Frequently Asked Questions
Implant Treatments
Implant treatment is a dental treatment performed by placing an artificial tooth root in place of a lost tooth. Implants are made of biocompatible materials such as titanium and are placed in the jawbone, acting like natural teeth.
Implant treatment is a several-step process and may take several months to complete. The first stage is the placement of the implant in the jawbone. The second step is to attach an abutment to the implant. The final stage is the placement of the prosthesis. The duration of implant treatment may vary depending on the person's condition and treatment plan.
Implant treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia, so pain or discomfort is minimal. Some people may experience mild pain or tenderness in the area where the implant was placed, but this usually goes away within a few days.
Implants can last a lifetime with proper care and periodic checks. However, the durability of the implant depends on the person's oral hygiene and health.
Suitable candidates for implant treatment are people who do not have gum disease or other oral health problems, have adequate jawbone structure, and are in good general health. However, any person should be examined by a dentist to determine if they are suitable for implant treatment.
The cost of implant treatment may vary depending on the person's condition, the materials to be used and the complexity of the treatment. Implant treatment is generally more expensive than other dental treatments, but may be more economical in the long run. It is recommended to consult a dentist for more information on the cost of implant treatment.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a treatment method for correcting teeth and improving jaw structure. This treatment method is applied to provide a healthy appearance in the mouth with the proper alignment of the teeth and jaw structure.
Orthodontic treatment is applied to people who have abnormalities in the teeth and jaw structure. These abnormalities include crowding, crowding, gaps, and abnormalities in jaw opening or closing. Orthodontic treatment can be applied to children and adults.
Orthodontic treatment is done by the dentist. The treatment method may vary depending on the condition of the teeth and jaw structure. Usually, the dentist uses devices such as braces or clear aligners to align the teeth. These devices are used to control and regularly adjust the movement of the teeth.
Orthodontic treatment may vary depending on the treatment method and the person's tooth structure. Usually, orthodontic treatment can take between 1 and 3 years. The duration of treatment may vary depending on the condition of the teeth and jaw structure, the devices used and the complexity of the treatment.
Some people may experience mild pain or discomfort during orthodontic treatment. This pain or discomfort may occur during adjustment or replacement of braces or aligners. However, this pain or discomfort is usually mild and passes within a few days.
After orthodontic treatment, it is recommended to use a retainer to prevent the teeth from moving again. It can be done using devices such as retainers, braces or clear aligners.
Aesthetic Dentistry
Aesthetic dental treatments are procedures to improve the appearance or functionality of teeth. Some common aesthetic dental treatments include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, zirconium veneers, lamina applications and implants.
Teeth whitening usually takes a few hours. However, the duration of the teeth whitening process may vary depending on the treatment method and the current condition of your teeth.
Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain shells applied to the front of the teeth. These veneers are used to improve the appearance and functionality of teeth. Porcelain veneers usually require two visits: teeth are prepared and impressions are taken on the first visit, and porcelain veneers are placed on the second visit.
The advantages of zirconium veneers include durability, natural appearance, biocompatibility, longevity and protection of gum health.
Lamina applications are thin porcelain shells that are adhered to the front of the teeth. These shells are used to improve the appearance and functionality of teeth. Lamina applications are less damaging to your teeth as they are thinner than porcelain veneers.
There is no age limit for aesthetic dental treatments. However, some treatments should not be done before the development of the teeth is complete. For this reason, aesthetic dental treatments are generally not recommended before the age of 18.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a branch of medicine in which diseases and disorders in the teeth, jaw and mouth are surgically treated. These surgical procedures include tooth extraction, jawbone correction, implant placement, facial trauma repair and jaw joint surgery.
Tooth extraction is performed by dentists or oral and maxillofacial surgeons. With local anesthesia, the gum is cut to reach the root of the tooth and the tooth root is gently removed.
