Our clinic performs teeth whitening procedure in the dentist cabinet by using Phillips Zoom teeth whitening system. We also provide teeth whitening at home service by using molds as well as endodontic single tooth whitening. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure when changed teeth enamel color is whitened using special products. The color of teeth enamel changes for different reasons. The strongest impact on the color of a smile have colorific products (such as coffee, tea, red wine, coca cola, tobacco), in rare cases – inheritance, different traumas, infections and antibiotics (tetracycline), also excess of fluorides. Teeth whitening. When this procedure cannot be performed? Teeth cannot be whitened when enamel is worn or when having gum inflammation or periodontitis. This procedure is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding women and for children and teenagers up to 18 years old. It is worth to know that sealants and crowns cannot be whitened, so after whitening procedure they should be changed or corrected. If you decided to whiten your teeth, you should consult with a qualified dentist. He or she will examine your teeth and will evaluate whether you can have teeth whitening procedure, answers to all your questions and will find out the most appropriate whitening method for you. Teeth whitening at home Following patients’ teeth impressions, individual molds are manufactured. Whitening molds are transparent splints which exactly match the form of a patient teeth. Whitening gel is injected into the mold and injected mold is put on teeth for the night or a shorter period of time (it depends on whitening material concentration). During whitening only teeth color changes, tooth structure remains unchanged. Endodontic single tooth whitening It is whitening procedure of endodontically treated teeth (“dead teeth). If the tooth color has changed after a canal treatment, such tooth can be whitened by using gel, which is injected into tooth cavity and tooth is sealed with temporary sealant. Whitening process lasts from 2 to 4 days. If tooth color is not white enough, the procedure can be repeated. How long teeth remain white after whitening procedure? Teeth can remain white about a year, if you properly care of your oral hygiene. Every few years the whitening procedure may be repeated, if you often consume products with dyeing materials (tobacco, red wine, coffee, etc.).

Threaded dental implant is like a small thread which replaces a root of a missing tooth. Implant is threaded into a jaw. In 3 – 6 months after the threading implant grows into the bone and is used as a support to fix tooth crown. Implants can replace one or more missing teeth. Plane or bridge also can be attached to the implant. Successfully healed and properly cared implant does not cause any inconvenience when chewing food or talking. It allows you to forget pervious problems and will serve as a natural tooth for many years. More information about implant dentistry you can find on our website WWW.DANTU-IMPLANTAI.COM

Oral hygiene is a very important aspect of our health. You need professional oral hygiene if you regularly complain of having bad breath, your teeth are moving or if your gum is bleeding and you have a lot of plaque that is difficult to remove. Professional hygiene is also recommended before dental treatment: prosthesis, endodontic, orthodontic treatment, sealing, teeth whitening, oral surgery, implant dentistry and so on. Professional oral hygiene procedure is a mechanical way to remove bacterial plaque and tartar, including toxins accumulated on the surfaces of teeth. These procedures are performed by dentist or dental hygienist. Our clinic uses the following methods for professional hygiene procedures: manual instruments (curettes); ultrasonic scaler; “Air Flow” apparatus; polishing paste. Manual instruments (curettes) is special sharp and thin instruments, which are used by dentist or dental hygienist to remove plaque and tartar from tooth surface. Ultrasonic scaler is a special device which produces high frequency oscillations which help to clean teeth surfaces effectively – it removes soft and hard teeth plaque and plaque above the gum. Ultrasonic scaler “Air–flow” is one of the newest method to remove dental plaque. It is an excellent and unpainful way to remove nicotine, coffee and tea plaque and to whiten your teeth. Strong flow of air, water and medical soda powder directed perpendicular to the tooth surface quickly and without pain removes accumulated plaque. This method is special, because the tooth surface is cleaned at a distance, so hard tooth tissues and gum remains undamaged. After the procedure with “Air Flow” you’ll be surprised by your naturally bright smile, comfort and tidiness in your mouth. “Air Flow” apparatus Teeth polishing with pasta is a procedure that finishes professional oral hygiene overall procedure. Poor aesthetical look and soft plaque are the main reasons to use polishing. It is absolutely unpainful procedure. Positive polishing aspects: Provides teeth beautiful aesthetic look. Pleasant feeling of slippery teeth in your mouth. Polishes tooth surface, so less plaque accumulates and to clean teeth with toothbrush is easier. Increases orthodontic procedure effectiveness. After professional oral hygiene procedures, you will enjoy comfort and tidiness feeling in your mouth. You will be personally recommended what oral hygiene products to use (toothpaste, mouthwash and so on). This professional oral hygiene procedure is performed during one or more visits. This procedure must be performed at least two times a year and you will protect yourself from severe diseases. Remember that: Oral hygiene is a daily oral care performed by every person by using personal hygiene products. It is very important to teach children about oral hygiene, to develop their habits and skills related to it. Early children teaching how to clean teeth properly is very important, because the formation of deciduous teeth has impact on permanent teeth condition. Regular teeth checking also influences long-lasting good oral condition. To use only mechanical plaque removing products sometimes is insufficient, you also need effective chemical substances that reduces plaque. They are in toothpastes, mouthwashes, interdental floss. These products contain chemical substances that gradually release and create stable environment. You should use a wide variate of chemical antimicrobial substances, but at the same time you should prevent yourself from damaging mouth ecosystem balance in order to protect normal flora, so these substances should be without toxins and do not have side effects.

