Dentistry and oral surgery are complex procedures involving true teamwork.
Our work colleagues bring to this dental clinic and oral surgery a full range of dental provision with appropriate training and practise
at their disposal.
Our dentists, oral surgeons and our consultants working within these fields
can provide full provision of appropriate expert care.
Nowadays, dentistry is no longer a uniform specialty, because many still
newer and different kinds of treatment methods require that we each
undergo individual training.
A stress-free environment
Our colleagues care about the fact that our working environment should be
one free of fear, whether or not this means adult patient or children or
meaning those requiring oral surgery, or desiring implant work.
Fear-free dental care is in the interests of both the patient and the
dentist treating him or her, as a high standard of patient care can only
be carried out with a relaxed patient.
High-tech equipment
Our KaVo dental treatment units,
Owandy have digital diagnostic x-ray system, cutting-edge equipment,
tools and materials at their disposal.
The dental and oral surgery materials made
use of here
have been specially picked out from vanguard-development factories.
Regular check-ups
We recommend regular check-ups for all our patients.
Regular dental
check-ups ensure that dental care can continually be maintained.
It is not enough to just occasionally get our teeth looked at, but rather
to undergo constant care and repair in order to keep our teeth in good
condition. Professional mouth hygiene treatment alongside care of the teeth at home is very important.
Guarantees for treatment carried out.
All treatment undertaken at our Clinic is guaranteed.
The condition of the guarantee is that after completion of any treatment,
minimally some mouth hygiene care is taken advantage of here every year and in addition to this, keeps
appointments for prescribed dental check-ups, and follows the dental
hygiene programmes recommended by the dentist treating them.
Appropriate home dental care is of not insignificant importance.
Our colleagues take part in regular refresher training courses.
In the course of university training, updating of acquired knowledge is
required through continual refresher training courses. Information about
newer and newer procedures, materials used and techniques are desired, so
that our colleagues are constantly updating and deepening their
professional knowledge. In these interests, every single piece of
knowledge within this field is shared between us, so that in each given
area, we might acquire skills to an even higher standard.

Composite (direct veneer, recontouring) and porcelain (indirect veneer, ceramic veneer)Dental veneers are custom-designed shells of tooth-like ceramic material that, when applied over the surface of a tooth, can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing and chips or cracks. |

Worn enamel: Over time, the thin, hard white substance covering your teeth (enamel) may become worn, dulled, and discolored. Such wear and discoloration may be natural or the result of a genetic predisposition; however, it is often a result of your habits (soft drink, tea, or coffee consumption, smoking, medication use, etc.).
Wear and tear: Teeth naturally wear down as people age. Aged teeth are more likely to have chips, cracks or a generally uneven appearance.
Genetics: Certain people may be born with abnormal spacing between the teeth that grows wider as they age.
Uneven teeth: Uneven teeth can result from tooth grinding or general wear and tear.
Porcelain veneers and composite resin veneers
The two most common materials used in the manufacture of dental veneers are composite resin and porcelain veneers. Both porcelain veneers and composite veneers can be fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory; composite veneers can also be directly fabricated inside your mouth at the dental office.
Dental veneers that are indirectly fabricated - fabricated in a dental laboratory - are bonded to the teeth with various types of resin cement. Of the two options, porcelain veneers are longer lasting and more expensive.
When are veneers appropriate?
Bonding often serves as an inexpensive and effective restoration for small chips and cracks in the teeth. Such minor problems may be functionally and cosmetically repaired with a composite "white filling." A composite resin material is bonded to the tooth in order to fill in the chip or crack and better protect the surrounding tooth structure. But for more severe cases of dullness, wear, discoloration, mild chipping, cracking, spacing, or uneven teeth, dental veneers may be recommended as a more appropriate solution.
Veneers or whitening?
Teeth whitening may provide a white smile for mildly discolored teeth. Some people who are interested in veneers will find that their cosmetic dentist will steer them to the simpler alternative of whitening, perhaps combined with some simple orthodontic alignment. The placement of dental veneers requires the "shaping" or "prepping" of all teeth being fitted with the custom-designed shells. This process permanently alters the teeth that are treated and is therefore not recommended if your natural teeth are functionally and esthetically adequate.
If you have a severe case of dull or discolored teeth, you may have to opt for dental veneers. Veneers do have the added benefits of longevity and a proven ability to enhance the appearance of the mouth, smile, and possibly other areas of an aged face that would be better supported by properly shaped teeth. Although veneers require a much larger commitment than teeth whitening, the results are typically well worth it.
A restorative benefit to veneers
In addition to being esthetically pleasing, dental veneers can also serve a functional purpose by protecting the surface of a damaged tooth. In some cases, veneers may replace the need for a dental crown, eliminating the need for more invasive tooth preparation.
Because dental veneers are so thin, they might require little-to-no tooth reshaping when bonded onto the tooth. Once veneers are bonded into place, they are relatively strong and durable; however, care must be taken so as not to abuse veneers because the thin porcelain shells can damage or break. Your dentist may advise you against certain uses or dietary tendencies (such as eating carrots) and may recommend you wear a protective appliance while your sleep, especially if you are a bruxer.
Composite veneersThe major advantage of composite veneers is treatment time. If composite is used, the dental veneers can be done in one appointment. The dentist will actually make the veneers directly on the prepared teeth. The veneers are then smoothed and polished to look like your natural teeth. Since it takes only one appointment, you can leave your dentist's office with a brand new smile. One of the disadvantages of composite veneers is that they are not as strong as porcelain veneers and therefore are more prone to fracture. However, if a fracture does occur, they can be easily repaired because the same material that was used initially to make the veneers can be added in the same manner to fix it. Another disadvantage is that the color, although stable, is not as stable as the same porcelain veneer restoration. This means that over time the veneers may get darker or turn yellow. Eventually, this change in color can warrant the replacement of the composite veneers.

Porcelain veneersPorcelain veneers require a longer treatment time. At the first appointment, your teeth are prepared and an impression is made of them. Temporary dental veneers are made out of plastic and placed on your teeth. They are used to protect your teeth while the real porcelain veneers are being fabricated. You can also use them to evaluate the look and feel of your teeth so that any changes you desire can be incorporated into your real veneers. |
