Removable and fixed prothesis
Prothesis can’t be missing from our fastidious life if we want to have a good appearance. Nowadays prothesis have developed in a remarkable way and they can fulfill almost any need. We can offer a suitable solution for every kind of edentia. There is always a thorough examination before we make a prothesis, after the preparations and the proper oral hygieni the patient can choose from many possible solutions. We make a removable prothesis just if there aren’t enough teeth for fixing the prothesis or holding the unit. In such cases we connect the existing teeth with a unit, then we connect the removable part to the fix part with an ’invisible’ fixing. This way we can provide a more pleasing and more stable prothesis. Fixed prothesis can give the patients a natural and pleasing smile. We also make metal free prothesis beside metal ceramic crowns and units. These anti-allergic units are very important for those patients who are allergic to metal. Besides these options there are also gold ceramic, titanium ceramic and zirconium ceramic prothesis made in our surgery. With the help of the next animation you can have a look into how fixed prothesis work.
Zirconium crowns and units
Zirconium in dentisrty Would You like to change Your old , not so pleasing, crowns to nicer ones? Do You possibly have metal allergy and You can’t have metal prothesis? The traditional metal crown is strong, but its grey or gold metal frame caused a lot of proplems during the last decades. Among these we can mention the more and more typical metal allergy and the not so pleasing outlook. The metal frame of the traditional metal ceramic crowns doesn’t let light through , therefore the transparency of crowns made by this method is seemingly very different from natural teeth.
Zirconium and its use in dental practice. If we take a look at the well-known Mengyeleyev’s periodic table, we can find zirconium at the 40th place. This element is also called zircon. It is a very hard and solid material, which can cut even steel. It is chemically a very resistant material , only concentrated vitriol acid can melt it. By taking up oxigen (O2) zirconium (Zr) becomes zirconium-dioxid (ZrO2), which is the basic of almost every zircon-product. Zirconium-dioxid is a top-quality ceramics which has been used for decades , for examle at making artificial hip-prosthesis. In today’s modern dentistry the zirconium-dioxid’s (zircon) dynamic development and spread can be seen , because it is remarkably many-sided, strong and aesthetically perfect. Today to our knowledge zirconium is the most modern and highest quality dental material. The reason, why it has started to spread only in the last decades in dentistry, is that making zirconium-oxid dental prothesis needs a very special so called, CAD/CAM system, so traditional dental labs are not suitable for making it. It started to spread in the 1990s when the so called CAD/CAM systems appeared. Preparation of zirconium-oxid is possiple only with the use of this computer system. If You want Your dental prothesis to be like Your original teeth , You should ask your doctor for a unit or crown made of zirconium. Because zirconium can be colored to match the healthy teeth’s color nearby. The steps of making zirconium prothesis are:
-
a precise plaster-cast is made of the impression of the teeth
-
The dental technician puts the plaster-cast into a special scenner, which transforms each and every point of the sample into a picture element and loads it into the computer
-
The dental technician describes gaphically the frame of the later prothesis, creates the size and the form etc. on the computer.
-
According to the information given the robot controled by a computer will carve the wanted frame with micrometeric precision out of the zirconium-oxid block.
-
The dental technician builds up the normal covering ceramic onto this frame layer by layer, colors it and forms it according to the needs of the patient and the doctor.
-
The doctor cements the perfectly pleasant and lifelike prothesis to the prepared post.
You should choose a solution for replacing tooth gap (edentia), where there is some kind of frame material under the porcelain covering. Solutions without any kind of frame material, such as press-ceramic, aren’t long-lasting, they are vulnerable and can break easily, although they are esthetically excellent. The transparency of zircon (metalfree) prothesis is natural, light can pervade through it as much as through original teeth. A well-made zircon crown is difficult to recognise even for a specialist. ADVANTAGES

Crowns , units don’t contain metal, there is no metal allergy
-
Their color is the same as original teeth’s

