Cosmetic Dentistry: Enhance Your Smile and Boost Your Confidence
Overview
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. This field encompasses a variety of treatments designed to enhance the aesthetics of your teeth, correct imperfections, and provide you with a beautiful, radiant smile. Our expert dental practitioners in Turkey utilize the latest techniques and state-of-the-art technology to ensure stunning results and a high level of patient satisfaction.
Procedure Options
- Teeth Whitening: Professional treatments to remove stains and discoloration, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile. Options include in-office laser whitening and take-home whitening kits.
- Dental Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite resin that cover the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance, correcting discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments.
- Dental Bonding: A cost-effective procedure where tooth-colored resin is applied to the teeth and hardened with a special light, effectively repairing minor chips, cracks, and discoloration.
- Inlays and Onlays: Also known as partial crowns, these restorations are used to repair moderately decayed or damaged teeth, offering a more conservative alternative to full crowns.
- Orthodontics: Includes traditional braces and clear aligners (such as Invisalign) to straighten misaligned teeth and improve bite function.
- Gum Contouring: Reshapes the gum line to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile, correcting a "gummy" smile or uneven gums.
- Dental Implants: Permanent replacements for missing teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth, helping maintain facial structure and oral health.
