When you meet our dentist for a personal consultation, you will be advised about the length of the necessary treatment and the number of visits required.

If you need a crown or bridgeworks it takes approximately a week to install or you can visit us twice for a couple of days.

Implants require an initial 5-7-day stay and a 6-day revisit in 4-6 month's time. In all cases before your treatment starts our doctors will examine your dental condition thoroughly and give you a detailed treatment plan.

Veneers usually require an approx. 7-day stay or visiting us twice for 1 or 2 days.

For other treatments, please contact us for more details.

 

The costs of the dental treatments you will pay directly to the clinic. For accommodation payments are made at your hotel.

 

In case of a failure of the laboratory works our clinic covers all necessary dental and laboratory costs to rectify the problem. In case of small adjustments and repairs, a dentist will see you in our surgery. In the unlikely case that you require more extensive work, Solydent will carry out the remedial work at the clinic in Győr. The costs of the journey and the accommodation have to be paid by you.

 

Each dentist carries liability insurance that is compulsory for joining the Hungarian Chamber of Dentists.

Tooth whitening refers to a number of techniques including chemical whitening and mild acid whitening that are used to correct discoloration of the teeth by removing brown and yellow staining. To whiten stained or discoloured teeth, our dentists use one of the many special types of bleaching that have been developed for this purpose, varying the strength of the bleaching agent according to the condition and sensitivity of the teeth. First of all your dentist will examine your teeth and gums since it is important to ensure the healthy condition of the oral cavity. Old fillings may need changing; carious teeth will be filled and treated.

 

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, which are bonded to the front of teeth. This procedure requires little or no anaesthesia, and can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth. Porcelain veneers are placed to mask discolorations, to brighten teeth, and to improve a smile.

 

Trimming: the enamel on the front side of the tooth is trimmed back. Usually the dentist's goal is to trim the tooth about the same amount as the thickness of the veneer that will ultimately be bonded into place. This way the net size of the tooth will not be dramatically changed.

Impression: Once the proper amount of enamel has been trimmed, your dentist will need to make a copy of your tooth. From this copy it will be that your porcelain veneer will be fabricated.

Temporary Veneers: your dentist can create a temporary veneer for you to wear during the time period while the dental laboratory is creating your porcelain veneer.

Bonding: Once you and your dentist have determined that the shape and shade of your veneer is appropriate it can be bonded into place.

 

First the porcelain veneer will be cleaned and prepared for cementation. Your tooth will also be cleaned, usually by polishing it. The enamel surface of your tooth will be etched with a mild etching gel. This etching, on a microscopic level, roughens the surface of the tooth, just like glass that has been etched has a "frosted" texture. This enamel roughness aids in the cement's ability to form a tenacious bond with the tooth, and it is a hallmark of dental bonding technique. Cement will now be placed into the veneer and the veneer will then in turn be placed on your tooth. Your dentist will ensure that the veneer is in its proper place and then cure the cement, usually by shining a special light. This light (which is often blue) passes through the translucent veneer to the cement which lies underneath. The light activates a catalyst in the cement, causing it to cure in just a few moments.

At this point, the porcelain veneer is securely bonded into place. There will probably be at least some excess cement present at the edges of the veneer that your dentist will need to trim off and polish down. You and your dentist will also need to evaluate the veneer's precise contours and trim or reshape them as you feel is best. Your dentist will also spend time evaluating your bite and making sure that the veneer is adjusted appropriately for it.

 

Practice oral care, brush and floss your teeth 3 times a day.

Avoid exposing your veneers to excessive forces.

Avoid clenching and grinding your teeth.

Minimize staining influences (tea, coffee, red wine).

 

 

A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped. Implants are usually made of titanium, a metal that is well-tolerated by the body. Over time, the jawbone becomes firmly united with the implant. A small attachment at the top of the implant emerges through the gum. Crowns, bridges or dentures can then be attached to the implant by screws or clips.

 

- Implants are an alternative to conventional bridges and partial dentures.

- If you find that your full dentures move around a lot, implants will help to anchor the denture in place.

- When teeth are lost, the jawbone may start to shrink. Implants can help slow this process down.

- Your dentist may recommend using implants to support a bridge rather than cut into healthy teeth either side of a gap.

 

Replacing missing teeth is essential to your overall dental hygiene, as a gap leaves the remaining teeth unsupported. If left unsupported, the remaining teeth may drift along the jaw line, reducing the spaces between them; they may become weaker, making brushing and flossing more difficult. Missing teeth can jeopardize the integrity of the jaw line and change the shape of your face. Missing teeth can make you look older and less healthy.

