In an age where prevention is central, we are convinced that the key to a radiant smile and optimal oral health lies in rigorous dental hygiene and well-controlled prophylaxis.

To achieve this goal, our team puts its expertise and knowledge at your disposal. We follow evidence-based, clinically proven programmes to prevent dental caries and gum disease. All our patients receive personalised preventive advice on how to maintain their oral health and prevent future disease/problems.

Bleaching, the use of veneers and orthodontic correction using clear aligners are dental procedures that can be used to aesthetically improve the colour, shape, and position of natural teeth. The type of discolouration and the clinical condition of the teeth often determine the safest and most stable type of whitening procedure to use.

Placing veneers on teeth can be a suitable alternative to teeth whitening when the aim is to change not only the colour but also the shape of the tooth. Veneers are custom-shaped plastic or porcelain shells that are attached to the front of the teeth to create a more aesthetically appealing appearance. However, veneers may not be suitable for aesthetic correction of widely crooked and displaced teeth, or for covering large gaps between teeth. In these situations, the use of custom-made clear aligners (i.e. Invisalign) can be used to orthodontically move teeth into more ideal positions. Compared to the traditional use of metal braces, the use of clear aligners has proven to be an easier, more comfortable, and more discreet way of moving teeth. For these reasons, it is an attractive treatment option also for adult patients who wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile.

In most cases, each of these dental therapies will significantly improve aesthetics. However, some patients may require a combination of several cosmetic dental procedures to achieve a satisfactory result. Our dentists and specialists have the knowledge and experience to conduct these specific therapies for patients wishing to improve the appearance of their teeth.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is caused by a chronic, persistent bacterial infection that affects the supporting structure of the teeth (gum and bone). If left untreated, the disease usually progresses until the entire tooth support is destroyed. This will eventually lead to the total loss of the tooth.

The accumulation of plaque (bacterial film) and calculus on the teeth is the main cause of the development of periodontal disease. However, other factors such as smoking, genetic predisposition, diabetes, diet, autoimmune diseases, hormonal changes, and excessive alcohol consumption can all influence the development of periodontal disease.

The main treatment for periodontal disease is good oral hygiene. Detailed information and instructions on this subject are specifically covered and explained by the dental hygienist. The dental hygienist and the general dental practitioner are the main clinicians in the management and control of the periodontal condition of patients. Patient-specific clinical and radiological follow-up checks, including professional cleaning of stained teeth and calculus removal, will, for most patients, keep periodontal disease at bay.

In cases where periodontal disease is at a more advanced stage, additional treatments such as medication (local or general) and surgery will often be necessary and used. A periodontologist (a dentist specialising in periodontal disease) is often consulted when patients suffer from advanced or uncontrolled periodontal disease. The periodontologist has the best expertise to carry out treatments that promote healing and reconstruction of the supporting structures (bone and soft tissue) around teeth that have been lost or damaged for a variety of reasons.

Endodontic treatment (root canal treatment) is sometimes necessary for teeth with an inflamed or infected pulp and root canal system.

Root canal treatment is usually carried out by a general dental practitioner. This treatment is sometimes technically difficult and time-consuming. The anatomy of the root canal system, particularly that of the molars, can be complex and difficult to access. Consequently, technical skill, anatomical knowledge and adherence to appropriate hygiene procedures are all important in achieving a good clinical result and a good long-term prognosis for the treated tooth.

A dentist with a clinical specialisation in endodontology (an endodontist) is trained to treat the most complex cases, as well as infections originating from the tooth that affect the root surface and surrounding tissues. The use of a microscope and micro-instruments is most often imperative to carry out high-quality root canal treatments.

Patients are most often referred to the endodontist by their dentist for complex treatments, but patients can also contact our dental practice directly for a consultation.

Our specialist in endodontology is Dr Isabelle Portenier.

Orthodontics for children & adults

Poor positioning of the teeth or jaws due to developmental irregularities can lead to bite disturbances (malocclusions).

Diagnosis of malocclusions

Malocclusions are diagnosed with appropriate clinical examinations, which may also include plaster model assessments, clinical photographs, and X-rays for cephalometric analysis.

Correction of malocclusions

Most malocclusions can be corrected with various orthodontic treatments which may include the use of fixed or removable appliances on the teeth. The severity of the malocclusion will determine if, when and what type of orthodontic treatment plan may be most beneficial in each case.

Patients (children and adults) requiring orthodontic treatment are invited to contact our dental practice for a consultation with our experienced orthodontist.

Our orthodontic specialist is Dr. Teodor Gatlan.
