100% digital dentistry.

No trays, no putty, no gagging. A small camera builds a 3D model of your teeth in a few minutes, and everything downstream — the design, the milling, the fit — runs from that file. It is not a gimmick: it is the reason a case that used to take three appointments often takes one.

What "fully digital" actually means here

Traditional dentistry runs on physical steps: a tray full of impression material held in your mouth while it sets, a plaster model poured from it, a technician working by hand from that model. Every one of those steps copies the previous one — and every copy loses a little accuracy.

A digital workflow replaces the chain with a single file. The intraoral scanner captures your teeth as a 3D model; the restoration is designed on that model on screen; the design is milled or printed from the same data. Nothing is copied, so nothing drifts. And because the file exists, your case can be reopened years later — for a replacement crown, a new night guard, a comparison of how your gums have changed.

Where it changes your appointment

  1. Scanning instead of traysA camera the size of an electric toothbrush passes over your teeth. It takes a few minutes, you can swallow normally, and there is nothing to gag on. If the scan is imperfect at one point, we re-scan that point only — not the whole arch.
  2. Designing while you watchYour smile design, implant position or aligner sequence is drawn on the screen in front of you, and you can ask for changes before anything is made.
  3. Planning implants in 3DCBCT shows bone height, width, the nerve and the sinus in cross-section. The implant position is decided on that scan rather than estimated from a flat X-ray.
  4. Milling in-houseMany crowns, veneers and temporaries are produced from the same file on site, which removes shipping days from your schedule — the reason a treatment week can be a week rather than three trips.

What digital does not do

It does not treat anybody. A scanner cannot decide whether a tooth should be saved or removed, whether your bite will tolerate ceramic, or how much enamel to leave. Digital tools remove error and waiting from the process; the judgement is still the dentist's, which is why the same person examines you, designs your case and fits it.

What the published evidence says A systematic review of 17 studies (9 of them randomised controlled trials), covering 430 digital scans and 370 conventional impressions in 437 patients, found that intraoral scanning was faster than conventional impressions for both quadrant and full-arch work, that patients generally preferred it, and that the resulting restorations performed comparably. In a randomised crossover trial on implant crowns, 80% of patients preferred the digital scan against 2% for the conventional impression, reporting significantly less discomfort, breathlessness and anxiety — with no difference in the quality of the finished restoration. A separate randomised crossover trial in children measured scanning as roughly two minutes faster per arch, with less gag reflex and easier breathing. Siqueira R, Galli M, Chen Z, et al.

Your file goes home with you

Ask for it. The scan, the design and the shade record are yours, and any dentist with a modern laboratory can read them. It is the difference between a restoration that can be matched again in ten years and one that has to be guessed at.

Why it matters more when you are travelling

Fewer appointments and no posted impressions means a treatment plan that fits into the days you actually have in Antalya. It also means the follow-up can be remote: comparing a new scan or a photograph against the original file is something that works perfectly well from another country.

About timings Every figure on this page is a typical range drawn from routine cases. Your own schedule depends on bone quality, gum health, how many teeth are involved and how your body heals — it is assessed and decided by Dt. Koyuncu after a clinical examination, and adjusted if your case asks for it.

Questions patients ask

Is the scan uncomfortable?
Most people describe it as unremarkable — a small camera moving over the teeth while you breathe and swallow normally. The trials that measured it found significantly less gagging and breathlessness than with conventional impression trays.
Does digital mean faster treatment?
Usually fewer steps and less waiting, yes — the published data shows scanning itself is faster, and in-house milling removes laboratory shipping days. It does not shorten biology: an implant still needs its healing months, whatever the workflow.
Is a milled restoration as good as a handmade one?
The randomised comparisons found no difference in the quality of the finished restorations. For front teeth we still hand-finish and characterise the ceramic — the digital part gets the shape and the fit right; the human part gets the light right.
