Implantology – this is a method of inserting of artificial root /implant/ in the bone of the upper or lower jaw. Implants are used as a support on which a crown is fixed, completely replacing the lost tooth or the tooth prostheses. The implant structure consists of two main parts the implant itself, which represents a titanium screw, inserted into the bone with a surgical method and a superstructure, also from titanium, which is attached to the implant and represents the outer visible part of the new tooth. Implantology has got substantial advantages to the traditional methods of prosthetics and enables the patient to get teeth which cannot be distinguished in appearance, as well as functionally from his/her own teeth.

Root canal, or endodontic therapy is performed to save a tooth when its soft inner tissue, called the pulp, becomes infected or damaged. Therapy consists of opening the tooth, removing the diseased or dead pulp tissue, cleaning, sterilizing, filling and then sealing the root canals. The treatment is comfortable and entirely pain free. With today's modern dental techniques, aving root canals done by a dentist is no longer a scary experience.

Veneers are made of full ceramics and are fixed to the tooth with an adhesive. Full ceramic materials have a number of advantages, particularly from the aesthetic viewpoint: no other dental material resembles the substance of natural teeth so closely as full ceramics. It is slightly transparent and can scarcely be distinguished from a natural tooth when light falls upon it directly. In addition, it is well tolerated by the body and is biologically compatible. Discoloration, such as that which always reappears in the course of time after bleaching, is not a problem with veneers. Veneers have an extremely long service life, some of them lasting for up to 15 years and longer. It is important for them to be checked at regular intervals, and to ensure proper prophylaxis. Before the veneer is affixed with an adhesive, the tooth is ground down only as much as is absolutely necessary to achieve suitable tooth alignment. This reduced loss of dental substance is a considerable advantage over other methods, such as that required when grinding down a tooth to fit a crown in which considerably more dental substance is removed.
