Dental Treatment-needs-to-know

Protection of oral health; It covers all stages from diagnosis to treatment planning and final result. Oral health in terms of function, phonation (speech) and aesthetics is a whole. After the diagnosis is made by radiological imaging methods, the patient is directed to departments such as scaling, prosthetic restoration, filling, root canal treatment, orthodontics and surgery according to his needs. White (teeth) and pink aesthetics (gums) are evaluated together. Therefore, when brushing, the gums should be brushed along with the teeth. It is necessary to place our toothbrush in the area where the tooth and gum meet and brush with circular movements. This circular movement continues by changing places as many times as the number of teeth the brush can clean. Not only the front surfaces of the teeth but also the back surfaces of the teeth should be brushed in this way. A toothbrush is insufficient for cleaning the interfaces. That’s why dental floss should be used. The process of achieving the desired smile can be a comprehensive restoration that will last for a long period of time, or it can be achieved in a few sessions in a short time, depending on the person’s preferences and problems. Components such as cavities, yellowing, differences in tooth lengths, and gum problems have occurred over time, but they are problems that can be corrected in a few sessions.

What is Aesthetic Dental Health?

Aesthetic dentistry; In some cases, there may be aesthetic problems that cannot be treated with fillers. In such cases, crowns (veneers) can be made with or without metal support (empress, inceram, zirconia). Sometimes, in order to solve aesthetic problems in the front area, more conservative treatments can be performed by removing only a certain thickness of dental tissue from the front of the tooth, which we call laminate. Apart from these, a new smile design can be obtained by restoring the interdental spaces (diastema) with special aesthetic filling materials without cutting the teeth. One of the latest applications of aesthetic dentistry is metal-free full ceramic crowns (veneers). It is a preferred treatment method for teeth that are cracked, broken and have a lot of material loss. Full ceramics, which can imitate teeth with their light transmittance, are the most preferred prosthetic materials today due to their natural and aesthetic appearance.
