Aesthetic dentistry and teeth whitening in Riga — veneers and a beautiful smile that lasts
Aesthetic dentistry
Aesthetic dentistry is a treatment process that lets you change the shape, length and colour of a tooth and, in doing so, improve the overall look of your smile. A small correction of asymmetry or the reduction of a diastema — the gap between the front teeth — gives the patient a natural, pleasing smile. Even before the procedure begins, the patient can see the expected result: this makes it possible to choose exactly the shape and shade of smile you want and to make the decision feeling confident about the final outcome.
Fine veneers
One of the best-known and most sought-after solutions is porcelain veneers — fine, almost transparent ceramic plates that are bonded to the front surface of the tooth with a special cement. Fixed to the tooth enamel, a veneer lets the tooth look natural and creates a strikingly aesthetic smile, while concealing irregularities, cracks or unwanted discolouration. Thanks to the durability of the ceramic material, the tooth keeps its functional ability even after the veneer is placed.
Dental restoration
A quite different solution is dental restoration — rebuilding the lost part of a tooth by filling (including replacing blackened or metal fillings) with light-curing composite materials. Where caries has significantly damaged a tooth and a filling can no longer save the situation, restoration with dental inlays is used — individually made ceramic or composite micro-prostheses that restore both the appearance and the function of the tooth.
Teeth whitening
Every one of us dreams of a dazzlingly white, beautiful smile. Unfortunately, the daily use of tea, coffee, red wine and other food with colour pigments gradually stains the tooth enamel and the teeth grow darker.
The We Care dental clinic offers professional teeth whitening with a modern Beyond lamp, which speeds up the action of the whitening gel and ensures an even, long-lasting result in a single visit. The procedure can make teeth up to eight shades lighter while being gentle on the enamel.

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.
