Dental cosmetics and aesthetics
A person’s eyes and teeth significantly influence their first impression. The trend of total beauty is finding its way to this country, and it includes perfect teeth. The latest materials and methods allow us to make each row of teeth perfect, using “dental cosmetics”. Thus, the shining smile of any Hollywood star is available to everybody.

Perfect tooth line
Chipped tooth edges and corners can be fixed with a special material so
that an original defect is not noticeable. Shorter and narrower teeth
can be aligned with adjacent teeth and spaces between teeth can be
filled with porcelain shells. Defects in the gum line can be eliminated.
Teeth then do not decay and sensitivity to external stimuli, such as
cold, is reduced.

Porcelain (ceramic) crowns
If a tooth must be treated with the crown then the best material is the
ceramic crown. First, the tooth is ground, and then a metal cap is
molded. The cup is covered with a ceramic layer. This phase requires
some time. In the meantime, ground teeth are covered with a temporary
cover that is made and applied immediately after the tooth print is
taken. This cover protects against painful stimuli from outside the
tooth. The latest and most popular trend for improving the front teeth
is laying ceramic on ceramic – the “Empress system.” With this method we
are able to improve the permanent and non-esthetic position, of teeth
and their original color.

Ceramic and golden inlays and inlay bridges
The most recent method in tooth filling is the use of ceramic inlays in
the color of the original tooth. The inlay bridge can replace a missing
tooth in case the patient does not want his/her healthy teeth filed. Old
fillings are taken from adjacent teeth and replaced with inlays that
form the missing tooth.
