Onlay method - technician prepares special dental onlays, based on an impression, then a whitening gel is applied into them. Depending on its concentration, the patent wears them from one to four hours. Teeth should be carefully cleaned before the procedure and after it, the patent should not eat anything for a couple of hours. The whitening process should be repeated for at least nine evenings. The modern preparations which I recommend eg. NiteWhite contain a formula minimizing pain discomforts during such treatment. The whitening effect is long-lasting and less traumatic than single session brightening. Furthermore, the onlays can be also used for application of other medicines (fluorization, Tooth Mousse, oversensivity reducing formulas) as well as repeated whitening when the effect of brightening becomes to decline. In such case it’s enough to repeat the procedure for three nights in a row.

Endodontic treatment - root canal treatment. When caries is very deep it creates a pulp (nerve) inflammation. Inflammatory processes of low degree may be treated with proper medicines, leaving the tooth vital. However, with more advanced pulp inflammation, the tooth has to be treated endodonticly. If it’s possible the nerve is removed in local anaesthetic procedure. After an extremely precise cleaning and processing the root canal is later filled with gutta-percha, right to the very end of the canal, leaving no free space.

Treating caries - commonly known as tooth filling. After cleansing tooth from caries change it’s necessary to complement lacking tooth tissues. Generally the tooth is being filled during one visit with some composite materials. In my practice I use 3M ESPE Filtek Supreme fillings – the latest nanocomposite. A range of over 20 colours of this filling allows me to perfectly rebuild even the most damaged teeth. In less complicated cases there’s a possibility to use a cheaper material known as Valux.

Veneers, thin ceramic or composite facings that bond directly to the tooth, are modern dentistry's answer to stained, uneven or irregularly shaped teeth. Custom-made in a prosthetic lab, veneers are not only a very aesthetic but also durable option.
