COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF DENTAL SERVICES

Cosmetic dentistry

White, straight teeth are not enough to make a smile look beautiful and natural. Achieving a beautiful smile in dentistry is quite a challenge for a dentist. It is not enough to whiten teeth and put veneers on them. You also need healthy and pink gums and a great deal of knowledge and aesthetic sense in a dentist!
This is because aesthetic dentistry requires knowledge of orthodontics, endodontics, conservative treatment with aesthetic composite materials, surgery with implantology in the aesthetic zone, periodontics and finally prosthodontics and smile design skills.

ARTDENT Beauty & Care Dentistry provides you with a comprehensive service that includes all treatments to achieve the perfect smile:

BIO dentistry

At ARTDENT Beauty & Care Dentistry, we have introduced a new line of zero-cytotoxicity composites for you.

BIO composite fillings, so called “BPA Free”, are white light-curable fillings that do not contain Bis-GMA monomer, which can release Bisphenol-A (BPA-an organic component that exhibits estrogenic properties in the human body, causing health problems).

BIO material:

BPA (Bisphenol-A) affects fertility, metabolic diseases and interferes with normal childhood development, among other things.
Elevated BPA concentrations have been linked to an increased risk of type II diabetes, obesity, high BMI and waist circumference, suggesting that the compound promotes abdominal fat deposition.

Adult restorative dentistry

Conservative dentistry is a branch of dentistry that deals with the prevention and treatment of the effects of the most common infectious disease of teeth, which is dental caries.

Untreated caries can lead to tooth decay, which in turn not only compromises the aesthetics of the smile, but has a significant and often unnoticed impact on the health of the entire body , being a hidden focus of infection. No matter at what stage the disease has developed, we provide each patient who comes to ARTDENT Beauty & Care Dentistry with a method of restoration of the lost hard tissues of the tooth that is suitable for him, tailored to the degree of destruction.

Using a dental microscope for work, our doctors also perform corrections of composite fillings made without working under magnification. Leaky fillings, decay at the bottom of the cavity under the fillings is our daily work. Only proper cleaning of the cavity bottom from decay guarantees effective prevention of root canal treatment and survival of the tooth without unnecessary complications for years to come in the mouth.

In our work we use materials recommended by world authorities in the field of aesthetics. They have a high ability to imitate nature. They allow you to match the color in a way that is unnoticeable to the patient, they imitate the nature of your own tooth to an illusion.

Conservative dentistry for children

What a shell soaks when young, the…..will be more willing to take care of teeth when older.
If your child’s first milk teeth have already appeared, join us for the right toothbrushes and safe oral hygiene products that do not contain SLS, parabens and fluoride.

When your child is at least 2,5 years old, sign him/her up for an adaptation visit. It is high time your child knew what a probe, a blower, a suction device, a drooling device and a polymerization lamp are used for. For the youngest children we perform sealing of milk teeth, varnishing or lapis (impregnation of caries with silver nitrate). Through fun and animated videos for the youngest, we will encourage your child to make regular dental visits….

For children aged 3 to 5 years, we offer extensive caries prevention, early treatment of malocclusion, treatment of deciduous teeth with colored fillings and bisphenol A-free BIO fillings.

Children aged 5-14, we will prepare for the stage of replacing milk teeth with permanent teeth by introducing them to the world of orthodontics in stages.
For those who are afraid of the dentist, we have provided “laughing gas”. Treatments under the so-called inhalation sedation level out the negative emotions associated with a visit to the dentist.

In addition to dental treatment, the clinic also offers a professional program for learning to brush teeth ” BERRY SLEEP”. Detailed information is available at registration.

Root canal treatment under the microscope

We pay special attention to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the tooth pulp, as well as diseases of periapical tissues (abscess, cyst). Most often, pulp infection comes from decayed dentin, i.e. the tooth tissue directly under the enamel, while periapical tissue disease comes from untreated previous pulpitis or improper root canal treatment in the past.

Well-treated root canal tooth=implant?
With implantology developing so rapidly, more and more patients are consciously opting out of root canal treatment in favor of an implant. Is a dental implant an alternative solution or should it be the last resort? We have no such dilemmas! We follow the principle “We don’t remove, we cure”- there will always be time for an implant.

The most common cause of root canal treatment is inflammation of the pulp caused by carious altered dentin left at the bottom of the cavity under the composite filling. Why is it that teeth that we have treated suddenly start to hurt and die as a result of irreversible inflammatory processes taking place in the tooth pulp? There are several answers.

