Teeth Aesthetics

Today, with the increase in aesthetic expectations, the principles of smile design have gained importance. The concept of smile design refers to creating a beautiful smile by combining many scientific and artistic principles. The purpose of the revision for an aesthetic smile; To develop a harmonious and stable chewing system that includes teeth, gums, lips, muscles, skeletal structure and joints.
Smile design is planned by combining some personal aesthetic expectations of the individual with health and naturalness. Aesthetic judgments are not entirely objective criteria; When designing a natural smile, the dentist should also consider the subjective judgments of the patient's characters and lifestyle. When creating a smile, the dentist and his team should consider these criteria and combine them with their own artistic abilities and subjective ideas.

Hollywood Smile

The Hollywood Smile operation is an aesthetic dentistry practice that is inspired by the smiles of Hollywood stars, has some standards and is a trend all over the world. It is very important that the patient's expectations are correctly understood by the physician at the first examination.
After the examination, the design starts with taking the necessary x-rays, taking the photographs from different angles and the measurements of the existing tooth array. Every design is unique to that person and the goal is to create the perfect smile. While it is sometimes possible to achieve a perfect result with a single treatment method, it may be necessary to apply several treatment methods in order in some of our patients.
The standards that a Hollywood smile should have can be listed as follows;

It is desirable for the person to have a deep smile line, to show all the upper teeth up to the upper molars when he smiles, and to show some of the lower teeth.
The teeth should be aligned properly in the jaw arch.
The upper incisors should be more prominent than the other teeth, and the smile line following the cutting edge of the teeth should curve upward towards the posterior teeth and should be compatible with the lips.
Although the color of the teeth is white, the skin color of the person should also be compatible with the color of the gums.
During smiling, the gums should appear about 2mm on the upper jaw.
The midline of the teeth should be in line with the midline of the face.
The gingival zenith points should be at the ideal level.
The lip should be symmetrical.
The work that emerges as a result of the experience, knowledge and artistic skills of the team that makes all these arrangements should integrate with the physical and emotional characteristics of the person carrying the design.

IMPLANT

Dental implants are materials made of titanium that imitate the root of the born tooth that replaces missing teeth. Titanium is the most compatible material for the human body.
The implant is not a scary and difficult treatment as described by patients who have had bad experiences. In fact, it's easier than a simple tooth extraction. Local anesthesia is used and it is a completely painless procedure. It is an easier procedure compared to tooth extraction.
It can be applied in single tooth deficiencies, it is the most comfortable method for the patient in multiple tooth deficiencies and even total edentulism. Depending on the number of implants placed, porcelain veneers and bridges that can be glued or screwed on the implants can be made; It is also possible to plan removable prostheses that hold onto the implants with sensitive connections such as "snaps" that the patient can remove at any time, and thus do not come off while eating or talking.
Do you need an implant for every missing tooth?
If there is enough bone, dentists always prefer an implant to replace each lost tooth. However, in some cases, two implants can be placed spaced apart and a bridge prosthesis can be made on it. The number of implants to be placed is determined only after the dentist's radiographic examination.
What kind of method is applied if there is not enough bone in the area to be implanted?
The density, height and thickness of the bone in the area to be implanted are important. In cases with advanced bone loss, we can complete the treatment by creating bone areas suitable for the implant with grafting or sinus lifting.

How is implant treatment done, what processes does it involve?

Implant application is a simple application with today's technology. First, the area is anesthetized with local anesthesia, a slot is prepared in the place of the tooth that is not in the bone where the implant will be placed, and the implant is placed in this slot. After the implant is placed, the screws that will remain on the implant during the healing period are placed and the recovery period is expected. In order for dental implants to remain healthy against the pressures caused by chewing, it is necessary to fully fuse with the jawbone. This period varies according to the type of operation, region, age and health status of the patient. After the operation, a period of time is required for the construction of permanent prostheses. In case of bone deficiency, the waiting period may be longer for implants placed in newly formed areas. Afterwards, measurements are taken and the planned prosthesis is made.

Zirconium Crowns and Bridges

What is zirconium?

Zirconium is a white hard metal element. It is also used in dentistry in the form of zirconia (zirconium dioxide). Thanks to its light transmittance, it is aesthetically superior to metal-supported coatings. It is a biocompatible material suitable for patients who are allergic to metal elements such as Chromium Nickel. Metal supported porcelains are also gray in color with the metal used in the substructure of the porcelain and may cause gray discoloration on the gums. Zirconium substructures are in natural tooth color and do not cause gray reflections.

In which treatments are zirconia veneers used?

It can be used in the construction of all restorations (crown-bridge-inlay-onlay) in the anteroposterior region due to its light transmittance, resistance to breakage, and the ability to process aesthetic porcelain materials on it. The application area of zirconia, which is a material with superior aesthetic properties, durable and compatible with tissues, is quite wide.

How are zirconia veneers applied?

While zirconia veneers are being made, treatment is started by abrading existing teeth according to the type of restoration to be made and the condition of the tooth in the mouth. The patient's teeth are measured using a 3D digital scanner or conventional methods. A digital model of the tooth to be made is created on the computer and veneers are produced in zirconia scraping devices. It takes an average of 5 days to build. In this process, temporary teeth are placed in the patient's mouth in the same session with the impression taking to ensure patient comfort.

Is there any pain when making zirconia veneers?

In dental procedures performed under local anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain. After the preparation of the teeth is completed, the temporary teeth prepared in accordance with the measurements taken are placed in the patient's mouth on the same day, ensuring patient comfort in the process until the permanent teeth are made.

How long do zirconia veneers last?

A well-made zirconia coating compatible with oral tissues can be used for many years without any problems, provided that the patient pays attention to oral hygiene.
