Conservative and aesthetic dentistry

Conservative dentistry is the primary department aimed at preventing and treating carious lesions. In our clinic, we use anesthetics to ensure painless treatment, which increases patient comfort. Tooth decay is a bacterial disease, for which sugars are the main medium.

In our office, we use comprehensive treatment from the treatment of early caries, such as in the form of "white spot" (which usually does not require the use of a drill) ending with advanced lesions. We use high-quality agents that eliminate post-operative hypersensitivity despite deep preparations.

Our doctors work with magnifying loupes during clinical review and treatment, which makes it much easier to clean cavities, while eliminating the risk of complications. Through the thoroughness of the clinical examination itself and the excellent diagnostic equipment available in each of our offices, we are able to treat caries at its early stages. During check-ups, we take wing-bite RVG images, which perfectly illustrate even lesions in the early stages of development and those located in areas inaccessible to the human eye.

We have a calm atmosphere during treatments and keep the patient informed about the course of treatment.

Prevention is the basis for treatment to be minimally invasive. Therefore, it is very important for us to educate and make patients aware, which allows them to have a much greater impact on their oral health. We introduce the patient to the world of hygiene by instructing them on how proper brushing and flossing is important in preventing tooth decay.

Restorative dentistry - the most important issues

Conservative dentistry is a very extensive offering at our office. Below we present only its most important elements.

Methods of restoring a tooth

When caries also involves the dentin of a tooth, mechanical intervention is necessary. Working with magnifying magnifiers or a microscope and anesthesia, we are able to perfectly clean the decay, thus reducing the likelihood of secondary caries.

The classic method of restoration is the use of light-cured composite. The material is applied in layers, rebuilding the functional and aesthetic role of the tooth. Nowadays, we use the latest generation of composites allowing us to achieve a perfect and tight restoration in even less time.

For larger cavities involving 2/3 of the tooth tissue, it will most likely be necessary to use a restoration with a Prosthetic overlays (inlays, onlays, overlays). In such a situation, the tooth must be properly prepared for prosthetic work. Therefore, at the first visit, the tooth is cleaned of decayed tissues and prepared in the least invasive way possible, and then secured with temporary material. At the next visit (about 3 days after the first), the overlay is set with special cement. Prosthetic overlays can be made of laboratory composite or ceramic.

If the amount of tissue is even less it is likely that the tooth is restored with a prosthetic crown.

Prosthetics

Initial caries

Incipient caries is a lesion that most often localizes in the interdental spaces, that is, where food debris accumulates in the greatest quantities. Often these lesions are not visible to our eye. RVG cameras and the magnification work we use in our office allow early detection of changes and their non-invasive treatment and control.

In the treatment of initial caries, we use the preparation ICON, which is an agent used to infiltrate tooth tissue. By applying this product several times in the right sequence, we eliminate the discomfort of drilling into the tooth tissues. The application of ICON provides caries treatment without pain and without anesthesia.

Surgical tooth lengthening before restoration

Sometimes carious cavities penetrate very deeply involving also root tissues. Then a simple restoration is not possible due to the temporary leak that occurs. In such a situation, the treatment plan requires reductions in bone in the interdental space and Elimination of excess gum. The healing period after such a procedure is up to two months. Only after this time will we be able to ensure the tightness of the composite filling.

Failure to undertake periodontal and surgical treatment often leads to deletions Such a tooth at a later date.

Bonding

This is nothing more than composite veneer performed in the office. Of course, before the procedure, a consultation is necessary to detect carious cavities in the front teeth. During the first visit, we also analyze the patient's dental conditions.

Bonding is the covering of the front surface of the tooth with a highly aesthetic composite, which we use primarily to improve the shape and color of the tooth. Sometimes teeth whitening is recommended before the procedure to remove color disproportions that may appear after bonding. Our whitening system Prevdent guarantees a long-lasting effect of white teeth, and at the same time does not damage in any way the structure of teeth and does not cause sensitivity. Bonding makes it possible to achieve an aesthetically pleasing smile in a short time and at a low cost. The process is usually performed in one visit and is completely painless. Sometimes the tooth requires micro-invasive preparation, during which up to 0.5mm of enamel is eliminated just before the material is applied.

In the end, we can restore the desired shape of the teeth as well as additionally make them whiter. Please note that composite veneers require polishing at least twice a year.
