A Dental Implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium or other biocompatible material that is surgically placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or Bridge. The Implant integrates with the bone and becomes a stable support for an Implant Crown or Implant Bridge. Dental Implants are a safe, effective and long-lasting solution for missing teeth and can help to preserve the jawbone, preventing the loss of facial structure that can occur with missing teeth.
Are you struggling to cope with your existing dentures, facing the prospect of removable dentures or don't like your gap? If the answer is yes the most natural solution is Dental Implant.
High-quality Dental Implants are typically unaffordable for many patients, especially those in the UK, Europe and the USA.
The VIP clinics in Antalya, Fethiye offer patients an affordable Implant solution without compromising on the quality of materials. Patients who choose these clinics for their Dental Implant procedure can rest assured that they only offer leading global Implant brands, all of which come with a lifetime guarantee.
A Dental Implant is a small titanium screw that is placed within the jawbone to replace teeth that are already missing or are in need of replacement. Dental Implants are made of titanium as titanium is known to integrate with your natural bone. It is the same material used in knee and hip replacements.
Consequently the Implant forms an artificial tooth root that anchors in place a new dental crown. In the case of multiple teeth missing along the same row (three or more teeth) an Implant Bridge can be attached to the Implants. Since the Implant fuses to the jawbone, the end look and feel is completely natural.
The word 'Implant' refers directly to the titanium screw, which is implanted into the jawbone; in addition to this there is the Implant Abutment (the small attachment that connects the Implant to the Crown) and then of course the Porcelain Crown itself to complete the treatment.
The clinics will always provide you a quote that is all inclusive of all costs related to your treatment, The Implant price includes the cost of the Abutment, ensuring there are no hidden costs following your arrival.
The VIP clinics in Antalya and Fethiye are classed as 'Dental Centres and are fully licensed and regulated by the Turkish Ministry of Health. Dental Centres are held to a higher standard than a standard dental clinic.
Many clinics now use the term VIP or Dental Centre but there are no additional services or facilities on site and no registration as a Dental Centre to warrant the use of the term. Legitimate Dental Centres are allowed to provide a much larger range of services and facilities than an ordinary policlinic or boutique clinic.
If in doubt, patients should ask for the full registered clinic name. The name will either include the term Poliklinik (which is a standard dental clinic) or dis sagligi merkezi (which is a Dental Centre). Essentially, most dental clinics in Turkey, such as those that describe themselves as boutique clinics or licensed as polikliniks, are relatively small and are not legally able to provide the services that a Dental Centre is licensed to provide.
A Dental Centre has the added advantage of a more experienced dental team and superior dental technologies including a full on-site laboratory.
The VIP clinics in Antalva and Fethive are equipped with a 3D Tomography machine that allows the Oral Surgeons to plan Dental Implants with great precision and in some cases, where possible with Guided Surgery (also referred to as Implants without surgery).
The VIP clinics have a team of fully qualified Oral Surgeons who are qualified and skilled at more complex procedures such as Surgical Extractions. Dental Implants. Sinus Lifting and Bone Grafting. This ensures no Dental Implant is placed by a general Dentist, and no dental surgery is performed by anyone other than a fully qualified Oral Surgeon.
How Many Dental Implants do I need?
Depending on how many teeth you have missing will depend on the number of Implants you will need. Dental Implants can be used to replace any amount of teeth - from a single missing tooth to full mouth restoration. The expert dental team will tailor a treatment plan to suit your personal requirements.
Generally the dentists do not replace every missing tooth with a Dental Implant. If you have NO teeth on your upper and lower jaws they will usually place 6 Implants along the upper jaw and 6 Implants along the lower jaw, 12 in total. These Implants will support a full set of 28 teeth (14 teeth along each jaw).
If you have a gap where 3 or 4 teeth are missing along the same row, 2 Dental Implants (one at each end of the gap) will be placed. These Implants will support a 3 or 4 Tooth Dental Implant Bridge. Alternatively, if you only have one tooth missing, 1 single Dental Implant and Implant Crown will be placed.
