Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size or length. They provide a natural tooth appearance, Gum tissue tolerates porcelain well, Porcelain veneers are stain resistant, The color of a porcelain veneer can be selected such that it makes dark teeth appear whiter, Veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth's color and shape-veneers generally don't require the extensive shaping prior to the procedure that crowns do, yet offer a stronger, more aesthetic alternative to bonding.

Root canal treatment is the removal of the infected soft tissue within the tooth and its replacement by an artificial inert ‘filling’ material. This procedure basically saves the tooth and eliminates dental pain.

Crowns are applied to treat major damage of tooth structure or aesthetic problems. Partial tooth missing is replaced by a bridge device to restore the functional and cosmetically not pleasing appearence. We work with several types of crowns and bridges: Porcelain crown fused to metal and bridge has a metal frame under the porcelain layer for supporting reason. The metal frame can be made from biocompatible metal, titanium and precious metal. It is a strong and long-lasting solution with the proper aesthetic result. It is also one of the most often used method for fixed dentures. Base-zirconium-oxide crown and bridge is the most modern and up-to-date solution in dental care for making fixed dentures, and the applied basic material originally used in space technology. It is the most perfect fixed denture from the point of view of aesthetic and biocompability. There is no recorded case of allergical reaction to zirconium-oxide in scientific references and literature. Its interaction with other metals used in dentistry can be actually ruled out.

A porcelain bridge is used to replace any tooth that is missing or beyond repair. It is indicudually made to match the shade and contour of your natural teeth, so practically no one can tell the difference.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that our implantologyst places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more of tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling that you may forget you ever lost a tooth. You must know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, there is good news! Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own! Under proper conditions, such as placement by our implantologyst and diligent patient maintenance, implants can last a lifetime. Long-term studies continue to show improving success rates for implants.

Crowns are used to restore broken or heavily filled teeth. Crowns, or "caps," are coverings that fit over your teeth. Their purpose is to restore each tooth to its normal shape and size, while both strengthening and improving its appearance. Being made from porcelain they look every bit as natural leaving no black line at gum level as seen with some older crowns.

Inlays resemble fillings in function - they both serve to fill the space which remains after removing the decayed portion. The difference between them is the fact that inlays are shaped outside the patient's mouth and then cemented into the empty area. A wax pattern of that area is made which serves to cast a mold. An inlay is made from such a mold and it is implemented into the tooth by using dental cement. Advantages of inlays refer to a greater duration than amalgam fillings, despite the short process of preparing the tooth. It is necessary to mention the fact that inlays are only for the cases when the damage is at the surface and it does not affect the entire tooth or the root. Embedding inlays take several steps, like taking impressions, placing a temporary inlay, then replacing it by a permanent one, re-adjusting the inlay for assured quality. Outlays are dental devices used by surgeons to restore, protect and reinforce teeth remedying damaged teeth is a high priority and onlays are handy procedures and one of the most used devices by dentists. Although functionally similar to other traditional restoration treatments like crowns or bridges, there are certain features which make a difference. For example, they do not weaken the structure of the tooth but instead strengthen it and provide support for the cracked or fractured tooth. Another characteristic is that outlays are built directly from the patient’s tooth material; they are made in laboratories and linked to the denture afterwards. Onlays can be created from different materials such as gold or ceramic resin. It is also worth mentioning that dental procedures with onlays typically have a shorter period of recovery.

A mouthguard is a flexible appliance that is worn in athletic and recreational activities to protect teeth from trauma. The dental profession unanimously supports the use of mouthguards in a variety of sports activities. A mouthguard can prevent serious injuries such as broken teeth, jaw fractures, cerebral hemorrhage and neck injuries by helping to avoid situations where the lower jaw gets jammed into the upper jaw. Mouthguards are effective in moving soft tissue in the oral cavity away from the teeth, preventing laceration and bruising of the lips and cheeks, especially for those who wear orthodontic appliances. They may also reduce the severity and incidence of concussions.

Vital pulpotomy amputates the infected coronal pulp. It neutralizes the residual infectious process. It preserves the vitality of the radicular pulp. First, the crown is lowered. Next, the dentist uses a high - speed drill to remove the diseased pulp tissue. The bleeding is controlled at all times, with sterile paper points in the canal that allow clots to form. An antibacterial (calcium hydroxide) is placed into the canal. This irritates the pulp and causes it to lay down a protective layer of tooth structure which will decrease the chance of bacterial contamination in the future. Over the calcium hydroxide the dentist places an intermediate layer that insulates the pulp and acts as a base for the permanent restoration. The tooth is then covered with a stainless steel crown. The reason behind this is that teeth that have been treated by vital pulpotomy are likely to fracture.

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth typically made out of an acrylic resin which at times incorporate porcelain or metal for additional structural support. There are two main types of dentures. Both Full Dentures and Partial Dentures are finely crafted, custom-fitted. If you properly maintain your dentures they will appear natural and provide a perfect smile. Advantages: Dentures definitely provide a great smile with a very natural appearance. They're made of very durable materials and last very long when properly taken care of. They also correct several problems, from speech to chewing, for many patients. Typically dentures last from 5-10 years. Disadvantages: There's no doubt that dentures take a little getting used to. Mouth irritation or sores may occur, but are usually caused by poor dental hygiene, and not removing your dentures when needed. It is common that your mouth change over the life of your dentures, so even though they last long, they may need to be replaced to achieve a better fit before they are worn out. With a denture a person typically chews at only 15-23% efficiency compared to a person chewing with their natural teeth. In the case of a full upper denture, the upper palate is covered which can reduce taste of foods you're chewing.

Our teeth have their own circulation and nerves. The veins and nerves running inside the teeth can be damaged by various factors (such as deep decay or trauma). The root canal treatment process: after clarifying the problem we make an X-ray record of the tooth in question, following anesthesia, the inside of the tooth is revealed, the next step is determining the length of the root canal with the help of either an x-ray or an electronic measuring device, afterwards, the root canals are opened and cleaned, the filling of the root canals is done partially and completed at a later session after temporarily closing the tooth, the last step is checking the filling with the help of an X-ray.

Implant is a small, sturdy, titanium post that acts as the root structure would for a natural tooth – replacement of tooth roots. Dental implant can be placed into your upper or lower jawbone. These implant fuses with your jawbone and forms a secure foundation for the new tooth replacement. Once in place, the implant can be used to attach different types of dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges or over-dentures just like roots hold natural teeth in place. Implants are very durable and can last a lifetime. They require the same maintenance as natural teeth; this includes brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups.
