Dentistry FAQ

How safe is cosmetic dentistry?

While general dentistry offers preventative or restorative dental treatments that restore function as well as appearance, cosmetic dentistry specifically aims to improve the appearance of the teeth and the beauty of the smile.

Getting cosmetic dental procedures from anywhere other than a qualified dentist and a fully equipped clinic creates a significant level of risk for side effects and undesired results.

As long as the treatment is done correctly by a qualified dentist the risks are minimal and cosmetic dentistry procedures are perfectly safe.

Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

With the advances in technology and dental procedure techniques, cosmetic dentistry is mostly pain-free. Thanks to the sedation administered the patient feels no discomfort during their cosmetic dentistry procedure, although in some cases there might be slight discomfort after the procedure, the patient will be provided with painkillers to help manage the discomfort.

What are permanent fake teeth called?

Dental crowns are fixed prosthetics, tooth-shaped caps that are permanently cemented onto the natural teeth or on top of dental implants with the purpose of covering a damaged or chipped tooth. Dental implants are inserted directly into the jaw and act as a base for dental crowns.

How long do veneers last?

Veneers last approximately 10 to 15 years if certain habits like grinding the teeth or chewing on pen tips are avoided.

How long do cosmetic teeth last?

This would depend on the type of the prosthetic applied during the cosmetic dental procedure. Teeth whitening lasts up to 3 years, composite bonding lasts up to 10 years and dental crowns last 10 to 15, while dental laminates last 5 to 15 years as long as they are well taken care of.

What is the difference between dentures and cosmetic dentures?

Dentures are prosthetic teeth supported by a plastic base that blends in with the gums. They can be manufactured using different types of materials, which can affect their appearance. Cosmetic dentures use specialized materials to replace missing teeth and restore function all while improving the aesthetics of the smile.

Gary Rae reviewed Should have done this last year

From start to finish with BOOKING SURGERY the experience has been one I will never forget. From the coordinator David Turker to the transfer driver and staff at the hospital I cannot find fault with them at all. My surgeon Kagan Katar was so professional it is unbelievable these guys go so far out their way to make you feel comfortable and at home with in these amazing facilities Yasam Hospital in Istanbul. I spoke myself out it last year but made myself come this year and I am totally amazed by the overwhelming hospitality I have received and the care team are the most important team going. They look after you before and once you come out your surgery which I may add is only about 2 hours. So anyone thinking seriously about this I would recommend these guys 150% can ask for any more from them made me feel so so welcome.

Debbie Fitzpatrick reviewed Booking Surgery experience

Good company to deal with I was given my own coordinator Rossie who dealt with all my questions quickly and efficiently, thank you, Rossie. From initial booking of surgery to return home everything ran smoothly. The hospital was nice and staff were friendly a big shout out to Mary one of the kindest compassionate nurses i have ever met you are a credit to your profession. There are interpretors on call 24/7 who are always willing to help. My one criticism us the hospital food which is aweful but sure this is out of tge companies control. However the interpretors Naz, Morgan, Lily, Nadia always willing to help and happy to go to the mall next door to pick up food for you if desired thank you guys, plus the little kitchen provided tea, coffee, protein shakes etc so you could rustle up tea and toast if needed. My surgeon was Dr Soner and he is the most wonderful humble person he certainly is incredably talented. I would use this company again and would recommend to friends and family.
