Dental treatments

Your teeth can sometimes become extremely discoloured over the years. If this bothers you, we can whiten them for you. Teeth whitening at home or at our practice is safe and entirely painless. It is very effective at restoring your teeth to their natural white colour.

We can modify the orientation, colour and shape of your teeth by placing veneers. Veneers are very suitable for repairing chipped teeth. We place the composite or porcelain shells over your own teeth. We do not damage them by doing this.

Crowns and bridges allow us to restore teeth which have broken off or are missing. We place a crown over an existing tooth like a shell. If you have a gap in your mouth due to a missing tooth, we can easily fill this empty space with a bridge.

Sometimes a normal dental prosthesis does not have enough support and begins to rattle and slide. If your traditional denture does not stay properly in place, another option is an implant-retained denture. For this we place implants in your jawbone to which we can later fix the implant-retained dentures.

We devote extra time and attention to treatment of children’s teeth. Because most cavities form at a young age, it is important to keep an eye on children’s teeth and protect them from cavities as effectively as possible. Before performing treatment, we always explain to your child exactly what we are going to do.
