Why is it necessary to restore the natural tooth anatomy?

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:09:55+03:00

Restoring all the natural ridges during a dental filling is not only necessary for maximum aesthetic results! The natural pits and ridges help to restore chewing function. If the existing filling is flat, the correct interlocking of the upper and lower jaw teeth is disturbed, and therefore the correct fusion of the jaws. If there are many such fillings in the mouth, the correct biting system is seriously disturbed. It should also be mentioned that flat fillings are less resistant to stress. Dear patients, if you have a lot of flat fillings in your mouth without restored tooth anatomy, you

Endodontics

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:09:14+03:00

A patient came to our clinic with an unpleasant biting sensation on her tooth. After clinical examination and X-rays, it was found that there was quite extensive inflammation under the tooth. We started root canal treatment or endodontics and later a filling. Such teeth with extensive inflammation need to be monitored in the long term to observe how the inflammation heals. The patient will return to our clinic in 6 months for follow-up x-rays. Don't put off your visit, book a dental check-up now! Article prepared by dr.

FILLINGS OR PROSTHETICS?

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:08:40+03:00

When filling a tooth after caries removal, a strict protocol must be followed. The tooth must be isolated from saliva and blood. Next, the tooth is treated with a special acid and a bandage, which in plain language can be called an adhesive, is applied. It binds the tooth to the material to be filled. Next, the tooth is constructed with the filling material, which mimics both the colour and the physical characteristics of the tooth. The process also uses a polymerisation lamp to make the composite material hard and durable. In our clinic, we not only perform fillings after

Do I need professional dental hygiene if I have fillings or crowns?

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:06:50+03:00

Yes! It is recommended to have dental hygiene 2 times a year to maintain the appearance of a filling, crown, onlay or any other tooth restoration. It has been proven that dental restorations last longer if hygiene recommendations are followed. Each filling and crown has its own lifespan and with proper care will last you longer. If you do not want to change fillings, crowns or other restorations often, follow the recommendations of your dentist and hygienist by having a dental hygiene appointment 2 times a year. The video below shows a patient of ours who regularly visits her dental

Dental onlays 🦷

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:20:35+03:00

Dental onlays are restorations used to repair and strengthen a damaged tooth. 👉Definition: dental onlays are custom-made restorations, individual to each patient, made from materials such as porcelain or composite. They are designed to cover part of the tooth surface, for example in cases where the decay is too large to be replaced with a filling, but not large enough for a crown. 👉Function: onlays are made to restore the structure of the tooth - to strengthen it and preserve its function. It is a conservative tooth treatment that preserves as much tooth tissue as possible (compared to crowns). 👉Procedure:

WHAT CAN BE A SIGN OF TOOTH DECAY?

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:16:39+03:00

Caries is not just a bright black spot on a tooth. There are some signs that a tooth may have a problem: If food has suddenly started to get stuck between your teeth (and this has never happened before); If the floss tears or becomes stringy during use (this is because the tooth surface has sharp edges, which is a sign of tooth decay); If the enamel has changed colour: darker or lighter; If the tongue feels sharp edges; Toothache when eating (especially if the damaged tooth reacts to sweet, sour, cold or hot foods). Sometimes a person with tooth

Endodontics or root canal treatment

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:15:05+03:00

Endodontics is a root canal treatment that is necessary when the nerve of a tooth is inflamed or inflammation has already developed at the root end. This procedure sometimes takes several visits. The length of treatment is determined by the number of root canals, their different anatomical curvatures, the extent of inflammation, the position of the tooth and other factors. During the procedure, our clinic uses the latest instruments and devices available on the market to successfully clean, disinfect and fill the canals. During the treatment process, several X-ray examinations are carried out to further confirm the quality of the

Stress has a negative impact on our psycho-emotional state, which makes bruxism, or "gnashing of teeth", a hot topic Often people are unaware of how stressful situations during the day or in their sleep cause them to grind or clench their teeth, which contributes to tooth breakage or increased sensitivity to various irritants.

3 points that indicate a visit to the dentist

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:13:27+03:00

First - it's time for your annual check-up or dental hygiene. Ideally, this visit should be scheduled once a year or even once every six months. During the visit, the doctor will assess whether any treatment is needed, perform a hygiene check and take X-rays if necessary. The second is, of course, complaints. Complaints about a tooth can be quite varied - it may become sensitive when eating sweets, it may start to react to temperature changes, it may start to hurt at night or it may hurt when biting.

Why is it necessary to replace a tooth that has been extracted as soon as possible?

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:12:16+03:00

The adjacent teeth begin to tilt towards the lost tooth, resulting in gaps between the teeth and a misaligned bite. If the lost tooth is in the lower jaw, the upper jaw tooth starts to pull out. The jawbone does not receive the biting load as it did before, so it starts to shrink in volume. Difficulty chewing food causes discomfort. Over time, the shape of the face changes due to improper bite and bone loss, and the facial features age more quickly. In our clinic, we offer the primary solution to replace missing teeth with dental implants, but other