The first cause is our negligence, when, due to ignorance, poor diet and improper hygiene and lack of preventive measures, we have allowed this disease to develop in our teeth and permanently destroy the tooth tissues going deep in the area of the so-called tooth pulp. Despite attempts at treatment and sincere efforts by the dentist, the inflammatory process continues to develop and root canal treatment occurs as a complication after conservative treatment. The person responsible for this state of affairs is the patient himself.

The second cause, equally common , is the “iatrogenic factor”- the fault of the doctor. Careless preparation of a cavity during treatment and leaving caries at the bottom, covering it with a composite filling not only does not cure the tooth, but slowly leads to its “death.” This is because insidious caries develops under the filling over years penetrating into the tooth. This leads to infection of the pulp with carious bacteria and the need for root canal treatment.

How to prevent it? By placing great emphasis on caries prevention, early detection of carious foci and their treatment under the microscope, replacement of improperly performed fillings and cleaning the tooth from caries under fillings previously performed without a microscope, proper selection of durable composite fillings or using Inley, Onley, Overley porcelain restorations, we can cure teeth from caries for years to come.

The third cause of root canal treatment, known as reendo, is inflammation of the periapical tissues caused by improper root canal treatment performed without a cofferdam, without a microscope and by inexperienced dentists.

If root canal treatment already occurs, what should be done?
Thanks to the achievements of modern endodontics, patients of ARTDENT Beauty & Care Dentistry get the chance to treat and save a painful tooth, with the removal of pain already on the day of treatment. Endodontic treatment involves the mechanical removal of infected or dead pulp from the tooth chamber and root canals, followed by disinfection and careful preparation of the canals, which in the final stage are filled with a special, biologically inert preparation that provides a tight barrier and effective protection against the re-penetration of bacteria.

Stages of prosthetic treatment and restoration

Primary endodontic treatment of a tooth involves the removal of inflamed, necrotic, devitalized or gangrenous pulp from the interior of the tooth, i.e. the tooth chamber and root canals, disinfection of the aforementioned canals, and filling the space with healing material.

Secondary endodontic treatment, the so-called “reendo”, i.e. repeated root canal treatment should be carried out when there are complaints of pain from a tooth already treated with root canal, when improper filling of root canals is visible on X-ray, when there is reinfection (contamination) of the material in the canal, when there is an inflammatory lesion (periapical cyst, inflammatory granuloma) visible on X-ray in the bone, which has not healed after root canal treatment.
Re-treatment is always more difficult, and not in every case can be done with only conservative, minimally invasive treatment. It also carries a higher risk of complications or failures. In certain situations, the treated tooth may require endodontic surgery or removal.

Stages of root canal treatment:

Stage 1- involves the thorough removal of decay and leaking fillings. At this stage, the tooth is rebuilt under the cofferdam ( bib) with composite material, reconstructing the missing tooth structures. This ensures cleanliness and dryness of the treatment area, tightness of the dressing between visits.

Stage 2- involves the mechanical removal of pulp or existing infected filling material in the canals, cleaning the canals with hand and machine tools of debris, bacteria and their toxins.

Stage 3 consists in chemical preparation of the canals, the so-called disinfection of the entire canal system and its connections. For this purpose, a sequence of disinfectants and rinsing agents stimulated by ultrasound is used, which introduce the fluid in the phenomenon of cavitation, tearing the walls of bacteria and destroying their spore forms. Disinfectants additionally dissolve pulp residues, remove the smear layer lining the interior of the canals and deactivate bacterial toxins. They are used in appropriate concentrations, since only high concentrations guarantee effective disinfection.

Stage 4 involves drying the canals and filling them tightly with a replacement material, i.e. gutta-percha with a sealant, which is in the form of a paste that glues the gutta-percha to the canal wall. Only tightly filled canals are filled properly. To achieve this effect, the gutta-percha is stuffed inside the canals and heated with a hot instrument to plasticize and vertically condense it, the tooth is closed tightly with composite or glass-ionomer material. A follow-up X-ray or CT scan of the tooth completes the root canal treatment.

Stage 5- an airtight reconstruction of the lost tooth tissue is performed due to the high risk of fracture of the tooth crown or reinfection of the canals. If the tooth crown is slightly damaged, conservative restoration with a composite filling is sufficient. If the tooth is severely damaged, prosthetic restoration is necessary, most often with a crown inlay( Inley), onlay (onley) or crown-root inlay( fiberglass, chromium-cobalt cast inlay, gold cast inlay) and a prosthetic crown. Only a tight and durable restoration prevents secondary infection and mechanical damage to the treated tooth.
The final restoration should be made no later than 30 days after the end of root canal treatment.

Stage 6-a follow-up photo after 6-8 months or a CT scan of the tooth. Due to the individually variable anatomical structure of teeth and tissues surrounding the tooth, successful endodontic treatment is not always possible. The effectiveness of treatment is determined during the procedures undertaken.

