What is done in Aesthetic Dentistry?

Teeth whitening; Whitening of discolored teeth is the most popular subject of aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry. Tooth discoloration, especially in anterior teeth, disturbs the patient quite a lot. Teeth whitening treatments using gel techniques are widely used today. The whitening gel is applied to the teeth either at home or in the clinic by the physician. In the home technique (Home Bleaching), the whitening gel containing carbamide peroxide is applied by the patient himself with a soft plaque formed on the models obtained in advance. Studies have shown that home practice is more successful. In the technique applied in the clinic, a whitening gel containing higher concentrations of carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth in a controlled manner by the physician. This method responds faster than the home method. First of all, a more effective and successful whitening is obtained with home bleaching after the clinic.
Aesthetic Tooth Filling; It is the process of filling the tooth that is missing due to caries or other reasons with the aesthetic filling material closest to the real tooth appearance.

Smile Design; Today, many patients apply with the intention of improving the appearance of their teeth in terms of aesthetics. The aim is to give the patient a natural appearance. All of the face, lips, gingival tissues and teeth are evaluated and analyzed. The patient is carefully evaluated to ensure natural aesthetics. The smile is examined with all its subtle nuances, and how to make a great smile is planned. Smile is one of the most important facial expressions and is the nonverbal parameter of communication. A beautiful smile is important in impressing people. Studies have shown that people who smile are more trusting than those who don't. A charming smile influences jury decisions, voting, recruitment and social communication. Attractive people are seen as more socially interesting, intelligent, and respected. Since the center of communication on the face is the mouth area, the attractiveness of the face and smile are closely linked to each other. An attractive smile not only affects people's perception, but also affects an individual's psychological health, behaviors and character traits. The ideal smile is also associated with the perception of health and success.
Inlays, Onlays and Overlays; They are restorations prepared outside the mouth and adapted with cement to the cavities formed in the teeth.

What is Aesthetic Dentist?

It is based on personal perception to a greater extent than in any other field of dentistry. The dentist factor is often the most important factor in success. Having a scientifically superior knowledge is not always enough by itself, in some cases the experience of the dentist is also important.

Aesthetic Dentist Like A Designer; Just as an architect considers various perspectives when designing a building, the aesthetic dentist should focus not only on function and form, but also on the patient's personality traits, gender, occupation and even lifestyle. An individual's smile is a reflection of personality. It is therefore important to communicate with the patient in terms of all aspects of treatment. Excellence has been characterized as 'having high or exceptionally good traits or skills'. While the aesthetic dentist strives for perfection, he aims for perfection as a result of treatment. As a result, the dentist will decide on the technique applied and the material used. Before starting the treatment, the quality of the material and its suitability for the patient are determined. If the design is successful, the teeth should not be a 'whiter-than-white' color or have an excessive length that can be seen from miles away.
