Dental

All-on-4 is a full-arch treatment in which a fixed bridge of replacement teeth is supported by four dental implants in the upper or lower jaw. It is used for people missing most or all teeth in an arch, or whose remaining teeth cannot be saved, and often needs at least two trips to Turkey.

A dental crown is a cap that covers the visible part of a damaged, decayed or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Crowns can be made from zirconia, ceramic, metal or porcelain fused to metal, and fitting one on a natural tooth usually means permanently removing some tooth structure.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone to support a crown, bridge or denture. Treatment often takes several months and two trips to Turkey, and implants need healthy gums, suitable bone and regular maintenance to remain stable.

A Hollywood smile is a popular name for a cosmetic smile makeover rather than one standard dental procedure. It may involve veneers, crowns, whitening, gum contouring or bonding, and because it often permanently changes natural teeth, the plan should be based on your oral health, not on a package name.

Dental veneers are thin porcelain, ceramic or composite coverings bonded to the front of teeth to change their colour, shape or size. Many veneer procedures involve permanently removing some enamel, so treatment should be planned carefully after an assessment of your teeth, gums and bite.
