Assessment and planning — Implants replace missing tooth roots and support individual teeth or bridges. The partner clinic reviews medical history and digital 3D imaging to plan placement. Where bone is insufficient, assessment may include bone augmentation or a sinus lift.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 — A fixed arch is supported by four or six implants, selected according to bone and medical conditions. All-on-6 can replace 12–14 teeth. The clinic describes implant placement followed by the final prosthesis after 3–6 months, with a temporary prosthesis during integration.

Implant systems and complex cases — The published range includes Bio3, Nobel Biocare and Neobiotech IS II/IS III. Zygomatic, subperiosteal and pterygoid options address selected cases involving severe bone loss. Subperiosteal implants sit over the jawbone beneath the tissue; pterygoid implants use the rear upper-jaw region.

Maintaining the restoration — The partner clinic emphasises cleaning around the bridge supports and periodic dental visits. The clinic notes that implant-supported restorations can fail and require ongoing care.

E.max veneers — Thin porcelain facings cover the front of teeth to address gaps, chips, unwanted shape, discolouration or unattractive fillings. The partner clinic describes thicknesses of 0.5–0.7 mm and a possible lifespan of 10–15 years with appropriate care.

Whitening options — Office whitening uses hydrogen peroxide in sessions of about 30 minutes; several sessions may be needed. Home treatment uses fitted silicone trays and carbamide peroxide, with wearing time prescribed by the dentist. Internal whitening treats discoloured root-treated teeth in stages before the final filling.

Assessment and aftercare — The clinic describes examination, cleaning and dentist supervision before and during whitening. Temporary sensitivity can occur. Results depend on diet and habits, and maintenance may be needed. New white fillings may be scheduled after a waiting period following whitening. The clinic excludes whitening during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Gum contouring — Aesthetic gum surgery can adjust excessive gum display and the gum line before veneers or crowns are planned.

Crowns and fixed bridges — Crowns restore prepared teeth or retained roots. Bridges replace missing teeth using adjacent supporting teeth. Implant-supported restorations can be screwed or cemented onto implants. Fixed work remains in place rather than being removed by the patient.

Removable options — The clinic lists complete dentures, partial dentures with clasps, metal-framework dentures and combined restorations with attachments. A laboratory-made cast post can support restoration where a tooth’s root remains.

Materials and laboratory methods — The partner clinic describes Swiss Metoxit zirconia CAD/CAM and German EOES laser melting. Its material options include Prettau zirconia, with shades selected to resemble natural teeth, alongside other ceramic and metal-ceramic restorations.

Choosing the restoration — Planning considers chewing, speech, jaw movement, strength, compatibility with oral tissues and appearance. The remaining teeth, available support and the need to remove a prosthesis for cleaning help determine the appropriate design.

Clear aligners — The partner clinic offers removable Invisalign aligners for selected alignment problems. Its published schedule describes approximately 22 hours of daily wear and changes every three weeks; your orthodontist specifies the actual sequence.

Fixed braces — Metal braces use metal brackets and nickel-titanium or steel wires. Ceramic brackets provide a less visible option. The clinic also offers Damon self-ligating braces and describes possible advantages for comfort, cleaning and appointment frequency.

Children and removable appliances — Removable appliances can help manage jaw relationships, arch space and early loss of baby teeth during mixed dentition. The clinic suggests assessment when the first permanent molars emerge, around age six, with earlier review for visible problems.

Duration and daily care — The published duration for fixed appliances is 8–24 months, depending on the problem. An initial adjustment period can occur. Thorough cleaning around brackets, orthodontic brushes and care with hard foods form part of the clinic’s guidance. Follow-up appointments remain part of the treatment plan.

Preparation for dentures — When a removable denture is planned, the surgeon assesses whether excess soft tissue or bony prominences prevent a stable fit. Pre-prosthetic surgery can remove these obstacles and prepare the supporting area.

Tooth and root removal — The partner clinic lists wisdom-tooth removal, extraction of retained or damaged teeth and extractions needed for orthodontic or prosthetic treatment. Remaining root fragments may also need removal when they pose a risk of infection or cyst formation.

Abscess treatment — Where treatment of the tooth has not resolved an infection, surgery can drain the abscess and clean the affected space. The clinician determines whether antibiotics are needed. Assessment considers the location and extent of the infection before selecting treatment.

Conscious sedation — Intravenous sedation can reduce anxiety and produce relaxation and reduced recollection during dental care. The clinic distinguishes conscious sedation from general anaesthesia: patients retain protective reflexes and can respond to verbal instructions.

When it may be considered — The partner clinic describes sedation for patients whose fear prevents completion of treatment, including cleaning, impressions, fillings, extractions and implant surgery. The decision follows assessment rather than the size of the procedure alone.

Assessment and administration — The dentist and anaesthesiologist review the medical history and contraindications. The clinic lists intravenous propofol and midazolam as one technique. Conditions affecting breathing, pregnancy, previous treatment and other health factors can affect suitability; the anaesthesiologist chooses the method and monitoring plan.

Early visits — The partner clinic describes an introductory visit around age 2–3 to familiarise children with the clinic, teach care of teeth and gums and establish regular check-ups.

Care for baby teeth — Primary teeth support eating, speech and the space needed for permanent teeth. Decay can cause pain and infection, so treatment and prevention remain relevant even though these teeth will eventually be replaced.

Sealants and fluoride — Sealants place a thin resin coating over grooves in newly erupted permanent molars to help prevent decay. The clinic also describes periodic topical fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel, with the amount controlled to avoid excessive exposure.

Everyday prevention — The clinic combines treatment with brushing instruction and dietary advice. It discusses limiting frequent sugary foods and fizzy drinks and building habits that children can maintain between appointments.
