Esthetic Dentistry
What does dental aesthetics mean?
The perception of aesthetics is different for each individual. Aesthetic dentistry is governed by certain rules. However, since aesthetics is subjective, cooperation between the patient and the dentist is necessary to achieve the desired result.
Is aesthetic dentistry an expensive dental procedure?
It can be, but not necessarily. Often, there are various solutions to the same problem at different costs. A short tooth can be restored to the desired size through different approaches: with adhesive bonding, with grinding and porcelain veneer, with all-ceramic coverage, or even a metal-ceramic crown. These different approaches come with different costs! Our clinic’s philosophy is to use the most conservative interventions possible!
Are there different theories about aesthetic dentistry?
Each clinic has a different philosophy when it comes to practicing dentistry. Aesthetics is, by definition, a matter of different approaches! In our clinic, aesthetic procedures cannot be performed without treating gum diseases (periodontal diseases) and tooth problems (cavities).
The second approach is to minimize intervention as much as possible. Teeth that are filed down are not restored to their natural state. Filed teeth can develop sensitivity, pain, and may require endodontic treatments. Therefore, small orthodontic movements, but crucial, combined with adhesive techniques, form our basic approach. This is an approach that does not aim to create fake Hollywood-style smiles! Of course, when necessary, more advanced techniques are essential due to other problems…