When do we recommend zirconium crown?
– to change old metal-ceramic crown whose ’edges are grey’
– for root canal treated, discolored tooth
– for tooth strenghtened by metal post
– when having tooth gap to make a pleasant unit replacemnet
– in case of tooth/dental implantation
Zirconium crowns, units Their esthetical advantage is due to the fact that they don’t contain any metal. The spreading of light in the unit/prothesis and in its surroundings is almost the same as in original teeth.
Porcelain shells
In case of breaking or discoloration of the frontal teeth porcelain shell can be made. This means that 0.5-1 mm tooth substance will be removed from the frontal surface of the teeth and after taking an impression of the tooth on the next treatment the prepared and esthetically suitable prosthesis will be cemented.
Implant
Losing our teeth can cause not only physical but psychical problems too. We don’t dare to smile , we have bad mood and we can’t do our job properly. Implants in contrast to traditional dentistry give You a chance to have fixed prosthesis even if there are no possibilities for it with other methods. Implanting artificial root belongs to modern prosthetic dentistry. It is made of titanium which the body can accept easily without any allergic reaction. Implants can fulfill their chewing and esthetical function lifelong. The process of implantation: There is a thorough examination before the operations. The specialist checks the possibility of implantation on a free consultation and with the help of an X-ray, made in advance, he/she plans the future prothesis together with the patient. A laboratory findings can be necessary too. The operations can be made just in case of proper oral hygenie, so it is very important to follow the preparational advice of the specialist. The operation is made by local anesthesia in an ambulant way. The implanted artificial root is closed by stiches, which will be removed in a week. The healing part usually takes about 3 weeks. During this time bone cells enter into the pores of the artificial root, which guarantes a stable and strong fixing. After a control x-ray a buit-up is screwed into, which will hold the future prothesis. After the usual impression take and dental works we give our patients a beautiful smile. What advantages do such prothesis have? If we have just one or two teeth missing, we can leave the nearby teeth intact. With the help of the implant there is no need to polish/rub a tooth and even the original chewing and esthetical function can be replaced. When missing tooth at the ends, you can have just removable prothesis with the traditional dentistry. By implanting artificial root fixed units can be made in order that our patient could have a healthy lifestyle. When there is complete toothlessness , according to the thickness of the bone we can implant fixed circle-units or posts which increase the stability of the removable prothesis. In both cases you can have a much better sense of comfort and chewing function.
Child and adult orthodontics
Who wouldn’t like to have a confident and pleasing smile? Nowadays it is very important for making a self-confident impression to have a regular well-cared set of teeth. A lot of people don’t want to smile because of their irregular set of teeth. It can be not only the young generation’s but also the older generation’s problem. To find a solution for this problem we have made our treatments to fulfill every esthetical need, which , besides orthodontia, make other additional treatments also possible for the regular and beautiful set of teeth. Orthodontia is one of the best method to correct the position of your teeth. In western countries wearing fixed braces shows careness and neatness. This kind of dental treatment is getting more and more popular in Hungary, too. Don’t have any doubts! Go for it if You are not satisfied with Your smile. We list one-two kinds of appliances without completeness to help. According to the most simple classification there are two kinds of appliances: 1. Removable braces As their name suggest, they are good for nightly use, and they contain different expanding screws and springs depending on the deformation. With the help of these teeth can be moved. Their use is usually recommended till the age of 12, but there are exceptions of course. The efficiency of the removable braces depends largely on the fact that how long and how often the patient wears it. 2. Fixed braces The main parts of these braces are the ‘locks’ or ‘brecketts’, which are fixed to the teeth with a special glue. The material of the brecketts can be metal, plastic or porcelain. The brecketts are connected to each other by spans , which are fixed by o-rings to the brecketts. A more precise and finer tooth movement can be made by the fixed braces. The process of orthodontia is easy to understand with the help of the next video.
Treatment of pyorrhea
Nowadays pyorrhea belongs to common diseases. We find it important to reveal the reasons then we use a preserving, medicinal, magnetic treatment or surgical operation. The initial symtomps of paradentitis can be bleeding of the gums or pain in the gums, which can occur during toothbrushing or when using dental floss. If there is gingivitis for a long time, you can have pain, increased bleeding, bad breath or even moving teeth as well. In such cases You should go to see Your dentist as soon as possible to stop this process and to have healthy teeth again.
Consultation with a specialist
Before each dental treatment we will check the condition of our patients’ teeth, make a treatment plan , if neccessary we record the current situation (by impression or photo) and we will make a cancer check in the oral cavity every time. We will quote a price for the proposed treatments in writing and we will discuss the process of teeth reparation.
Source test – consultation, mouth examination, panorama x-ray
This examination is made with the help of x-ray. We explore if the dental disease can cause other organic disorder. Unfortunately, it can happen very often. The inflamed diseases latent in the oral cavity and the jaw bones can cause problems in other organs ,too. If there are unexplainable symptoms a possible dental source should be thought of. If You have such symptoms, consult our doctors trustfully. We will explore and solve Your problems!
Tooth scaling by ultrasound
The dental deposit (scale) is created from dissolved minerals in the saliva and from dental plaque left on the teeth. Tooth scaling is very important in order to prevent gingivitis, because if this inflammation lasts for a longer period of time it can cause destruction of the bones. We make ultrasonic tooth scaling before every dental treatment for the proper oral hygiene and for the positive result of the treatment. This treatment can remove even the ’invisible’ scale under the gums, then we clean the more difficultlly accessible parts with a manual machine. Finally, a thorough polishing makes Your set of teeth smooth and shiny. Tooth scaling is recommended for every patient every half a year. By this we can keep gums and teeth properly clean and we can also increase the lifetime of Your teeth and prothesis.
Oral hygienic consultation (instruction, motivation)
We find it very important to inform our patients about the possibilities to keep a proper oral hygiene and to prevent later diseases. This usually means practical and theoretical instructions , teachings privately or in a team. Prevention is not only important for children but also for young adults. You can save a lot of treatments , fillings or extractions if you have your teeth checked regularly, and if you keep the preventive advice. It can help a lot if the newly appeared permanent teeth are closed by fissure to prevent decay. When our adult patients visit our surgery for the annual check-up, they should bring their children in order that we can help the small ones with playful experiences and useful advice for their healthy development.

Filling
In our surgery in most of the cases we use white pleasing fillings to fill the decayed teeth. Nowadays the materials of the fillings have improved in an amazing way so we can make nice and high standard fillings with these pleasing, well fixing and very enduring filling materials. In case of metal allergy, which happens more and more often, we remove the amalgam filling and replace it with ’invisible’ filling. This way we not only fulfill the aesthetical needs but we also provide a metal free and a more healthy enviroment in the oral cavity.
Root canal treatment
We are all afraid of this operation , because there is a misconception that root canal treatment is always painful. Of course, this is not true, moreover in some cases we don’t feel anything even without narcotization. During root canal treatment we remove the decayed part of the tooth by a drill, then with root canal needles we remove the pulpa from the inside of the tooth and clean the root canals. In most cases we can close the canals immediately, but in special cases we have to leave the tooth open in order that the inflammation in the bone could heal better. After some days we put medicinal filling in the canals and later we fill them completely. The main purpose of this treatment is to save the teeth, because in case of extraction we should make prothesis , which would mean not only plus cost but also in some cases sacrificing healthy teeth.
