Frequently Asked Questions

A dental implant is a medical procedure where a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Then, an artificial crown is placed on top to restore the tooth permanently and naturally.

Recovery time varies from person to person, but generally it takes 3 to 6 months for the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone before placing the final crown.

There’s a big difference between whitening and veneers in terms of purpose, method, and result. Here's a simple breakdown:

Teeth Whitening
Purpose: Lighten the natural color of your teeth.
Result: Same tooth shape, just whiter.
Duration: Usually one or two sessions, results last for months depending on care.
Best for: Teeth stained from food, drinks (coffee, tea), or smoking.

Veneers
Purpose: Enhance the entire look of the teeth (color, shape, size).
Method: A thin layer of porcelain or composite is placed on the front surface of the teeth.
Result: Changes the color, shape, and size of the teeth – like a permanent filter.
Duration: Usually takes 2–3 visits.
Best for: Severe discoloration, chips, gaps, or for a full "Hollywood smile".

👉 So, if you just want to brighten your smile a few shades, whitening is your go-to. But if you want to reshape or fix imperfections, veneers are the better option.

Yes, all gum-related cosmetic and medical issues can be treated easily using a laser device.

It’s the removal of harmful tartar to protect the gums from inflammation, prevent gum recession, and eliminate bad breath. It's a therapeutic procedure, not a whitening one, but it can remove surface stains, which may make the teeth appear slightly whiter.

Not necessarily. After an examination, we perform 2D and 3D imaging right in the clinic. Based on the results, we determine whether the tooth needs to be removed and the most suitable method—whether a simple extraction or a surgical one—depending on the case.

Necessary X-rays are taken in the clinic, then the decay is cleaned and the type of filling is determined. If the decay is deep and has reached the nerve, root canal treatment is done. If it's not deep, a regular filling can solve the problem.
