  4. Endodontics (root canal therapy),
  5. Prosthetics (metal-ceramic crowns and bridges, combined constructions using attachments, veneers, total ceramic crowns, partial and total plastic dentures, Val-Plast dentures),
  6. Oral surgery,
  7. Children dental care,
  8. Teeth bleaching - The most effective and safest method of tooth bleaching is dentist-supervised.
    • Home bleaching - impact of brightening chemical reagents on teeth enamel in order to reach higher esthetics are used together with individual counters that are put on for a night.
    • In-Office Power bleaching - The dentist isolates and protects your lips, gums, and inside lining of your mouth. Next, a powerful bleaching agent is applied to the teeth. Finally, a powerful light source is applied which completes the procedure by activating the bleaching agent.
    • Laser bleaching - The procedure is much the same. Gums and lips are protected and a bleaching agent is applied. The only difference is that an argon laser is used to activate the bleaching agent instead of the usual light source. This is generally one office visit procedure and the effects will be noticeable immediately. Laser bleaching and In-Office Power bleaching are the absolute quickest and most effective ways to whiten teeth but require a session at the dentist's office.

What is a dental crown? A dental crown is a tooth-shaped 'cap' that is placed over a tooth – covering the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

Why is a dental crown needed? A dental crown may be needed in any of the following situations:

  • To protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth,
  • To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down,
  • To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left,
  • To hold a dental bridge in place,
  • To cover misshaped or severely discolored teeth,
  • To cover a dental implant

What types of crown materials are available? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Permanent crowns can be either all metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal (Metal-ceramic) or all-ceramic.

  • Metals used in crowns include gold alloy, other alloys (for example, palladium) or a base-metal alloy (for example, nickel or chromium). Compared with other crown types, less tooth structure needs to be removed with metal crowns. Metal crowns withstand biting and chewing forces well and probably last the longest in terms of weardown. The metallic color is the main drawback. Metal crowns are a good choice for out-of-sight molars.
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal or Metal-ceramic dental crowns can be color-matched to your adjacent teeth. Next to all-ceramic crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns look most like normal teeth. These crowns can be a good choice for front or back teeth.
  • All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns provide the best natural color match of all crown types and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth where aesthetic is very important.
  • Temporary versus permanent. Temporary crowns can be made in your dentist’s office, whereas permanent crowns are made in a dental laboratory. Temporary crowns are made of acrylic and can be used as a temporary restoration until a permanent crown is constructed by the dental laboratory. Gold or Ceramic inlays, onlays and 3/4 crowns?

These are variations on the technique of dental crowns. The difference between these crowns and the crowns discussed earlier is the coverage of the underlying tooth. The "traditional" crown covers the entire tooth; onlays and ¾ crowns cover the underlying tooth to a lesser extent.

  • Removable partial dentures - used in case of a partial or complete loss of teeth. Consist of plastic or metallic base with artificial teeth and mechanic fixers
  • Complete dentures - a complete denture is a denture that replaces all the missing teeth in one jaw. After a denture is placed, there is a period of adjustment when you may have sore spots that the Dentist will adjust. Your taste may be altered.
  • Immediate dentures - an immediate denture is a denture that is inserted immediately upon extraction of your remaining teeth. The fit, appearance and comfort of such dentures are very difficult to predict. There is no way that teeth can be fitted in advance to show you what the denture will look like, what the bite will be like, or how they will fit. Every effort will be made to duplicate or improve upon the position of your natural teeth, but if the immediate denture is not quite what you had expected you may have a second denture made after the tissues healed completely. Immediate dentures often require tissue conditioning or temporary liners during the healing process as the natural process of gum and bone shrinking takes place.
