What is Aesthetic Dentistry?  

Aesthetic dentistry is a field of dentistry that includes all restorative treatments applied when necessary to achieve a better smile. Teeth are in direct line of sight and directly affect the appearance of the person. For this reason, most individuals care about the appearance of their teeth. There are many restorative treatment options, including smile design, so that the person can smile freely and confidently.

What are Restorative Treatments?

• Composite Fillings

Lost dental tissues can be restored with tissue filling materials. After the decayed tooth tissue is cleaned, the tooth is restored with composite materials, also known as white filling among the people, which are not noticeable thanks to various color options compatible with the tooth color.

• Tooth Whitening

Teeth whitening treatments can be applied to the teeth of individuals whose tooth color is congenitally dark or subsequently yellowed for different reasons. The teeth and gums of the tooth must be healthy for teeth whitening treatment to be applied. In home whitening treatment, a special whitening gel is given to the patient by the dentist and the patient applies this gel himself at regular intervals. In clinical whitening treatments, a special whitening gel applied to the teeth is activated with a light device by isolating and protecting the gums in a clinical environment. After the treatment, teeth are discolored between 2-4 tones.

• Diastema (Gaps Between Teeth) Treatment

Gaps between the teeth due to size differences in the teeth can be practically corrected with aesthetic composite restorations.

• Bonding the Fragment in Place in Fractured Teeth as a Result of Trauma

In cases of broken teeth as a result of trauma, the technique of gluing the broken piece in place with special methods is applied in order to restore healthy chewing functions without extracting the tooth, to restore its aesthetic appearance and to prevent negative effects on speech functions.

• Tooth Veneer Treatments

Poor eating habits and failure to provide the necessary care to the teeth cause tooth wear and even tooth loss over time. Tooth loss can also occur due to genetic reasons. In such cases, dental crown treatments can be applied with materials compatible with gums such as porcelain and zirconium.

• Gum Aesthetics

Gum health is as important as dental health. Healthy gums can lose their natural pink appearance for many reasons. However, in some people, the gums may be too exposed during smiling (gummy smile). In such complaints, gum color can be restored to a healthy appearance with a small laser procedure or gum leveling treatment can be applied.
