At our clinic in Caddebostan every treatment — from implants to orthodontics — is planned on digital radiographs and intraoral scans, so what will be done, how long it takes and why it is needed is discussed with you before anything begins.

You do not need to know which treatment you need. Pick whichever line below sounds closest to your situation — the relevant treatments and what to expect are explained there.
All 32 teeth are laid out on the arch with their FDI numbers. Choose a group and the teeth it covers are marked, with a link through to the related treatments.
The map is for information only and does not replace an examination. Numbering follows the FDI two-digit system.
Every treatment begins with an examination, radiographic assessment and a conversation about the alternatives. Each page below sets out the procedure, how long it takes and what to watch for afterwards.
Move the brush over the teeth and clear the plaque off all of them before time runs out. The back teeth carry thicker plaque — exactly as they do in real life.
When brushing is cut short, some tooth surfaces are never reached at all. Two minutes is the shortest time in which every surface gets its turn.
A digital workflow is not a showcase. It narrows the margin for error, shortens treatment and lets us show you what will be done before it is done.
Radiographic imaging is performed only when clinically necessary and at the lowest reasonably achievable dose.
A low-dose image of both jaws: decay, impacted teeth and bone level assessed in a single frame.
Every instrument used in the clinic follows a traceable route. We describe that chain here, because it is what a patient should know without having to ask.
Instruments go straight into a disinfectant solution as they leave the treatment room.
Residue invisible to the eye is removed mechanically in an ultrasonic bath.
Two dentists work at the clinic and each carries out treatment personally. Knowing who does what beforehand is the shortest route to a relaxed first appointment.

The first appointment takes around 30 to 40 minutes. We listen to your concern, examine your mouth and, where needed, take a panoramic radiograph. We then talk through the current picture, the treatment options and the likely timescales. Unless there is acute pain, treatment does not have to start the same day — you are given time to see the plan and decide.
Procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia, and the aim is that you feel no pain. Topical gel is applied before the injection and the injection itself is given slowly. We check that the numbness is sufficient before starting and top it up if not. If you are uncomfortable during treatment, simply raise your hand and we stop.
Yes. An untreated dental infection carries more risk than the treatment itself. The most comfortable window is the second trimester (weeks 14 to 27); emergencies are treated at any stage. Radiographs are taken only when necessary and with a lead apron. Please tell us that you are pregnant, how many weeks, and what medication you take before the appointment.
In most cases yes — but do NOT stop your medication on your own initiative. Stopping an anticoagulant can carry more serious consequences than the bleeding risk. Bring the name and dose of your medication and your most recent INR if you have one; where needed we contact your physician and plan accordingly.
The dose from digital dental radiographs is very low; a panoramic film is comparable to the natural background radiation received during a few hours of air travel. Even so, radiographs are taken only when clinically necessary and at the lowest reasonable dose. That principle is applied even more strictly in pregnancy, for children and where frequent imaging would otherwise be needed.
For adults without symptoms, a check-up every six months is enough. With a history of gum disease, smoking, high decay risk, orthodontic treatment or implants, the interval may shorten to three months. The point of a check-up is not to wait for pain but to catch problems while they are still small.

Book an appointment: we will assess where things stand and talk through the options and how long each takes.
Your request is confirmed the same day.
Caddebostan, Kadıköy — a short walk from Bağdat Avenue.
A brush reaches roughly two thirds of the tooth surface. The gaps need floss or an interdental brush — that is where most decay begins.
Pressing hard wears down enamel and gums. Hold the brush at about 45 degrees to the gum line and work in small circles.
Decay caught early is done in one visit; left alone it turns into root canal treatment. A check-up is always shorter and easier than the treatment.
The game is for fun and does not replace an examination or treatment. Real brushing is twice a day, two minutes each time.
Book a check-upFrom the first appointment to the review. Durations vary by treatment; a schedule specific to you is drawn up at the examination.
A scan instead of impression putty — comfort for patients with a strong gag reflex, micron-level data for the laboratory.
For aesthetic work, proposed tooth length and form are reviewed together on screen before any preparation begins.
Implant angle and depth are planned on tomographic data, so placement follows the plan rather than the hand.
We listen to your complaint, examine the mouth and take the radiographs needed to establish where things stand.
Options, durations and the pros and cons of each are discussed; the decision is made together.
Appointments are planned around what is needed; pain control and comfort come first during the procedure.
A follow-up appointment and an oral care routine suited to you are agreed after treatment.
Instruments are pouched individually and sterilised in a 134 °C steam autoclave.
Each pouch's sterilisation indicator is checked before use, and the pouch is opened in front of you.
