    E-MAX™ Veneers

    Laminate veneers refer to thin layers of tooth-colored material bonded to the front surface of discolored or damaged teeth to correct the problem. E-MAX porcelain veneers are one of the most common types of veneers recommended for patients. They offer incredible cosmetic appearance that gives your teeth the natural luster and translucence of a healthy smile.

    E-MAX porcelain veneers are fabricated from lithium disilicate glass ceramic that is known for its beauty and superior strength even when cut in very thin slices. The translucency, opalescence, and light diffusion properties of the glass ceramic are masterfully adjusted to replicate the structure of your natural tooth, so the restoration is unnoticeable.

    How the E-MAX Porcelain Veneers are Fitted

    Adults with crooked, misshaped, or misaligned teeth, as well as those with chipped teeth, inconsistent gaps between teeth, or stained teeth can consider E-MAX porcelain veneers to improve their smile.

    On your first visit, our dentists will evaluate your bite, tooth structure and facial features to determine whether veneers are appropriate for your case. They will then design custom E-MAX porcelain veneers for your teeth, giving you the option to “try your new smile” and see how the outcome will be once the veneers are fitted.

    At this point, you can choose to change the shade, size, or shape of your teeth to transform your smile. If your teeth are not evenly stained, our dentists may use multiple layers of veneers for the severely stained teeth to create a uniform look.

    When you are happy with your new smile, the design will be sent to the laboratory so your E-MAX veneers can be casted. In just a couple of days, you would return to the dental clinic for the veneers to be bonded to your teeth using dental resin cement after which you can enjoy your brand new smile.

    Benefits of E-MAX Porcelain Veneers

    Veneers are generally placed on the 6 to 10 visible teeth in your smile. Some reasons to choose E-MAX porcelain veneers over other types of veneers include:

    • Ability to match the color of E-MAX veneers to your existing teeth for seamless integration and a natural looking smile. You can choose a precise shade and color of E-MAX porcelain veneers to improve the color of one or more stained teeth, usually in the upper jaw, giving you the desired smile.
    • The placement of all types of veneers requires us to shave down some of the tooth enamel to create room for bonding. But since E-MAX veneers are verry thin, considerably stronger and tougher than other porcelain veneers, very little enamel is extracted. This means that you experience little to no discomfort during tooth preparation.
    • Based on the previous point, it means that you can preserve more of your tooth structure, and your natural tooth is not weakened. Furthermore, bonding with tough E-MAX veneers significantly improves the strength of the teeth.
    • You can make subtle to moderate changes to your teeth depending on your unique needs. E-MAX veneers come in thicknesses of between 0.3mm and 0.5mm, while conventional porcelain veneers have a minimum thickness of 0.5mm. E-MAX veneers allow therefore more flexibility.
    • Traditional porcelain veneers are prone to cracks and chips because of their thickness. E-MAX veneers are harder and thinner, offering superior durability.

    If you are a suitable candidate for veneers, E-MAX porcelain veneers will give you the most beautiful and natural appearance, and the longest lasting dental cosmetic repair available.

    1.Porcelain, Zirconia and E-MAX veneers. Which is the best?

    Only a qualified dentist can determine after examining your teeth which veneer is best recommended for you according to your particular needs. However, Zirconia and E-MAX veneers are more frequently used than porcelain veneers nowadays due to their higher strength and good looking results.

    We understand that choosing among many veneers products and offers is not as easy as it seems. Contact our online consultats on WhatsApp Number +90 542 512 51 64 and let them inform you properly about the best options we can offer you.

    Getting veneers at our dentists is a simple three-step process. Our dentists begin by examining your oral health and discussing the procedure with you. During this step you will also choose your desired veneer colour. Next your teeth will be gently prepared for the procedure. This involves the removal of some tooth enamel, however those with sensitive teeth may be administered with local anaesthetic to ensure they remain as comfortable and as pain-free as possible during this phase.

    The second step in the procedure involves creating an impression of your teeth, which is used as a template by the dental lab. Here, your veneers are expertly crafted to ensure exact precision and superior results.

    As your permanent veneers will take approximately 2-3 days to return from the lab, our dentist will fit you with temporary veneers during this time. This prevents your teeth from potential sensitivity or discomfort. Once your final veneers have been created, our dentists will bond them gently and permanently into place, resulting in a new and improved smile you’ll love.

