The biggest enemy of teeth is inflammation, because the bacteria and pathogens causing the inflammation may reach the internal structure of the tooth, not only causing pain, but also resulting in the possible loss of the tooth (or the neighbouring ones).

If the inflammation is so serious that the tooth cannot be treated by root canal treatment and/or anti-inflammatory drugs, then its removal is unfortunately inevitable.

Moreover, the inflammation may loosen the bone structure, so that the jawbone is unable to retain the teeth like it did before it became infected. If the relationship between the bone and teeth weakens, the teeth will lose their biting capability and fall out on their own.

Inflammation can also cause many other diseases such as chronic sinusitis, but patients often experience constant shoulder pain and allergic issues

One of the most difficult parts of the extraction is the removal of infected root(s). The first step of the extraction is taking an X-ray of the tooth and examining the number and position of its roots. This is somewhat easier with the front teeth, as only one root can be found there, whereas molars have 2-4 roots.

The second step is the extraction itself. It is vital to remove pathogens at the same time as the tooth and root, to prevent them from causing further inflammation in the bone and the surrounding gum tissues.

Aftercare is important, so our dentists always inform their patients about what they need to take care of.

Bacteria can create small hole in your tooth often causing tooth pain or sensitivity. This small hole or cavity can be closed down with tooth filling. There are different types of fillings like composite, (tooth coloured or white filling), temporary filling, root canal filling and amalgam filling. Dentist always perform the most suitable one considering the type of cavity you have.

Dental X-ray is used to prove the presence of cavity. During tooth filling process local anaesthetic is applied. Once the affected area is completely numbed the decayed parts of the tooth are removed with drills and special instruments and a hole is also disinfected.

To avoid sensitivity after the treatment, very thin layers of resin are placed inside the hole. Then the tooth coloured, resin material is packed in and a blue light is used to make it set within a few seconds.

It’s very simple. As the decay doesn’t disappear without receiving filling treatment it goes further down inside the tooth. When it reaches the pulp, we start feeling sensitivity or even intense tooth pain and if the tooth not treated on time the infection can spread further in the root canal which might result in the loss of a tooth or additional root canal treatment.

Avoid costly and complicated tooth loss or additional treatment book an appointment with one of our dentists.

The cost of tooth fillings is various and depends on the chair time of the treatment and the type and amount of material your dentist needs to restore your teeth. For example, a temporary filling costs less than a white filling as it requires significantly less treatment time and material. In case of white, composite filling we differentiate small, medium and large filling and its’ prices vary accordingly.

Despite amalgam filling costs relative less and are still widely used for filling cavities it is proved that they can negatively affect your overall health.

Amalgam fillings consists of silver, mercury and tin which can cause brain damage, cancer, and can constantly weaken the immune system and many others. They also need much more tooth preparation and can’t eliminate tooth decay completely not to mention the bulky and black appearance which is cosmetically not appealing.

Our dentists use only white, tooth coloured filling that blend right in with your teeth. They are made of porcelain, composite resins, or other high-tech materials which don’t harm your health and environment. They typically require less removal of tooth’ structure and perfectly seal off cavities ensuring you an indistinguishable appearance from your natural teeth.
