PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

TEETH ARE A MIRROR OF HEALTH Preventive dentistry comprises all the measures of prevention and early detection of caries, orthodontic anomalies, periodontal diseases and preservation of oral health. Prevention should start at as early as pregnancy period and it is necessary throughout the whole life. Preventive measures include: regular checks, introducing oral hygiene with a demonstration on a model, correct brushing, using dental floss, mouthwash, fluoridation of teeth, fissure sealing, varied and healthy diet, tests of saliva and plaque to detect bacteria and mouth-guards for teeth protection. CARE FOR THE HEALTH OF TEETH IS LIFE LONG.

ENDODONTICS

The branch of dentistry that is now rapidly evolving, deals with the morphology, physiology and pathology of human dental pulp and periapical tissue and preventing and treating diseases and injuries of this tissue. We make tooth equally valuable by healing the inside of its root. It is done by hand and machine instrumentation. Endodontics is a prerequisite for the preservation of the teeth in the dental arch, and for its use as a quality carrier of prosthetic work.

AESTHETIC DENTISTRY

All of human longings are in some way connected to beauty. Aesthetic dentistry is improving the natural beauty of mouth cavity and face. The latest technology, materials that teeth are made of, tissue and bone implants make this possible. The objective is that your teeth fit your face perfectly by shape, colour, size, function and when speaking and that they feel as an integral part of you and not as a foreign body.

CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY

It is an embellished name for ' tooth repair' or tooth filling. Once repaired tooth is repaired tooth forever. Caries, erosion or fracture damaged tooth tissue is restored by composite or other fillings that imitate the insufficient hard dental tissue with colour and shape. Durability of a filling depends on dentist's skills, quality of the material, size of the filling and of course, patient's oral hygiene habits.

ONLAYS, INLAYS, DENTAL VENEERS OR LAMINATES

Onlays and inlays are great solution when a tooth is seriously damaged and composite filling doesn't meet all the conditions. This dental procedure is used when a tooth is not totally ground away and has several advantages over crowns. It is an interim solution between a composite filling and a complete crown. Inlays and onlays are a substitute for a smaller composite filling on occlusal surfaces of a tooth. The advantage of inlays and onlays over composite fillings is better peripheral adhesion to gums which means less risk of secondary caries and great aesthetics. They are made of porcelain which is polished for maximum effect. Veneers are indicated in cases of coloration of front teeth, enamel cracks, diastema (spacing between the teeth) and smaller imperfections in the position of teeth. The advantage of veneers over complete crown is minimal grinding of a tooth and preservation of healthy tooth tissue. After they are made in a laboratory in collaboration with a patient and satisfactory result is achieved, they are then permanently cemented onto a tooth surface.

PERIODONTICS AND ORAL DISEASES

Complete oral health includes healthy gums beside healthy teeth. Poorly maintained teeth inevitably result in inflammation of the gums which can vary from the mild to serious ones that require complex periodontal therapy. Some diseases of periodontum are genetic or autoimmune but with contemporary periodontal techniques they can be successfully controlled and their progression slowed down. Aesthetic surgery of the gums can bring about fantastic results which are essential for the final aesthetic impression of your smile.

PROSTHETICS

Modern prosthetics is enriched by introduction of implants in every day practice. It implies a replacement of lost teeth by artificial ones which are placed on the remaining teeth or implants.With completely toothless jaws, dentures lie entirely on mucous or rest on implants. If the patient has a smaller number of their own teeth which are unfavorably distributed statically, they can be used as carriers of partial dentures. They can be telescopic dentures, wironit prosthesis with different types of attachments, (connections) c k, Rhein etc. Prosthetics includes individual crowns and bridges too. Today there is a great variety of materials they are made of, ranging from metal-ceramic classic material (Au, galvanized) to modern constructions containing no metal. Materials used for making teeth are chosen in accordance with indication, aesthetic requirements and affordability.

IMPLANTS

Implants can substitute an individual tooth or more teeth or even restore a completely toothless jaw. If existing teeth are healthy and there is no need for protecting them by crowns, then it is unnecessary to grind the teeth as carriers for the missing teeth from the modern dentistry point of view. With completely toothless jaw, technique ALL ON 4 is applied which enables a patient to get teeth the very same day when implants are installed. Single-tooth implants can be loaded the same day if satisfactory primary balance is achieved.

TEETH WHITENING

Change of colour and darkening of some or all teeth is quite often the reason of patient's dissatisfaction with appearance. Different techniques are applied depending on a situation. Teeth whitening is preceded by cleaning and polishing of all teeth. It should be pointed out that whitening doesn't affect dental fillings so in order to achieve desirable nuance it is sometimes necessary to change the old ones.
