Direct composite bonding for small aesthetic corrections. Veneers and smile design are planned and carried out by Dr. Öztürk.

Prevention

Preventive care and check-ups

Professional cleaning · check-ups · recall

Professional cleaning, regular check-ups and recall visits, so small problems are caught before they need larger treatment.
