COSMETIC DENTISTRY

TEETH WHITENING

Bleaching is the least invasive cosmetic dental procedure that can brighten natural teeth, by altering their shade into a lighter one. After taking dental impressions, individualised transparent splints are made, which the patient uses at home to apply the whitening gel for 10-14 days. The results are expected to last for 9-12 months, after which the application can be repeated, if necessary.

PORCELAIN VENEERS

Porcelain veneers are aesthetic restorations that are made for the front teeth, when there is a need to cover a discoloration or to alter the shape, size or shade of a tooth. Following minimal preparation of the tooth surface, a thin custom-made layer of porcelain is fabricated by the dental technician and is permanently cemented on the tooth. Veneers provide with an excellent aesthetic result without demanding excessive removal of tooth structure.

COMPOSITE FILLINGS, INLAYS AND ONLAYS

The restoration of a decayed tooth is performed with a resin sealing, a white filling. In some cases, when excess hard tissue is missing or when mechanical strength is compromised,an insert of superimposed resin or porcelain is recommended. This is prepared by the dental technician and is cemented permanently to the tooth. It provides the tooth with increased strength and functionality.