 

There are several implantation systems that our doctors use.

- Ankylos System (German)

- Branemark System (Swedish)

 

While increasingly popular, implants are not appropriate for everyone. You need to be medically fit and have healthy gums and a sufficient thickness of jawbone. Your dentist will assess the amount of bone still there.

If there is not enough, or if it isn't healthy enough, it may not be possible to place implants without grafting bone into the area first.

 

Bone augmentation is a term that is used to describe a variety of procedures that are used to "build" bone so that dental implants can be placed. These procedures typically involve grafting (adding) bone or bonelike materials to the jaw, and waiting for the grafted material to fuse with the existing bone over several months.

 

After a bone-augmentation procedure, dentists usually wait 6-12 months before placing implants, although some dentists may place them sooner.

Sinus augmentation - In the upper jaw above the back teeth, it is possible to increase the height of bone available by creating new bone in the sinus. This procedure is called a ‘sinus augmentation'. A skilled surgeon can deliver very predictable results in this location and without the general success of this technique many patients would be unable to have implants in a part of the mouth where teeth are so commonly missing.

 

From the time of implant placement to the time of placing the first teeth, treatment times can vary between 2 weeks and 6 months. Your dentist will be able to give you a personalized timetable before the treatment begins.

 

The dentist will expose the bone in the jaw where the tooth is missing. Then he will drill a hole and insert a metal post into the bone. A temporary healing abutment is often placed on the implant to allow the gum tissues to heal and the maintenance of the emergence profile space to allow for proper contouring of the final restoration. This is usually done under a local anaesthetic, but sometimes sedation or a general anaesthetic is used at extra cost. The gum is then stitched over the post and it is left to heal while the bone grows around the post, making it secure. The surgery lasts about an hour.

 

A few days later a special laser treatment can be used which aids in the healing process and the stitches are removed. If you prefer, you could theoretically leave the day after the operation and have the stitches removed by your own GP or local dentist but our dentists prefer to complete the work themselves.

 

In certain cases, implants can be loaded immediately after tooth extraction. If you have your tooth or teeth extracted at home, there is a 8-10 week waiting period before implant surgery can begin.

 

During second procedure in which replacement teeth are mounted onto the metal post. This requires a small cut in the gum above the implant. The replacement teeth might be single or in a group, and possibly as a 'bridge', attached to neighbouring natural teeth. They may be fixed permanently or attached in a way that lets you remove them for cleaning. Again this intervention lasts about an hour.

 

Between operations you will not be left toothless but will be fitted with temporary teeth.

 

If you have no teeth in the lower jaw, and are not yet ready for multiple implant placements, a conventional lower denture can be considerably improved with two implants placed beneath the front section - this is called an ‘overdenture' or retained denture. The same overdenture concept when used to treat the upper jaw, will usually require more implants as the bone is generally softer. Implant-supported overdentures, just like conventional dentures are still removed for daily cleaning, however, once back in the mouth, the implants make them much more stable.

 

Following surgery, there will probably be bleeding, controlled by biting down on some gauze. Swelling may be controlled using an ice pack. Gums are generally sore after both surgeries for 7-10 days. You might be given antibiotics or painkillers to take during the period immediately following surgery. You will be able to drink but eating might be difficult for 24 hours after the implantation.

 

To help maintain your implants you need to thoroughly brush and floss regularly. Your dentist will give you specific advice on caring for your implants. He or she will ask you to attend regular check-ups, and will usually take X-rays each year to monitor them.

 

In general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 97%. With proper care, implants can last approximately 15 years. Just as you would expect conventional crowns, bridges and fillings to need occasional repairs or replacements during their lifetime, your implant-supported teeth may also have similar maintenance requirements over theirs. Implant surgery is a safe procedure; however, as all surgeries it carries an element of risk. Before deciding whether or not to have implants, you need to be aware of the possible side-effects and the risk of complications. Our specialists will advise you so you can make an informed decision.

 

Side-effects are the unwanted but mostly temporary effects of a successful procedure. Examples of side-effects include feeling sick as a result of the anaesthesia or sedation and some swelling and discomfort around the implant area.

 

Complications are problems that can occur during or after the procedure. Most people are not affected. The complications of any surgical procedure can include excessive bleeding, an unexpected reaction to the anaesthetic or infection. It is likely that you will be prescribed antibiotics and an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce the risk of your implant becoming infected.

 

Your lower jaw contains nerves, which supply feeling to your tongue, skin, lower lip and lower teeth. In a small percentage of cases during implant surgery in the lower jaw the nerves may be bruised and may cause a tingling or numb feeling in your tongue, chin or lip. The chance of complications depends on the exact type of procedure you are having and other factors such as your general health condition.