Aesthetical sealing is a minimally invasive method, which is used to restore fractured teeth and teeth affected by caries, also if a patient wants to correct his or her teeth form, to full interdental spaces or to change old, discolored sealant which stands out from natural tooth tissue color. By aesthetic sealing tooth is restored layer by layer by retaining natural tooth anatomy as more as possible. In such a way natural tooth look is restored: its color, transparency, form, individual tooth features. Furthermore, by using this method natural tooth tissues are protected. Professional aesthetically sealed teeth care After 6 – 12 months after the procedure it is recommended to perform professional oral hygiene procedure. It is very important to properly care of teeth and gum. You should follow ordinary hygiene rules: to use soft toothbrush, toothpaste without abrasive substances and clean interdental spaces (with floss or interdental brush).

Surgeons in our clinics perform the following procedures: abscess incision tooth pulling; unerupted tooth pulling (retinite, wisdom teeth); hemisection; root apex resection; mucosal tissue around the wisdom teeth cutting and bandaging; surgical clinical tooth crown extension; bone augmentation (extension) procedures; jaws bony growths removal; odontogenic cyst of the jaws removal; benign oral soft tissue structures removal; implant dentistry. In “Evadenta” clinic oral surgeries are performed by oral surgeons L. Ketvirtis and M. Ablingis.  

Endodontics is an area which specializes in tooth root canal treatment. The purpose of endodontic treatment is to destroy all microorganisms in root canals system and to protect the tooth and the surrounding tissues from infection. Endodontic treatment is necessary when pulp in a root canal (pulp is a part of the tooth, the small tangle inside the tooth made from vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels) has an inflammation or infection. Infection or inflammation occurs for various reasons: due to untreated decay, tooth fractures and on the top of dental restorations (sealants). Trauma of the tooth may undermine pulp even if a tooth externally looks healthy and without fractures. If pulp is damaged and untreated, it can cause tooth pain and fasten abscess formation. After endodontic treatment the natural tooth is preserved and chewing function is restored. More information about root canal treatment you can find on our website.

Prosthesis goal is to restore chewing function and aesthetic look. Usually dental prosthesis is required when tooth crown is affected by caries, teeth are sealed with large sealants or when teeth are worn or they are lost. Over clinic performs dental prosthesis with all kind of prosthesis: Micro-prosthesis (inlays, onlays). One tooth prosthesis attached to the crown (metal ceramic, metal-free ceramics, zirconium oxide ceramics crowns). When one or more teeth are missing, bridges are fixed. In a case of severe teeth defects, plates or arc supporting prosthesis (removable) are fixed. We also attach prosthesis to implants. FIXED DENTAL PROSTHESIS Fixed dental prosthesis are firmly fixed to teeth and there is no need to remove them. Fixed prostheses are crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays. In our clinic we offer prostheses of metal ceramics, metal-free ceramics and zirconium oxide as well as porcelain inlays and onlays. Metal ceramics Metal ceramics prosthesis basis is made of metal which is covered with ceramic layer matching your teeth color. These prostheses look aesthetically and are quite strong, but have one disadvantage: metal inside the crown prevents the light from penetrating, therefore dental prosthesis looks a bit unnaturally compering with metal-free ceramics crown. Besides, around the metal ceramics crown in a long distance may occur a dark streak above the gum. Single tooth or a row of defected teeth may be applied with prosthesis of metal ceramics. Metal ceramics Metal-free ceramics Metal-free ceramics prostheses are made of ceramics without any metal. Such prostheses absorb light, so they look naturally and aesthetically, therefore they are recommended for front teeth prosthesis. Metal-free ceramics prostheses are used only to restore individual defected front teeth. Metal-free ceramics Zirconium oxide ceramics Zirconium ceramics prostheses look very aesthetically and are very strong. Their base is zirconium oxide frame which is light, firm and has natural tooth color, therefore such prostheses look very natural. Zirconium ceramics prostheses are stronger than the ones made of metal-free ceramics and instead of dark metal frame is used zirconium oxide firm white frame. Is such a way aesthetic look and firm crown construction is guaranteed. It is used to restore defected lateral, front, individual teeth as well as many teeth. Zirconium oxide ceramics prosthesis Dental inlays and onlays If tooth crown is severely damaged and sealing is not an effective solution, we offer the missing part of the tooth to restore with porcelain inlay or onlay. In each case the color is chosen individually. Besides, in such a way a patient avoids polishing procedure or fixing a new crown. It is really a great solution that allows patient to save money and time. Inlays and onlays ensures long-lasting and aesthetic restoration. Tooth onlay PROSTHESIS ATTACHED TO IMPLANT Dental implants perform teeth roots function. Threaded implant heals about 3 – 6 months and after the healing period prosthesis process is started. Prosthesis support is attached to implant and dental prosthesis is started to be made. Our clinic uses the following prosthesis and implants: Metal ceramics crowns and bridges; Metal-free ceramics bridges; Zirconium oxide ceramics crown; Removable prosthesis (dental plates). In the left you can see prosthesis support, in the right – metal ceramics crown. Lateral morals attached to metal ceramics crowns fixed to implant All lower jaw teeth attached to implants
