Faculty of Dentistry and Dental Hospital
Our door to Europe in Dentistry : Yeditepe Faculty of Dentistry and Dental Hospital
Dental treatment is something everyone fears from childhood and usually abstains from. When you go through the doors of Yeditepe University Dentistry Faculty Hospital-established on the Anatolian side of Istanbul in 1996- you find yourself in a comfortable setting rather than a frightening one. As stated by Prof. Dr. Türker Sandalli, establishing dean of the Dentistry Faculty and the hospital, 'People First' strategy can bee seen throughout treatment and through radiant physicians and staff. Sterilization of the instruments used and treatment units in terms of infection control is an important issue at the Yeditepe Dentistry Faculty Hospital. As a proof of this, treatment in Yeditepe Dentistry Faculty Hospital clinics is performed under BS-EN ISO 9001 European quality management system. This system contributes to the continuity for the services provided. Besides, waiting rooms and lounges and clinics have been designed with care with patients' coziness in mind..
As with general medicine, specialization in dentistry provides efficiency in treatment with dentists who are adept at their own fields. Treatment in Yeditepe Dentistry Faculty Hospital is provided by specialized staff members. Hence, we provide nonparail treatment to our patients.
Seeing the competent staff members and equipment of the faculty’s esthetic dentistry department, will increase your trust and belief in receiving the best treatment in the recently growing field of esthetic dentistry. Seeing sample photos of patients who have received teeth whitening, laser treatment, composite and porcelain laminates, will make you realize what a difference it makes to have such treatment and make you aware of your needs. In the esthetic clinic, laminate veneers to repair appearance or color of the teeth provide a technique to correct spaces between the front teeth, and improve aesthetics especially in younger patients.
Porcelain laminates are used where a better esthetic outcome is required and for larger number of teeth.
Alternative therapy techniques are used for patients who have dentist anxiety. Our hospital provides painless and no anesthesia treatment techniques with laser. Treatment and surgery under general anesthesia is also practiced in the hospital alongside of hypnosis technique.
We also accommodate older patients with a solution to removable denture prosthesis. Through distraction osteogenesis- an alternative jaw surgery and bone grafting technique allows the lengthening of the jaw bone. Hence the space prepared allows the implanting of new teeth and creates a natural comfort with the use of these teeth Our surgery clinic accommodates oral disease diagnosis and treatment as well as oral surgery such as tooth removing, surgical removal of embedded tooth. Additionally a single operation under general anesthesia to accommodate all procedures is available in the operation theaters.
In the laser clinic different types of laser equipment allow painless treatment for several different surgical and treatment procedures. Laser is also used in the treatment of sensitive teeth, gum surgeries and esthetical contouring of the gums.
Periodontology clinics provide diagnosis and treatment of teeth and tissues surrounding the teeth. It also provides gum disease diagnosis and treatment to preserve health. Gum diseases include gingivitis to periodontitis where the jaw bone disintegrates due to infection. One of the main aims in the treatment of such diseases is to re-create the lost teeth and jaw tissue. Special bone grafting tools are used for this purpose Studies in the molecular biology field in the recent years have allowed a new vision in recuperation of teeth supporting tissue. Growth factors are used in order to support and stimulate lost tissue generation. Such treatment using specific biomaterials for growth factor, allow a hopeless case of tooth removal to remain in its place. Coming to a conclusion, “Being toothless” nowadays is no destiny.
Days of being too old, too late for orthodontic treatment is way past. Both children and adolescents can now benefit from orthodontic treatment and gain their long desired smile. Sometimes small orthodontic treatment before esthetical procedures creates better results than just a single application. Today’s technology creates a more comfortable and desirable wearing of orthodontic braces with their less visual compositions. Small transparent devices or braces implemented on the inner teeth create alternatives to traditional braces. More complicated treatment and multi-disciplinary jaw-face deformality cases, are discussed in joint councils with medical faculties and are treated in the orthodontic clinic.
Children are treated in a specially prepared clinic. Protective enamel polishing as well as fluoride treatment will prevent cavities in children for many years. Children are treated while watching cartoons on screens across their seats. To prevent future deviations due to early tooth loss, small apparatus can be placed into the empty spot, children with missing teeth can have denture prosthetics from an early age and when needed treatment can be done under general anesthesia in the operating theaters.
Additionally during treatment children receive tooth brushing training and the parents are given healthy feeding tips for healthy teeth.
Today’s most modern treatment system of tooth implantation and implant restoration planning have utmost importance. This kind of treatment aims a natural looking smile and tried to prevent patients from the uncomfortable nature of prosthetic dentures. Teeth with cavities or teeth remaining with just a root due to trauma can all have prosthesis placed on them. In treating loss teeth regaining of chewing is aimed along with esthetical purposes. Having a great smile is a great self confidence and the first step to comfortable social relationships.
Here we also treat stress related problems such as muscle spasms in jaw joints, facial pains, teeth grinding . Jaw joint and facial pain due to stress and jaw joint pain due to teeth grinding are treated by specialized staff in our clinic. It will not be surprising to say that snoring can also be controlled via small apparatus implantation.
Here, it is out of fashion to think that dentists cure teeth only.
Along with all this information, when you come to our hospital, receive treatment and leave happy, it will be an accomplishment on out part too. Health is only complete when it is physical and psychological. We have created an environment where while treating the physical needs, we also aim relaxation of the mind. All these details and differences have been created with our patients in mind.
