Oral and dental health is a set of practices that ensure that your mouth and teeth are healthy. These practices help prevent and treat oral and dental diseases.

Oral and dental health is a health field that includes preventive, therapeutic and protective applications to protect the health of the structures in the mouth (teeth, gums, tongue, lips, jaw bones, palate, etc.) and to protect these structures from diseases. Oral and dental health is closely linked to overall health, and good oral health supports overall body health.  One of the most important things you can do to protect your oral and dental health is to go for regular dental check-ups. Your dentist can check your oral and dental health and treat any problems.

Implants

It is the application that will make people feel their natural teeth again in the most comfortable way in case of tooth loss. With the implant placed only in the missing tooth area, the gaps caused by tooth loss are easily eliminated and chewing function is restored. Bridge prosthesis, which is made by abrading the teeth in front of and behind the gap in order to eliminate the missing tooth gap, is prevented. Your missing teeth are completed with implants placed in your jawbone through a small surgical procedure. Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, no pain is felt during the procedure.

Revolution in Implants: CAP-CAM

CAD-CAM (Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing) is a computer-assisted technology used to design and produce crowns that mimic your natural teeth, placed over the implant. Thanks to this technology, the implant process, which used to take a long time in traditional applications, can now be completed on the same day. At Liv Hospital's Oral and Dental Health Clinic, you can benefit from this technology and receive your implants within hours.

Wisdom Tooth Operations

There is no harm in keeping a wisdom tooth that has erupted in the correct position and does not damage the surrounding tissues. However, if it causes decay, gum disease, cyst formation, pressure pain, it may need to be removed.

Zygoma Implants

Advanced bone resorption in the upper jaw can occur as a result of systemic and local factors such as early tooth loss, gum disease, tumor removal. In these cases where there is not enough and suitable upper jaw bone for dental implants, zygoma (cheekbone) implants are successful alternatives.

Preventive Treatment with Early Diagnosis

Thanks to early diagnosis, preventive treatments can prevent bigger problems in the future. Radiographs are used for diagnosis during patient examinations. It is aimed to detect and evaluate pathologies or anomalies with radiographs taken of the mouth, teeth and jaw area. In the light of this information, an individual-specific treatment plan is prepared and patients are referred to the relevant specialists.

Special Clinic for Children

Children should be taken to the dentist for a check-up after the first tooth erupts. After that, a visit to the dentist for a check-up should be repeated every 6 months. It should be remembered that the first visit to the dentist is very important for children. If the child meets the doctor for routine check-ups without any pain, before the teeth have decayed or the decay has progressed, they will not think of these visits as painful and will not develop dental phobia.

At Liv Hospital Oral and Dental Health Clinic, pedodontic physicians determine the most appropriate treatment protocol for your child and apply it successfully. Stem cells are the mother cells that make up the entire tissue and organ system during development and growth and are also responsible for the development and repair of this system. One of the most important features of dental stem cells is that their ability to transform into nerve cells is higher than other cells.

When deciduous and permanent teeth are extracted and stored under appropriate conditions, the cells obtained can be a source of stem cells. Deciduous teeth, wisdom teeth, teeth that need to be extracted for orthodontic treatment can be a source of stem cells. When the teeth are extracted, care should be taken to ensure that there is no caries in the tooth and that root resorption has not started in deciduous teeth. Stem cells obtained from teeth can be used in the treatment of many diseases that may be encountered in the future when stored under appropriate conditions.
