Therapy

Beautiful fillings mean healthy teeth. Treatment of caries still holds the first place among a wide range of services that patients seek from dental clinics. While it is possible to stop caries at initial stages of development by special treatment of the tooth surface (e.g., with fluorine-containing solutions), it is required to remove the affected tooth tissue and fill the resulting defect at later stages. A question is often asked: what type of filling is better? Are there any novel original methods to treat caries? Nowadays the fillings made of light-hardening materials are most popular. They are sufficiently strong, can be matched to the tooth colour, are polished easily and do not change their colour with time. High adhesion (attachment of the filling to the wall of tooth cavity) and excellent esthetic properties allow «artistic» restorations of teeth, making it possible to lengthen or widen the tooth, change its colour or close gaps between teeth.

As for children, it is better to choose glass ionic cement that is a unique filling material. Being attached to dentine and enamel, it gives off fluorine which stops caries development. Use of GIC allows of sparing preparation so that a child’s visit to a doctor becomes even pleasant.

Modern fillings must meet the following requirements: repeat anatomical shape of a tooth, attach strongly to dentine and enamel, withstand chewing loads, be undistinguishable from the tooth colour and, above all, preserve all mentioned properties for a long period. So that our fillings meet these requirements, we select the best and time-tested materials of the last generation purchased on the world market of dental materials.

Dentures

It is possible that you did not pay proper attention to treating and prevention of teeth deterioration, so one or even many teeth are lost. The consequences are utterly unpleasant: you have chewing troubles, the articulacy is disturbed, you are shy to smile and some wrinkles at the mouth corners appear. Besides, some latent problems exist: the bite is permanently deformed, the temporo-mandibular joint alters, stomach diseases emerge, the remaining teeth are overloaded and become shaky. Denture making is expensive that is why it is important to choose the clinic where they perform this work well paying due attention to all nuances of modern technologies with the aid of high-class equipment.

Quality of dentures depends entirely on the professional plan of denture works, i.e. on the dentist’s professionalism and making dentures directly at the dental laboratory of our clinic.

Implantation

You miss one or several teeth – it happened recently or several years ago; it’s likely that you will never quite get over it. Fortunately, it is not the case now! Our clinic offers the most advanced implants system in the world developed by a German manufacturer TRINON. Implants are selected by length and diameter depending on the bone condition. Due to the unique construction of the implants, the period of bone and gum healing is sufficiently reduced as compared to all other systems available on the Ukrainian market, so the duration of the denture works is minimized.

Surgery

A doctor may see whether you are ready for an operation not only during personal visit but also by studying your teeth film [orthopantogram] that is e-mailed to the clinic.

Should you still need to extract the tooth or to get other kinds of surgery, our clinic will provide an advice of the surgeon specializing in face and jaws surgery.

• extraction of a tooth, resection of the root top and cystectomy
• removal of follicular cysts
• removal of benign neoplasms
• repositioning of the tooth and splinting
• alveolar ridge correction.

Diagnostics with instrumentation

Actually, it is practically impossible to diagnose in the absence of the newest and sophisticated equipment. «Panmed’s» dentists use radiovisiograph «Trophi» for diagnostic and control purposes. As distinct from the X-ray films of teeth, the radiovisiograph reproduces the image on the screen based on a digital processing of signals received from the detector. This method has a number of important advantages: quick receipt of the enlarged teeth images on the display, convenience, avoidance of errors, harmful effect of X-rays and photo-chemical processing of films, and greater bulk of diagnostic information for future diagnostic analysis. A visiograph makes it possible to assess the anatomical structure of teeth in greater detail, determine the value and depth of caries cavities, root canal lengths, inflammatory changes in the periodontium and parodontium as well as diagnose injuries and secondary changes within the inaccessible for examination aproximal cavities. By diminishing the radiation dose 100 times as compared to the X-ray tube, we may use the radiovisiograph for checking whether the treatment is correct.

