The skill and experience of the dentist you choose can affect the outcome of cosmetic dentistry treatments. While some dentists, such as orthodontists, need additional training and special certificates to practice, there are no such requirements in cosmetic dentistry. Any dentist with a degree in dentistry can perform cosmetic dentistry procedures. Most dentists who offer cosmetic dentistry have taken continuing education courses in treatments and procedures.” To ensure that the dentist you choose is skilled in cosmetic dentistry, it is best to ask:

Before and after photos of treated patients

Patient references

Attended training and certificates

With today's youth and the importance given to appearance, cosmetic dentistry is becoming more popular than ever. While not many people naturally have perfect teeth, almost anyone can achieve a dazzling smile with the help of a dentist.

When it comes to conservative treatments, the treatments that come to mind are all of the procedures that protect the existing tooth structure and strengthen it. These sometimes consist of therapeutic procedures for dental caries, and sometimes aesthetic fillings made to the teeth.

In individuals with poor oral care hygiene, with the cumulative accumulation of bacteria in the mouth in the mouth, it starts on the irreversible enamel layer on the tooth and progresses to the lower layer of the tooth, the dentin or even the pulp, and starts with the deterioration of the tooth structure and sensitivity, causing widespread toothache and causing cavitation in the tooth. causes tooth decay. In the treatment of these, the earlier the dental caries are detected and intervened, the more the existing tooth structure is preserved. In addition, cavities formed at the contact points in the neighborhood of the teeth do not only damage the existing teeth, but also damage the adjacent tooth. In the treatment, the existing decayed part is cleaned and irradiated with composite fillings, and the existing lost dental health structure is put back in its place. In its early diagnosis, it is performed without the need for anesthesia.

It is an alternative treatment method of lamina veneers for people who are not aesthetically satisfied with the shape or form of their teeth. While the material in laminates is porcelain, Bonding treatment is made with composites. With bonding, deformities of the teeth, spaces between the teeth (diastema) and bruises on the anterior surfaces are treated aesthetically. It is done in a single session as the duration of the procedure. It can be considered as an alternative treatment of laminates in individuals with aesthetic concerns.

Fissure Sealent Application

Fissure sealants; It is a treatment method that prevents the formation of cavities and smoother chewing surfaces with fluid filling materials in order to prevent these formed recesses and protrusions from causing nutrient accumulation in the future and causing dental caries in individuals who have anatomically very deep and shallow anatomical indentations on the chewing surface of their teeth.

Sleeve Fillings

It is a treatment method used in the treatment of sensitivity caused by abrasion in the neck (neck) region of the teeth following gingival recession that occurs at the junction of the teeth with the gingiva or gingival recession due to hard brushing.

Porcelain filling is a filling method used to complete the missing tooth. With the development of technology, restorations continue to be made with a method called cerec. It is a filling treatment for the protection of healthy teeth in cases that have lost material and require crown application. It is more aesthetic and more useful than amalgam fillings. Porcelain fillings made in accordance with the color and form of the tooth is a very advantageous method as it preserves the natural appearance and structure of the tooth. It is especially applied in molars. Fillings made with the Cerec model are 47% more successful than the traditional method, according to research.

Porcelain veneer is a method frequently applied to patients for removing tooth fractures and gaps between teeth. The advantages of porcelain dental filling, also called inlay onlay filling, are as follows:

It is a fast application. It saves time as it is completed in two sessions.
It is longer lasting than composite fillings.
It provides gingival harmony to a great extent and protects the edge structure of the tooth.
Since digital cameras are used in the application of the filling, there is no margin for error.
In the applications of porcelain filling, the resistance is higher.
They are not affected by coloring substances such as tea, cigarettes and coffee.
They are more biocompatible than amalgam fillings.
It can be re-polished.
Porcelain tooth filling method is more aesthetic and visually compatible with other teeth than other fillings. It is easily cleaned and gives the patients the feeling that there is no filling in the mouth.

In the event that the teeth acquire an undesirable appearance as a result of yellowing or darkening due to various reasons in daily life, the application of teeth whitening comes to mind. Applications made to bring the teeth to an aesthetically beautiful and healthy appearance and to bring the tooth color closer to white are considered as part of teeth whitening. For this purpose, there are techniques that can be applied professionally in dentistry clinics, as well as methods that can be applied at home, such as whitening toothpastes and various chemical products available from the markets. The method recommended for each patient may differ, as the method of application, effectiveness and effects of each method in terms of dental health are different.

