With new dental treatments, we do not only eliminate the health problems of the teeth. In addition to this, changing and improving the appearance of teeth and creating a beautiful smile has become one of our main goals as dentists. Now, our patients not only want their pain to go away, to be able to chew, to speak, but they also want to have a perfect smile. And through various options (smile design, aesthetic-cosmetic dental treatments, etc.) we can provide it to them.
To our patients who come to our dental clinic in Istanbul-TURKEY with cosmetic needs, the aesthetic-cosmetic dental treatment they need is decided and explained by our expert dentists after the detailed examinations and observations.
What is Bonding? In what cases is it used?
Composite is the main material used for bonding. Since composite is a tooth-colored and malleable material, the desired shape and color can be applied during treatment. We can prefer bonding to restore the aesthetic-cosmetic appearance of decayed, worn, broken, colored teeth and teeth that have minor anatomical problems.
Bonding Advantages:
-There is no age restriction.
-We can reach the desired dental appearance without the loss of natural, healthy dental layers (without abrasion, scraping, etc.) or with minimal adjustments.
-The treatment is completed in a single session.
-When problems such as breakage and discoloration occur, it is easy and fast to repair.
Ceramic Laminate Veneers (Leaf Porcelain)
Ceramic laminated crowns are thin veneers that we apply to the front surface of the teeth. With this aesthetic-cosmetic dental treatment method, we can eliminate the problems in the shape and alignment of your natural teeth, and superficial/permanent discolorations (which cannot be treated with cleaning and whitening). Another advantage of laminate veneers (in which we achieve extreme aesthetic-cosmetic results) is that, unlike standard veneer types, without the need to make reduction on all surfaces of the tooth, it can meet the maximum aesthetic expectation with minimum loss of tooth tissue (without any abrasion in some cases – called “no prep laminates”).
Zirconium-Porcelain Veneers/Crowns
-Zirconium can be used as an infrastructure material in porcelain veneers, there is also aesthetic-cosmetic dental treatment methods that can be applied in the form of full-zirconium veneers.
-Zirconium, thanks to its white color and light transmittance, allows us to obtain a high aesthetic appearance that is extremely close to the natural tooth appearance.
-Zirconium is also widely used because it is compatible with oral tissues (high bio-compatibility) and does not have allergenic properties.
-Zirconium crowns are an excellent aesthetic dental treatment alternative in cases which minor preparations will not be sufficient due to the structure, alignment, caries levels, existing damage of the teeth.
-Problems such as dark metal reflection and artificial tooth appearance, which are encountered in porcelain with metal infrastructure, are eliminated with zirconium crowns.
-Zirconium veneers, which can also be used as an over-implant veneer, allow us to give our patients who suffer from tooth loss the high aesthetic appearance they want.
Which Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Method Should Be Chosen for the Patient?
There are many criteria that we consider in our patients who apply to us with dental aesthetic concerns:
-Is there any damage or loss of existing tooth tissue?
-Is the patient’s oral hygiene-care enough? If not, can it be improved?
-Is there any alignment or position disorder in the teeth?
-Are there any missing teeth?
According to determining factors such as these, the appropriate aesthetic-cosmetic dental treatment method for our patient is decided by our expert dentist. As a result, in cases where there are multiple treatment options applicable to our patient, the advantages and disadvantages of these aesthetic treatment options are explained to the patient, and a healthy treatment process is ensured in an environment of comfort and trust that our dentists and patients decide together.
Oral Care After Aesthetic-Cosmetic Dental Treatments
Post-treatment oral care is not much different from routine ideal oral hygiene habits:
-Teeth should be brushed 2 times a day (morning and evening), for a minimum of 2 minutes, as described by your dentist.
-Dental floss should be used at least once a day.
-In addition to these, there are oral hygiene tools that should be used in some cases. Our dentists will prescribe the products you need and explain their use.
-Dental check-ups at least 2 times a year (every 6 months).
