You’re not satisfied with the color, shape or the alignment of your front teeth, but you’re tired of covering your mouth and being ashamed of your smile? Placing veneers, various methods of teeth whitening and replacing old fillings with esthetic composite ones can procure incredible transformations – quickly, painlessly and with no damage to the health of your teeth.

Does veneer attachment hurt? No, veneer attachment procedure is painless in every of its stages. Teeth recontouring is very slight compared to the crown therapy (around 0.5 mm) and if it is necessary it can be done under local anesthesia. There are also the so called, non-prep veneers that don’t require any drilling preparation and so they allow immediate dental impression which makes the procedure completely painless.

Periodontal diseases (periodontopathy), otherwise known as diseases of the dental gum, jaw bone and related ligaments is, just after cavity, the second most widespread modern world disease! In the earlier stages of periodontitis or gingivitis, following symptoms are present (but not always): gum bleeding, small swelling, redness and slight pain. Therefore, try to make some time for a dentist appointment at the Smile Studio and make sure to do it before you end up needing a more complex (and expensive) treatment. :)

Will my body accept the implant? In the past 20 years the percentage of successful implant attachment was never as high as today (98%), observed regardless of the patient’s age. Today we have more understanding of the factors that affect the success of the implant case acceptance, so we can say with confidence that the implant rejection rate is at its minimum.

[PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY] A special place in Smile Studio is reserved for our little patients. When working with children it is very important to gain their trust in order to get our little patient comfortable enough to sit on the chair, open his/her mouth and allow access to some doctor that uses strange swirling contraptions. That trust combined with frequent controls and oral hygiene is the key to lifelong dental health.
