Among the dental treatment methods, toothaches that make life difficult are generally applied due to caries. Treatment is carried out by direct medical application to the patient's discomfort. With the developing technology, general dentistry has also changed and developed. First of all, with the compensation of the functional loss offered to the patient, aesthetic and phonetic losses can be compensated. All treatments suitable for individuals are carried out by our specialist physicians.
Dental Examination
Dental examination; It is an examination performed by dentists and aims to determine whether there is a health problem related to both teeth and gums in the mouth. Every person, without exception, should have this examination regularly. In this way, it will be possible to identify existing problems at an early stage and to plan and implement treatments to solve these problems. As with all diseases, early diagnosis is also important for dental and gum diseases.
When you visit a specialist for a routine dental examination, you should definitely inform your dentist if you have any complaints about oral and dental health. Sometimes, mild bleeding while brushing the teeth or occasional aches and pains are ignored by people and the dentist is not informed. However, complaints should definitely be shared with the dentist, because a complaint that is considered insignificant by the person may actually be a harbinger of a problem related to oral and dental health.
Crown
Crown; It appears as a prosthesis applied on decayed or damaged teeth. It is also referred to as crown coating among the people. However, it is also called porcelain teeth. Crowns are used for various reasons. Many people choose crown treatment due to fractures or decay.
The crown completely wraps the damaged part of the tooth and causes the tooth to strengthen. People who prefer the tooth to look aesthetically beautiful can apply for crown treatment. Crowns can be made of ceramic or porcelain on metal.
Filling
Dental filling; It is the filling of the tooth with various materials for teeth that have lost their chewing function, do not provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance, cracked or decayed teeth. If the previously applied filling falls out and wears out, it may be necessary to have a filling again.
The dentist cleans and prepares the decayed tooth tissue before applying a dental filling. Then the tooth is filled with filling material. The purpose of the filling is to prevent further progression of the decayed tooth by closing the gaps.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is often seen as a painful procedure. Many people tend to postpone the treatment process. However, with modern methods, root canals can be treated relatively painlessly and comfortably after one or two sessions. Contrary to popular belief, people do not experience pain during root canal treatment. In cases where pain is experienced, it can be stated that this pain is caused by the infection in the area.
The aim of root canal treatment is to eliminate the pain that makes people uncomfortable. The treatment starts with effective numbing of the tooth and surrounding tissues and the session ends in an average of 45 minutes. Delaying the treatment process can lead to infection in the tooth root. This can lead to bone and tooth loss.
Tooth Extraction
One of the treatment methods that cause dentist and dental phobia in many people is tooth extraction. It is generally performed on teeth that cannot be recovered. Tooth extraction is performed on teeth that are shaking due to decay, advanced loss of material, gum disease. Tooth extraction is also performed in orthodontic treatments.
Impacted Tooth Extraction
Impacted teeth are teeth that are normally expected to erupt in the mouth but cannot erupt for various reasons and remain in the jaws under the gums or bone.
The wisdom teeth are the most commonly impacted teeth. Canines, premolars or extra teeth called 'surnumerers' may also be impacted in the jaw.
Impacted teeth that are completely in the bone and do not cause any discomfort to the person, do not cause damage to neighboring teeth and tissues, and have enough space in the jaws to come out in the mouth do not need to be removed.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Many individuals have impacted wisdom teeth. However, there are many people who are afraid of wisdom teeth extraction. Therefore, the number of people who do not go to the dentist or who apply after some problems is very high. The process of removing impacted teeth is a very simple method. With modern health technologies and developing medical science, dentists aim to minimize complications that may occur after the operation. People can generally return to their normal lives after tooth extraction.
Tooth Fracture Treatment
Tooth fractures are traumatic injuries that cover a large area in the mouth. Tooth fractures manifest themselves as small fractures or cracks on the outer surface. However, these fractures that occur in the image are sometimes not limited to a visible crack and affect the lower tissues of the tooth.
Fortooth fracture treatment, treatment is planned according to the tissue that occurs in tooth fractures. If the fracture in the tooth does not extend too far to the root side of the tooth, the broken piece is removed from there and the broken tissue is treated. If the fracture is observed up to the pulp, a combined treatment is performed with root canal treatment. If the fracture is partial, it is treated with a crown crown. If the fracture has progressed to the root, tooth extraction may occur. In such cases, a dentist should be consulted immediately.