Your treatment can be completed in two short visits to Turkey. The first visit is for the placing of your Dental Implants. Following your Implant placement you must wait a minimum of 3 months before your permanent Implant Crowns) can be fitted. This is very important for all patients to ensure your Implants have time to settle and are strong in the jawbone before any weight or force is applied, ensuring the long-term success of your treatment.
During visit one a temporary solution can be applied so you will not return home without the appearance and function of teeth. On your return visit to Turkey the Implant Crowns or Dental Implant Bridges will be fitted to the Implants and your treatment will be completed.
Dental Implants and the cost of their placement can command eye-watering prices, often running into the thousands of pounds/ euros or dollars. The clinics in Antalya, Fethiye, Istanbul and Marmaris offer patients seeking Dental Implants an alternative solution. A solution which comes at a lower cost but most importantly does not compromise on the quality of materials used or expertise of the Dentists and Oral Surgeons.
Much of this can be attributed to the running costs associated with owning a clinic in Turkey, which is significantly less than that of the running costs of a clinic in your home country. Couple that with the buying power of a group of clinics, that places an increasingly high number of Implants per month, the costs are brought down even further. This cost saving is passed on directly to you.
The clinics in Antalya, Fethiye, Istanbul and Marmaris place Titanium Implants, manufactured from 100% grade 4 or grade 5 Titanium. Titanium is used for Dental Implants, as it is extremely durable, lightweight and very biocompatible, meaning it is not going to wear out and is highly unlikely to be rejected by your body.
There are many different types of Titanium that are used for different purposes, building, medical supplies etc. Titanium Grade 4 or Grade 5 is used in the medical field and should be the only type of Titanium used for Dental Implants. Sometimes low cost Implants are not made from Grade 4 or 5 Titanium or they are only plated in Titanium.
Antalya and Fethiye clinics give you a guarantee that they only work with premium Dental Implants that manufactured from 100% Titanium and come with a lifetime guarantee.
What if I need Bone Grafting or Sinus Lifting?
Once a natural tooth is extracted, the jawbone density will start to reduce after a period of time. In some cases, the reason for the loss of the tooth initially can be due to a reduction in bone density. In such cases, in order for an effective Implant placement Bone Grafting is required.
Along the upper jaw the position of the sinus pockets is of vital importance to ensure a safe Implant placement. If there is insufficient room under the sinus pocket a Sinus Lifting procedure may be advised. In most cases, we carryout Bone Grafting and/or Sinus Lifting alongside the Implant placement.
For more information on Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifting please visit the following page: Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifting

Nobel Biocare Active All-On-4® Dental Implants Full Arch
The " All-on-4®️" Dental Implant treatment refers to a procedure where just four Dental Implants support a full arch of teeth (for the upper or lower jaw). In cases where a full restoration is needed, the All-on-4®️ solution can be applied to both jaws. This treatment is popular for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in a single arch (upper or lower) or in both arches and where a permanent solution that is more stable than traditional dentures is required.
Notably, this is the only fixed full-arch restoration option with 25 years of documented clinical success, and it has been employed in the successful treatment of over 250,000 patients globally.
The All-on-4®️ treatment offers the advantage of an integrated procedure whereby extractions, implant surgery, and the fitting of a temporary bridge can be accomplished within a single visit to the VIP clinics in Turkey. The treatment utilises four strategically placed Nobel Biocare Active® All-on-4®️ Dental Implants and Abutments in the jaw, thus optimising the use of existing bone structure. This is of particular significance for patients with lower bone volume or anatomical limitations such as sinus levels, which may render some patients unsuitable for the traditional method of a fixed prosthetic on 6 Implants. Additionally, the All-On-4®️ approach often eliminates the need for Sinus Lifting and Bone Grafting, offering a less invasive treatment option.
