General

  • What happens in the first consultation?

    In the first consultation, your complaints, an intraoral examination and, if needed, radiographic assessment are carried out together. Not every examination ends with a decision for treatment — in some cases follow-up or preventive care may be sufficient. The process and options are discussed with you in clear language.

  • Is every treatment completed in a single session?

    No. Treatment duration depends on the procedure; some are completed in one visit while others (such as implants, root canal treatment or orthodontics) require multiple appointments and a healing period. Planning becomes clear after the examination.

  • Do I need a referral for an appointment? Is pricing information shared?

    No referral is needed for a clinic visit; you can book directly. You can reach our clinic through the appointment page. Pricing becomes clear according to the treatment planned after the examination; a fixed price is not given over the phone.

№ 02 — Implants

Implant Treatment

  • What is a dental implant?

    A dental implant is a treatment method consisting of a biocompatible titanium root placed in the jawbone in place of a missing tooth, together with a crown fitted on top of it. The aim is to restore both the function and the appearance of the lost tooth.

  • Can implants be placed in everyone?

    Suitability is assessed based on general health, jawbone volume and gum health. In some systemic conditions or cases of insufficient bone, additional assessment or supportive procedures may be needed.

  • Is getting an implant a painful procedure?

    The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so no pain is felt during it. Mild swelling and tenderness for a few days afterward are normal and are usually managed comfortably with the dentist's recommendations.

  • How long does an implant take to complete?

    Placement is done in a single session; however, the osseointegration process — fusion with the bone — usually takes a few months. The crown is fitted once this process is complete.

№ 03 — Orthodontics

Orthodontics

  • What are clear aligners?

    Clear aligners are a series of transparent, removable trays that gradually move the teeth into the desired position. The trays are prepared in a series and changed at set intervals.

  • Are clear aligners suitable for every case?

    No. Suitability depends on the degree of crowding and the type of bite issue. In some complex cases, metal braces may be more appropriate. The decision is made after an examination.

  • How long does clear aligner treatment take?

    Treatment duration varies with the complexity of the case, but generally ranges from a few months to about a year and a half.

  • How many hours a day should the aligners be worn?

    For an effective result, it is recommended to wear the aligners for most of the day, generally removing them only for eating and brushing. Compliance with wear time directly affects the course of treatment.

№ 04 — Smile

Cosmetic Dentistry

  • What is teeth whitening?

    Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens discolouration on the tooth surface using bleaching gels applied under a dentist's supervision.

  • Does teeth whitening damage the teeth?

    Whitening performed under professional supervision at an appropriate concentration is generally considered safe. Improper or uncontrolled application can cause sensitivity and gum irritation.

  • What is a zirconium crown?

    A zirconium crown is a crown made from zirconium — a biocompatible, durable ceramic material — placed over a damaged tooth or one whose appearance needs correcting.

  • When is a zirconium crown used?

    It can be considered for severely decayed or fractured teeth, discolouration, cases where the tooth shape needs correcting, and strengthening teeth that have had root canal treatment.

№ 05 — Root canal & surgery

Root Canal & Surgery

  • What is root canal treatment?

    Root canal treatment is a method used when the nerve and blood vessel tissue inside a tooth (the pulp) becomes inflamed or damaged; the tissue is cleaned and the canals are filled so the tooth can be preserved without extraction.

  • When is root canal treatment needed?

    It is considered when the tooth pulp becomes inflamed or dies as a result of advanced decay, trauma, or repeated filling procedures.

  • What is wisdom tooth extraction?

    Wisdom tooth extraction is the surgical removal of a wisdom tooth that does not have enough room in the mouth, remains impacted, or causes recurring inflammation.

  • Does every wisdom tooth need to be removed?

    No. Wisdom teeth that erupt without problems and are in the correct position can be monitored without extraction. The decision to extract is based on findings such as pain, recurring inflammation, decay, or risk of damage to a neighbouring tooth.