    Although our E-MAX veneers are highly durable, it is strongly recommended that you brush and floss daily, as well as attend your regular oral hygiene appointments for a check-up and clean at your local dentist.

      Invisalign® Treatment

      When people think about orthodontic treatment, let’s be honest, most of us think metal brackets and wires. If you are a teenager or adult, a “clear alternative” might sound like a better option. Invisalign® continues to grow in popularity as an effective alternative to braces. It is most definitely talked about, but you may be wondering: What exactly is Invisalign® and how does it work?

      We have put together this easy-to-follow guide to help you understand all the ins and outs of Invisalign®.

      First Things First

      Generally speaking, Invisalign® can treat almost anything that braces can:

      • Crooked Teeth
      • Overbite
      • Underbite
      • Crossbite
      • Gaps in Teeth
      • Open Bite
      • Crowded Teeth

      Invisalign® is great at what it does. However, there are certain situations where it may not work as effectively as traditional braces. The determining factor in whether Invisalign® is or is not right for you is the severity of your case.

      At My Imperial Care, we believe each case is unique and a complimentary consultation will help us determine what is right for you.

      In order to determine weither you are a good candidate for Invisalign®, we’ll request you for some records. These records include photographs of your face and teeth and/or 3D X-rays.

      Our online consultants will review each of these, discuss your desired orthodontic results and provide a customized corrective treatment plan.

      We believe the key to a successful outcome with Invisalign® is a highly skilled orthodontist creating the right treatment plan for you. If during your visit in our dental clinic Invisalign® is your prescribed treatment, our orthodontists create a complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to their final desired position, with the use of advanced 3D computer imaging technology. The records taken are sent to the Invisalign® lab with detailed instructions on how the orthodontist wants your teeth to be moved. Once your orthodontist approves your treatment plan, Invisalign® clinicians start to create your custom-made clear aligners, also called trays. When the dental clinic receives the trays, you’re ready to start the straightening process!

      The Specifics

      Each set of Invisalign® aligners are worn for (usually) one to two weeks at a time. Aligners are designed to move your teeth in small increments. Each aligner is designed slightly straighter than your teeth. This puts gentle, constant pressure on your teeth, so that over the course of time, your teeth move to match the aligners.

      As you progress in the series of aligners, your teeth continue to move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to their final positions.

      After completing your initial series of aligners, your orthodontist will determine if an additional series of aligners are necessary to perfect your smile. If more aligners are needed, we will take an updated digital scan of your teeth, and your orthodontist will submit an updated prescription for additional aligners needed.

      Once you’ve completely finished treatment, it’s time to celebrate that beautiful, new smile! We will also discuss retainers. Retainers are the key to maintaining that beautiful, new smile. By wearing your retainers as directed, your new healthy smile will last a long time!

      Invisalign® Benefits

      • You can and should take your aligners out any time you eat or drink. This means none of the frustrating food restrictions that come with traditional braces!
      • Aligners are virtually almost invisible, making it the perfect choice for a more aesthetically pleasing option and for patients who prefer a more subtle treatment option.
      • Brushing and flossing can be difficult with traditional braces, but removable aligners make good dental hygiene a much easier process, helping keep your teeth and gums healthy.
      • You can remove your aligners temporarily for photos, sports, events or any other special occasion.

      Important Considerations With Invisalign®

      Aligners alone may not move your teeth into alignment. Attachments are sometimes a necessary part of Invisalign® to help move your teeth.

      Attachments enable aligners to move with a little extra force to shift teeth into their proper position. This extra force is used when alignment changes cannot be accomplished on their own because of the size, shape or angle of a specific tooth. Below are some things to know about Invisalign® attachments:

