Cosmetic Dentistry in Turkey: What You Need To Know

Your perception of how you look can make or break your self esteem. Teeth contribute to your facial appearance, and they can make you have a great smile or one that you feel like you need to hide when you meet people. Discoloured, stained, broken, misaligned, and missing teeth need not be your worry as cosmetic dentists can rectify them. 
Here are procedures that Cosmetic dentistry in Turkey can perform to make your smile a bright one.

1) Veneers
Dental veneers can help remedy crooked, stained, or broken teeth as they are made to suit each patient’s needs. They can also whiten your teeth and protect them from thin or damaged enamel. They look like your natural teeth, and even after their placement, one can hardly tell they are not part of you.

A cosmetic surgeon from UK Smiles uses veneers to cover the front of your teeth. There are different types of veneers, such as laminate, zirconium, and EMAX, which you can opt to have to improve your smile. They get attached to the teeth with the use of a dental adhesive to keep them in place.

2) Teeth Whitening
Teeth get stained from drinks, food, medicine, and smoking. While using toothpaste can help clean your teeth, the original colour can dull over time, and you may need to brighten it up. Whitening teeth is a less expensive procedure as you can do it at home if you have the right products.

You can do it at a dental clinic to avoid damaging your teeth as your dentist can choose the right products to clean them. Your teeth may have a build-up of tartar, plaque, and other dirt, which needs to clear off before the whitening or bleaching process takes place.

3) Inlays And Onlays
Indirect fillings or inlays and outlays are appropriate to use if your teeth have mild decay or there is no space for a complete fill in the tooth. The inlays get placed on the surface of the tooth while onlays cover the entire surface. These indirect fillings help avoid further tooth decay, strengthen teeth, and restore the shape.


4) Dental Bonding
Dental bonding helps remedy chipped, cracked, misshapen, or decayed teeth. The bonding is a plastic material applied to the affected tooth, which is later hardened with laser or ultraviolet light. The dentist can then shape, polish, or trim it to perfection.

Bonding does not take time as it takes 30 minutes to an hour to be complete. Instead of using silver or amalgam fillings, you can have dental bonding as an alternative.

5) Crown
A decayed, cracked, misshapen, or discoloured tooth can have a dental crown as a suitable procedure. A crown can strengthen weak teeth, cover discoloration, and keep cracked ones in place. Metal, ceramic, or resin are the primary materials that make dental crowns.

6) Implants
Tooth loss can make eating a problem and cause your appearance to age. Dental implants can help remedy it as they act as replacements for the lost teeth. The implants resemble your natural teeth and permanently stay in place. You, however, need to practice good dental hygiene to avoid plaque building on the implants.

Lookfantastic Beauty Box November Edition 2020

I am really chuffed to be sharing the November 'Firecracker' Edition from Lookfantastic and it has been curated to help you to embrace the colder evenings with some cosy nights in.  
Lookfantastic November Box 2020
It features 6 beauty products which are picked with the hope they help you to indulge your senses as well as take some time out for yourself.

The first product to catch my eye within this box comes from Philip Kingsley with the Pure Colour Frizz-Fighting Gloss, a product I have not yet tried from the brand.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box November Edition 2020
Described as being the perfect way to extend your colour between appointments and nourish chemical-treated strands, Philip Kingsley’s Pure Colour Frizz Fighting Gloss grants a beautifully sleek and smooth finish.  Designed to supplement your heat-styling routine, this treatment gives your hair a weightless veil to give that mirror like shame whilst at the same time taming any wayward frizz. Protecting the hair up to 190°C, it also defends against UV damage and free radicals in order to maintain the vibrancy of your colour. The formula is infused with a lightweight blend of silicones, which it is said won’t build up on your hair, their role is to protect and condition for a high-shine finish. There is also the inclusion of phytantriol which also encourages suppleness and sheen as it improves the texture of damaged, chemical-treated hair and boosts moisture retention.

The second product within the box comes from ThisWorks with the Perfect Legs Skin Miracle, a product I haven't used for a very long time.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box November Edition 2020
Described as being a tinted serum that applies effortlessly to deliver subtle colour and a sun-kissed glow. It used a delicate blend of Caramel and Arnica which works to smooth the surface texture of the skin as well as to hydrate. To do that, the formula is enriched with Vitamin C and E. The texture is one which applies effortlessly to the skin and as it does so, the non-greasy formula blends seamlessly to conceal the appearance of bruising and imperfections, whilst evening out skin tone and creating a natural-looking sheen.  As well as being used on the legs, you can also use it all over the body to give that sun kissed look.

The third product within this box comes from a really lovely brand which I am getting to know called Polaar, and the product is the Ice Pure Micellar Water with Arctic Cotton.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box November Edition 2020
Designed to expertly cleanse the skin, lips and eyes without over-drying or leaving behind a feeling of uncomfortable tightness. Polaar harnesses the powers of Arctic Cotton, the gentle cleanser effortlessly eliminates dirt, pollution and even the most stubborn make-up to reveal a clearer, brighter complexion. Delivers long-lasting moisture and hydration to leave skin feeling soft, supple and revitalised.

The fourth product comes from Nails Inc and we have Portland Square as the shade within this box, seemingly perfectly in keeping with the theme of the box.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box November Edition 2020
Portland Square is an orange shade with red tones to it and it uses charcoal as an ingredient to care for your nails by promoting growth and protecting them against environmental aggressors.

The fifth product out of the box comes from Lord & Berry, a brand I got to know through beauty boxes such as this one and it is the Line/Shade Glam Eye Pencil in a Golden Bronze shade.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box November Edition 2020
This pencil is super soft when applying onto the skin, be it your lash line or even on your lids. It boasts a creamy formula which blends effortlessly to give you that bright eyed awake look and is being really pigmented it does stand out.

The final product within this box comes from Naobay and this is also a brand I have got to know through beauty boxes.  From the brand this time comes the Detox Oxygen Light Cream.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box November Edition 2020
Using the antioxidant power of green tea to work alongside the protective properties of Ginkgo biloba to act as a shield against daily aggressions.  Then there is the inclusion of raspberry which works to protect your skin from the loss of water and finally aloe vera for its calming properties.  What all of this gives is a cream which is lightweight in texture and also non-greasy. 

This months box offers quite the eclectic mixture of products and you can create easily put an afternoon aside to use them within a pampering session.   Lookfantastic is, as I am sure you will know a monthly beauty box subscription service which costs as little as £13 per month here* and this box has contents worth just short of £60.

Or it would also make the most amazing gift too!

Both of these bags come presented inside a black Rains bag which has a value of approximately £25.
SELFRIDGES HIS & HERS BEAUTY BAGS 2020
