Various factors, including smoking , increased consumption of tea/coffee or other colored foods, and even aging, can cause teeth to become discolored both internally and externally. Teeth whitening/bleaching can remove stains and restore teeth to their natural color.

We offer our patients two options for teeth whitening:

• Office type teeth whitening method
• Home teeth whitening method

In both cases, the active ingredient is carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. The whitening agent penetrates the outer layer of the tooth, the enamel, to remove stains, and penetrates the enamel to remove internal discoloration, improving the tooth’s color.

3Shape (3D Intraoral Scanners)

Today, the rapid advancement of digital technologies has taken the technologies used during dental treatments to a whole new level. With the introduction of intraoral scanners and computer-assisted treatments, traditional dentistry has been replaced by digital dentistry. Our clinic also utilizes 3D oral scanners in prosthetic dentistry.

What is an intraoral scanner and why is it used?

Your dentist requires a 3D model of your teeth and other oral tissues during your treatment. Impression techniques, similar in consistency to play dough and hardened inside the mouth, are often used before intraoral scanners. Intraoral scanners are devices that offer a new perspective in impression techniques, enabling direct digital model creation by transferring 3D data of the desired area to a computer without contact . Treatment methods using intraoral scanners can be listed as follows:

• Dental crowns and bridge treatments
• Smile design
• Implant-supported prostheses
• Ceramic filling treatments
• Removable dentures
• Orthodontic treatments and aligners
• Guided implant placement

What are the benefits of the intraoral scanner for our patients?

Intraoral scanners have completely eliminated the gag reflex , taste and smell sensations, and physical discomfort in the mouth that traditional impression techniques cause . The treatment process has become faster, more enjoyable, and more comfortable. You can find information on the positive effects of digital technologies on patients in many articles.

Intraoral scanners allow your dentist to instantly view and analyze the quality of digital impressions. This eliminates many intermediate steps, making your treatment more manageable for our dentists and avoiding repetitive procedures.

Intraoral scanners provide high-quality impressions, maximizing our treatment success. They help us instantly detect and respond to any errors to provide safer treatment for our patients.

When choosing a dentist, why should you choose a clinic that uses an intraoral scanner?

Proper use of intraoral scanners requires effort, time, and experience. Therefore, clinics that incorporate this technology into their treatment process prioritize your comfort and want to provide you with a safe and secure treatment experience.

Additionally, intraoral scanners do not produce additional waste material like traditional methods, which is invaluable for the sustainability of our planet.

Apex Locater

X-rays are essential for successful root canal treatment or to evaluate the success of previous root canal treatments. X-rays are the most important aid in diagnosing root canal treatment, planning treatment, and monitoring its results. Radiological examination is more important than clinical examination in assessing success. Almost all teeth that appear clinically in good condition but exhibit apical abnormalities on x-ray show histological signs of apical disease.

Dentistry benefits from the rapid advancement of technology in numerous areas. The X-ray dose received by patients is gradually decreasing thanks to the advancements in radiology equipment used in dentistry. Digital imaging systems allow for quicker treatment completion because the images appear instantly on the screen. The traditional method of calculating root length, using X-rays to measure root canal length, is now performed with root apex locators, allowing for fewer X-rays. Our clinic utilizes the “Ai-pex locator,” a highly sensitive device equipped with state-of-the-art electrocircuit engineering. This device, which measures root canal working length, operates on the principle that periodontal tissue conducts electricity better than dentin.