      • Tiny attachments: Invisalign attachments are little, tooth-colored dots made of composite filling material that are bonded to teeth to help the Invisalign® aligners move teeth.
      • Location matters: The attachments are usually placed around the middle of the tooth, serving as an anchor to make an aligner work more effectively.
      • Shape can vary: An attachment can be circular, square, rectangular, or triangular. The type of attachment you receive depends on the goal that the orthodontist is trying to achieve, like tooth rotation, intrusion or extrusion.
      • Attachments have an important job: Attachments serve as anchors for your aligners, allowing the aligners to fit more snugly over your teeth and move more effectively. When your teeth shift into alignment the way they’re intended, your treatment with Invisalign® will precede smoothly, and you’ll have a beautiful healthy smile before you know it!
      • Attachments can sometimes be annoying: Because attachments click into the aligners at designated spots (to better secure your aligner tray over your teeth), putting in your aligners takes some precision. You won’t just be clicking Invisalign® in and out on a whim. Some patients complain that attachments irritate their mouth when their aligners are out, while others dislike that food builds up around the attachments during meals. You need to be diligent about cleaning the attachments and your teeth after every meal and before aligners are put back in place.
      • Not every tooth needs an attachment: The number of attachments you need will be determined by your orthodontist. If you do require attachments on certain teeth, they may not be necessary for the entirety of your treatment.
      • Attachments are not always obvious: If you need attachments on your front teeth, they’ll be more noticeable than on other teeth. Your orthodontist will match the shade of the attachments as closely to your natural tooth color as possible so they blend in with your teeth.
      • Adding attachments is simple: The surface of your tooth is prepped for bonding. Your orthodontist will use an Invisalign® template to mark the locations of the attachments, fill the template, then cure the bonding so the tiny attachments harden and stay in place. When you no longer need the attachments, they will simply be buffed off your tooth.
      • You may not need any attachments at all: If your treatment plan is straightforward and the Invisalign® aligners can do all the alignment work on their own, you may never need attachments on your teeth.

      Invisalign® aligners and the attachments are difficult to see. They are not nearly as obvious as brackets, wires and elastics. Your attachments will be hidden by your aligners most of the time, and they will make your orthodontic treatment more effective, and therefore, faster.

      1.Are rubber bands needed with Invisalign®?

      Yes, sometimes. Rubber bands are usually recommended when more force is needed to move the teeth into proper alignment, so your upper and lower jaw fit together.

      When your top teeth stick out over your bottom teeth, this is called a Class II Malocclusion, better known as an overbite. When your bottom teeth stick out over your top teeth, it is called a Class III Malocclusion, or an underbite. When your bite fits together properly and evenly, it is called a Class I Malocclusion. The goal in wearing rubber bands with Invisalign® aligners is to achieve a Class I Malocclusion where your teeth come together to form a perfectly aligned bite for effective chewing, as well as improved overall health and well-being.

      If rubber bands are recommended, it’s important that they are worn every day as prescribed. Remove them to eat and hook them back up after you brush and place your aligners back in your mouth.

      With braces, you have hooks already on the brackets for wearing rubber bands. Invisalign® doesn’t, so our orthodontists will place “buttons” (small plastic or metal brackets) on your teeth. Then, the rubber bands are hooked on the buttons. Sometimes, the aligner itself will be one of the anchors for the rubber band. In this case, your aligner will be trimmed into a hook shape for the rubber band to hook on to. The buttons themselves are pre-made from Invisalign® and are simply adhered to your teeth.

      The rule of thumb when wearing the rubber bands is to change them twice a day so they don’t lose elasticity.

      The buttons are typically made in a color very close to the color of your teeth to make them less visible. They are generally placed close to the gumline to make them less noticeable. While the buttons are less visible, the rubber bands themselves will be visible when you are wearing them.

      We welcome your questions. For more information, or to schedule an online consultation with our consultants, please contact us on WhatsApp number +90 542 512 51 64.

        Dental Crowns

        Dental crowns are caps placed on top of damaged teeth. Crowns are used to protect, cover and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don’t solve the problem. Dental crowns can be made out of metals, porcelain, resin and ceramics. They typically don’t require special care over time other than regular good oral hygiene.

        What are Dental Crowns?

        Over time, your teeth can get damaged. This can happen for a variety of reasons, like tooth decay, injuries or just use over time. Your teeth can lose their shape or size. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped “caps” that can be placed over your tooth. Think of it like a snug hat for your tooth. The crown restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength and appearance.

        The dental crown is cemented into place on your tooth and it covers the visible portion of the tooth.

        Why would I need a Dental Crown?

        You may need a dental crown for several reasons, including:

        • Protecting a weak tooth from breaking or to keep the weak tooth together if parts of it are cracked.
        • Restoring a broken tooth or a severely worn down tooth.
        • Covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling and not much tooth remaining.
        • Holding a dental bridge in place.
        • Covering misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
        • Covering a dental implant.
        • Covering a tooth that’s been treated with a root canal.
        • To align your bite.
        • To achieve a more beautiful smile by leveling the size, shape, and color of your teeth.

        What Type of Dental Crown Should I Choose?