Unlike removable dentures, which can present challenges in terms of stability and comfort, the All-on-4®️ system offers a fixed and more functional alternative. This results in enhanced dietary flexibility and clearer speech, which positively impacts the patient's overall quality of life. Moreover, whereas removable dentures may contribute to further bone loss over time, the All-On-4®️ treatment aims to preserve existing bone structure, thereby offering a longer-term benefit for oral health.
After a designated period for healing and osseointegration, the patient returns to the clinic for the placement of their permanent dental restorations. This final phase of the treatment further improves the aesthetic and functional characteristics of the smile line, thus enabling patients to engage in daily activities with increased confidence and ease.
We take pride in exclusively offering Nobel Biocare Active® All-on-4®️ Dental Implants and Abutments, renowned for their longevity, effectiveness, and success rates. If you are contemplating a reliable, long-term solution for a full-arch dental restoration, especially under challenging anatomical conditions such as reduced bone volume or sinus complications, the All-on-4®️ treatment is a serious consideration.
The All-on-4®️ treatment is also noteworthy for its cost-effectiveness, especially when compared to traditional Implant methods which require more Implants and potentially additional surgical interventions. The streamlined surgical process and reduced Implant count simplify the treatment and make it more financially accessible. Consequently, All-on-4®️ stands as a viable and budget-friendly alternative for patients who are cost-conscious but unwilling to compromise on the quality and longevity of their dental restoration.
Please be aware that if you are seeking All-on-4®️ dental treatment, it is a trademarked procedure developed by Nobel Biocare, and it utilises explicitly Nobel All-on-4®️ Dental Implants and Abutments. Should you be offered alternative Implants and Abutthat you ments that are not produced by Nobel Biocare, it is important to recognise are not receiving the authentic All-On-4®️ dental treatment. Exercise due diligence to ensure you obtain the genuine procedure you were planning for.

Dental Crowns are also considered to be a full Dental Veneer, covering the tooth 360 degrees. Crowns are recommended to cover teeth that are damaged, broken, or worn down. In some cases where your existing teeth are abnormally shaped or worn Crowns are recommended for a smile makeover.
Crowns enable the dentists to amend the shape of your tooth completely, adjustments that are sometimes beyond the capability of a Laminate Veneer. Crowns can be sculptured to match your existing teeth, close gaps (bridge work), or create a new smile makeover. They have a longer life span when compared to other dental treatments such as Lumineers.
Dental Crowns can be aesthetically fabricated to reflect “light” like natural teeth, and mimic the shape, size and colour of the surrounding teeth. Dental Crowns will also protect your tooth underneath, preserving your natural tooth and gums for a longer period of time.
Dental Crowns can be used in order to achieve a cosmetic result that goes beyond the dental area. Patients report that the results can be seen throughout the facial region, plumping the cheeks, lips and smoothing out lines around the mouth itself, lending a more youthful and refreshed look to the entire face. The Dental Crowns are often employed to great effect to accomplish Smile Makeovers and Dental Facelifts.

Metal Porcelain Crowns (PFM)
Metal Porcelain Crowns also known as PFM are the product of a marriage between porcelain and metal Crowns. They are hard-wearing and cosmetically sound, but are not suitable for all people or all positions within the dental area. The core of the Crown itself is usually made from a nickel based grey metal with an overlay of white porcelain fused to the outside in order to give a white natural and tooth like appearance. Unfortunately, even though considered to be very durable, should your gums recede over time you may see a black line along the top of your gum line when you smile. If you choose Metal Porcelain Crowns it is recommended that you replace them after 6-7 years to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. They are most suitable for use on the side or back teeth and for use over Dental Implants.
All Metal Porcelain Crowns provided by the clinics in Antalya, Fethiye, Istanbul and Marmaris are crafted in laboratories known for dental excellence and accuracy. It is important to remember, the skills of the Cosmetic Dentist is only one aspect of your treatment. The quality of the Crowns themselves, combined with the skills of the Dental Technician is also vitally important to ensure a good end result.
