Aesthetic dentistry and whitening

Frequently asked questions

• What to know before teeth whitening? +

  Before starting teeth whitening, it is necessary to visit a dentist and perform a complete oral cavity examination to determine whether the health of the teeth is suitable for the teeth whitening procedure. Teeth whitening is performed on healthy teeth, after a hygiene procedure to get rid of tartar and plaque. Patients need to keep in mind that restored teeth and their surfaces - fillings, veneers, crowns, bridges - do not undergo teeth whitening. It should also be taken into account that teeth whitening does not provide a snow-white smile, but it is possible to achieve this with veneers and crowns, which are also offered in our dental clinic We Care.

• When to use the veneers? +

  Veneers are a procedure for correcting various types of cosmetic defects of the teeth. With the help of veneers, the shape and color of the teeth can be corrected, depending on the tooth defect and the patient's wishes. Dental veneers are most often used to restore teeth in the aesthetic area (front teeth). If necessary, at the request of the patient, dental veneers can also be used for the restoration of posterior teeth. Even if the defect affected only one tooth, the best aesthetic result can be achieved by restoring several teeth at once (for example, four incisors). Thus it is possible to achieve complete compatibility of teeth both in color and in shape, which contributes to a better aesthetic appeal. With proper oral hygiene, veneers last an average of ten years or more.

• What is the procedure for installing veneers? +

  1. The dentist takes an impression of the patient's teeth / scans the prosthetic area with a 3D scanner, and then determines the tone and shape of the dental veneers to be made.

  2. The teeth to be restored are being lightly polished. After teeth milling, an impression is taken again, then the dentist sends one to the dental laboratory.

  3. The dentist makes special temporary plates from plastic, which, as a temporary option, are attached to the teeth being milled.

  4. In the dental laboratory, veneers are made from wax, which are tried on to the patient's teeth. If the shape of the crowns is completely suitable for the patient, then veneers are made in the dental laboratory.

  5. During the patient's next visit, the dentist fixes the veneers with strong cement.

• Is it possible to see the look of the teeth and smile-to-be before the treatment? +

  Yes, there is such an opportunity :) With digital modeling, you can clearly see the future-to be smile of the patient. To have that, you need to sign up for a doctor's consultation, who will do a 3D scan. And you can almost immediately see the digital model of your smile :)