 

Implants may not be an option for smokers or people with chronic conditions such as poorly-controlled diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer. This is because the implants are more likely to fail due to problems with the healing process.

 

 

Professional cleaning includes scaling and polishing. Scaling is a common non-surgical treatment for removal of infected deposits - tartar or calculus - from the tooth surface. These deposits if not removed lead to periodontal diseases. In periodontal disease, the pocket between the tooth and gum begins to deepen. This provides a perfect environment for anaerobic bacteria to grow. If the bacteria begin to multiply rapidly and infect more of the gum and start dissolving the bone supporting the tooth. This leads the gradual loss of the teeth. The treatment now becomes more extensive and complicated in order to save the tooth. Surgery of the gums is required in order to make the tissues around the tooth healthy.

 

Scaling involves a deep cleaning of the tooth above and below the gum line in order to remove any plaque and calculus that has accumulated on the tooth. This involves the use of special instruments and/or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth. Commonly an ultrasonic machine is used. It has a fine tip which vibrates at ultrasonic frequency and which dislodges tartar and plaque from the tooth surface. As the vibrations are extremely fine the process does not damage the tooth surface in any way. Many dentists recommend having the teeth professionally cleaned at least every 6 to 12 months.

 

 

White fillings, also called composite fillings, are made from tooth-coloured materials that restore the natural appearance of a decayed or previously filled tooth. When appearance is important to you, you may want tooth coloured fillings for your cavities or for repairing stained, chipped or irregular teeth. Because they match the colour of your natural teeth, tooth coloured fillings are inconspicuous, and thus the fillings of choice for people who value a beautiful smile. Tooth coloured fillings are used most commonly in the front teeth and in the molars.

 

Tooth coloured fillings, unlike silver fillings, are bonded onto your teeth. If you already have silver fillings but wish that they would look more natural, you can replace them with tooth coloured fillings. Tooth coloured fillings, unlike silver fillings, allow you to eat as soon as the anaesthesia wears off.

 

 

Inlays are similar to fillings. However, like crowns, they are made in a laboratory and then glued to the tooth with special adhesive. This process requires minimum two visits to the dentist.

 

During the first visit, the dentist removes the old filling or decay and makes a mould of the tooth in a putty-like material. A temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth while the laboratory uses the mould to make the inlay or onlay. On the second visit, the temporary filling is removed and the inlay or onlay glued in place. Inlays are very strong and, in some circumstances, may be more durable than ordinary fillings. They are suitable for the grinding surfaces of the molar teeth and can be made out of gold, porcelain or composite material.

 

 

Root canal treatment involves the removal of the nerve from the tooth by drilling a hole in the top surface of the tooth. The inside is cleaned out with disinfectants and needle-like instruments. The root canal is then dried and a rubber filling placed down the inside of the tooth.

 

The mention of "root canal" evokes images of severe pain. In truth, however, root canal treatment is maligned unfairly. Advances in technology, and the experience of our professional staff have made root canal treatment far less painful than its reputation suggests. Ironically, root canal is designed to minimize the pain from an infected tooth; it does not produce the pain.

 

Root canal treatment becomes necessary when the pulp inside your tooth gets infected. The pulp is the soft tissue inside your tooth, home of connective tissues, blood vessels and nerves. The pulp goes from the crown of your tooth to the tip of the root in your jawbone. Normally, the tooth itself protects the pulp, but if the tooth is damaged by a very deep cavity, or a crack, or trauma from repeated repairs, bacteria can reach the pulp. Then the bacteria grow from the crown towards the root, pus accumulates at the root tips, and the mouth becomes painful and sensitive to hot and cold. Not all pulp infections bring pain; sometimes they spread so slowly that the patient feels nothing.

 

Root canal treatment occurs in three stages: First comes the diagnosis. Next comes the root canal itself, in which a dentist or an endodentist (a dentist who specializes in treating the inside of the tooth) removes the pulp (and thereby also the infection), and cleans the inside of the tooth preparatory to filling it, sometimes applying antibiotics to prevent further infection. A temporary filling is placed at the crown opening. Finally, during a subsequent appointment, a crown is installed to seal the tooth and protect it from further damage or infection.

 

With successful root canal treatment, the tooth will no longer cause pain. However, because it does not contain an internal nerve, it no longer has sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweetness. These are signs of dental decay, so the patient must receive regular dental check-ups with periodic x-rays to avoid further disease in the tooth. Excellent oral hygiene after your root canal can help ensure success and prevent reinfection. Keeping your original teeth should always be your main objective. Without treatment, you may eventually lose the tooth, and require a bridge or other costly restoration.

