General Dentistry
1. Preventive check-ups and oral health assessment
-
Regular dental check-ups are suitable for all ages: from children and teenagers to adults and older patients. A dentist performs the examination, which usually lasts 15–20 minutes.
-
The check-up includes a detailed evaluation of the teeth, gums and oral cavity, identifying cavities, inflammation and other dental concerns. Routine appointments help detect problems early and reduce the need for more extensive treatment later on.
How to know if you need it:
-
You may benefit from a check-up if you notice bleeding when brushing, sensitivity to hot or cold, bad breath, pain while chewing, or if it has been more than six months since your last dental visit.
2. Tooth-coloured fillings (nano composite fillings)
-
Tooth-coloured composite fillings are suitable for children and adults who have cavities or tooth damage and want a natural, aesthetic result. A dentist performs the procedure, which takes 20–40 minutes.
-
During treatment the cavity is removed, the tooth is cleaned, and a composite material is applied and hardened with light to create a durable, natural-looking finish.
How to know if you need it:
-
Look out for a dark spot, a small hole, brief sharp pain when eating something sweet, cold or hot, an unpleasant taste, or food repeatedly getting stuck in the same place.
3. Endodontic treatment – Root canal therapy
-
Root canal therapy is intended for adults and older teenagers who have inflammation or infection of the tooth nerve. It is performed by an endodontist or a dentist trained in endodontics and typically takes 60–90 minutes.
-
The procedure involves cleaning, disinfecting and sealing the root canals to prevent further infection and preserve the natural tooth.
How to know if you need it:
-
Symptoms include strong, spontaneous or throbbing pain (especially at night), swelling around the tooth, sensitivity when chewing, pain radiating towards the ear, or the tooth beginning to darken.
4. Tooth extractions
-
Extraction is recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, infected or cannot be restored. It is suitable for adults, teenagers and older patients. A dentist or oral surgeon performs the procedure under local anaesthesia, usually within 15–30 minutes.
-
The tooth is safely removed, and the patient receives clear instructions for aftercare.
How to know if you need it:
-
Extraction may be necessary if the tooth is broken down to the root, causes persistent pain, has significant swelling, frequent infections, is loose, or if only the root remains.
5. Dental hygiene and tartar removal (professional cleaning)
-
Professional dental cleaning is suitable for all ages, including pregnant patients and older individuals. It is performed by a dentist or dental hygienist and lasts 20–40 minutes.
-
The procedure removes tartar, soft deposits and bacteria using ultrasound and polishing, leaving teeth cleaner and gums healthier.
How to know if you need it:
-
Signs include visible tartar, bleeding during brushing, bad breath, yellowing of the teeth, or a rough surface you can feel with your tongue.
6. Treatment of gum disease (periodontology)
-
This service is intended for adults with inflamed or bleeding gums, bad breath, or deeper periodontal pockets. A periodontist performs the treatment, which may take 30–60 minutes.
-
The procedure includes deep cleaning beneath the gums, removal of hardened deposits and stabilisation of the tissues to prevent tooth loss.
How to know if you need it:
-
Indicators include bleeding gums, gum recession, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, pain when chewing, or visible deep pockets around the teeth.
