Prosthetic dental treatments are an advanced field of dentistry that aims to restore the functional, phonetic, and aesthetic properties of teeth that have been lost, damaged, or are aesthetically insufficient for various reasons.

Today, this field is not limited to replacing missing teeth; it also includes modern applications such as aesthetic smile design, Hollywood Smile, and comprehensive smile rehabilitation.

At Dentmetrik, we combine a scientific approach with an artistic perspective, providing our patients with both healthy and natural-looking smiles through digital dentistry technologies and high-quality materials.

Aesthetic Smile Design (Smile Design)

Aesthetic smile design involves planning the size, color, alignment of the teeth, and gum levels in harmony with the individual’s facial structure, lip form, and facial expressions.

Since each individual’s facial proportions and smile dynamics are unique, this process is carried out entirely on a personalized basis. The goal is not to create an artificial look, but to achieve a natural, balanced, and characteristic smile.

Hollywood Smile

Hollywood Smile is a comprehensive aesthetic treatment plan aimed at achieving a whiter, more symmetrical, and more striking smile.

This application typically includes:

  1. E-max (full ceramic) crowns
  2. Zirconium restorations
  3. Porcelain veneers

It is especially preferred by individuals who prioritize their aesthetic appearance in social life or in front of the camera.

Smile Rehabilitation

Smile rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment approach that addresses not only aesthetic concerns but also functional problems.

It is applied in cases such as:

  1. Severe tooth wear
  2. Missing teeth
  3. Bite (occlusion) disorders
  4. Post-traumatic damage

With this treatment, the entire oral structure is redesigned to achieve both aesthetic and healthy function.

Definition and Purpose of Prosthetic Dental Treatments

Prosthetic dental treatment (prosthodontics) is the branch of dentistry that restores missing or damaged teeth using biocompatible materials.

Today, traditional metal-supported prostheses have largely been replaced by:

  1. Full ceramic systems
  2. Lithium disilicate (E-max)
  3. Zirconium-based restorations

These materials provide a natural tooth-like translucency and aesthetic appearance while offering high durability.

Main objectives of treatment:

  1. Restore chewing function
  2. Correct speech disorders
  3. Achieve balanced occlusion
  4. Create a natural and aesthetic smile

Zirconium and E-max Applications

The two most commonly preferred materials in modern dentistry are zirconium and E-max.

Zirconium Crowns:

  1. High durability
  2. Metal-free structure
  3. Excellent gum compatibility
  4. Suitable for both anterior and posterior teeth

E-max Crowns:

  1. Superior light transmission
  2. Closest aesthetic result to natural teeth
  3. Ideal especially for front teeth

Both systems offer long-lasting, healthy, and aesthetic solutions.

Types of Prosthetic Dental Treatments

Fixed Prostheses

Restorations that are permanently placed in the mouth and cannot be removed by the patient:

  1. Zirconium crowns and bridges
  2. E-max restorations
  3. Porcelain veneers (laminates)

Removable Prostheses

Prostheses that can be inserted and removed by the patient:

  1. Full dentures
  2. Partial dentures
  3. Precision attachment (snap-on) dentures

Implant-Supported Prostheses

Fixed or removable systems supported by dental implants:

  1. All-on-4 / All-on-6 fixed prostheses
  2. Overdentures (implant-supported removable dentures)

Digital Dentistry Applications

At Dentmetrik, treatment processes are fully supported by digital systems.

Technologies used:

  1. Intraoral scanners:
  2. Make the impression process more comfortable and precise
  3. Mock-up applications:
  4. Allow the final result to be previewed in the mouth
  5. CAD/CAM systems:
  6. Enable computer-aided design and production of restorations

This allows patients to see the outcome before treatment begins and actively participate in the process.

How Does the Treatment Process Work?

The treatment process begins with a detailed analysis and planning:

  1. Examination and digital analysis
  2. Photography and 3D scanning
  3. Smile design planning
  4. Mock-up (trial simulation)
  5. Tooth preparation
  6. Temporary restorations
  7. Trial stages
  8. Final application

Throughout the process, patient comfort and aesthetic expectations are prioritized.

Advantages of Prosthetic Dental Treatments

Prosthetic dental treatments provide significant benefits both in terms of health and aesthetics:

  1. Restoration of chewing function
  2. Improvement in speech problems
  3. Enhanced facial aesthetics
  4. A younger and more dynamic appearance
  5. Increased self-confidence

Thanks to modern materials:

  1. No discoloration occurs
  2. Excellent gum compatibility is achieved
  3. A natural tooth appearance is obtained

Frequently Asked Questions

Both are aesthetically excellent, but their areas of use are different. E-max (full ceramic) is preferred in front incisors (lamina, etc.) where aesthetics are at the forefront because it is the material with the highest light transmittance. Zirconium, on the other hand, is used safely in posterior teeth where chewing force is high and in long bridges due to its high durability. Our specialist will determine the most suitable one for you after the examination.

No. Laminas are chemically sealed only to the front surface of the tooth with very special and extremely strong "adhesive" glues. A lamina bonded with the correct technique acts just like your own tooth enamel; it does not fall off easily and does not break unless the natural tooth receives an impact large enough to break it.

We know that time is very valuable for our health tourism patients. Thanks to our digital measurement systems (CAD/CAM), we flawlessly complete your smile design process (measurement, rehearsals, and finishing) in an average of 5 to 7 days, usually at the end of 3 sessions.

Absolutely yes. Thanks to our "Mock-up" (pre-rehearsal) application, without any intervention being made to your teeth yet, we have you try out your digitally designed new tooth form live inside your mouth with a temporary material, and we approve the aesthetics together.

In expert hands, leakage does not occur under zirconium or porcelain coatings bonded to the gum edges with zero error (perfect marginal adaptation), and the tooth does not decay. However, it is essential that you provide good oral hygiene and do not neglect brushing and using dental floss/interdental brushes.
