GENERAL DENTISTRY
Tooth filling
When do you need a filling?
A filling is necessary when a tooth has decayed due to cavities, or when an old filling has cracked. At our clinic, we use the latest techniques to restore both the function and aesthetic of your tooth.
How is the filling done?
After a local anesthetic is applied, the tooth is carefully cleaned. If you're concerned about the pain of the anesthetic, we offer a painless local anesthesia system called the Wand, which minimizes the discomfort associated with the procedure.
Once the tooth is ready, the filling is applied using composite resin (white filling), which is then hardened using a special light to ensure long-lasting durability. Afterward, the filling is polished and adjusted so that it fits perfectly with the opposing teeth, ensuring that you won't feel the filling as "high."
What to expect after the filling?
It is normal to experience some sensitivity to cold and slight discomfort when pressure is applied to the new filling, especially in the first few days. However, this discomfort typically decreases over time and eventually disappears.
If the pain persists or intensifies, please contact us for further instructions and to assess the situation.
Our Guarantee:
Our clinic provides a 5-year guarantee on all fillings, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your dental restoration is in skilled and reliable hands.
Root canal therapy (Endodontic Therapy)
When is a root canal necessary?
If a cavity becomes too deep, it can reach and affect the tooth’s nerve. The bacteria that accumulate cause infection and lead to toothache. The body's immune system cannot eliminate the infection on its own, which is why a root canal treatment is required.
Other reasons for root canal therapy include excessive pressure on the teeth, severe enamel wear, or trauma to the tooth.
How does root canal treatment work?
During the procedure, the dentist opens an access hole to the root canal and removes the infected nerve tissue. The canal is thoroughly cleaned and then sealed with gutta-percha, a biocompatible material that prevents further infection.
After a successful endodontic treatment, the tooth is sealed with composite resin (white filling), allowing it to function normally again. The quality of the treatment is significantly improved through the use of rotary instruments with built-in apex locators, which ensure precision.
What to expect at our clinic:
At our clinic, the entire procedure is usually completed in a single visit by our specialist endodontist. In most cases, root canal treatment is simple and painless.
However, in some situations—especially when the infection has spread to the root tip (apex)—a periapical lesion (abscess) may develop. In such cases, the treatment may require multiple visits to ensure complete healing.
Periodontitis
Periodontitis is a progressive inflammation that damages the supporting structures of the teeth, including the bone. It is most commonly caused by poor oral hygiene and must be diagnosed early to prevent severe consequences. In many cases, patients do not notice the problem themselves, as the inflammation progresses slowly and painlessly.
Prevention is Key
The best way to prevent periodontitis is through regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene at home. Teeth should be brushed at least twice daily, in the morning and at night, ensuring that the brush reaches the gum line. In addition, dental floss or interdental brushes should be used to clean between the teeth.
Aside from poor hygiene, other risk factors include:
Genetics
Smoking
Stress
Poor nutrition
Treatment Options
If diagnosed early and treated properly, the inflammation can be reversed. In some cases, a minor surgical procedure may be necessary to reduce the depth of periodontal pockets.
However, in advanced stages, the inflammation may have caused irreversible damage. Some teeth may no longer be viable and must be extracted. In such cases, tooth replacement can be achieved with dental implants, bridges, or removable dentures.
Dental cleaning
Annual Dental Check-Up
A regular dental check-up, ideally once a year, is essential for maintaining optimal oral health and preventing more serious conditions. During your visit, the following procedures are typically included:
Dental X-rays
Tartar removal
Plaque removal
Stain removal (e.g. from coffee, tea, smoking)
Final polishing
Oral hygiene guidance and tips
Dental X-rays are crucial in detecting cavities between the teeth or beneath old fillings — areas that can’t be seen with the naked eye. This allows problems to be addressed early, before they become painful or complex.
✳️ Your dentist will determine the ideal frequency of check-ups based on your individual oral health needs, ensuring personalized and effective care.
Tooth extraction
In some cases, it is necessary to perform a tooth extraction. This usually occurs when there is:
A deep fracture of the tooth
Excessive mobility due to periodontal disease
After local anesthesia is administered, the dentist carefully removes the tooth. The wound is checked, and the patient bites down on a sterile gauze to achieve hemostasis.
After the extraction, a blood clot forms to protect the wound. To ensure proper healing, it is recommended:
Avoid rinsing the mouth
Refrain from eating or smoking until the anesthesia wears off
Avoid suction or forceful spitting
It is normal to experience mild pain once the anesthesia wears off, which can be effectively managed with pain relievers.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
The extraction of a wisdom tooth (third molar) requires careful preparation. Before the procedure, a dental X-ray is performed to assess the position of the tooth and determine the most appropriate method for extraction.
Depending on the case, the extraction may be performed as:
Simple (like a regular tooth extraction)
Surgical, when the wisdom tooth is impacted or has a complicated anatomical position
Factors that affect the difficulty of the extraction include:
In the upper jaw: the proximity to the sinus cavity
In the lower jaw: the relationship of the tooth to the inferior alveolar nerve
Our clinic has surgical expertise in the removal of wisdom teeth, ensuring safe and pain-free treatment for all cases.
