Tooth treatment

It is the most common dental procedure over the globe. Regular visits to the dentist, timely examination and dental treatment can prevent the disease at the initial stage and save nerves, time, and money for dental treatment in the future.

Smile whitening

Teeth whitening allows you to get a snow-white smile quickly, painlessly, and effectively. The most popular in-office whitening method is laser teeth whitening that helps get a perfect smile in 1.5-2 hours. 

Bite correction

Nowadays, it is possible to correct the bite at any age. There are several methods: from metal braces to invisible silicone mouth guards. Correction of the bite lasts from six months to one and a half years, an effective result, and an excellent smile are guaranteed.

Veneers and lumineers

Almost everyone dreams of a beautiful Hollywood smile. Unfortunately, not always an ideal snow-white smile can be obtained only with the help of whitening. In such a situation, to create a dream smile, it is enough to install veneers or lumineers — special ceramic teeth overlays that give a snow-white color, eliminate defects, and spaces between teeth.

Dental implant

There are situations when all teeth are lost, or the remaining ones can no longer be cured. In this case, dentists perform dental implantation, which allows you to restore the chewing function of the teeth and return to a common lifestyle. 

The most widespread methods of dental implantation are:

• dental implant with a crown
• all-on-2
• all-on-4
• all-on-6

Depending on the method, the treatment may last up to six months.

Dental diseases are of two main types according to the signs of ailment detection:

• objective — the signs of dental diseases that are identified by a dentist during the examination. Afflictions may be obvious and the doctor can detect them immediately during the initial examination. There are also hidden abnormalities revealed during a complete diagnosis of the oral cavity
• subjective — a patient speaks about the symptoms and complaints; a dentist examines the dentition and confirms the patient’s complaint immediately or makes the additional diagnosis.

To determine the teeth condition, dentists usually have three main steps:

1. oral interview and visual examination of the patient
2. oral cavity inspection using special instruments and x-rays
3. complete teeth diagnosis and revealing the dental diseases (if any).

If the tooth ailment is detected, the dentist prescribes treatment. Depending on the disease type, the patient may be referred to other dental specialists.
