OUR TREATMENTS

The general perception in society is that if you have edentulous areas after tooth extraction, you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. Your general health should be good for implant treatment. For example, uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, exposure to radiotherapy of the jawbones, smoking, alcoholism, and uncontrolled gum problems can affect the fusion of implants to the jawbone. Among these factors, the risk of failure is 2 times higher in smokers and approximately 3 times higher in radiotherapy patients. It is very important for implant treatment that your dentist knows your health status and the medications you use. Where and how the implants will be placed is decided after a detailed examination of the entire mouth-jaw system and dental functions. For this, devices such as intraoral models, special radiographs and computerized tomography can be used.

To understand endodontics; First of all, it would be appropriate to talk about tooth anatomy in general terms. The part of the tooth that is above the gum and visible in the mouth is called dentin. The part that is not visible in the mouth and is in the bone is called the root. Teeth consist of many layers. The outermost layer; It is the enamel layer that is seen above the gingival border. Below the enamel layer is a structure called dentin. The pulp tissue is located under the enamel and dentin, which are the outer tissues of the tooth. The pulp is the soft connective tissue that forms the living part of the tooth. It is also known as "the nerve of the tooth" among the people. During the growth and development of a tooth, the function of the pulp is to nourish the tooth. pulp tissue; With its ability to transmit pain, it informs that the tooth is damaged or inflamed.
 

“Another name for Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome is “Temporomandibular Joint Disorder”. Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMES) is characterized by pain in the jaw joint that can be caused by a variety of health problems. The temporomandibular joint connects the lower jaw to the "temporal bone" region of the skull, that is, to the anterior region of the ear. Certain facial muscles control chewing. Problems in this area can cause head and neck pain, face-ear pain, jaw locking, difficulties in mouth opening, difficulty in biting, and "click" or popping sounds during biting. Temporomandibular Joint; It is a whole made up of muscles, blood vessels, nerves and bones. We have 2 parallel joints, one on each side of our jaw.

Not satisfied with the color of your teeth? Many people think that healthy teeth are white. However, the color of our teeth is genetic, just like our hair color, eye color, and skin color. Wait, wait, I hear your voice, you say that my teeth were whiter in my youth, but their color has changed. You are right. Even though the color of our teeth is genetically determined, the colored foods we consume daily (tea, coffee, cola, wine, carrot, cigarette, etc.) always cause the teeth to become discolored. This color change also varies according to the structure of the tooth, the type of food consumed and oral hygiene. Some drugs used in childhood or excessive fluoride consumption may also cause tooth discoloration. Sensitivity may occur during and rarely after the whitening process. The dentist can correct this condition with the necessary treatment.
 

If your gums are very visible when you smile, if your teeth are not as white and smooth as you would like; most importantly, if you want a confident and more aesthetic smile, laminate veneers may be a good option for you. The most commonly used form of treatment in aesthetic dentistry, also called leaf porcelain, is veneers (laminate veneer). In this method, unlike other porcelain dental methods, very little enamel tissue is removed from the tooth and the tooth is less damaged. Leaf porcelains are produced from durable, colorfast and durable materials. These porcelains, which are very thin, permeable to light and do not contain metal, allow more aesthetic results. Thus, with a small intervention, a healthy and natural appearance is achieved in a very short time.

Orthodontics, a specialty of dentistry, is a branch of science that deals with teeth, jaw and facial complex in terms of normal structure and development, anomalies and treatment of anomalies. These are practices aimed at reducing as much as possible the problems that occur due to habits such as thumb sucking, lip biting, and foreign body insertion in the pre-school years, which is called the primary dentition period. Developing technology makes orthodontic treatment possible in adulthood; his smile with his own straight teeth makes people happier. In fact, dental treatments can be performed at almost any age; as long as the teeth and periodontium are healthy. However, anomalies involving the jaw bones can only be corrected by surgery in advanced ages. If a force is applied on the tooth with spring, wire or special tires, a movement occurs in the direction of the force.
 

When teeth are not cleaned properly, food residues that accumulate on and between them produce bacteria. These pus-like deposits, which we call bacterial plaque, are the chief culprit of dental caries and gingivitis, and they form tartar as a result of precipitation of saliva over time. The first symptom of gingivitis is bleeding in the gingiva. It manifests itself even more with color, deformities and bad breath in the gums. Tooth loss caused by gingivitis is much more than tooth loss caused by caries. First of all, it should be noted that healthy gingiva is light pink in color. It is firmly adhered to the tooth and bone and has a shiny - rough appearance similar to an orange peel.

All artificial formations in the mouth that replace aesthetic disorders or lost teeth for various reasons and meet the aesthetic and functional needs of people are prostheses. In general, tooth loss can occur as a result of not treating gum diseases. In addition, tooth loss occurs as a result of some accidents. For this reason, prostheses that will serve the same function as functionally and aesthetically healthy teeth should be made to replace the lost teeth. Thus, while the oral health, which has been lost to a large extent, is restored, individuals who have to live with missing or destroyed teeth in the society are also supported psychologically.
