Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the most common causes of toothache?

    The most common causes of toothaches include tooth decay, gum disease, tooth abscesses, broken or cracked teeth, and bruxism. In addition, nonoral problems such as sinus infections can also cause toothaches. It is important to see a dentist to determine the exact cause of your toothache.

  • What causes tooth sensitivity and how is it treated?

    Tooth sensitivity is usually caused by the erosion of tooth enamel or the receding gums, exposing a more sensitive layer called dentin. Hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks can cause pain in the teeth. To reduce sensitivity, it is important to use fluoride toothpaste, avoid abrasive brushing habits, and have regular dental checkups. Your dentist may also recommend fluoride treatments or desensitizing products.

  • What causes bleeding gums and how can it be prevented?

    Bleeding gums are often caused by gingivitis, an early sign of gum disease. Gingivitis occurs when plaque builds up in your gums, causing inflammation. To prevent bleeding gums, it’s important to brush your teeth regularly, floss, and visit your dentist regularly. A healthy diet and avoiding smoking also help keep your gums healthy.

  • Is teeth whitening safe?

    Teeth whitening is generally safe when done under the supervision of a dentist. Professional teeth whitening products and methods are designed to prevent damage to teeth and gums. However, whitening can cause temporary sensitivity or gum irritation in some individuals. For those considering using teeth whitening products at home, it is recommended that you use products approved and directed by a dentist.

  • What is Digital Scanning?

    What technology has brought to our profession is practicality, patient and physician comfort, and very high accuracy in taking measurements, implant-supported prosthesis, orthodontics and standard porcelain coatings or bridges, perfect compatibility and much faster and more accurate delivery process compared to conventional methods. This may vary depending on the devices and software used. 3shape is the undisputed best in this field. With my three-year follow-up and practical cases, I can say that we have become a good duo.

  • What is Root Canal Treatment?

    Root treatment that we perform to regain serious tissue loss or infected devital teeth. With the approach of “the best implant is our own tooth root”, I carefully select the most technologically advanced file systems, irrigation systems, filling pastes and apply it; it is the treatment that I am most proud to perform and achieve. Of course, its success may vary depending on many variables. As I always say, who touches the canal first in a tooth is very important and determines the fate of your tooth.

  • What is Smile Design?

    It is a set of applications that we frequently use in prosthetic applications, where we can show the results to our patients before they touch their teeth, or during the prosthesis preparation phase, it helps to create concepts such as size, color and shape with temporary teeth within the expectations of the patient and the physician.

  • What is Teeth Whitening?

    It is one of the most popular cosmetic applications today. First of all, after the teeth are cleaned and free of plaque and stains, the colors of the teeth can easily become much lighter than they are with certain chemical agents and high light support. It can be applied as a home or office type. My individual perspective on this treatment is as follows; if our patient consumes products that color the teeth such as coffee, tea, cigarettes very often and does not consider giving up or seriously reducing these habits, the results both fall short of expectations and are short-lived. It has a motivating feature for our patients who can enter personal discipline and look for excuses to get rid of these habits because very good results can be obtained at the end of the treatment.

  • What is Gum Disease?

    Gum diseases are one of the most common diseases today. While they can be genetic, the main factor can generally be based on lack of care or incorrect care. While some problems can be solved surgically, others can be solved with much simpler interventions. Our gums form the basis of our oral health. Unfortunately, there is no chance for a healthy tooth to live in an unhealthy gum, and most of the time, teeth that do not even contain any decay are lost due to these reasons. In our patients with gum problems, implants or bridges for tooth loss will bring unsuccessful results in the long run, so good follow-up and patient motivation are very important. It is beneficial for our patients who frequently experience gum disease to have a doctor's check-up every 6 months, and for our standard patients, once a year.

  • What is Implant Treatment?

    It is one of the most popular surgical applications frequently applied for the compensation of tooth loss today. Temporary teeth can be made in 2 days with fast&fixed systems for patients who have no teeth and the process can be completed with high comfort. In implant treatment, if the right product is used for the right patient, very long-lasting successful results are obtained. There are many medical and patient factors that determine the success of an implant. If the right surgery, the right product, good care and a hygienic superstructure suitable for implant criteria are provided, the satisfaction rate is very high. Our patients are often curious about the brands they work with and ask brand-based questions. The systems that each doctor works with and feels comfortable with may be different. While one doctor may be doing product A very successfully, another doctor may be applying product B very successfully. The first thing to pay attention to in patients should be the comments of reference patients who have had the procedure done before. Some state institutions or private institutions may be performing very affordable procedures, since this is not a filling procedure and since each implant system is different, if you cannot find your doctor when you have a problem, things can become very complicated and annoying for you.

  • What is Jaw Surgery?

    Actually, the name sounds cold, but pulling a loose baby tooth is jaw surgery, and tying a broken jaw is jaw surgery. Today, local anesthesia techniques have improved a lot and a large portion of our patients can complete their treatment without feeling any pain. In this title, which covers areas such as impacted tooth extractions, implant surgery, and gum surgery, the subjects may need to be evaluated in different scopes according to the needs of the patient. A small piece of advice I can give to our patients is to take your doctors' warnings before and after the procedure seriously. Otherwise, you may experience really distressing pain or post-operative problems.

  • What are Aesthetic Treatments?

    Nowadays, bonding systems, e max laminate or zirconium coatings are preferred to provide aesthetics. Material selection should be made according to the patient's dental health status and aesthetic expectations. Problems that you exaggerate in your eyes can sometimes be solved with very small touches. Therefore, it is very important to get examined and convey your expectations to your doctor and get an opinion.