Teeth tend to lose their natural color in two ways. These processes can be summarized as follows:
External Discoloration: Due to chemicals that affect the tooth surface from the outside, such as coffee, tea, food dyes, smoking, yellowing or darkening of the tooth color may occur over time. For this reason, techniques targeting the tooth surface are more effective in teeth with external discoloration. They are usually seen in childhood, including the growth and development period of the tooth, with febrile illness, drug use, trauma to the tooth, infections, caries or aging. This type of color changes requires professionally applied techniques.

Implants are screws made of titanium that are used in the treatment of missing teeth and placed inside the jawbone. A dental prosthesis is placed on these screws. The advantage of implant treatment over other treatments is that adjacent teeth are not damaged. That is, adjacent teeth do not need to be cut. The implant acts as a tooth root and you can eat, talk and laugh like a natural tooth.

Implant treatment is applied to individuals over the age of 18 who have completed their jaw and face development. Before the treatment, whether the jaw structure is suitable for the implant is determined by X-rays. In diabetic patients, the disease must be regulated before treatment. In those who use blood thinners, the drugs are discontinued before the treatment. Those with osteoporosis can receive implant treatment after receiving appropriate treatment.

What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics; It is the specialty of the dentistry branch that diagnoses and controls the compatibility relations of mismatched and crooked teeth, tries to prevent this situation and treats it.

The treatment method is decided by considering the age of the patient for disorders such as the lower jaw being anterior or posterior. If the patient is in adolescence and the lower-upper jaw structure is behind, it is possible to treat it with orthodontic techniques. If the patient is an adult, the treatment of skeletal disorders is carried out in cooperation with orthodontics and surgery. Depending on functional disorders, for example; Jaw mismatch can be observed in cases such as mouth breathing. In a person who breathes through the mouth, the upper part of the chin will be narrow, so it will be in a V form.

Situations that should not be done and habits such as using bottle and pacifier for a long time, thumb sucking, nail biting can cause orthodontic disorders. These habits should be treated as early as possible.

The prevention of these habits at an early age is important for the completion of skeletal development.

Conditions such as the fact that the tongue is larger than it should be in terms of structure and the presence of extracted tooth cavities also cause gaps in the teeth. If the jaw structure to which the teeth are attached is small and the teeth are large; teeth do not fit in the jaw and crowding occurs.

Early or late loss of primary teeth can also cause crooked teeth. Instead of the milk teeth that fall out of the mouth prematurely, the permanent tooth in the mouth slides into this space. As the teeth that need to come out cannot find a place for themselves, crowding occurs.

What is filler?
We call volumizing substances filler and we often recommend it to areas with increasing volume problems with age and to wrinkles that have begun to deepen.
What is Botox?
It is a drug that helps to reduce or stop muscle movements in order to reduce the wrinkles formed by the movements we make with our mimic muscles. So fillers and botox are different things.

What are the common features of filler botox procedures?
These are processes that require expertise. Medical aesthetic procedures must be performed by a doctor.
Both are produced under sterile conditions in a laboratory environment.
They are administered in the form of injections.
They are among the non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures,
They are useful in reducing wrinkles.
They are useful in trying to prevent the formation of wrinkles.
Albeit rare, numbing creams may be needed before the application.
After their application, images such as slight redness and swelling are normal.
In both, it is important not to apply pressure to the treated areas after the application.
It is recommended that you go for a check-up after both applications.
What are the differences of filler botox procedures?
Fillers are in gel form, botox is in powder form.
Botox is diluted and used.
Fillers give volume. Botox does not give volume.
Botox is effective at the connection level of the muscles with the nerve and relaxes the muscles.
Fillers are effective by attracting water to themselves where they are injected and provide volume where they are.

While fillers are injected into the intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular and submuscular planes, Botox is injected into the muscle tissue as it is only effective on the mimic muscles.
Fillers can be used in almost every part of the face and body to give volume (under the eyes, temples, cheeks, chin). Botox does not give volume, it just relaxes the muscles (botox is also a drug used in the treatment of sweating due to its effect on sweat glands).
Fillers can also be injected into the wrinkles, that is, into the skin.
Fillers act immediately and you can see the effect and change after the procedure. It takes 4-7 days for Botox to take effect.

