About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Dentistry at Hisar Intercontinental Hospital Istanbul
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Dentistry at the the Hisar Intercontinental Hospital Istanbul offers the full range of preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with diseases of the teeth, gums and temporomandibular joint. The department has advanced dental equipment, which allows each patient to undergo the high-precision diagnostics and effective treatment of various pathologies, including especially complex ones. The department uses high-quality materials from leading world manufacturers for teeth prosthetics, filling and dental implantation, which in combination with the professionalism of doctors, guarantees high-quality and long-term result – a beautiful and dazzling smile. The department is headed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. med. Dr. dent. Mithat Terzi.
Any therapeutic measure is preceded by the comprehensive diagnostics, which, depending on the complexity of the clinical case, may include a visual examination of the teeth and oral cavity, examination using digital intraoral optical cameras, X-ray examination of certain teeth and the entire dentition, orthopantomography, laboratory tests in the case of necessity of surgical intervention.
According to the diagnostic results, the dentist decides on the required scope of treatment. All painful procedures are performed with anesthesia, which helps relieve the patient from discomfort. An individual approach to each patient is important for the successful treatment outcome. At the beginning of the therapeutic process, the department's doctors establish a trusting relationship with the patient, so that he feels as comfortable as possible and does not feel any anxiety about the upcoming treatment, since many people suffer from dentophobia.
The department's specialists who treat children have not only high professional skills in dentistry, but also knowledge in child psychology. In addition to the treatment of toothache, caries, correction of malocclusion, treatment of pulpitis in children, the task of a pediatric dentist is to win the child's trust and dispel his fears.