Dental surgery

At ARTDENT Beauty & Care Dentistry, we provide highly specialized assistance in dental, maxillofacial and orthognathic surgery.

Dental surgery includes, but is not limited to:

Implant treatment - dental implants

Each of us dreams of a beautiful smile. Sometimes, however, all its charm can be spoiled by missing teeth. With help comes dental implantology, which will not only improve our mental comfort, but most importantly, will make it possible to smile every day without restraint.

Implantology makes it possible to restore a lost tooth or group of teeth while keeping the neighboring teeth intact. The implant replaces the root of the lost tooth and creates support for an artificial tooth crown.

The implant must be inserted in the most optimal prosthetic position, i.e. the position in which the future artificial tooth, the so-called prosthetic crown, will best replace the lost natural tooth. If there is any bone or gingival defect in this optimal position, which has been established, then the bone and gingival defects must be regenerated by means of surgical procedures (augmentation, i.e. reconstruction of lost bone or gingiva).

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Orthodontic treatment

Crowded, unevenly aligned, leaning teeth are no longer a problem plaguing young and adult people alike at this time.

Modern orthodontics deals with the diagnosis, prevention and early detection of all orthodontic defects. It restores patients to a normal facial appearance and profile, biting pleasure, healthy and natural smile.

Orthodontic treatment should begin in early childhood. Children from 3 to 6 years old are treated with myofunctional braces correcting abnormal habits, improving muscle tone , eliminating the infantile type of swallowing( forcing the tongue between the front teeth when swallowing saliva), correcting the line of symmetry, deep bite, backbite, crossbite in early childhood.

We guide children and adolescents from 6 to 16 years of age orthodontically by controlling the correct eruption of permanent teeth. We do not wait until all teeth grow crooked. We treat with braces segmentally – dividing the placement of the whole brace into individual stages. This makes it easier for children to adapt to braces and reduces the treatment time by the discomfort associated with the treatment.

Invisalign Digital Orthodontics

Periodontal treatment

Even beautiful and healthy teeth can be lost to periodontal disease.

The periodontium consists of tissues, responsible for the proper placement and immobilization of the tooth in the alveolus, as well as its protection. The periodontium includes the gingiva, periodontium, periosteum, alveolar bone, and root cementum. The most common conditions that the field of periodontology deals with are periodontitis, periodontitis and gingivitis. We diagnose the causes of the conditions, recommend appropriate hygiene guidelines, and if the condition requires more complex treatment – we implement periodontal surgery. Every periodontal patient should first have a periodontal diagram (periodontal probe examination of the depth of the gingival pockets in 6 places on each tooth) and a bleeding index properly performed. Based on the diagram, we know exactly where the biggest inflammatory problem is in the periodontium. Using a state-of-the-art CT scan and a thorough pantomographic X-ray, we evaluate the bone atrophy caused by the disease.

All patients must begin treatment with a very thorough removal of tartar above and below the gums, so-called scaling, and smoothing of the tooth surface. We perform these procedures, of course, under a microscope, because only such magnification guarantees us the exact removal of tartar from the root surfaces under the gums.

After a period of 2 months, the gingival pockets are examined again – the newly made diagram shows us the tendency of the gingival pockets to become shallow. The result is recorded in the patient’s chart.
If some inflammations do not respond to basic treatment- they are qualified for more advanced treatments, i.e. debridgement, guided bone regeneration,

But periodontics is not only the treatment of periodontitis. These are also procedures on the gums.
Covering gingival recessions, gingival augmentations, gingival line corrections( gingivectomies, gingivoplasties, gingivoosteoplatics), surgical lengthening of clinical crowns, reconstruction of the gingival papilla with collagen, thickening of the keratinized gingival zone around implants – all these procedures are aimed at improving aesthetics in the gingival area.

Oral hygiene under the microscope

Professional dental hygiene performed at ARTDENT Beauty & Care Dentistry can cure patients of gingivitis and periodontitis and avoid future problems with tooth decay, plaque and tartar, and bad breath, ensuring a healthy and beautiful smile and comfort for our patients.

Oral hygienization – scaling (scaling), tartar removal, plaque removal, enamel remineralization

Painless hygiene procedures performed in our offices play a very important preventive role, preventing the development of dental and periodontal diseases.

Professional oral hygiene at Artdent Beauty & Care Dentistry includes:

Prosthetic treatment

Prosthetic crown, prosthetic bridge, veneer, porcelain overlay, denture , restoration on implants is designed to restore the function, aesthetics and shape of a natural tooth that has been significantly damaged or extracted.

