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.

Crowns are an ideal way to repair teeth that have been broken, or have been weakened by tooth decay or a very large filling. A crown could be used for a number of other reasons, for example:
- You may have a discoloured filling and would like to improve the appearance of the tooth.
- You may have had a root filling and need a crown to protect what is left of the tooth.
- It may help to hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.
Some people prefer to use a power toothbrush. They are especially useful if you have limited movement or find cleaning particularly difficult. These toothbrushes usually have heads which either rotate and oscillate, or pulsate. Some power toothbrushes are meant to be thrown away when the battery runs down, and some are rechargeable. You can buy power toothbrushes from your local pharmacy, retailer or dental team.
Power toothbrushes with rotating and oscillating heads have been proven to be the most effective. Many power toothbrushes have timers built in to help you brush for the correct amount of time.
You should not use a mouthwash just to disguise bad breath. So, if you find that you are using a mouthwash all the time, talk to your dental team. There are many mouthwashes that are specially formulated to help prevent bad breath and gum disease. Some mouthwashes that contain chlorhexidine, and are recommended for gum disease, can cause tooth staining if you use them for a long time. It is important to read the manufacturer’s instructions or ask how to use them.
Many dentists today offer special treatment for nervous patients. The first fear to deal with is the fear of telling other people that you are afraid of dental treatment. If you can discuss it with your friends or colleagues you are likely to find someone else who has similar problems. They may be able to recommend a dentist to you. A dentist who is personally recommended by another nervous person is usually a very good choice.
