So many people, so many kinds of tartar

With some people, it is easy to remove, while others have tough, discoloured tartar; for some, it requires frequent removal, while others we will barely have any tartar forming in 2 years’ time. At our clinic we strive to give bespoke solutions tailored to your needs.

1. Détartrage avec polissage (formule de base)

Le tartre est enlevé avec un détartreur dentaire à ultrasons, puis la surface des dents est polie à l'aide d’une brosse et une pâte à polir. Le traitement dure 30 minutes
.
2. Détartrage avec polissage et aéropolissage (formule juste milieu)

Le tartre est enlevé avec un détartreur à ultrasons, puis la surface des dents est nettoyée avec un aéropolisseur (Prophy-Mate, NSK) et par un polissage classique. L’aéropolissage permet d’éliminer certaines colorations dentaires (dûes au café, thé, tabagisme) et de nettoyer les endroits inaccessibles aux ultrasons, par exemple l’espace entre les dents encombrées ou les dents stabilisées par un fil de contention. Le traitement dure 40 minutes.

3. La [GBT] Guided Biofilm Therapy (formule premium)

Nous commençons le traitement par la mise en évidence des dépôts de plaque sur les dents en les colorant afin de vérifier la rigueur du brossage à domicile et de rendre l'efficacité du brossage visible au patient. Au cours de ce traitement, le biofilm et le tartre sont éliminés des dents par un aéropolissage minutieux. Ensuite, nous utilisons un détartreur à ultrasons pour retirer le tartre mature et très adhérent, puis nous faisons appel à nouveau à l’aeropolisseur pour nettoyer la surface des dents. Dans certains cas, il peut être nécessaire d'utiliser de la poudre à aéropolisseur à granulométries différents.

Avantages:

• la technique la plus douce pour éliminer le tartre
• la moins douloureuse
• la plus agréable de toutes les méthodes de détartrage et est donc recommandée pour tous, des enfants aux porteurs d'implants dentaires
• la révélation de la plaque dentaire permet au patient de mieux voir les zones où la plaque dentaire s'accumule et ainsi l'éliminer totalement
• à la fin du traitement, nous appliquons un produit spécial pour renforcer l‘émail des dents

Le traitement dure 50 minutes.

4. Formule premium avec conseils d'hygiène bucco-dentaire à domicile (formule premium combinée)

Choisissez la formule premium, c’est a dire un détartrage combiné avec des conseils d'hygiène bucco-dentaire à suivre à domicile (home sweet home with beautiful teeth).

Groupes cibles:

• personnes ayant reçu des implants
• porteurs de prothèses dentaires fixes ou amovibles
• personnes souffrantes de la parodontite
• patients porteurs d'appareils orthodontiques fixes

Pendant le traitement, au-delà du détartrage premium, nous vous montrerons comment nettoyer correctement et efficacement vos dents et votre prothèse (remplacement de dent). Le patient peut emporter chez lui les outils de soins bucco-dentaires utilisés lors de la présentation: brosse à dents, dentifrice, fil dentaire, brosse interdentaire, gel de renforcement de l'émail. Lors de la consultation, nous prenons des photos de l'utilisation correcte des outils de soins dentaires.

La durée du traitement est de 80 minutes.

Comment ça marche?

Basé sur une technologie d'inspiration biologique, le phosphate de calcium amorphe se transforme rapidement en hydroxylapatite, un composant clé de l'émail et de la dentine, grâce à son extraordinaire réactivité. Au contact de la salive, les particules se dissolvent instantanément en libérant rapidement les principes actifs qui pénètrent dans les zones endommagées afin de reminéraliser l'émail et la dentine. La composition unique des produits Biosmalto garantit une protection fiable de l'émail à tout âge.

Avantages:

• prend effet rapidement
• biomimétique

At our clinic, three teeth whitening methods are used:

• home whitening
• in-office whitening
• internal whitening of a tooth (walking bleach)

All these procedures are gentle and cause no damage whatsoever to the teeth. Their operating mechanism is best likened to deep carpet cleaning. The teeth whitening substance placed on the teeth reaches the depth of the tooth enamel surface dissolving the deposits and resulting in a whiter colour.