Zirconium Porcelain Crowns (Zirconia)
Some years ago Cubic Zirconia was all over the news as the latest material being used to simulate diamonds. It is the same base substance of Zirconium Dioxide, in its white crystalline form that is used in the creation of Zirconium Crowns. Zirconium Porcelain Crowns are incredibly tough, extremely durable and aesthetically pleasing. Zirconium Porcelain Crowns consist of a pure white metal core (a permanent white metal) with porcelain fused to the outside, creating the look of a natural tooth.
In some cases Crowns are created from 100% Zirconium without the need for Porcelain. The positive to this type of Crown is that you will never see a black line should your gums recede over time. The Crown will always appear white at the gum line. The tooth has a much better transparency as the Crown is made up from 100% white materials. Zirconium Porcelain Crowns are also a healthy option compared to Metal Porcelain, as they are free from Nickel. The look is more aesthetically pleasing when you smile and therefore Zirconium/ Porcelain Crowns are recommended for your front teeth (8 upper/ 8 lower) or the number of teeth that are shown along your smile line.
All the clinics’ Zirconium Porcelain Crowns are crafted from A grade Zirconium in laboratories known for dental excellence and accuracy. It is important to remember, the skills of the Cosmetic Dentist is only one aspect of your treatment. The quality of the Crowns themselves, combined with the skills of the Dental Technician is also vitally important to ensure a good end result. In all cases, the laboratories use only the very best materials that are sourced from across the globe.

One of the main appeals of Composite Bonding is the aesthetic enhancement it provides. By repairing chips, closing gaps, or resolving discolouration, this procedure can offer a dramatic difference in the appearance of your smile line. Ideal candidates for Composite Bonding are those with minor cosmetic dental issues who are seeking a less invasive and more cost-effective treatment option.
Composite Bonding is a dental procedure used to repair, amend, or improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, chipped, fractured, or very slightly misaligned. Unlike other cosmetic dental procedures, Composite Bonding typically requires very little to no removal of the tooth enamel, depending on the desired end results.
In the first instance, the Cosmetic Dentist will discuss and select a resin colour that closely matches the desired colour selection, or to match the surrounding teeth. The tooth's surface is then slightly roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied. This step is critical as it helps the bonding material adhere firmly to the tooth.
The resin used in Composite Bonding is a tooth-coloured, putty-like material which is applied to each tooth, being moulded, and smoothed until it achieves the desired result. The ability to manipulate the resin allows the Cosmetic Dentist to perfectly tailor the treatment to the patient's individual needs or desired outcome. Once the resin has been shaped, it must be hardened. A special ultraviolet light or laser is used to quickly cure the material. After hardening, the Cosmetic Dentist may further amend, shape, and polish the resin to offer a completely new smile-line or blend it seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
The resin used in Composite Bonding is very durable, but it is not as strong as natural teeth. However, with proper care, including regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding hard or excessively chewy foods that could chip the material, the bonding can last several years. Composite Bonding is an easily maintained and repairable solution for many cosmetic dental issues.
Composite Bonding is generally less expensive and less invasive than other cosmetic dental procedures, like Laminate Veneers or Dental Crowns. It can often be done in a couple of visits and doesn't usually require anaesthesia. However, the bonding material is not as strong or stain resistant as other restorative options. Therefore, it may not be suitable for extensive damage or for teeth that are subject to heavy chewing pressure.
Composite Bonding represents a middle ground between basic cosmetic procedures such as Laser Teeth Whitening and more substantial treatments like Laminate Veneers or Dental Crowns/ Full Veneers. Its flexibility, accessibility, and relatively lower cost make it a very popular choice for many patients seeking to enhance their smile.

There are a few options to close a gap where a single tooth is missing or multiple teeth are missing along the same row. One of the quickest and most cost effective solutions is to close the gap using a fixed Dental Bridge.