 

 

Root resection refers to an endodontic surgical procedure to remove an untreatable, fractured, or dissolving root while retaining the original tooth's structure. Root resection and other endodontic surgical procedures are done in instances where conventional endodontic (root canal) treatment is not sufficient in saving the affected tooth.

 

In the root resection procedure, the gum and tooth are anaesthetized. An incision is made in the gums and the untreatable, infected tissue is removed at the tip of the root. A small filling is then placed in the root tip and the gums are stitched back to its original position.

 

Post-surgery discomfort is usually managed easily with over-the-counter medications. If discomfort is severe, stronger analgesics may be prescribed. Some patients experience sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures from exposed roots; these problems can be managed with topical fluoride treatments or, in severe cases, with dental restoration.

 

 

What is a post/core?

A post is a metallic structure that is placed within the body of the root of a tooth that has had previous root canal therapy. The part of the post that shows is called the core. It is upon this core that can anchor a cap or crown. In fabricating your post, the dentist removes some of this plastic material making sure to leave the last two to three millimetres to seal the end of the root. There are different types of posts. The post can either be prefabricated or it can be cast at the dental laboratory.

 

 

If a tooth has been broken, or weakened by a lot of decay or a large filling, a crown (or cap) can be fitted. Your dentist will match the artificial crown up to the shape - and, in the case of porcelain crowns, colour - of your other teeth so it will look natural. The crown will last for many years, depending on the health of the tooth underneath. A temporary crown made of plastic or metal is put over the tooth until the permanent crown is prepared.

 

A bridge consists of more crowns which are permanently fixed to healthy supporting teeth. It is used to replace missing teeth, restoring appearance and function. A bridge can be made from either porcelain, metal or both. When preparing a conventional bridge, the dentist needs to shape the teeth either side of the gap so that they will successfully hold the bridge.

 

The process of fitting crowns and bridges requires two visits to the dentist and an approximate 7- day stay or visiting twice for 1 or 2 days.

 

Your dentist may take X-rays to assess the health of your mouth.
Crowns: the tooth receiving the crown is filed down.

Bridges: The supporting teeth are trimmed. Preparation involves recontouring these teeth by removing a portion of enamel to allow room for a crown to be placed over them. A shade guide may be used to select the correct colour of porcelain. Impressions are taken of the prepared teeth and the teeth of the opposite jaw. A temporary bridge or crown may be cemented to protect the prepared teeth between visits (avoid hard or sticky food and keep the temporary bridge or crown clean).

 

The temporary bridge or crown is removed. The permanent crown or bridge is checked for colour and fit. If you and your dentist are happy with your crown or bridge, it is permanently fixed in place with cement.

 

While a crowned tooth does not require any special care, you should continue to follow good oral hygiene practices, including brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing once a day - especially around the crown area where the gum meets the tooth.

Bridges are cemented in place, so they cannot be removed for cleaning. To keep the teeth healthy, the gap under a bridge must be cleaned daily using special dental floss - an ordinary toothbrush will not do the job.

Your dentist will demonstrate how to use floss under your bridge.

 

Our dentists work with permanent crowns and bridges of porcelain fused to metal or porcelain fused to gold, and also offer metal-free crowns and bridges using eg. the Cercon and Procera systems.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns and bridges can be colour matched to your adjacent teeth. However, more wearing to the opposing teeth occurs with this crown type compared with metal or resin crowns. The porcelain portion can also chip or break off. Next to all-ceramic crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and bridges look most like normal teeth. However, sometimes the metal underlying the crown's porcelain can show through. All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns and bridges provide the best natural colour match than any other type and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies. However, they are not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and bridges and they wear down opposing teeth a little more than metal or resin crowns. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth. All-ceramic crowns and bridges of up to four units can be made in the incisal and molar regions. In individual cases, depending on the gap of the bridged teeth, even bridges of up to six units are possible.

Cercon System is a high-tech ceramic, Zirconium Oxide, can now be used in dentistry. A wax form or model of your “new teeth” is created in the dental laboratory, to the precise specifications provided by your dentist. This wax form serves as the pattern from which a computer-aided milling unit creates your crown or bridge from a solid zirconium oxide blank. A ceramic veneer in your individual tooth colours is then applied to the milled zirconium oxide unit to achieve the desired characteristics and natural looking appearance. In the extensive literature available on zirconium oxide, no individual cases of allergic reaction have been reported to date.
