Treatments

Advanced Implant Surgery and Bone Procedures When there is not enough bone in the area planned for an implant, treatment does not have to be impossible. Depending on the location and amount of bone loss, different augmentation or grafting methods may be assessed. Learn more → Dental Implant A dental implant is a structure, usually made of titanium, that is placed in the jawbone to take the place of the root of a missing tooth and allows a prosthesis to be built on top of it. Learn more → Immediate / Early Loading "Immediat (immediate) loading" means attaching a temporary prosthesis to an implant a very short time after it is placed; "immediat implant" means placing the implant in the same session as the tooth extraction. The two concepts are not the same. Learn more → Implant Treatment in Full Edentulism In some situations where all teeth have been lost, or where it is not possible to preserve the remaining teeth in the long term, implant-supported prostheses may be assessed. Learn more → Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the field concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of surgical diseases of the teeth, jawbones, intraoral soft tissues and related structures. Learn more → Wisdom Teeth and Impacted Teeth Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the very back of the jaw. Not every wisdom tooth needs to be extracted; teeth that have erupted healthily, can be cleaned and do not harm the surrounding tissues may be monitored. Learn more →

Bruxism / Teeth Clenching Bruxism is a general term covering the behaviours of clenching the teeth, grinding the teeth or overusing the jaw muscles. Sleep bruxism and awake (daytime) bruxism have different characteristics from one another. Learn more → Jaw-Joint and Masticatory Muscle Problems (TMD) Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of conditions covering pain or functional problems of the jaw joint, the masticatory muscles and structures related to this system. It is not a single disease; different causes and mechanisms can be present together. Learn more → Tooth Wear Tooth wear is not only due to teeth clenching. Mechanical wear, acid erosion, certain habits and age-related changes can all play a part together. Distinguishing the source of the wear is important for the treatment plan. Learn more →

Composite Bonding Composite bonding is a restorative method in which a tooth-coloured resin material is bonded to the tooth to correct small form irregularities, gaps, fractures or surface unevenness. In most cases it can offer the advantage of minimal intervention to the tooth tissue. Learn more → Porcelain Laminate / Laminate Veneers A porcelain laminate is a thin ceramic restoration bonded to the visible surface of the front teeth. A laminate is not required for every change in appearance; bonding, orthodontics, whitening or doing nothing may also be options. Learn more → Smile Planning Smile planning is not a "treatment" in itself, but a planning process in which the patient's expectations are assessed together with the existing teeth, gums, bite and facial features. The aim is to create a balanced result with the most conservative options possible. Learn more → Teeth Whitening Teeth whitening is a chemical application that aims to lighten the colour of the natural tooth tissue. Scaling or polishing removes surface stains and deposits; it is not the same procedure. Learn more → Zirconia and Porcelain Crowns A dental crown is a restoration that encircles most of the tooth. It may be used in cases of extensive tissue loss, fracture, large fillings, some colour/form problems, or in prostheses on implants. Learn more →

Clear Aligner Treatment In clear aligner treatment the teeth are moved in a controlled way by means of a series of custom aligners. Invisalign is one of the clear aligner systems. The treatment requires a separate orthodontic assessment and planning. Learn more → Orthodontics Orthodontics is the dental specialty that assesses the positional relationships of the teeth and jaws. Monitoring growth and development in children, and aligning the teeth and adjusting the bite in adolescents and adults, are within the scope of this field. Learn more →

Periodontology / Gum Health Periodontal diseases affect the gums and the bone tissue that supports the teeth. In the early period gum bleeding and swelling may be seen; in the more advanced period bone loss, gum recession and mobility of the teeth can develop. Learn more → Root Canal Treatment / Endodontics Inside the tooth there is vascular and nerve tissue called the pulp. When this tissue becomes irreversibly inflamed or infected, root canal treatment aims to clean the infected tissue and fill the root canal system. Learn more →

Paediatric Dentistry It is important that a child's dental visit does not begin only when there is pain. Early check-ups help with the health of the milk teeth, decay risk, oral-hygiene habits, trauma and monitoring tooth eruption. Learn more →

Dental Radiology / CBCT Radiological imaging in dentistry is used to assess tooth and bone structures that cannot be seen directly at a clinical examination. The type of imaging should be chosen according to the clinical question; not carrying out unnecessary imaging is essential. Learn more → Digital Dentistry Digital dentistry refers to the use of digital data in the diagnosis, impression, planning, design and follow-up processes. The technology does not replace the clinical examination; used correctly, it supports record-keeping, communication and planning. Learn more →
