Restorative dental treatments are modern procedures aimed at restoring teeth both aesthetically and functionally. Broken, decayed, discolored, or misshapen teeth can be brought back to a healthy and natural appearance through various methods. In dentistry, aesthetics and health are now addressed together, offering personalized solutions for each patient.

Aesthetic Fillings

Aesthetic fillings are made with composite materials in tooth color. They are especially preferred for treating cavities in the front teeth or repairing fractures. These fillings are light-cured, ensuring a natural harmony with the tooth. Thanks to aesthetic fillings, the natural structure of the tooth is preserved, and your smile remains intact.

In aesthetic fillings:

• A perfect match to tooth color is achieved
• Chewing function is maintained
• Minimal tooth substance is removed

Teeth Whitening

Over time, tea, coffee, smoking, and aging can cause teeth to become discolored. Teeth whitening aims to lighten these stains using special gels and light systems. Performed under the supervision of a dentist, whitening procedures brighten the smile without damaging the enamel.

Teeth whitening treatments are often completed in a single session and can lighten the teeth by several shades. Some temporary sensitivity may occur after the procedure, but it is short-lived.

Gum Aesthetics

Gum aesthetics involve assessing and reshaping the gums in terms of shape, level, and color to achieve an ideal appearance. Excessively visible gums, asymmetrical contours, or gum recession can negatively affect smile aesthetics. Laser technology can be used to correct such issues.

With gum aesthetics:

• The smile becomes more balanced
• Tooth lengths are equalized
• Gum health is preserved

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain shells applied to the front surface of the teeth. Since only the front surface is slightly filed down, the natural tooth structure is largely preserved. They are often chosen for issues like discoloration, gaps, or shape irregularities.

Advantages:

• Provide a natural tooth appearance
• Long-lasting
• Resistant to color changes

Metal-Free Crowns (Zirconia, Empress, Emax)

Metal-free crowns are increasingly preferred today for their transparency and natural look. Zirconia, Empress, and Emax materials mimic the natural structure of the tooth thanks to their light-transmitting properties. They are also biocompatible, making them compatible with the gums.

These crowns are ideal for:

• Front tooth aesthetics
• Cases with gum recession
• Patients with metal allergies

Smile Design

Smile design is customized according to a person’s facial shape, tooth structure, lip form, and gum harmony. The goal is to create an aesthetic, natural, and personalized smile. Issues like tooth color, shape, and alignment are addressed in a holistic plan.

When planning smile design, the following are considered:

• Tooth length and width
• Gum visibility
• Smile symmetry
• Lip shape and facial features

Digital Smile Design (Monolithic Zirconia)

Digital smile design is an aesthetic planning process performed with computer-assisted systems. The patient’s face and teeth are scanned in 3D and transferred to a digital environment. This allows the treatment outcome to be simulated in advance. Monolithic zirconia crowns are often used for their durability and natural look.

With this method:

• Treatment can be completed in a shorter time
• Both dentist and patient can preview the results beforehand
• A personalized, natural, and symmetrical smile is achieved

Inlay-Onlay Restorations

Inlay and onlay restorations are used for back teeth with large cavities or significant structural loss. Positioned between a filling and a crown, these restorations are made in a laboratory from precise measurements and then bonded to the tooth. They fit perfectly and are highly durable.

The difference between inlay and onlay:

• Inlay: Covers the inside of the tooth
• Onlay: Includes one or more tooth cusps

Both methods contribute to the tooth’s longevity.

Tooth Jewelry

Tooth jewelry is a delicate decorative procedure applied for aesthetic purposes. It is usually bonded to the surface of the front teeth with special adhesives. Real diamonds or crystal stones can be used. It does not harm the tooth and can be removed upon request.

Tooth jewelry application:

• Is painless and quick
• Can be applied as a permanent or temporary option
• Supports personal aesthetic preferences