Children’s dentistry

Children are treated in our clinic as well. It is not accidental that the children’s dentistry is viewed as a separate chapter because teeth and jaw system of children is arranged in a quite different way as compared to adults, dental diseases run in a different way, therefore these should be treated by specially trained doctors. The first impression that a child gets from visiting the dentist is of utmost importance. If it happens as a light and playful way, without any pain and with a heap of positive emotions (nice chair, amiable doctor), then, later, the child will visit the dentist eagerly and acquire an important habit of caring after teeth.

Preventive measures are of basic importance in treating children. A comprehensive preventive maintenance system that we use at our clinic was developed and tested in the USA.

For courage and valour displayed during treatment the juvenile visitors win the right to choose a gift from a big prize basket. Next time it will be they who drag their parents to us to get some treatment.

Teeth bleaching

If a teeth treatment quality does not cause any doubts, it is proper time to pay attention to bleaching. In order to choose the optimum cleaning teeth procedure for you, it is required to determine whether you wish to get back a natural tint of your teeth or whether it is more important for you to change radically the natural colour of teeth. By the way, only natural teeth can be blanched while crowns or fillings will not change their colour and have to be replaced after bleaching.

If teeth are covered with a deposit, we offer you a professional cleaning procedure. An ultrasonic method of cleaning teeth is particularly popular. A scaler operating in the ultrasonic mode is used to remove hard deposits from teeth and afterwards the teeth surface is polished with the aid of a mechanical brush and a professional cleaning paste. After such procedures teeth of chronic smokers and coffee drinkers become much lighter and many patients prefer to stop at this very stage. It is advisable to upkeep the obtained result with the aid of gels and pastes containing bleaching substances and enzyme supplements. It is quite another case if you are no longer happy with the natural colour of your enamel and wish to change it notably. So as to clarify your enamel by several tint grades, one may resort to a mouthguard method of cleaning (chemical bleaching). A doctor takes casts from a patient’s jaws and gives the plaster casts to the dental laboratory where an individual mouthguard (jaw mold) is made. Afterwards the mouthguard is filled with a bleaching gel. Given an adequate patience, excellent results can be obtained. The teeth that darkened due to trauma or poor treatment of the canal are well susceptible to bleaching. To achieve it, the active matter is introduced inside the tooth.

Progressive bleaching with the aid of the “Beyond” equipment (USA). A dazzling smile – that’s so simple!

No longer that 30 minutes - and your teeth are beautiful and white. Some dark teeth are inborn, some teeth may get darker due to eating food and drinking beverages containing dyeing substances, such as soybean sauce, coffee and tea.

With the course of time the substances making dark deposits penetrate deep into teeth. Same as the white glaze on a china cup exhibits old tea stains, teeth are hard to be blanched with the aid of conventional surface type methods. High technology of “Beyond” facilitates bleaching the inner layers of teeth as well.

The “Beyond” teeth bleaching equipment makes use of a cold light high-intensity ray of the wave length within the 480 – 520 nm range. A special cascade of optical filters removes the harmful infrared and ultraviolet light. The bleaching liquid substance containing hydrogen peroxide and silicon dioxide will quickly blanch the dyeing substances of teeth during one short session restoring their delightful white colour.

With the “Beyond” unit, the bleaching process takes 30 minutes only. More than a million of US citizens used this method.

At low temperature the cold light does not irritate teeth nerves. This single-time procedure has no side effects and preserves bleaching for up to two years. Follow the dentist’s advice and you will retain the achieved effect longer.

The teeth bleaching procedure with “Beyond” is recognized to be the safest and most effective among all those existing nowadays.

Anesthesia

Dentists of the clinic command all kinds of local anesthesia and apply only world-renowned and time-tested anesthetics of French and German producers. A particular anesthetic is selected individually for each patient. Before proceeding to anesthesia, your arterial pressure and the pulse will be measured. At high arterial pressure the doctor will apply the anesthetic containing a minimal dose of vascular suppressor and, possibly, recommend taking tranquilizers prior to treatment. This is necessary at least for avoiding the increase of arterial pressure during the treatment session. Should you decided to take care of your teeth and gums during pregnancy period, do not worry – for future mothers special preparations have been developed that may not penetrate the placenta and are not harmful for an infant. Allergic tests are made on the people liable to allergies before any treatment is administered. Anesthesia comes fast (within 3 minutes) and is extensive and durable..