Bruxism splint (Dental night guards)
If you wake up feeling your facial muscles tired, with a headache and sensitive teeth, you may be clenching or grinding your teeth during sleep. In this case, the bruxism splint (dental night guard) is essential.
Teeth grinding is a common phenomenon that results from our subconscious attempt to solve problems during bedtime, which we fail to resolve when we are awake. As a result, we clench and grind our teeth.
The dentist can detect tooth decay and, after a thorough examination of the facial muscles and joints, determine the severity of the problem.
The most effective solution is the bruxism splint (dental night guard), which can make the symptoms disappear and protect the teeth from further damage.
The manufacture of the bruxism splint is straightforward. After taking precise impressions of the teeth, it is fabricated in the dental laboratory. The splint is worn during sleep, and instructions are provided for muscle rehabilitation.
Snoring splint
If you snore while you sleep, a snoring splint may be the solution you need! Snoring is classified into two types: the regular type and the one associated with sleep apnea.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing is temporarily interrupted during sleep, which can lead to serious heart problems and increase the risk of accidents due to lack of sleep.
If you believe you have sleep apnea or if someone else has mentioned it to you, it is crucial to visit a sleep clinic for diagnosis and to explore treatment options.
How Does the Snoring Splint Work?
The snoring splint is made in the same way as a bruxism splint. This splint moves the lower jaw forward, helping to widen the airways and improve airflow.
By using the splint, sleep disturbances are significantly reduced, and sleep quality improves. It may take some time to get used to wearing it, but the positive results are immediate and long-lasting
PROSTHODONTICS
Digital dentistry scanner
Another step into the dentistry of the future!
In our clinic, we use digital technology to capture the impressions of prepared teeth, aiming to achieve the best possible results for our patients. With the help of the intraoral camera, we quickly, easily, and with high precision capture the true image of your teeth, allowing us to immediately transfer the information to the laboratory.
This means that we avoid the traditional, time-consuming, and less comfortable process of placing impression material inside the mouth.
This technology is combined with the ability to produce immediate temporary restorations using a 3D printer, providing fast and precise solutions for our patients' needs.
Dental crowns
When a tooth has been filled multiple times, it may become weak over time, and a crown is required to restore its strength and functionality. A crown is a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution to reinforce the tooth and restore its natural appearance.
The process for placing a crown starts with the preparation of the tooth by the dentist to create space for the crown. Once the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken to create a precise replica that will be used for manufacturing the crown.
The ideal material for crown construction is zirconia or other ceramic materials, which offer natural appearance and durability. In our clinic, we collaborate with a top dental laboratory and use only certified materials to create crowns that provide a natural feel and perfect fit in your mouth.
In some cases, the use of an endodontic post may be necessary to provide additional strength and support for the crown, ensuring maximum durability and stability.
The process typically requires two visits, and the manufacturing time is 3-4 working days. The durability of the crown depends not only on the quality of the material but also on the patient’s proper oral hygiene. Therefore, maintaining good oral care and having regular dental checkups are crucial for preserving the crown in excellent condition.
Our clinic provides a 5-year warranty on crowns, ensuring their long-lasting functionality and the beautiful aesthetic appearance of your smile.
Bridges
When one or more teeth are lost, a bridge is an excellent solution to restore your natural smile. Adjacent healthy teeth are used as supports for the bridge, bringing back both the functionality and aesthetics of your mouth. In some cases, the solution of dental implants is chosen to avoid the need to trim the adjacent teeth, preserving their integrity.
The bridge is made with high-quality porcelain, combined with metal, to enhance the stability and durability of the restoration. The bridges are fabricated in leading dental laboratories, using certified materials to ensure the best possible results in both function and aesthetics.
The treatment with a bridge offers excellent outcomes, providing a natural appearance inside the mouth and long-lasting durability. However, proper oral hygiene is essential to maintain the bridge and the natural supporting teeth. The use of dental floss and interdental brushes is necessary to keep the bridge clean and healthy. Failure to maintain proper oral care can lead to the buildup of bacteria, which may affect the natural supporting teeth and result in their loss.
Our clinic provides a 5-year warranty on bridges, ensuring their long-term stability and functionali
Dentures
A denture is a reliable solution for replacing lost teeth in the jaw, offering both functionality and aesthetic benefits. The process begins with a detailed impression of the oral mucosa to ensure a perfect fit of the denture.
The success of the denture depends on the collaboration between the patient, the dentist, and the dental technician. The construction is typically completed within 5 to 7 business days. After placement, the chewing function is evaluated, and if necessary, corrective adjustments are made to ensure optimal performance.
Initially, patients may feel discomfort due to the volume of the denture, as it alters the dynamics of the mouth. However, over time, speech and chewing function improve, and the denture is fully integrated by the patient.
