Treatment approach
Throughout his professional life, Dr. Dirim Bozok has made it a principle to allow the necessary time for bone and gum healing rather than compressing treatments into short periods; this approach is known internationally today as slow dentistry. During the healing period, the patient's social life continues with provisional prostheses and restorations.
Dr. Dirim Bozok approaches prosthodontic and aesthetic treatments with ethical and academic principles and accurate, individual planning; the goal is permanent prostheses that are compatible with oral health, long-lasting, and that meet the patient's expectations. At the practice, all dental treatments are planned on an individual basis.
