Filling
Fillings are a method used to repair the shape and function of damaged teeth due to decay.
During filling, the decayed tooth tissues are first cleaned, and the affected area is sterilized.
Then, this area is filled with filling materials.
Implant
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that replace missing teeth and take on their functions.
✔ Titanium is commonly used in building implants.
✔ They are typically in the form of screws.
✔ Implants are extremely durable and can stay in the mouth for 30 to 40 years without causing any problems.
✔ Implants can be done for one or more teeth if there is sufficient bone.
✔ The patient’s bone structure where the implant will be placed should be wide and tall enough to support the implant. If the patient has bone deficiencies, bone grafting and soft tissue grafting techniques can be used to make the bone structure suitable for the implant.
✔ Implants do not cause cosmetic problems.
✔ There is no age limit for implant surgery.
✔ The treatment duration may vary depending on the patient’s bone structure and overall condition. For patients in very good health, implant procedures can be completed within 15 minutes. In addition, the number of implants affects the treatment duration.
✔ With implant treatment, you can easily eat what you want.
Crowning
If your tooth is damaged but strong enough that it doesn’t need to be extracted, you can preserve the shape and function of the tooth using a crown. The crown protects your tooth from further damage. Your teeth may need a crown if: They are broken.
✔ They have had root canal treatment.
✔ They have very large fillings.
✔ They are discolored and highly stained.
Crowns can be metallic, porcelain, or others and can be made from various materials. When veneers are properly maintained, they can be used for at least 10 years.
Denture
Dentures are artificial teeth made of synthetic materials to replace missing teeth. Applying dentures ensures the patient’s appearance and maintains dental functions such as chewing and speaking.
✔ Types of dentures include:
✔ Fixed dentures: Dentures that cannot be removed by the patient.
✔ Removable dentures: Dentures that the patient can wear and remove as needed.
✔ Full dentures: Applied to mouths with all missing teeth.
✔ Partial dentures: Applied to mouths with some missing teeth.
