General Dentistry
Core preventive treatments for oral and dental health
General dentistry focuses on protecting oral and dental health, detecting existing problems early, and planning the necessary treatments. In our clinic, the most common procedures in this scope include tooth extraction, fillings and scale cleaning, all of which directly affect daily comfort and quality of life.
01 - Tooth Extraction
What is tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction is the controlled removal of teeth that have lost their structure, cannot be saved with treatment, or may cause other oral health issues. The procedure is performed by our experienced dentists with patient comfort and safety as the priority.
When is extraction necessary?
- Severely decayed teeth that cannot be restored
- Fractured or cracked teeth that cannot be saved with filling or crown
- Persistent infection despite root canal treatment
- Creating space for orthodontic treatment
- Teeth that are excessively loose and cannot support surrounding tissues
How is the treatment performed?
- A detailed clinical and radiographic assessment is done first.
- The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia.
- The tooth is gently separated from bone and soft tissues and removed in a controlled manner.
- If needed, stitches are placed and the healing process begins.
Healing process
Most patients return to daily life quickly after extraction. Following the dentist's care instructions and prescribed medications helps speed healing and reduce risks.
02 - Dental Filling
What is a dental filling?
A dental filling restores teeth that have lost structure due to decay, fractures or trauma. It helps recover function, form and aesthetics. Modern composite materials allow a natural look and feel that blends with the tooth.
When is it applied?
- Early or moderate cavities
- Loss of tooth structure from cracks or fractures
- Replacing old, leaking or broken fillings
How is the treatment performed?
- Decayed or damaged tissue is removed with special instruments.
- The tooth is shaped to fit the filling material.
- Composite material is applied in layers and light-cured.
- The tooth is contoured and polished for a natural appearance.
Advantages
- Natural, aesthetic appearance
- Maintains healthy chewing function
- Helps preserve remaining tooth structure
03 - Scale Cleaning (Detartrage)
What is scale cleaning?
Scale cleaning removes tartar, plaque and bacterial buildup from tooth surfaces using ultrasonic devices and hand instruments. Regular cleaning is essential for gum health.
Why is it necessary?
- Tartar is a leading cause of gum disease
- It can contribute to bad breath (halitosis)
- It can lead to bleeding gums, redness, swelling and tooth loss over time
How is the treatment performed?
- Hard deposits are removed with ultrasonic tips.
- Hand instruments clean the gum line and tooth surfaces in detail.
- Polishing smooths the tooth surface to reduce new plaque buildup.
How often should it be done?
Depending on oral hygiene and risk factors, professional scale cleaning is generally recommended every 6 months. Regular checkups help detect issues early and prevent more extensive treatments.
