A natural beautiful smile

A brilliant smile and healthy, white teeth will make you feel more confident. Unfortunately not everybody has that perfect smile. Aberrations in the position of teeth, missing or marred teeth and discoloration will not only affect the outward appearance but often will end in tooth disfunction. We take care of your oral health and help you get the perfect smile that makes you feel better and more confident. Continue reading to get to know more about your options:

All-ceramic restoration

Nowadays everything can be realized by using all-ceramic – inlays, partial crowns or crowns. Perfect replacement teeth cannot be distinguished from natural teeth in terms of aesthetics, provide optimum functionality with high-quality material and, thanks to precise manufacturing, fit perfectly into any row of teeth. For over two decades we have had experience in treating our patients with all-ceramic restoration and therefore know exactly what can and can not be realized.

Veneers, a wafer-thin material

Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color and shape. Porcelain dental veneers can help to treat

teeth stains
crooked or uneven Teeth
teeth that are short, wide, or fat
teeth that are chipped, worn or grinding
old, discolored bonding that needs to be replaced

One key benefit of using veneers instead of crowns is that veneers don’t require a lot of trimming. That means that more of your healthy natural tooth can be preserved. If shape and color are chosen well, veneers are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Composite

Composite fillings are usually used for smaller imperfections on the front teeth where a natural appearance is important but can also be used on the back teeth. Furthermore composite fillings preserve a maximum amount of tooth. The flexibility of composite means less drilling is required. When placing the composite it is crucial to keep the area dry – preferably with a dental dam – and to treat the material adhesively. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of your natural teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or more visible areas of the mouth. However, it takes longer to place a composite than an amalgam filling.

Bleaching

Nowadays bleaching is practicable and affordable!

in-office bleaching

This type of bleaching only takes 60 minutes. The dentist applies the opalescence gel externally to the teeth and leaves it for some time. With a special lamp or laser light the dentist can then intensify the effect. This procedure takes 15 minutes and is repeated 3-4 times. It is perfect for last minute whitening needs.

Several scientific and clinical studies have shown that this teeth whitening technique supervised by a dentist is extremely gentle and risk free.

home bleaching

For this purpose, the dentist manufactures a dental splint at the practice. The bleaching process is carried out independently by the patient according to the dentist’s instructions. The tooth splint is filled with the bleaching agent and is worn for several hours by the patient. Only after short application a visible brightening can be noticed.

It is true that the effect of the gel fades after a couple of years but the treatment can be repeated with the already prepared gel.

Walking bleaching

This technique is an internal brightening therapy which is used for tooth discoloration in teeth with root fillings. The procedure requires placement of the bleach into the tooth crown by the dentist. A few days are required until the desired brightening is achieved. After that the crown must be closed with a composite filling.
