Aesthetic dentistry - General dentistry, veneers, porcelain crowns - Gdansk

Cosmetic dentistry includes dental procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the patient’s teeth, gums or bite in order to obtain a perfect smile aesthetics as a result. Treatments such as whitening or porcelain veneers are purely cosmetic. Others combine a therapeutic effect with an emphasis on a beautiful aesthetic effect.

Aesthetic dentistry means conservative treatment with the use of the highest quality composite materials and prosthetic treatment with all-ceramic restorations (veneers, crowns, bridges). It is supported by the gingival and gingival mucus treatments, which guarantee the improvement of the gum line. Orthodontics should not be forgotten, which, apart from regulating the bite, is designed to provide an aesthetic end result in the form of harmonious facial features and a beautiful smile.

In everyday practice, the largest percentage of treatments are cosmetic reconstruction of tooth cavities with composite materials. Patients often make sure that the tooth will be rebuilt with a “white filling”. The Essentia GC super-aesthetic composite dedicated to the front teeth used in Mediss Dental Clinic meets the high requirements set for modern materials, allowing for the highest quality fillings.

When reconstructing cavities in anterior teeth, it is crucial to achieve a perfect fusion of the material with the dental tissues, so that the transition of the composite into the enamel is imperceptible. This requires the right choice of color, precise work with the layering technique, the use of a wide range of dentine and enamel shades, and often additional individual characterizations with the use of staining agents applied to the tooth surface with a brush. The perfectly polished filling delights with its naturalness.

Very often, patients go to the dentist with chipped fillings in their back teeth, sometimes they even report a fracture of the tooth crown. Most often this is due to the weakening of the tooth structure with numerous fillings. Sometimes a subgingival fracture of the wall occurs, which requires a prosthetic reconstruction with a crown or, in the worst case, tooth extraction. In addition, old fillings leave a lot to be desired in terms of color and proper modeling of the occlusal surface.

In the case of extensive old restorations, we offer patients the implementation of composite overlays, whose task is to mechanically strengthen the tooth’s crown, restore its natural shape and ensure proper relations with adjacent and opposing teeth. The onset requires the removal of the old material, special preparation of the remaining tooth tissues, as well as taking the impression and selecting the color. The tooth is secured with a temporary filling, and the scan or impression is sent to the laboratory, where a composite block is prepared on the model, which on the next visit after a few days is fixed with light-cured cement in the place of the lack. It is a form of composite filling with perfect aesthetics, which ensures that it is made outside the oral cavity by a technician working at high magnification.
