Treatment Philosophy

Dr. Hilmi Kul believes that the best “prosthesis” is the patient’s own preserved tooth. In his work he places emphasis on:

• treatment that is as gentle and pain-free as possible;
• detailed diagnostics and planning under magnification;
• preserving as much of the tooth’s own tissue as possible;
• explaining all stages and options of treatment in a way the patient can understand;
• a long-lasting result and regular follow-up after treatment is completed.