FYI:

Is teeth whitening safe?
Is it safe? However, there are risks and limitations to its effectiveness, and it is worth knowing these before you start. These conditions very rarely rule out the possibility of whitening. Consult your dentist about the possible risks!

How long does a whitening treatment last?
It depends on the type of treatment you choose. Pola office+ in-office professional whitening takes up to 30 minutes (including preparation up to 1 hour), while Zoom AP takes 1 hour. Home whitening takes one and a half hours per day on average for about a week.

How long will my teeth retain the lighter tooth colour achieved during whitening?
This depends largely on the individual patient's personal circumstances, lifestyle, eating and dental care habits. In general, however, both the professional in-office and the at-home versions usually provide whiter teeth for 1-2 years. If you do not change your habits, the same causes that have previously caused your teeth to discolour will start the process of developing stains again, and the yellowish colour may return more quickly.

Can the expected outcome be predicted?
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to predict the outcome. The results will depend largely on the original tooth colour and your habits (coffee drinking, smoking, red wine drinking, etc.). Discuss with your dentist which whitening procedure he or she would recommend based on your habits that cause tooth discolouration.

Are there any side effects of whitening?
If the dentist's instructions are followed and the rules are followed, the vast majority of patients do not experience any side effects.

Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity to cold or heat, but this will disappear soon after the treatment and will not cause any permanent problems.

The sensitivity of the teeth after treatment can be reduced by the use of special gels/gel, toothpastes, mouthwashes. Please consult your dentist or dental hygienist for advice. Our experts will help you choose the treatment that is best for you.

The other most common "side effect" is gum irritation. This type of irritation occurs when a small amount of bleaching agent gets on the gums. This results in a burning sensation on the gums, which disappears after a short time.

Do the fillings in the teeth or the crowns on the teeth change colour during whitening?
Teeth whitening only removes any stains that may have settled on the surface of the fillings, it cannot change their original colour, nor can it change the colour of the crowns. Existing fillings and crowns should only need to be replaced if the colour of the bleached teeth is significantly different from the colour of the filling/crown.

Can teeth whitening be done during pregnancy?
In the case of pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding, in-office or home bleaching is not recommended.

Important information before starting teeth whitening.

Whitening treatment should only be used on healthy gums and teeth. During the assessment, our staff will assess whether any preventive dental treatment is required before starting whitening. Most commonly, this may involve oral hygiene treatments, dental fillings or root canal treatment.

Home whitening

Whitening is preceded by thorough dental scaling at all events. The dentist takes impressions of the teeth following which the patient receives customized whitening strips (splints) and teeth whitening gel packaged in syringes. You are advised to perform whitening following a thorough tooth brush for 6 to 8 days. Being reasonably priced, this is the most popular teeth whitening method. It has the downside, however, that the whitening strip needs to be placed on by the patient at home for 1-2 hours/day, leaving the patient with a “home assignment”.

In-office teeth whitening with Pola Office+ professional

At our clinic teeth whitening involves, among others, the use of cutting-edge Australian PolaWhite products. The fastest teeth whitening agent worldwide, PolaWhite products efficiently yet safely whiten your teeth in a matter of less than 30 minutes. All PolaWhite products are developed with the utmost attention to the patient’s needs.

The main features of Pola Office +

• This short treatment includes 3 8-minute-long whitening sessions (excluding preparations).
• The gel-like consistency of the substance ensures maximum bonding and whitening effect.
• Although Pola Office+ requires no teeth whitening light, using one can further accelerate the process.
• The natural PH value of Pola Office+ ensures an utmost sense of comfort both during and post treatment.

Pola Office+ contains potassium nitrate, which significantly alleviates any subs

In-office whitening (Zoom Advanced Power)

Zoom Advanced Power is the cutting-edge office whitening system that is able to brighten several shades in a mere 1.5 hours. The special light source of the ZOOM White Speed whitening lamp is a quick and efficient solution to achieve the best results. In-office teeth whitening (chairside bleaching) is a procedure which can remove discolorations even in the inner tooth enamel. With the appropriate protection and isolation of the gum, the whitening substance is placed on the outer surface of the teeth. The whitening effect is enhanced with a special light which causes the whitening substance to release oxygen molecules capable of achieving a tooth colour 3 or 4 shades whiter.

