Cosmetic Dentistry: What Are They, Benefits and Cost
Improve the aesthetics of your smile.
Here at the Antalya Dental Hospital, we believe that everyone should be wearing a smile they’re proud of. No one should hide their smile.
We often see patients who complain about fractured, heavily stained or worn out teeth. Good news is, there are many different options to correct these problems. Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way, and whether you need a few minor enhancements or a full transformation, our cosmetic dentists can help
Veneers & Smile Design
Veneers are a popular choice for those who are unhappy with their smile. A veneer is a strong, ultra-thin shell of porcelain bonded on top of the tooth to correct stained, chipped and misshaped teeth. Our cosmetic dentists can also use veneers to align slightly crowded teeth or close gaps between teeth.
Because of their versatility, veneers can be used to fix a single tooth or as a part of a smile makeover. Using the principles of smile design, we will help you recreate a natural looking smile that complements your features and personality.
Smile Makeover
There are times when we need to do a combination of cosmetic dental treatments to rebuild the natural beauty, health and function of our patients’ smiles. This may sound complex, but smile makeovers are something our dentists and specialists do on a daily basis. Smile makeovers may involve veneers, crowns, onlays, composite bonding or teeth whitening – all of which are carefully designed to give your smile a natural look and feel.
Gum Contouring
It’s not always the teeth that are the problem, for some people, it’s their gums. Oftentimes, many people lose their confidence to smile if too much of their gums show (gummy smile), or when the gums rest too high on their teeth. To improve the overall aesthetics of a smile, our dentists and periodontist (gum specialist) can perform a procedure called gum contouring or reshaping. Laser technology makes this procedure quick and relatively pain-free.
Teeth Whitening
Everybody loves a bright, white smile. It is one of the most attractive features anyone can possess. This is why more and more people opt for teeth whitening treatments to rejuvenate their smiles and boost their confidence. Done professionally, whitening at the dentist gives you safe, effective and outstanding results with zero or little discomfort.
Composite Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is a common procedure used to repair chipped or uneven tooth, or to close minor gaps between teeth. Your dentist will directly apply a tooth colored composite to the front surface of your teeth where it is contoured into the right form and hardened using a special light. The bonded tooth is polished and shaped to appear natural. Composite bonding can be used to fix a single tooth or rebuild several ones. It is usually completed in one visit.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
A full mouth rehabilitation is when patients undergo a series of cosmetic and restorative procedures to restore the proper function, health and aesthetics of their smiles. This is typically performed for patients with a high number of severely damaged or missing teeth, or those with advanced periodontal or gum disease. Our specialists may use a variety of treatments that can include dental implants, bridges, root canal treatments, veneers and crowns to create the correct relationship between the gums, jaws, muscles and teeth.

The inside of your mouth and your tongue will be examined with the help of a small mirror. The examination will also look at your neck and underneath your jaw. Dentists will carry out this examination as part of a routine dental check-up. Remember, your dental team can see parts of your mouth that you cannot see easily yourself.
Lots of small signs can show that you have bad breath. Have you noticed people stepping away from you when you start to talk? Do people turn their cheek when you kiss them goodbye?
If you think you might have bad breath, there is a simple test that you can do. Just lick the inside of your wrist and sniff – if the smell is bad, you can be fairly sure that your breath is too.
Or, ask a very good friend to be absolutely honest with you; but do make sure they are a true friend.
These can be used in most areas of the mouth. An inlay is small and placed within the biting surface of the tooth. An onlay can cover a larger area of the tooth. Gold is the most long-lasting and hard-wearing filling material and will last for many years. An advantage of gold is that it does not tarnish and has great strength.
One of the differences between gold and other filling materials is that the gold filling is made in a laboratory. Your dental team will usually take an impression of the prepared cavity and send it to the laboratory for the technician to make the inlay or onlay. In the meantime, a temporary filling will be placed in the cavity. After the gold inlay or onlay has been made, your dentist will fix it in place with dental cement. This type of filling is more expensive.
The dental team will need to know your medical history and about any medicines that you are taking. This includes any regularly prescribed medicines from your doctor or another health provider (such as HIV medications and Hormone Replacement Therapy). To treat you properly, they also need to know your HIV status and whether you have had hepatitis.
Dentists will not judge or criticise you. They are there to help improve your oral health and answer any questions or concerns you may have about your mouth, teeth and gums.
