Thanks to the powerful technical base, the accurate diagnostics and modeling of the expected result is carried out prior to treatment start.
One of the most popular dental procedures is the placement of lumineers. Lumineers are very thin plates (0.2-0.3 mm), which are fixed on the front surface of the tooth without its preliminary facing. Such plates are used for correction of gaps between teeth in the case of small size of natural teeth. Lumineers usually consist of an alloy of porcelain and nickel. They allow the doctors to completely restore the structure of the tooth, its microrelief, color and transparent cutting edges. Lumineers solve many aesthetic issues: they correct the shape and height of the tooth, smooth out irregularities and color of the enamel, hide old fillings, eliminate cracks and chips, as well as minor bite defects, when one tooth is shorter than all the others. Lumineers also help in the treatment of age-related changes, since with age all people have teeth that are partially erased. The placement of lumineers helps to restore beautiful color and shape of teeth. Their service life varies from 15 to 20 years.
The department's specialists also successfully carry out the placement of dental implants, which are the best option for restoration of lost teeth. The implant rod, which is inserted into the jawbone, is made of titanium. Titanium is distinguished by excellent biocompatibility with the tissues of the human body. This fact excludes the development of such complications as implant rejection. The dental implant looks exactly like a natural tooth, and is also fully involved in the chewing process. The department's dentists specialize both in the placement of single implants and in the placement of several implants at the same time, for example, using all-on-4 and all-on-6 techniques.
