Did you know that dental materials such as composites, bondings and cements can contain the toxic monomers bisphenol-A (BPA) and methacrylates (Bis-GMA) and are released during curing. Monomers have adverse effects on our endocrine system. To take care of your health, we use premium materials that do not contain these monomers. We are grateful to Dr Aiva Pakule who presented us with the Elsodent BIO+ range, manufactured in France, with innovative formulas. The company has been producing dental products for 10 years that are specially formulated to provide long-lasting results and are as patient-friendly as possible. The following BIO+ materials

Aesthetic dental restoration

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:45:54+03:00

A story from practice: A patient came in with complaints of a broken filling on a front tooth and a desire to close the gap between the central incisors. According to the patient, the previous filling always broke and the colour of the material to be filled was different from the natural tooth colour. We always try to offer our patients several treatment options. In this case, too, different options were offered: orthodontic tooth retraction, gap closure with restorative material. The patient chose the second option. We carry out the work in a minimally invasive way, almost without grinding the

1. Smile and facial aesthetics Teeth are an important part of the facial appearance and healthy, white teeth significantly improve the smile. Healthy teeth, free of stains and decay, give the face an attractive and confident appearance. A person feels self-confident and becomes more open. We all know that a beautiful smile is one of the most important keys to success. 2.

Why is it important to get a dental implant in time?

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:48:44+03:00

1. Maintains bone structure When a tooth is lost, the jawbone starts to gradually disappear because of the lack of stimulus normally provided by the root. By placing an implant in time, the bone is stimulated and its structure and density are maintained. 2. Maintain oral health In the event of a long-term missing tooth, adjacent teeth can start to move and change their position, which can lead to bite problems and damage to other teeth. Placing an implant helps to keep the tooth row stable and healthy. 3. Restores functionality and comfort A dental implant acts like a natural

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:

Dental hygiene – the best way to keep your teeth healthy

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:39:36+03:00

☝Dental hygiene plays an important role in oral and general health. ☝When done regularly, at least once a year, it is possible to avoid various gum and tooth diseases. ☝Dental hygiene is necessary to remove calculus and subgingival tartar. Tartar serves as a favourable environment for bacteria and micro-organisms that cause various oral diseases such as caries, gingivitis or periodontitis, the treatment of which is quite lengthy and unpleasant. In very severe cases, these diseases can lead to tooth loss. The only procedure that can help fight tartar build-up is regular professional oral hygiene.👄🦷👩🏻‍⚕️ Don’t postpone a visit to the

Dental fillings

Julija Skurjate2025-05-16T13:37:53+03:00

1. Tooth restored with onlay made in the laboratory. The tooth had lost ~50% of tissue due to caries, so the decision was made to restore the tooth with an onlay instead of a filling. This reduces the risk of fracture🙌👄 2. The tooth was restored with a filling. This tooth did not have a large defect, so it could be safely restored with a composite filling🦷 Don’t postpone a visit to the dentist if you have problems with your teeth or smile.

How do dental fillings work?

Administrator2025-05-16T11:55:41+03:00

The most common dental procedure is tooth filling. The first step is to anaesthetise the patient to make the treatment process as comfortable and painless as possible. Next, the entire caries, or hole, in the tooth is drilled out. The dentist then prepares the tooth for the filling by applying insulating rubber to ensure a dry environment, shaping strips, etching and placing a band to ensure that the filling material adheres to the tooth. The filling material is placed in small layers and hardened with a lamp. The final step is to examine the tooth in the bite and polish