        When you need a crown, you immediately start thinking about the types of dental crowns and cost. This is because today there are many different types of crowns that vary depending on materials, cost, procedures, and patients’ needs.

        The 5 main types of crowns used in dentistry include:

        • Full Metal Crowns: Since ancient times, crowns have been made from yellow gold and is still the case today in private dentistry although costs have meant that our dentists are unable to offer this anymore. Other modern bio-compatible alloys are now used in its place (for example; Nickel, Chromium and Palladium). Compared with other crown types, less tooth structure needs to be removed with metal crowns and once in place can withstand biting and chewing forces well for many years. Modern full metal crowns are nowadays used for people who have little space when biting together or grind their teeth and are generally the cheapest option. Metal crowns are a good choice for out of sight back teeth, if a porcelain option is not suitable.
        • Porcelain Fused to Metal: Porcelain crowns have a thin metal sub-structure to give them strength and can be colour matched to your adjacent teeth (unlike the metal crowns). These crowns are the mainstay of modern dentistry and through different layers of porcelain, can be made in several grades of aesthetic quality. To all-ceramic crowns, porcelain crowns look most like normal teeth. However, sometimes the metal underlying the crown’s porcelain can show through as a dark line, especially at the gum line and even more so if your gums recede. These crowns can be a good choice for front or back teeth.
        • Pressed Crown-All Ceramic Crown: All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns provide better natural colour match than any other crown type and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies or cosmetically would like to change their tooth/smile appearance. Unlike other crowns, Pressed Crowns are unsupported by a ‘cap’ or substructure, and gain their strength from their fit and bond to the tooth, acting like new layers of real tooth. Pressed Crowns are, as the name suggests, a type of ceramic (lithium disilicate i.e E-MAX™) which can be pressed into the shape of a tooth and is a different way of producing a highly aesthetic crown. These type of crowns can be minimally invasive with less preparation. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth if clinically suitable.
        • Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia Crowns are very similar to Porcelain Bonded Crowns in that they are built with porcelain powder over a substructure, except the substructure is Zirconia. This is a bio-compatible man-made material which is immensely strong but also allows light to pass through it (unlike metal) enabling the most lifelike porcelain restorations possible. It is available in many shades and also, due to its high strength can be used the same way a full metal crown can, but tooth coloured. A full contour Zirconia (with no additional porcelain), is a good clinical choice for bruxists and grinders who wish not to have any metal showing on their gumline. Zirconia is the recommended choice if you are looking for an all-ceramic restoration that is fantastic aesthetically and is ultimately strong.

        Note: Our dental crowns are easily conceptualized and designed with the help of CAD/CAM and 3D printing technology. This helps our dentists and designers to curate accurate results while maintaining the diversity in shape, size, preferences and age factor.

        1.How much does a Dental Crown cost?

        The cost of a Dental Crowns depends on the type needed. You can save up to 75% on your dental treatment compared to the UK, Europe and USA.

        The prices below reflect the average minimum and maximum cost for a Dental Crown in Antalya. Please check our pricelist for our own dental treatment prices.

        • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns — £ 135 – £ 150 (per tooth)
        • Zirconium (Porcelain) Crowns — £ 180 – £ 220 (per tooth)
        • E-MAX® Crowns/Full Veneers — £ 240 – £ 280 (per tooth)
        • Temporary Crowns — £ 0 – £ 35 (per tooth)

        Dentists administer a local anesthetic before all dental crown procedures to ensure patients do not feel any pain. However, you may experience minor discomfort and mouth dryness during the procedure. After the anesthesia wears off, your jaw and the treated tooth may become sore. This pain should diminish after a few days.

        Depending on the type of crown, they can last up to 15 years. In some cases, they can last up to 20 years when taken care of properly. To ensure your crown lasts a long time, you should practice good oral care at home and get professional teeth cleanings every six months. Stainless steel crowns do not last as long and are only placed on baby (primary) teeth.

          Smile Makeover

          Flashing a beautiful smile is one of the best ways to make a good impression on other people and it can do a lot for your own self-confidence too. The problem is that most of us don’t have celebrity-grade smiles, and that can leave us feeling less than positive about the way our teeth and smiles look. The good news: Smile makeovers can help correct cosmetic flaws in your smile in less time than you probably realize. In fact, smile makeovers are so effective in transforming the way people feel about their smiles that they’ve soared in popularity in recent years. If you’ve got a cosmetic problem with your smile that is keeping you from feeling confident about those pearly whites, a smile makeover with one of our dental clinicians could be a great solution.

