all the good habits given to your child at an early age are very important for dental care and health. For this reason, we should put your children’s dental health under the control of specialists from a young age to prevent future problems.

Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric dentistry is a branch of dentistry in which studies are carried out for the dental health, dental treatment, and protection of our children between the ages of 0-15. This department is also called pedodontics. Dentists who work in the branch of dentistry that studies and work on oral and dental health and treatment of children at the age of development are called Pedodontists.

Oral and Dental Health in Children

Children’s mouth structures are much different from adults. Due to these different dynamics in children, it is very important to have a separate branch of dentistry that deals only with children and their dental health. That’s why pedodontists, because of the training they receive, work as dentists who are devoted only to pediatric oral and dental health.

In addition to standard dentistry education, pedodontists also receive training in child psychology for at least 4 years after graduation. They continue their services with the education they receive on the growth and development of children. The duties of the pediatric dentist include dental caries treatment, tooth extraction, and fractures in the teeth. In addition, dental surface cleaning, oral and dental health education, fluoride applications to the tooth, covering the tooth surface with caries protective materials (fissure tooth vaccine), placeholder applications and many other treatments are the duties of the pediatric dentist. But the primary goal of pediatric dentistry is to help children have decay-free teeth.

Dentists take care of children with systemic diseases who need special care, as well as healthy children. Individuals with physical or mental disabilities also benefit from treatment and follow-up services within the scope of pediatric dentistry examination.

Working Scope of Pediatric Dentistry

-Applications such as identification and treatment of gum diseases seen in childhood are included.

Fiber Application

Fiber post is dental treatment. If there is no solid surrounding around the tooth and excessive mass loss has occurred, the treatment performed by placing fiber rods into the root canal is called fiber application. This application is used if there is irreversible damage to the tooth. Again, in cases where the jawbone is insufficient, this application is applied in prosthetic dental treatments, in the treatment of decayed or missing teeth where the filling will be missing. It is a process that comes into play after the root canal treatment is done. Post core, fiber post dental process, in other words, is used according to the extent of the patient’s tooth damage. The procedure is carried out professionally by dentists who are experts in their field in our clinic.

How is Fiber Post Application Made?

Tooth root canal treatment must be done before fiber application is made to the tooth. If the tooth mass is removed after the root canal treatment is completed and there is no problem in the tooth roots, fiber is applied. The canal and pulp chamber (the part where the nerves that provide the vitality of the tooth are located) are shaped by the dentist.

By taking the measure of the shaped canal, studies are started in the laboratory to make metal posts and core. Again, the process continues with the addition of fiber rods to the tooth tissue, which is measured and shaped by the dentist. These sticks, which are placed inside the root canal, are extremely reliable in terms of durability as they are used with an adhesive material.

After cleaning the excess parts of the adhesive applied to the formed channel and fiber rods, it is hardened with ray. The fiber post outside the root is covered with a filler and then reduced. The reason for the natural appearance after the process is the use of ceramic materials.

Advantages of Fiber Post Application

Fiber application, which is supportive for dental treatments, is very advantageous for both the patient and the dentist.

-It allows deep caries to be treated without losing the root of the tooth.

-With the help of a fiber rod, the resistance of the tooth is increased by taking support from the root of the tooth.

-Possible tooth loss is prevented by this method.

– It stops the infection in the teeth, prevents the progression of the damage.

-It also protects the tissues at the root tip in case of infections that occur in the tooth.

-After this procedure, the tooth regains vitality.

-It improves the quality of life as it will prevent patients from being toothless.

Root Canal Treatment

If your tooth is infected or very decayed, root canal treatment is applied to your tooth. With this treatment method, the tooth does not need to be extracted. Thus, the tooth is saved. This treatment process, which is essential for your dental health, is carried out practically by our expert dentists. You can easily use your best-treated tooth for many years.

Painless Root Canal Treatment

During this treatment to your tooth canal, you may think that there will be a pain. But there is no painful condition. You will feel very little pain during root canal treatment. Since our dentists apply local anesthesia, your pain sensation will be minimized. It is very natural for you to be sensitive during the procedure. This sensitivity is also due to damage to the dental pulp.

Root canal treatment is the most used method for tooth salvage or removal of abscess in the tooth. If you have severe pain in your tooth before the treatment, it will be normal to experience very mild aches after the treatment. But if you still feel uncomfortable with the pain, you can call our dentist and ask for help.

There will be points that you need to pay attention to after your treatment is finished. Let’s list the points you should pay attention to:

  • Sometimes this treatment does not end in a single session. In such a case, you should try not to use your teeth until your next session. In addition, you should not consume very hot or very cold foods to avoid pain.
  • We recommend that you do not eat anything for the first two hours after the treatment.
  • Even if your treatment is completely over, it will be good to avoid very hot or very cold foods for a few days.