A Dental Bridge is as the name suggests, a Bridge over the tooth/ teeth that are missing that anchors onto the teeth either side of the gap. The teeth either side of the gap are prepared in order to anchor the Bridge. A Dental Bridge is a fixed non-removable solution unlike a conventional Denture, which is removable.
As a general rule, if you have a single tooth missing you will need a 3 Tooth Dental Bridge to close the gap.

For those looking for a much whiter smile in a very short period of time, Laser whitening is one of the fastest whitening systems available in the world. Here, a higher concentration of whitening gel is applied to the teeth and activated with a high intensity plasma arc light.
At the end of the appointment there is a noticeable change in the colour of your teeth. It is important to remember that the process of Laser Teeth Whitening restores the colour of the teeth to their original white shade. It does not paint the teeth to the colour shade of your choice. In most cases two sessions of up to 40 minutes are carried out to achieve the maximum result possible.
In Europe dental clinics are permitted to use a Whitening with a gel with a maximum of 6% strength Hydrogen Peroxide (as per the rules of European Union) which usually has very little effect on the colour of your teeth.
The dental clinics in Turkey use a product which is 25% - 40% for maximum results. Of course this strength of product is only able to be administered by a Dental Professional in a clinic with the appropriate expertise and technology, and outside of the UK and European Union.

Invisalign®, developed by Align Technology in 1997 in the USA, offers a modern twist on traditional braces with clear aligners. Utilising advanced 3D digital iTero scanning technology, Invisalign® involves the wearing of a series of clear aligners made from unique SmartTrack material.
These aligners, which are replaced every ten days, are designed to progressively reposition teeth and see the results in a matter of weeks. Known for its effectiveness in a shorter period of time and its near-invisible nature, Invisalign has become an increasingly popular choice for those seeking to straighten their teeth without the obvious visibility of traditional metal braces.
There are several Invisalign packages available, each tailored to a patient's unique dental situation and needs.
How does Invisalign work?
Your Invisalign treatment begins with a detailed review of your teeth using a state-of-the-art 3D iTero scanner. During this initial step, you'll have the opportunity to discuss your smile goals with your dental professional. After this, the dental team will advise on the most suitable package for you alongside the expected treatment duration, and Invisalign® by Align Technology (USA) will custom-create your aligners.
You will receive your first set of custom aligners on your second visit. Small button-like attachments are placed on specific teeth that require repositioning to ensure effective dental movement and fit. The aligners are designed to be worn for at least 22 hours daily and can be conveniently removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. You should change each aligner after 10 days of wear. In the final stage, you will wear your last aligner for at least 6 weeks to ensure your teeth maintain their new positions.
Throughout your treatment, you should use the My Invisalign® app to upload progress photos. This not only helps you track your progress but also allows your dental team to ensure everything is moving according to plan.
After completing the recommended treatment period, you will have a final control visit. If your results meet the initial expectations, you will transition to using the Vivera™ retainer only while sleeping. This helps maintain your new smile, marking the completion of your treatment journey.

Dental Lumineers are of such thinness they are often referred to as dental shells. Dental Lumineers are perfect in the case of wanting a smile makeover that requires a subtle amendments to your natural teeth in terms of shape and overall smile design.
Dental Lumineers are about as thin as a contact lens and as such they usually require no preparation to your natural teeth. The clinic uses the best dental cement sourced from global leading suppliers of dentistry products which ensures the strongest bond is created between your tooth and the Lumineer.
If you are happy with your overall smile design and you are planning minor amendments or a much whiter colour such as Hollywood white, Lumineers are the perfect form of Cosmetic Dentistry to achieve the result you are planning for.
If you have teeth that protrude, are recessed, overcrowded or present excessive gaps or damage then the corrective amendment needed will defeat the capability of a Lumineer and another form of Cosmetic Dentistry such as Dental Veneers or Dental Crowns may be advised.
You may wonder how a thin shell of porcelain can successfully withstand all of the wear and tear that it will be exposed to. Although Lumineers are exceptionally thin, when they are firmly bonded to and supported by your tooth, it creates a very strong and durable surface.
