Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry aims to create ideal smile designs tailored to you by combining teeth whitening, orthodontics, gum treatments, and cosmetic veneers, applying both medicine and art.

Planning is carried out by combining your personal preferences with health and naturalness. First, you discuss your goals and expectations for your new smile with your dentist. How would you like your smile to look? Why are you dissatisfied with your current smile? By discussing these issues and perhaps looking at sample designs shown by your dentist, you will determine your style.

Metal-ceramic systems have been used in prosthetic restorations for approximately 40 years. Today, with the increasing demand for materials with better biological compatibility and aesthetic properties, metal-free ceramic systems have been developed. However, since ceramic material has low fracture and bending resistance, various methods are applied to strengthen ceramics.

The latest development in ceramic reinforcement is zirconia-based ceramics. Zirconia ceramics have high mechanical properties and are prepared using CAD-CAM methods, yielding successful results in restorations. Their white color also makes them the preferred choice for aesthetic designs.

Laminate porcelains are very thin ceramic materials used especially on front teeth. They are used on people who are dissatisfied with the shape and color of their teeth, have broken, worn, or overlapping teeth, or have diastema (gaps between teeth). It is one of the most conservative (protective) treatments that can be performed.

There is protection due to the minimal amount of tissue removed from the tooth. Removing an average of 0.3-0.7 mm of tooth tissue is sufficient. Veneers are prepared and bonded in the desired color and shape. They are very successful aesthetically due to their thinness and lack of metal. Laminate veneers have a unique ability to allow light to pass through, making the teeth they are applied to appear completely natural.
