Aesthetic Dentistry

Aesthetic Dental Work

Aesthetic dentistry is an important field of dentistry that deals with the reorganization of the mouth and dental area in terms of health and aesthetics. Its main theme is to create a healthy smile design. Smile design renews the personalized ideal smile with a healthy medical approach. The important thing is to create an aesthetic smile expression that suits the person within the medical rules. In addition to their main functions (chewing, speaking, etc.), our teeth aesthetically affect our self-confidence in our everyday lives. Our smile is a very important factor in our communication with people. Discoloration and deformities in the teeth can cause problems not without psychological disorders in the individual. Studies have shown that an individual who is confident in their smile is much happier and more successful in social, business and daily life. Our teeth reflect our smile and our smile reflects our energy. A beautiful smile means personal self-confidence.

The branch of dentistry that deals with this is called 'aesthetic dentistry'.

Aesthetic dentists must first get to know their patients and understand their expectations. It should not be forgotten that the treatment to be applied to each individual is different. Here, many issues such as the special recommendation of our patients, socio-economic level, and professional factors should be examined. After which physical factors come into play. The aesthetic dentist should design a smile that the patient will perceive as pleasant and attractive and correct the defective appearance, if any. The aim is to create an aesthetically acceptable and biologically compatible set of teeth for the patient. For this purpose, if necessary, the preliminary examination should be kept very long, the patient's diagnostic models and necessary imagery should be taken, and the expected result should be discussed with the patient fully and clearly. Aesthetic dentistry is a very sensitive scientific study. Health should not be compromised in order to provide the ideal appearance. Aesthetic surgeons and aesthetic dentists continue their work within certain medical rules. Below are the factors in aesthetic regulation.

There are certain angles and proportions present in the mouth, face and head. When treatment is performed according to these rules, it is almost guaranteed to achieve an aesthetic appearance. However, we would like to point out that aesthetics is a relative concept and not everyone's aesthetics may be the same. For example, while I find person 'A' very beautiful, someone else may not find him/her beautiful at all. Therefore, understanding the patient's expectations is the most important criterion in aesthetic dentistry.

As a result, the dentist will decide on the technique and material used. Before starting the treatment, the quality of the material and its suitability for the patient should be determined. The ability to make sound decisions, the desire to improve their technical skills and the effort to be constantly aware of the new products available should be combined with the natural aesthetic perception and vision, which is the most important feature that your dentist should have.

Factors Affecting Smile Quality

• Age
• Gender
• Facial features
• Lips
• Color, shape and alignment of teeth
• Gum health

Laminate Veneer

Laminates are indistinguishable from natural teeth because they require minimal preparation, are not stained with agents such as cigarettes, tea and coffee. Therefore, they have become the most ideal aesthetic treatment method applied today.

To Whom Can Laminate Veneer be Applied?

Those with broken front teeth,

In the process of eliminating level, color, differences between individual teeth.

Individuals with worn upper surfaces of their teeth,

Those with large fillings in their front teeth and dark-colored teeth,

People who are not satisfied with the color of their teeth (Tetracycline discoloration, etc.),

Crowded teeth (if the patient does not want orthodontic treatment),

The ones with gaps in their teeth,

Those who are not satisfied with the shape of their teeth (long, short, small, etc.),

To give a wide -U- shaped smile line and thus energetic and natural beauty,

In short, laminate veneers can be applied to anyone who wants to have a beautiful smile without damaging their teeth.

Full Porcelain Aesthetic Crowns Without Metal Support

Porcelain teeth have long become a preferred material in dentistry for reasons such as their closeness to the natural structure and durability.

Metal-free ceramics have been used as a result.

IPS - Empress II Crowns

It is obtained by compressing reinforced porcelain in special machines and firing at high temperatures. It is preferred especially for front teeth due to its very good light transmittance. For the back teeth, it is not resistant enough especially against chewing forces.

Zirconium-Based Bridges

Zirconium, a white alloy, is used as the substructure instead of metal.

What is Zirconium?

For many years, a metal substructure was used under the porcelain tooth for durability in porcelain applications. With the application of zirconium, which has been used successfully in other fields of medicine, instead of porcelain metal in dentistry, a new application area has been available.

The success of the material has been proven in the medical industry. As a result of the research that started in 1988, clinical applications have been started all over the world since the beginning of 2002. Thanks to this new application, the aesthetic concerns that occur in metal-ceramic and full ceramic restorations are absolutely eliminated.

Where can it be Used?

• Single tooth crown restorations
• Various bridges
• Implant crown-bridge
• Zirconium has been used for various purposes in various parts of the body, especially in hip joint prostheses, and it has been determined that it has no side effects or harm and does not cause any allergies
• Zirconium is an element that is resistant to high temperatures and impacts. It is lightweight, does not conduct heat and electricity.
• It is also a healthy material that does not cause a bad taste in the mouth, gum problems and bad breath.
• A wax model of your teeth is prepared on the model prepared with the impression taken from your teeth. A computer-aided device (CAD) prepares the structure of your teeth by abrading the zirconium oxide block in line with the information it receives from this model. The created block is molded with a special size and technique that penetrates into the structure in accordance with the color selection. The stained structures are given a tooth form by placing ceramics of the appropriate color on it and the work is completed with polishing.

Compatible with the Body and Teeth in Every Way

The ceramic placed on a zirconium oxide substructure reduces the adhesion of food waste and microorganisms to the tooth surface. Thus, good oral hygiene can be ensured. Zirconium oxide does not conduct heat, so your teeth do not become sensitive when you take hot and cold foods.

One of the most important features of zirconium is its antibacterial properties. Bacteria cannot settle and reproduce in the zircon structure.