Partial Denture
A partial denture is a common treatment option when only a few teeth are missing. The remaining teeth in the patient’s mouth are used to anchor the denture securely in place.
Full Denture
When all teeth are missing, a full denture is precisely fitted to the gums to ensure stability and comfort. Proper care is essential to maintain the cleanliness and long-lasting function of the denture. It is recommended to rinse the denture after each meal and brush it with a soft toothbrush and special toothpaste at least twice a day. Additionally, brushing the oral mucosa is suggested for cleanliness and to improve blood circulation. During the night, the denture can remain in the mouth or be stored in a moist environment.
Our clinic provides a 5-year warranty on all dentures, ensuring long-term durability and reliable results.
COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Tooth whitening
Do you want whiter teeth? We can offer them by using Philips zoom usa tooth whitening either at the clinic or at home.
The colour of the teeth varies for every person. It may be shades of white, yellow or grey. When tooth whitening is proper, white teeth and a beautiful smile can be attained.
Tooth whitening at home is performed by using individual splints from soft plastic. The patient follows detailed instructions how to use tooth whitening material by day or by night. Tooth whitening requires two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the patient’s teeth and oral hygiene are examined, the condition of the teeth is assessed so that the risk of any harm, stains or increased sensitivity can be restricted. The fillings, if any, should be in good condition because there is no change of colour with tooth whitening. Prior to proceeding to tooth whitening, it is advised that the patient should come into the dental office to have a comprehensive oral examination. Dental cleaning should be done in order for the health of the gums to be ensured. The therapy is not indicated for people under the age of 18, pregnant and lactating women.
Long-term results are achieved if proper oral hygiene is followed. It is recommended that coffee, tea, red wine, smoking and anything that can cause tooth discoloring should be avoided after the procedure. Following the completion of the treatment, the teeth are sensitive to hot and cold for a while, which soon wears off.
For in-office treatment, the particular light Philips zoom usa is used. After applying light-cured resin on the gums, the teeth are painted with bleaching agent which is activated by the particular light. The procedure may be repeated up to four times until the desired effect is achieved.
Root-canal tooth whitening
The procedure starts with removal of the old filling. After the area is numbed, a tiny hole is made on the tooth’s back side and bleaching agent is delivered. The whole procedure lasts two weeks and then the tooth is filled with a similarly-colored filling.
Ceramic venners- Porselain venners
A beautiful smile is important for most of us. It affects our self-confidence and our relationship with other people.
Veneers can restore or improve your smile. Our aim is to achieve the smile you have always wanted.
Smile design
We utilize digital technology so as to design the smile you deserve. The intra-oral camera enables us to capture the entire oral cavity and design the smile you deserve taking the photograph of your face into account. In this way you can see the result before the treatment.
Invisalign
The most widely used system of orthodontics treatment is implemented by an expert orthodontist after a meticulous analysis of the patient’s dental barrier.
Personal transparent tooth aligners are manufactured to restore teeth to the ideal position. The transparency of the aligners contributes to the convenience of the users’ everyday routine. The teeth are gradually moved to the desired position by changing the aligners every two weeks. The treatment time period varies for every patient but the final result is really impressive.
IMPLANTS
Implants
Implants are used to replace missing teeth.
An artificial titanium root is screwed in the jaw. Titanium is acceptable from the bone which grows around the implant. Subsequently, the crown or the bridge is placed.
Nowadays implants are the best option for the replacement of the missing teeth. The treatment prognosis is good especially when authentic materials are used.
Our clinic provides a lifetime guarantee for all implant systems
Classical Implantology
The procedure starts with the patient’s clinic and radiographic examination (panoramic - computed tomography KAVO PRO).
The patient’s general health and medication is assessed. The bone of the jaw and its quality are of vital importance for the procedure.
After meticulous planning by the surgeon, the implant is placed with painless topical anesthesia.
The procedure is painless for the patient. Administering antibiotics is essential.
Implants function as natural teeth and require very careful oral hygiene.
Regenerative Implantology
When the patient’s bone of the jaw is incomplete, fitting dental inlays is preferable. The inlay contributes to the augmentation of the bone volume so that the fitting of the implant will be feasible. We utilize the growth factors of our organism so as to enhance the healing of the soft tissues and through blood collection (centrifugal) we produce membranes which accomplish the painless and quick healing of the wound. With the help of modern techniques and osteodensification system we can achieve the increase of bone mass so that the fitting of implants will be feasible in almost all cases.
Digitally Directed Implantology– Same Day Teeth
Nowadays the completion of the replacement of one or more missing teeth on the same day is a reality.
The use of the intra-oral scanner MEDIT i500 in conjunction with the information from the CT scanner (Computed Tomography) enable us to produce a surgical dental splint (NEXTDENT 3D PRINTER) which shows us the exact positions for the implant fitting. The fitting can be done even without surgery (Flapless implant placement), however, in any case the accuracy of the position enables us to make the teeth in advance so that the patient can leave the clinic having the dental prosthetics placed.
