Treatments

Retainer made of platinum-gold alloyTemporomandibular Disorders / OrthodonticsTemporomandibular disorders & orthodontic treatment that avoids extractions where possibleWe measure jaw movement and skeletal structure, and treat by adjusting the bite. Aiming to preserve teeth where possible, we plan orthodontic treatment after examining the skeleton and bite.Learn more Upper complete dentureDenturesDenturesWe examine the skeletal structure and jaw movement, and design dentures from the bite. The director personally fabricates the laboratory work.Learn more Analysis of a side-view X-ray of the head, and a 3D diagram showing the implant positionDental ImplantsDental implantsOn the day of implant surgery, we set aside appointment time for a single patient.Learn more Crowns for the upper front teethAesthetic DentistryAesthetic dentistryWe provide aesthetic dental treatment that also takes into account the function of the whole mouth, for a more natural look.Learn more Eyepieces of a dental operating microscopeRoot Canal TreatmentRoot canal treatmentIn root canal treatment, we use a microscope to magnify and check the canals as we work.Learn more

It is used to make denture frameworks and other parts.Temporomandibular disordersDenturesCrownsLearn more Zirconia crowns (full arch)ZirconiaZirconia crownsCrowns made by optically scanning the wax shape, milling the crown from zirconia with CAD/CAM, sintering it, and finally correcting any deviations.CrownsTemporomandibular disordersLearn more Aligning the surfaces of components on a model with a milling machineParallel MillingParallel millingA technique for milling the surfaces of denture components and of the crowns on the supporting teeth so that they are parallel to the direction in which the denture is put in and taken out.DenturesCrownsLearn more Laser welder in the dental laboratoryLaser WeldingLaser weldingA method of joining metals by welding a high-purity platinum-gold alloy wire into the base metal in argon gas.DenturesCrownsOrthodonticsLearn more Gold-coloured metal overlays on the dental arch of a modelMetal overlayMetal overlayA device that turns the lower jaw position and bite information calculated from examinations into a metal form placed over the biting surfaces of the teeth.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsLearn more Upper and lower MEAW (Multiloop Edgewise Archwire) on a black backgroundMEAW (Multiloop Edgewise Archwire)MEAWAn orthodontic wire with many small loops bent into it, used to move individual teeth forward and back, side to side, up and down, and in their inclination.OrthodonticsTemporomandibular disordersLearn more Objective lens and light of a dental operating microscopeDental Operating MicroscopeDental operating microscopeA dental microscope that magnifies and illuminates the area being treated.