Prosthodontics is more than improving the appearance and comfort in chewing. It is an effect on the entire system of our masticatory organ, on the temporomandibular joints, on muscle function, on bite conditions. It is often the prevention of the effects of teeth clenching, bruxism, pathological tooth wear, cracking and fracture of teeth.

Using modern dental materials, we are able to design and manufacture prosthetic restorations that mimic the patient’s natural own teeth from before they were lost. In addition, the performance of prosthetics under the microscope guarantees its tightness for many years.

At ARTDENT Beauty & Care Dentsitry, we offer:

Treatment of parafunctions

Parapunctures are fixed stereotypical, unconscious and abnormal actions of the masticatory organ.

Parafunctions are divided into non-contact, i.e., activities that take place without contact between the teeth and opposing teeth, such as biting the mucous membrane of the cheeks, lips, biting nails, biting a pencil, chewing gum, or occlusion, i.e., activities that take place with contact between the teeth and opposing teeth, such as tapping, clenching and grinding teeth.

If you are a patient who gnashes or clenches teeth on the chewing surfaces of your lateral teeth, you will see so-called “eruption discs”-flat areas of worn enamel where the tooth rubs against the tooth, and you will notice jagged, worn incisal edges on upper and lower front teeth. Upper teeth may have a visible “gray line” on the lower edge. This is the result of a worn tooth on the palate side.

Patients with the aforementioned symptoms should see a dentist for prosthetic treatment to prevent further tooth wear.
If, on the other hand, you have already disregarded these early symptoms and have already cracked an upper tooth (usually the 4th or 5th upper tooth), have flat or even concave fillings from the lateral teeth, worn down teeth to ½ of their original length-you are a patient in need of short-circuit lifting and prosthetic rehabilitation.

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is a procedure designed to lighten the color of enamel and thus improve the aesthetic effect.

Teeth whitening is a method that is safe for healthy teeth. The procedure involves applying a bleaching agent to the enamel surface.
For the procedure to be effective, the teeth subjected to whitening must be clean and healthy. Usually the whitening procedure is preceded by the removal of tartar and any deposits.
During the procedure, the whitening agent is applied to clean teeth. The condition of the oral mucosa must not show inflammatory features.
If the teeth need to be cleaned of tartar and deposits, the procedure should be performed at least 24 hours before the scheduled whitening. With very large deposits of tartar, when the gums are highly inflamed, the period needed for their healing may be correspondingly longer( 7-14 days).

We recommend the following teeth whitening treatments:

We use materials recommended by international dental societies and world authorities in the field of aesthetics.

Treatment of hypersensitivity

In about 20 percent of people, the gums begin to recede at some point in life and expose the necks of the teeth (the contact between the crown of the tooth and the root).

Teeth become “longer” and react with pain to touch, sweet and sour taste, and heat and cold. The result is tooth pain when brushing, eating, drinking and sometimes even breathing. These symptoms are mainly the result of improper tooth cleaning: the use of a hard toothbrush, abrasive toothpastes or pressing the brush too hard on the tooth surface during brushing, which leads to abrasion (abrasion) of the thin layer of cement located on the surface of the tooth necks. As a result, sensitive dentin and the pain-conducting tubules running through it are exposed. In addition, exposed tooth necks are particularly susceptible to decay. This is because bacterial acids demineralize not only the enamel of the tooth crown, but also the dentin. However, tooth neck decay can be prevented.

We recommend the following treatments for cervical hypersensitivity:

Physiotherapy of the masticatory organ

If you are a person who finds it difficult to open your mouth, your muscles hurt during dental procedures, you have headaches and shoulder girdle tension, you hear crackling, skipping or feel pain in the Temporomandibular Joint area you definitely qualify for physiotherapy of the masticatory organ. With proper physiotherapy patient preparation, you can get rid of the discomfort of pain when you open your mouth for a long time at the dentist.

The following physiotherapy treatments are performed at ARTDENT Beauty & Care Dentistry:

Radiological diagnostics

Artdent Clinic is equipped with a CS 9300 C tomograph, which is the most modern and comprehensive radiological imaging system available on the market today. It is characterized by ultra-low radiation dose. It is the only CBCT tomograph in the world with imaging dose from 3 μSv

Regardless of its advanced CT capabilities, it allows digital pantomographic images to be taken using technology that adapts the imaging layer to the patient’s anatomy. The device is enhanced with a cephalometric module with unique ONE SHOT technology. At the Clinic of Aesthetic and Microscopic Dentistry, we cannot do without modern diagnostic imaging. X-rays of teeth and CT scans of teeth – has become an essential part of almost every dental treatment. Without diagnostic imaging, good dentistry does not exist.

Our patients can benefit from the following radiological examinations:
