RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY AND ENDODONTICS

A healthy and functional smile begins with proper care and restoration of damaged teeth.

COMPOSITE FILLINGS

Discreet and efficient restoration

Composite (white) fillings are used to repair minor to medium-sized tooth damage caused by caries or trauma. They are made of a material that aesthetically adapts to the color of the natural tooth, providing an invisible but reliable solution.

Advantages of composite fillings:
  • Aesthetically natural appearance – They blend perfectly with the color of the teeth.
  • Minimally invasive procedure – The maximum amount of healthy tissue is preserved.
  • Immediate Functionality – The seal is solid and functional immediately after placement.

In the case of major tooth destruction, when the filling cannot provide sufficient stability and durability, the solution is more advanced ceramic restorations such as Inlay , Onlay and Overlay restorations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does the composite filling procedure take?

The procedure is usually quick and lasts from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the tooth damage.

Is the filling procedure painful?

The procedure for placing composite fillings is performed under local anesthesia, so the procedure is painless.

How long do composite fillings last?

Composite fillings can last from 3 to 10 years with proper hygiene and regular dental examinations.

ENDODONTICS

Saving teeth with root canal treatment

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of infections and inflammation inside the tooth itself. When bacteria penetrate the pulp space (the so-called nerve) and cause an infection, root canal treatment is necessary to save the tooth and avoid its extraction.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does the endodontic treatment process look like?
  1. Diagnostics – Accurate imaging of teeth using a digital X-ray machine.
  2. Removal of infection – Thorough cleaning and disinfection of the root canal.
  3. Root canal filling – Filling with the most modern materials and methods for this purpose, thus preventing the re-spread of the infection.
  4. Tooth reconstruction – After treatment, the tooth is restored with a composite material or a ceramic restoration (crown, inlay, onlay, overlay).
Why is it important to save a tooth with root canal treatment?
  • Retention of teeth and roots in the dental arch – Preservation of the natural function and stability of the dental row.
  • Avoidance of major complications – Prevents the spread of infection to the surrounding tissues and bones.
  • Long-lasting solutions – With a quality restoration, the tooth can last for years.

RETREATMENT

Revision of previously treated canals

If the previous treatment did not bring the desired result, the symptoms are present again or the dentist notices signs of infection on the x-ray, it is necessary to re-treat the root canals and clean them of infection again.

What does the retreatment process look like?
  • Removing the old filling
  • re-disinfection of the canal and medication if necessary
  • Channel refill
  • New, hermetically sealed filling for long-term tooth protection

If the symptoms do not subside even after this, the tooth is indicated for an apicotomy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is root canal revision painful?

Root canal revision is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the procedure. After the procedure, there may be mild discomfort or sensitivity that lasts for a few days.

How long does a root canal audit take?

The root canal revision procedure can last from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and the number of canals to be cleaned, sometimes in several visits.

What symptoms indicate that a root canal revision is needed?

Symptoms may include toothache, swelling and redness of the skin and mucous membranes in the head and neck area. If these symptoms are present, it is necessary to consult a dentist.