The tissues surrounding the teeth in every person are formed by the combination of hard and soft structures. In addition, these tissues are in a very important position for dental and oral health. As such, oral and dental health becomes a direct relationship with people's general body health.

Inflammation of the soft tissues of the gums is called gingivitis. However, if the inflammation progresses further and enters the process of spreading to the bone tissue in the lower part, this situation causes bone destruction. In such a case, the name of the disease appears as periodontitis. Both diseases that we have mentioned are called periodontal diseases.

Generally speaking, periodontal diseases can be controlled by stopping most of the time. However, the effort of the dentist alone is not enough to stop the disease. The patient should also help the dentist in this process and take care of mouth, teeth and gum care. The important thing in periodontal diseases is to destroy the bacteria in the mouth. Because the main cause of the emergence of diseases is bacteria.

Sweating Botox
Requirement of sweating botox application Sweating is a physiological event for the body. When we are stressed, in a hot environment or with hormonal effects, sweat glands in the body are activated. This situation also plays an important role in the water balance of the body itself, the body temperature and the moisture balance of the skin. However, the work of these sweat glands can sometimes be more than normal. This condition is called excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis. The most common areas of excessive sweating are palms, soles, armpits and forehead. Excessive sweating can be very uncomfortable for a person in public. Excessive sweating in these areas can cause the clothes to get wet and look bad. In particular, this situation can negatively affect both the social and business life of the person.

Underarm Sweating Botox
The underarm area is the area most frequently applied for excessive sweating. Underarm sweating occurs in everyone. But the problem is the excessive sweating of this area. Sweating botox application to these areas is the simplest treatment method. Botox temporarily stops or reduces the activity of sweat glands. The person feels comfortable in public in stressful situations or while giving a presentation.

Sweating botox under the armpit is simple. Armpits are cleaned. The sweaty area is framed. In necessary cases, the sweating area is determined exactly with the iodine-starch test. This area is then marked with 2 cm intervals. 3 units are applied to each area. In total, 1 vial of 100 units is sufficient for both armpits. If dysport is to be applied, 150-200 units should be applied. The event usually lasts 6 months. Repeated doses ensure the continuity of the effect.

Hand Sweating Botox
Just like under the armpits, excessive sweating of the palms and fingers is also an annoying condition. Getting everything handled wet or not even holding a pencil is an uncomfortable situation. This situation negatively affects the daily activities of the person in social environments.

Hand botox is similar to underarm sweating botox. With the iodine-starch test, the areas that sweat the most are determined on the inner surface of the hand and fingers. 100 units or 200 units of dysport are distributed to these regions. It is prepared in a 66% more diluted form compared to aesthetic applications. This diluted ingredient allows better penetration into the areas around the application point. The effect starts on Day 3 and reaches maximum effectiveness on Day 7. This activity continues for about 6 months.

Foot Sweating Botox
Foot sweating is also a separate problem. Excessive sweating can create a very uncomfortable feeling due to the smell and slippery feeling on the feet. This situation can cause a lot of trouble for the person, especially in shoeless environments, during home visits. Excessive sweating is seen on the feet, especially on the soles of the feet and the undersides of the fingers. The treatment of these areas is the same as in armpit and hand sweating botox applications. The administered dose, method of administration and duration of action are the same. Preventing excessive sweating in the foot area eliminates the person's hesitations in society and contributes to feeling more comfortable.

Forehead Sweating Botox
Excessive sweating in the body is not limited to the armpits, hands or feet. It can occur in any part of the body. Excessive sweating is most common in the forehead area. Aesthetic applications on the forehead are not very effective in reducing forehead sweating. Because the botox applied to the forehead is applied deeper, that is, into the eyebrows. Therefore, this application only affects the muscles, not the skin.

For those who sweat excessively, perspiration botox should be applied into the skin so that it affects the sweat glands in the skin.

Therefore, if it is to be applied to the forehead area for sweating treatment, the application should be made into the skin and in more diluted concentrations. In this way, excessive sweating on the forehead is treated. The application dose is 25 units and 75 units for dysport. The duration of the activity lasts up to 180 days.

Hollywood Smile is applied to individuals over the age of 18 who have completed their chin and face development.

Since the smile directly affects the facial character of the person, it should be specially designed for each patient to obtain a Hollywood Smile. The following points are very important during aesthetic tooth design:

Position of anterior teeth.
The size of the teeth.
face shape of people,
Color and shape of teeth.
Gum view.
Skin color and lips
