Question: Hello, I have several questions. Would it be possible to manufacture a dental bridge at your clinic for 4 front teeth? Upper jaw, I have a 10 year old bridge there now which doesn’t work properly anymore. How many visits it would take and what are the terms?
Answer: The dental bridge manufacturing is possible at our clinic. Altogether it is necessary to visit us three times. At first, you consult your problem with the dentist and we make scans of your jaw. The second visit would occur in a span of 10 to 14 days, when the dentist would remove your old bridge and apply a temporary bridge. After another 14 days it is possible to apply the brand new fixed dental bridge.
Question: Hello, I wonder why the dental carries develop. Can you tell me? Thank you for your answer.
Answer: Dental caries development is fueled by improper dental hygiene. It is a breakdown of hard tissue of the tooth due to activities of bacteria on the food debris or sugar left on the tooth surface after eating. Such bacteria produce acids and such acids cause demineralization of the tooth enamel, which is how caries develops. At first, the damage of the tooth is mild, as the caries develops and proceeds in dentin, the problems become more serious. If not treated in time, caries can cause the loss of the tooth and the development of periodontal disease.
Question: Hello, how do you treat dental carries at your clinic?
Answer: Emerging and surface dental caries in tooth enamel can be treated non-invasively by the ICON® method, based on the principle of re-mineralization of the tooth enamel by application of various pastes rich in fluoride, resulting in the strengthening of the integrity of the tooth. If the caries already penetrated the dentin, this method will no longer help. In such cases it is necessary to drill the caries out and fill the chamber with a composite or ceramic dental filling.
Question: Hello, how does the application go and what kind of aftercare is necessary?
Answer: At first, the dentist will perfectly clean the teeth, so there is no grime, dirt or plaque between the tooth and the stone. Then the stone is glued to the teeth carefully with dental glue. Our clinic solely uses white/transparent Swarovski crystals for this treatment. The jewel then doesn’t demand any special care, just the normal dental hygiene we perform every day.
