What is Biological Dentistry, and How Does It Differ from Conventional Dentistry?
Biological dentistry does not view oral health separately from overall body health; it prioritizes the biocompatibility of materials used in treatments, the reduction of exposure to toxic substances, and a holistic approach.
Are Ceramic Implants Safer Than Titanium Implants?
Ceramic (zirconia) implants do not contain metal, which is why they are generally considered more suitable for patients with metal allergies or sensitivities. Titanium implants are also safe; however, ceramic implants are preferred by those seeking a completely metal-free option.
Should I Have My Amalgam Fillings Removed?
Amalgam fillings contain mercury; if there are deteriorated, cracked, or old fillings, their safe removal using the SMART protocol is recommended. There may be no urgency for intact and problem-free fillings, and a clinical evaluation is important.
Is the Durability of Ceramic Implants as Good as That of Titanium Implants?
Modern zirconia implants have high durability and show success rates close to those of titanium in many cases; however, a dentist's evaluation is necessary depending on the type of case, bone structure, and implant site.
Can Treatments Such as Ozone Therapy and PRF Be Applied to Every Patient?
These treatments are generally safe; however, their suitability is evaluated according to the patient's general health condition, medications, and treatment needs. The dentist provides guidance on this matter during the initial examination.
Is SMART Amalgam Removal Painful?
Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, no pain is felt; however, mild, temporary sensitivity may occur afterward.
Is Amalgam Removal Without the SMART Protocol Dangerous?
Removal performed without standard precautions may increase exposure to mercury vapor and particles; therefore, it is recommended to choose a clinic that applies the SMART protocol.
How Long Do Ceramic Implants Last?
With proper care, regular check-ups, and good oral hygiene, ceramic implants can be used without problems for many years or even a lifetime.
Is There an Aesthetic Difference Between Ceramic and Titanium Implants?
Yes.
Since ceramic implants are white in color, they do not create a metallic appearance even in cases of gum recession, providing an aesthetic advantage, particularly for implants in the front region.
What Is the Difference Between PRF and PRP?
While anticoagulant chemicals are used in the preparation of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), PRF is obtained through a completely natural centrifugation process and does not contain any additional additives.
How Long Does the Effect of PRF Last?
PRF supports healing by releasing growth factors in the area where it is applied for several weeks; its lasting tissue/bone regeneration effect becomes evident within 2–3 months.
10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Dentists

Your transparent and reliable guide to our treatment processes, clinical procedures, and all the details you may have questions about.
Is Bleeding Gums Normal?
It is generally a sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis); if it does not improve with regular brushing and flossing, professional cleaning is required.
Does Teeth Whitening Damage Teeth?
When performed correctly (especially under the supervision of a dentist), it does not cause permanent damage to the enamel structure, but it may cause temporary sensitivity.
Why Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?
They are usually removed because there is not enough space for them in the jaw, they erupt at an angle, or they pose a risk of damaging adjacent teeth.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
With modern anesthesia techniques, no pain is felt during the procedure; mild sensitivity may occur for a few days afterward.
Why Is Dental Floss Necessary After Brushing?
A toothbrush cannot completely remove plaque between teeth and along the gum line; dental floss reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Does Dental Scaling (Tartar Removal) Damage Teeth?
No, on the contrary, it protects the gums and teeth; some patients may experience temporary sensitivity.
Should Decayed Baby Teeth Be Treated Even Though They Will Eventually Fall Out?
Yes, they should be treated; premature loss can negatively affect jaw development and the alignment of permanent teeth.
Which Is Better: An Implant or a Bridge?
It depends on the situation; an implant may offer greater long-term advantages if there is sufficient jawbone, while a bridge requires support from adjacent teeth.
What Causes Tooth Sensitivity and How Can It Be Relieved?
It may be caused by worn enamel, gum recession, or tooth decay; desensitizing toothpastes and a dental examination are recommended.
Is Dental Treatment Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes, routine treatments can be safely performed, particularly during the second trimester; X-rays and medication selection should be coordinated with the dentist.
