AESTHETIC DENTISTRY

You May Have Health and Natural Smile

Smiling befits everybody and makes everyone look beautiful. A natural, shining smile will help you look younger. However, not everybody has pearly teeth since birth. In this case, aesthetic dentistry creates a solution for the desired smile.

Aesthetic dentistry aims to create natural looking teeth that also fit face of the target person. Aesthetic dentistry combines science and technology with art. The aim is to create “Healthy and Natural Beauty”.

Smile Aesthetic

Smile design is commonly preferred one of aesthetic dentistry procedures. Smile design is, in fact, deemed as a combination of more than one dental treatment. In this procedure, smile of the patient is designed to create most aesthetic form. Next, optimal smile is created through combination of other procedures, such as porcelain crown and gingiva design.

Who are good candidates of Smile Aesthetic?

• Broken anterior teeth,
• Level and color differences in teeth,
• Teeth with eroded surface,
• Large filler and dark discoloration in anterior teeth,
• People who are not satisfied with color of teeth (tetracycline stains etc.)
• Gap or space between teeth (diastema)
• People who are not satisfied with shape of teeth (long, short, small etc.)
• Smile aesthetic is among most appropriate modality for people with crooked teeth (if patient does not want an orthodontic treatment)

Dental Porcelain

Dental porcelain (Porcelain tooth) is a treatment with largest field of use in aesthetic smile.

Porcelain-fused-to-Zirconia

In this system, zirconia, a white alloy, is used instead of a metallic infrastructure.

A metallic infrastructure has long been used beneath the porcelain crown to ensure durability of dental porcelain. Use of zirconia, which has been successfully used in other fields of medicine, ushered a new age in dentistry when it replaced the porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.

It is introduced to all clinical practices at global scale as of early 2002. This new practice eliminates aesthetic concerns of patients arising out of metal-ceramic and all-ceramic restorations.

Moreover, it is a healthy material that does not cause taste disorder, gingival problems and bad breath.

Laminate Veneers

Laminates are aesthetic materials that can hardly be differentiated from natural teeth, as they require minimum abrasion, resistance to stains caused by smoking, tea and coffee and its light transmission character.

It is an aesthetic material that measures approximately 0.3-0.7 mm in thickness and attached on anterior teeth – similar to a fake nail. It is used to improve size, shape, length and color of teeth in an aesthetic manner. Major advantage is the aesthetically excellent outcomes, while the abrasion in teeth is minimized.

Aesthetics of Gum (Pink Aesthetic)

Gum aesthetic implies re-contouring the gums that over-cover the teeth or the gingiva that are too much exposed while smiling. The procedure can be combined with porcelain crown to design a brand new smile.

Color of gums can be turned into pink with depigmentation, if gums look brown in color, resulting with dissatisfaction of patients.

The procedure is not subject to an age limitation or in other words, it can be considered for all patients with dental structure eligible for this treatment.