With modern dentistry, Lumineers are able to provide you with an instant natural or Hollywood smile in just a few easy visits. E.max© Lumineers which are produced in the clinic itself using smile design technology is recommended.
E.MAX© Lumineers (Premium Selection)
E.max© Lumineers are a type of all-ceramic Veneer with an appealing translucent colour, which is combined with extra strength and durability. This Lumineer is made from a single block of lithium ceramic: this is a top grade material, which has been harvested for its toughness and durability.
E.max© has a highly attractive appearance ensuring they compliment the rest of your teeth and which makes it a highly prized Lumineer. It is a glass ceramic Lumineer which is tough and enduring but delicate in appearance.
The advantage of an E.max© Lumineer is that it is considered to be the best match with your own natural teeth.
E.max© is one of the strongest dental materials, therefore it is long lasting and unlikely to crack or fracture when compared too many other types of Lumineers. E.max© Lumineers are crafted from a pure ceramic block, which are available in every shade including Hollywood white.
If you require a single E.max© Lumineer to restore a single tooth, the dental Technicians can also apply shading so your new Lumineer is in keeping with your surrounding teeth. In these cases it is impossible to spot which is the Lumineer and which is your natural teeth.
E.max© Lumineers are made with CAD CAM Technology (Premium Selection) in the dental clinic.
Following your consultation, the Technicians prepare your new smile design on the CAD CAM Computer System and you have an opportunity to review the design and request changes according to your preference of tooth or smile shape. You can bring a reference photograph or picture of a smile that you like and they will copy the design.
If you are unsure on which design is most suitable for you, the Cosmetic Dentists and Technicians have a wealth of experience and will create a bespoke design that suits your mouth and face shape. Once you are happy with the tooth/ smile design the Technicians then get to work, crafting your E.max© Lumineers.
The VIP clinic in Antalya have the E.max© Porcelain blocks in its own clinic therefore they do not have to cover the cost of outside laboratory fees. The clinic has its own, on-site, dental ceramic studio fully equipped with all the relevant technology enabling them to create your Crowns in its own clinic using computer aided software and a CAD CAM machine that mills the Crowns. Having this dedicated studio means that they are able to fabricate Lumineers using the E.max© materials and technologies to an exemplary standard and without the need for an outside laboratory to complete any aspect of the procedure, saving you time and money. If you only need a few Lumineers they can be completed in a single day.
The clinic offers E.max© Lumineers as one of their premium selections. You will see high prices in your home country due to the reputation of the brand name and CAD CAM technology required.
Premium dentistry brands such as E.max© should be available and affordable for every patient.
With this in mind you will see that the clinic’s price for E.max© Lumineers is more than competitive and quality is never compromised.
The glass ceramic blocks themselves appear light purple in colour while they are in their softer form required for the CAD CAM machine to mill the Lumineer shape. During the final phase when the cut E.max© Lumineer is fired in the porcelain oven the purple colour changes to the appropriate white colour shade as the density of the material increases.
The advantage of E.max© Lumineers is that you only need a few dental appointments and the end result is a bespoke design approved by you before the Lumineers are crafted.

Root Canal Treatment becomes necessary when the very interior of the affected tooth, the pulp, dies and/or becomes infected. Many patients fear Root Canal Treatment however thanks to modern Technology it is no more invasive than having a Dental Filling or a simple Descale & Polish.
There are a number of causes, cavities that have been left open or recently broken teeth are just some of the reasons why the treatment is needed. If left untreated for any length of time the end result is inevitably an abscess which can spread the infection to the surrounding tissue beyond the tooth itself, even damaging bone and the neighbouring teeth. If left to progress then the only solution is a Tooth Extraction.
Root Canal Treatment cleans the tooth root and removes any sign of infection from the tooth canals, therefore allowing you to keep your original tooth for a longer period of time. Following the Root Canal Treatment the appropriate material is used to close the tooth.
