Aesthetic Dentistry

Aesthetic dentistry Antalya Turkey is not only about the esthetic display of the teeth but also about the color and display of the gingiva, the position and form of the lips, and the appearance of the smile inside the person’s whole face. This is the main reason why current smile design treatments not only interest the aesthetic dentist, but also the periodontologist, a dermatologist or possibly a plastic surgeon. Dental and periodontal treatment affects the person’s smile, facial esthetics, psychology and social interactions.
 
Some factors that affect the person’s smile are the smile line, the harmony of the teeth form and the person’s facial structures. (Women have more rounded edges with teeth and an upward curvature of the smile line. Men have more cornered teeth edges and a straighter smile line.)
 
 
One of the most important features is the golden ratio. This is both about the ratio of the teeth compared to the face, and the ratio between the two central incisors and the lateral incisors or the next teeth in the smile line. For instance, if the width of the central incisor is 100 units, the lateral incisor’s width should be estimate 60 units, and so on. Also, the ratio between the teeth’s width and length are important with the golden standard.
 
General aesthetic concerns of patients are eroded (worn), stained or colored, small, fractured, distanced, crowded teeth. Some of the treatment are: Porcelain laminate veneers, zirconium and empress crowns, bleaching and whitening, orthodontic treatment, esthetic fillings, bonding and laser dentistry.
Can I get a natural look with Laminate Veneers?

Yes, you can get a completely natural and aesthetic look with Laminate Veneers. Porcelain laminates provide a very natural look because they reflect light like real teeth. Your dentist determines the colour, shape and size of your teeth in the most appropriate way by designing your smile specifically for you.

How is Laminate Veneers applied?

Laminate Veneers application usually consists of three stages: First, the shape, colour and structure of your teeth are evaluated. Then, a thin layer is shaved from the front surface of your tooth. Finally, specially designed porcelain or composite laminates are bonded to your tooth. There is no pain during the procedure because local anaesthesia is applied.

How long do Laminate Veneers last?

Porcelain laminate veneers can be used without any problems for 10-15 years with proper care and hygiene. However, composite laminates usually last between 5-7 years. This period may vary depending on factors such as regular dental care, not smoking and avoiding hard foods.

What care is required after the Laminate Veneers application?

Laminate Veneers aftercare includes regular brushing, flossing and taking care of your oral health, just like healthy teeth. You should also be careful when chewing hard foods. If you have a habit of grinding your teeth, it is recommended that you use a mouth guard. Regular dental check-ups are also important.

How long does the Laminate Veneers application take?

Laminate Veneers treatment usually takes two or three sessions. After preparing your teeth in the first session, custom-made laminates are placed on your teeth in the second session. The placement of the veneers usually takes 1-2 hours, which makes the treatment process for patients quite fast and efficient.

Is there any pain after Laminate Veneers?

There may be slight sensitivity or pain after the procedure, but this is usually temporary and disappears within a few days. Most Laminate Veneers treatments are painless because local anaesthesia is used during the application.

Can Laminate Veneers correct discoloration on my teeth?

Yes, Laminate Veneers can perfectly correct yellowing, stains and discoloration on teeth. Deterioration in the natural colour of your teeth or stains caused by substances such as coffee and tea can be eliminated with these veneers. Your dentist will ensure that your smile is as white and bright as you want it to be.

Can I close the gaps in my teeth with Laminate Veneers?

Yes, Laminate Veneers can correct small gaps between teeth or irregular alignment of teeth. Veneers provide a symmetrical and aesthetic appearance with minimal intervention to the natural structure of the teeth. Especially when doing smile design, these gaps can be closed, and a more balanced smile can be achieved.

Will there be a change in my diet after Laminate Veneers?

You can eat your normal meals immediately after Laminate Veneers, but it is a good idea to avoid hard foods for the first few days. Also, acidic drinks and foods (for example, orange juice or foods with lemon) should be avoided as they can cause sensitivity in your teeth.

Do Laminate Veneers break teeth?

Laminate Veneers are quite durable with proper care. However, habits such as chewing hard foods or grinding teeth can cause the veneers to break or become damaged. Therefore, you should be careful to protect your teeth and use a dental guard if necessary.

Do Laminate Veneers completely cover my tooth?

No, Laminate Veneers are only applied to the front surface of the tooth. The back of the tooth and the root are protected. Veneers provide an aesthetic improvement by preserving the natural appearance of the tooth.

Is Laminate Veneers suitable for everyone?

Laminate Veneers are suitable for people with healthy teeth and aesthetic problems. If your teeth have excessive decay, gum disease or other major structural problems, these problems need to be treated first. Your dentist will determine the most appropriate treatment option for you.

What are the biggest advantages of Laminate Veneers?

Laminate Veneers offer a natural look, minimal tooth cutting and a fast treatment process. In addition, they are long-lasting, durable and provide the best aesthetic results. Since they are less invasive than other dental treatment methods, they largely protect your tooth structure.

Can I completely change my smile with Laminate Veneers?

Yes, Laminate Veneers can completely renew your smile. It can customize the shape, colour and size of your teeth, close gaps between your teeth and even correct minor alignment problems. With this procedure, you can achieve the perfect smile you want.

Are there any disadvantages to Laminate Veneers?

Laminate Veneers are generally a very safe and effective treatment method, but they can have a few disadvantages. These include the high cost of treatment, tooth sensitivity in some patients and the risk of breaking the veneers due to excessively vigorous chewing habits. However, these disadvantages can be minimized with the advice of your dentist.
