Guides, comparisons and honest answers about treatment in Istanbul — written by the clinicians who do the work.
You leave the clinic the same day with a fixed provisional bridge screwed onto the implants — never toothless, but living with a working prototype for three months.
Learn moreAn upper denture covers the palate, and the palate carries much of how food tastes and feels. An All-on-4 bridge is a horseshoe that leaves it open.
Learn moreThe lower jaw is denser than the upper, and that single fact drives almost every difference — stability on day one, healing time and how often we load immediately.
Learn moreAn arch starts at €2,900 including the fixed provisional bridge — but the honest comparison is ten years of maintenance, not the number you pay on day one.
Learn moreTranslucency, not the brand name on the block, decides whether a crown reads as a tooth or as a tile — and the stump underneath changes the answer.
Learn moreThe line at the neck of a crown usually appears because the gum moved, not because the crown failed — and where the margin was placed decides how visible it becomes.
Learn moreCold sensitivity for two to four weeks after a crown is expected and settles on its own; pain that wakes you at night or lingers after the cold is gone does not.
Learn moreA single front crown is the most demanding restoration in dentistry, because the eye compares it with the tooth two millimetres away rather than with a memory.
Learn moreA midline shifted sideways is usually invisible to everyone but the dentist; a midline that is tilted is spotted immediately, even by people who cannot say why.
Learn moreThe mock-up is the only stage where changes are free and reversible — so check it standing, in daylight, and while you are talking rather than posing.
Learn moreShades are chosen under daylight beside a window, never under the operating lamp — the same ceramic can look correct in the chair and artificial on the street.
Learn moreThe number is set by how many teeth are visible when you smile fully, not by a package — for most faces that is eight to ten upper units rather than twenty.