In some cases if teeth are out of alignment and a Smile Makeover is planned the tooth may need to be prepared more than the adjacent teeth to ensure it can be brought back into alignment without any risk of future sensitivity.
Modern materials and Technology mean that an excellent aesthetic result is achieved, whether the remaining tooth is filled or fitted with a Dental Crown.
Please Note: A single tooth can have one, two or three canals depending on the position of the tooth in your mouth. One or more canals may require treatment according to the tooth number and the results of your dental X-Ray.

Inlays and Onlays are used to restore your teeth in cases where they are broken, chipped or a cavity is present. Unlike a Dental Filling the restoration is made from 100% pure porcelain and is designed and measured to fit into the gap/ cavity perfectly.
The result of an Inlay or Onlay is that unnecessary pressure is not applied to the walls of your tooth (as is the case with a dental Filling). Your tooth is therefore preserved for a longer period of time. In the case of an Inlay, the damaged area of the tooth will be removed and the surrounding area prepared and cleaned for the restoration to be inset in the resulting socket.
In the case of an Onlay, the damage is to the surface of your tooth and the affected area is removed to an extent where the restoration actually sits on the resulting gap rather than inside it.
Both procedures are completed to the clinic’s usual and consistent high standards and using the best materials available. It is vital that an Inlay or Onlay is a perfect fit to ensure the area is completely sealed in order to preserve the tooth underneath.
The VIP Clinics in Antalya and Fethiye have their own, on-site laboratory/ dental ceramic studio fully equipped with all the relevant technology enabling the clinic to create your Inlays and Onlays in the clinic itself using computer aided software and a CAD/ CAM technology that mills the restorations to ensure a perfect fit.
Following your consultation, the Dentist will take an impression of the area that requires an Inlay or Onlay and a design is then created using the Sirona smile design suite. The Dental Technicians create a bespoke design that is accurate to the shape of the restoration required. The design is then sent to the CAD/ CAM machine that fabricates the Inlay/ Onlay.
Having this dedicated studio means the clinic are able to fabricate Inlays and Onlays using premium materials to an exemplary standard and without the need for an outside laboratory to complete any aspect of the procedure, saving you time and money. If you only need a few Inlays or Onlays they can be completed in a single day.

As we age unfortunate things can start to happen inside our mouths. Gums can recede, teeth wear down, your teeth can start to get a bit wobbly and overall the smile line starts to give an indication that it is not as good looking as good or as youthful as we would like it to be. It's all starting to look a bit...old and tired.
Not so long ago finding an acceptable and affordable solution was not available to everyone. A grin and bear it approach seemed to be the only option and it was the norm to accept the teeth’s ageing process.
The clinics in Antalya and Fethiye can offer you a helping hand back to that more youthful look. Although not a definitive anti-aging procedure the added benefits of a full Smile Makeover are such that many of the effects of a traditional facelift are achieved, and without the traumas associated with additional surgery.
A set of nice looking teeth can take years off your appearance and leave you looking healthier too. When determining the best results for the patients, the Cosmetic Dentists and Oral Surgeons take a great many things into account, and overall facial aesthetics are one of the most important factors.
It's not just the shape of individual teeth or even just how they sit within your mouth that is taken into consideration. Your whole face, front and side profile will be assessed with a view to making sure that the optimum result is achieved.
Say goodbye to those sunken cheeks, the pinched or thinning lip lines or the concaved look that is sometimes inflicted upon us as we advance in years.
With a relatively few tweaks and additions in terms of style, shape, colour, length and positioning of the teeth, your new smile can wipe years from your face. All this is achieved during the comprehensive Dental Facelift procedure.
For full details and an explanation of the process please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team. For those of you that are looking for Dental Implants alongside your Dental Facelift you will be pleased to hear that the same techniques can be applied to your treatment plan with exactly the same aesthetic results.
Please take a look at the before and after gallery for a closer look at the results achieved on a daily basis.