          What is a Smile Makeover?

          A smile makeover is just what it sounds like: a treatment or series of treatments designed to make your smile look its absolute best. Today, there are lots of options when it comes to restoring and rejuvenating your smile, and one of the great things about smile makeovers is that they’re entirely customizable. Just as your smile is completely unique to you, the treatments that can eliminate those flaws and imperfections will also be unique. At My Imperial Care, we work closely with patients to create a treatment plan that’s focused on your specific needs and goals.

          During your online consultation, you and your consultant will spend time discussing the issues you’d like to have fixed. Your smile and teeth will be evaluated, and our dental clinicians will describe options that can help you eliminate those flaws and enjoy a more beautiful, confident, and healthier-looking smile. Before your online consultation, spend a little time smiling in front of a mirror and make a list of all the issues — yes, even the tiniest ones — you’d like to fix. Having a list prepared beforehand will keep you from forgetting anything and give us a better idea of what your treatment plan should include.

          Smile Makeover Treatment Options

          Your consultant will work with you to come up with a Smile Makeover plan to meet your unique needs and give you the results you desire. During your initial visit to one of our dental clinicians we will make sure that the dentist will first address oral health concerns to make sure that your mouth is healthy enough for cosmetic treatments. After that, you will work together to decide on the best approach to correcting your smile. A smile makeover may include a combination of any of the following popular smile correction treatments:

          • E-MAX™ Veneers are layered, extremely thin sheets of lithium desilicated ceramic that are placed on teeth and bonded in place. Veneers look like natural teeth and instantly brighten, straighten, and even strengthen your smile.
          • Invisalign® can be ideal if you need braces but want to straighten your teeth in an inconspicuous way. Your dentist will give you a series of custom-fitted teeth aligner trays that will gradually straighten your smile — all without metal brackets or wires. You can easily remove them during the day to eat, brush and floss.
          • Professional teeth whitening is the most common cosmetic dental treatment amongst patients looking to brighten their smile. Whether you need a take-home whitening kit, custom-fitted teeth whitening trays, or in-office teeth whitening treatments, the highly-concentrated whitening gel used in these professional-grade options are much stronger and longer-lasting than drugstore whitening options.
          • Fillings have come a long way thanks to modern advancements in dental technologies. If you have old silver fillings, your dentist may be able to replace them with tooth-colored fillings. These fillings are made from composite resin and shaded to match your unique tooth color. The white color will make them virtually invisible to everyone.
          • If you have one or a few missing teeth, dental implants can help restore your smile. An implant is a titanium screw that acts as an artificial root for your replacement tooth. The “root” fuses to your jawbone over several months and then a dental crown is attached to it to restore full tooth functionality. Dental implants and crowns are made to look and function just like your natural teeth.
          • While dental crowns are mostly used for restorative purposes, they also offer aesthetic uses when you need a smile makeover. Because dental crowns look like natural teeth, they can be used to add length to teeth or cover up flaws like cracks, missing teeth or chips.
          • If you have missing teeth, your dentist can close — or bridge — the gaps in your smile with dental bridges. A dental bridge is a false tooth (called a pontic) that is held in place by the abutment teeth on either side of the gap. Although pontics can be made from a variety of materials they are usually made from porcelain to aesthetically blend in with your natural teeth.

          Notice: The above listed options are to be used as general guidelines only and all of these dental treatments may not work for everyone. If you think you may be a good candidate for a smile makeover, contact our online consultants for a proper consultation.

          1.Who is a good candidate for a Smile Makeover?

          We recommend that you be in good general health and have no significant signs of gum disease or other oral concerns that could affect your safety or the quality of your results. If you have any dental conditions, our dental clinicians can help you treat these before beginning your Smile Makeover.

          Since a Smile Makeover is tailored to the needs and goals of each patient, each person can expect to have a different recovery experience. Some treatments have little to no downtime and can be completed in a single office session. More commonly the procedures will be performed over two or more visits during one week with varying levels of recovery afterward. We make every effort to ensure you can return to your normal routine as quickly and as safely as possible.

          The cost for dental treatments in Turkey are determined by a low-cost policy and average living wage within the country. You can get a reliable, comfortable and high quality dentistry with up to 70% cheaper prices compared to Europe, UK and USA. The final costs for a Smile Makeover will depend on your treatment plan as each plan varies depending on the unique needs of you as a patient.