Benefits of the method:

• outstanding results achieved in one sitting in as little as 1.5 hours.
• Perfect solution for foreigners coming only for a week and looking to get a crown by the weekend.
• Ideal for patients “in a hurry” immediately expecting maximum results.
• Recommended for patients not very keen on home whitening.

However, it has the downside that it costs almost thrice as much as conventional home whitening splints. Transient and individually varying tooth sensitivity may arise that can be eliminated using ACP Relief gel.

ZOOM lamp is manufactured by Philips, USA.

Internal whitening of a tooth (walking bleach)

We have often encountered people smiling at us having one tooth of a greyer shade than the adjacent teeth. This discoloration takes years to develop and the patient usually says “I’m used to it”, “it never aches” and thinks there is nothing amiss with that tooth. In our view, however, this puts patients at a serious aesthetic disadvantage when establishing new relationships, adjusting to a new workplace or a new environment since it will escape nobody’s attention that something is wrong with a person’s teeth. In such cases, patients are advised to avail themselves of a dental check-up, and start off with an X-ray in the first place. It needs to be established whether the discoloured tooth has undergone a root canal treatment. If the tooth is not root canal treated, a vitality examination can determine if the tooth is necrotic. If so, the tooth immediately requires root canal treatment. If root canal treated, the tooth will demonstrate the quality of the root canal treatment in the X-ray image. It is generally inappropriately treated teeth that become discoloured, with infection or interstitial fluid flow remaining in the tooth’s root causing the tooth’s crown to gradually become discoloured with the remaining infection, fluid infiltrating into it.

The success of internal whitening lies is an immaculate, hardwearing root canal sealant. If the root canal filling is adequate, the pulp chamber (nerve chamber) needs to be whitened from INSIDE and temporarily filled. This whitening procedure needs to be repeated as many times as required for the tooth to whiten up and attain a colour matching that of the adjacent teeth. Complete whitening (home or in office whitening) is also recommended at this point in order to enhance aesthetic results. Once white both internally and externally, the teeth are ready to receive a permanent aesthetic filling or a metal-free E.Max crown.

At our clinic, we exclusively use aesthetic (composite), tooth coloured fillings. This filling is also ideal for replacing old amalgam fillings. Durable, yet barely visible, it is also free from any disputed health side effects.

Filling materials

Estelite Asteria

An exclusive light-curing filling material that is both simple to install and has outstanding aesthetic properties. Its colour scale covers the entire dental colour range, with beautiful results guaranteed even with slant sections, with the treated tooth edges being invisible. It can achieve a translucency and shade matching that of the original teeth. It is marked by perfect and long-lasting light-retentiveness and a smooth surface. It is chiefly used for filling front teeth, direct veneers, the re-construction of crowns for chipped off teeth and tooth edge replacement.

Manufactured by Tokuyama Dental, Japan.

GC GRADIA DIRECT

A light-curing direct restorative composite filling offering an exceptionally natural look. In addition to its outstanding aesthetic properties, GC GRADIA DIRECT has all the characteristics that make for a long-lasting filling. It is easy to polish, in other words, a smooth and glossy surface can easily be achieved. It is resistant and flexible efficiently coping with bending and masticatory forces. Chiefly used for restoring and filling rear molars.

The veins and nerves responsible for the vitality of the teeth are inside the teeth. Should these be damaged for one reason or another, the patient may experience a strong and permanent pain, but the damage may also go asymptomatic. The problem may even entail tooth loss. Root canal treatment can salvage the tooth and eliminate pain. During this intervention carried out in local anaesthesia the root canal is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and sealed with a root canal filling.

Inlays and onlays are used for restoring root canal-treated teeth and larger cavities. The dentist prepares the location of the inlay in the tooth and takes an impression used by the dental technician as a mould to make the inlay, which is cemented into the tooth. Inlays can be made from E.Max pressed ceramic, Bell Glass (ceramic-reinforced synthetic resin), gold, etc. This kind of restoration is more durable than ordinary tooth fillings, which makes it ideal for restoring the masticatory function of molars.
