About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Dentistry at Hospitadent Dental Clinic Istanbul

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Dentistry at the Hospitadent Dental Clinic Istanbul offers offers the full range of services in its field of competence. The department admits not only adults, but also young patients for treatment. The most popular dental procedures are the placement of dental implants, porcelain and laminate veneers, root canal treatment and teeth whitening. If necessary, the doctors use Digital Smile Design, which simulates the expected result, namely patient's future smile, with maximum accuracy. To avoid painful sensations, high-quality anesthesia is applied, while for children the dentists use sedation with low dosages of drugs. The department is headed by Dr. med. Dr. dent. Ebru Hattatoglu.

The department has at its disposal the high-tech X-ray systems for the diagnostics of dental problems. It has modern dental rooms. All of them are equipped with the cutting-edge dental chairs, which also have massage options. During a particular procedure, the patient is offered to listen to music of his own choice. This helps the patient to relax as much as possible and to forget that dental treatment may cause discomfort or pain.

One of the most demanded procedures in the department is the placement of dental implants. They allow the doctor to fully replace the missing tooth. The dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, as well naturally participate in the chewing process. The first step in the procedure is to insert a body (an artificial root) into the gum. This procedure takes about 10 minutes and is carried out under local anesthesia. Then an abutment is attached to the body – a piece that serves as a connection between the root and the crown. After that, the implant is fused in the gum for 3-4 months. After this time, the dentist will set a custom made crown. In the case of replacement of the front tooth, which is not involved in the act of chewing, the doctor can immediately place the crown, without waiting for the implant engraftment.

The team of the department's dentists also specializes in the restoration of teeth using the zirconia crowns. The crowns made of this material are distinguished by the most natural appearance, durability and corrosion resistance (they do not change their color). The zirconia crowns are suitable for all patients without exception, including the elderly, and also do not cause any allergic reactions. As a rule, the entire restoration process with crowns takes about 5 days.

The service range of the department is complemented by the very latest technique for dental restoration with veneers. The doctors of the medical facility prefer porcelain and laminate veneers. The veneers are special onlays that allow the patient to hide the aesthetic defects of the anterior teeth. With their help, the doctor can correct the color and shape of a tooth or a whole dentition. They ensure permanent whiteness of the enamel. To place veneers, the surface of the tooth is slightly cut off. The service life of veneers depends on the quality of oral hygiene and on average ranges from 10 to 20 years.

Special attention should be given to pediatric dentistry. The department’s doctors recommend parents regular visits to the dentist from the age of 2. In most cases, dental problems in children include tooth trauma, pathological lesions of the root canals, the need to remove milk teeth. For pain relief in children, the doctors use sedation, in which the dose of analgesics is much lower than in classical anesthesia.
