Dentist in Findikli: Derya Dental Clinic

How to reach our clinic? Findikli Mahallesi, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Cad. No:17-19/21, 34854 Maltepe/Istanbul. We are conveniently located near the Maltepe coastal road, easily accessible by public transportation.


02

Dental Fillings (Restorative Treatment)

This is the most commonly performed treatment for repairing teeth damaged by decay. At our clinic, composite (white) fillings are used.

When is a filling needed?

  • When tooth decay develops
  • When old amalgam fillings need replacement
  • For repairing broken or worn teeth
  • For closing gaps between teeth

Treatment process: The decay is cleaned, a bonding agent is applied to the tooth surface, and the filling is completed with color-matched composite material. The procedure is typically completed in a single session and performed painlessly under local anesthesia.

Filling treatment price in Findikli: Filling prices vary depending on the size of the decay and the number of surfaces involved. Please call our clinic for current pricing information.


03

Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics)

This treatment is performed to save a tooth rather than extract it when the tooth nerve (pulp) becomes infected or inflamed.

Symptoms requiring root canal treatment:

  • Spontaneous, throbbing toothache
  • Prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold
  • Tooth discoloration (darkening)
  • Swelling or fistula (abscess) on the gum
  • Pain during chewing

Treatment process: The infected nerve tissue inside the tooth is cleaned, the root canals are shaped, disinfected, and filled with biocompatible material. A crown is usually placed on top to strengthen the tooth.

How many sessions does it take? Generally 1-2 sessions are sufficient. In acute abscess cases, sessions may be scheduled after antibiotic treatment.


04

Dental Scaling (Scaling and Polishing)

This involves cleaning plaque and tartar (calculus) deposits from teeth using an ultrasonic device. It is the most effective method for preventing gum disease.

Why should you get dental scaling?

  • Prevents gum inflammation (gingivitis)
  • Slows gum recession
  • Reduces bad breath
  • Helps teeth regain their natural color
  • Reduces the risk of periodontitis (advanced gum disease)

How often should it be done? Dental scaling is recommended every 6 months. For individuals with gum disease, it may be needed every 3-4 months.

Does it hurt? Scaling performed with modern ultrasonic devices is generally painless or causes minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia can be applied for patients with sensitive gums.


05

Tooth Extraction

This is the removal of teeth that cannot be treated, are severely decayed, or show mobility. At our clinic, both simple extraction and surgical extraction (including impacted tooth removal) are performed.

When is tooth extraction necessary?

  • Teeth too damaged to be saved by root canal treatment
  • Teeth with excessive mobility due to advanced periodontitis
  • Teeth that need to be removed to create space for orthodontic treatment
  • Impacted wisdom teeth (third molar extraction)
  • Broken or cracked teeth

Impacted tooth extraction: Extraction of semi-impacted or fully impacted wisdom teeth, particularly in the lower jaw, is performed by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery specialist. When necessary, assessment is done with panoramic X-ray or 3D tomography.


06

Teeth Whitening (Bleaching)

With professional teeth whitening, your teeth can be lightened by several shades in a single session. In-office whitening is performed at our clinic.

Who is whitening suitable for?

  • Teeth discolored by tea, coffee, or tobacco
  • Teeth that have yellowed with age
  • Patients who want their natural color lightened

Who is whitening not suitable for?

  • Individuals under 18 years of age
  • Pregnant and breastfeeding women
  • Individuals with advanced gum disease
  • Teeth with many fillings or crowns (filling/crown color does not change)

How long do results last? Depending on dietary and oral care habits, the effect is maintained for 1-3 years.


07

Prosthetic Dental Treatments

These are removable or fixed prosthetic solutions for replacing missing teeth.

Fixed Prosthesis (Bridge)

A method where one or several missing teeth are covered by attaching the prosthesis to adjacent teeth in a fixed manner. Zirconia and metal-supported porcelain options are available.

Removable Prosthesis (Denture)

Prostheses that the patient can insert and remove, applied when all or many teeth are missing.

  • Complete denture: For patients missing all teeth
  • Partial denture: For patients missing some teeth

Implant-Supported Prosthesis

Fixed prostheses placed on implants. Much more comfortable and natural-feeling compared to removable prostheses. Detailed information about implant treatment


08

Dental Crowns

Full-coverage restorations placed over teeth with excessive material loss, root canal treatment, or fractures.

Crown types:

  • Zirconia crown: Metal-free, natural-looking, durable. Provides aesthetic results especially in both anterior and posterior teeth.
  • Metal-supported porcelain: A durable and economical option preferred for posterior teeth.
  • E-max (full ceramic): Thin ceramic crowns offering superior aesthetics for anterior teeth.

Detailed information about zirconia crowns


09

Laminate Veneers (Porcelain Veneers)

A treatment that provides smile aesthetics through thin porcelain layers bonded to the front surface of teeth. Minimal material is removed from the tooth structure.

Who are laminate veneers suitable for?

  • Those who want to close gaps between teeth
  • Those with mild crowding or shape irregularities
  • Teeth with permanent color changes
  • Those who want a smile makeover

Detailed information about laminate veneers


10

Orthodontics (Braces and Clear Aligners)

Treatments applied to straighten crooked teeth, correct bite disorders, and achieve an aesthetic smile.

Treatment options:

  • Metal braces: The classic and most effective method
  • Ceramic (aesthetic) brackets: Less visible braces treatment
  • Clear aligners (Invisalign-type): Wire-free, removable, invisible orthodontics
  • Lingual braces: Braces attached to the inner surface of teeth, invisible from outside

Treatment duration: Ranges from 6 months to 2 years depending on the complexity of the case.
