A harmonious and beatuiful smile is an ornament of the face, it is a nice sign towards other people, which transmits that this person is extrovert, neat, and it is a message of internal beauty. Shape, colour, size and position of teeth is of decisive importance in creating this harmony.
In many cases in consequence of innate features, injuries, or unsuccessful dental restorations, harmony of face and frontal teeth is not ideal, and well-balanced. First we design shape, position and colour of the teeth, together with the patient and the dental technician, then we build models in the mouth and form the final outline. If our patient likes this, we consider it when finishing the definitive dental restorations.
„Invisible” restorations can be made by using the most modern aesthetic filling materials, which have several shades. Layer structure of the tissues of the tooth can be restored both functionally and optically with the help of different layering technics. Since these materials are very sensitive to humidity (vapour content of expirated air can influence, or damage glueing and material qualities of filling materials too), we strive for complete isolation in every case. With the help of a rubber dams (cofferdam) we can treat the tooth to be treated in absolutely wet and saliva free conditions.
Amalgam fillings are removed by this way too, and so swallowing of fillings and inhalation of mercury vapour , which is liberated in such cases, can be prevented.
A lot of our patients ask if it is possible to have a hollywood style, snow-white smile, what they can see in movies or series. The answer is not simple. Teeth whitening, although many people do not know, is not a harmless thing. Overdone, or not professional treatment can be the source of unpleasant, long lasting and intense sensitivity of the neck of the tooth, or the gums can get burnt, or it can cause smaller or bigger painful injuries on the epidermis. Besides, the desired colour effect often does not happen.
Before a lasting teeth whitening without side effects, you should undergo a thorough dental, and mouth hygienic examination. After this, it is often necessary.
– to remove dental plaque, fur, or other deposit and polish,
– an aesthetic treatment of the carious teeth,
– to change old, discoloured fillings,
– X-ray control of root canalled teeth, and if necessary, revision of root canal filling.
In the majority of cases, having done the above mentioned treatments, using a well-selected coloured filling material, a much brighter shaded smile can be reached than the original colour. If patient is not yet satisfied with the look, and would like to continue teeth whitening, then can come a treatment customized by the dentist, which suits the patient’s demands.
It is carried out by a dentist, or a dental hygienist assistant at the office. Reagent is more concentrated, result is faster, it is less teeth friendly, post-bleaching tooth sensitivity is more frequent.
Special guard trays are made at the dental technician’s laboratory, or at the dentist’s office using upper and lower impresssions. Bleaching gel has to be poured here following adequate instructions, then tray has to be put on the teeth so as to be stabil, and tray has to be left for the required time or being awake, or during sleeping. This procedure has to be repeated till the desired shade is not reached. Reagent is less concentrated, wanted result can be reached after a longer procedure, however it spares much better dental enamel. Post-bleaching neck of the tooth sensitivity, if occurs at all, does not, or rarely reach threshold of pain.
Having used both methods, it is recommended that you use so-called protecting lacquers, paintings, which can reduce undesired after-effects.
In our office we protect enamel using a two-phased „deep-fluorizer”painting, as it has the most long lasting effect, impregnating not only the surface of the tooth, but the deeper layers too, blocking rough exterior stimuli from the sensitive nerve.
Many of our patients are bothered by the small or large matte white spots on the surface of their teeth. This can be caused by congenital enamel defects or the side effects of medications taken in childhood, but unfortunately they can also appear after the removal of fixed orthodontic appliances.
The chalky white spots appearing on tooth enamel are always caused by deviations and changes in the crystal structure of the tooth enamel mineral. This primarily causes an aesthetic problem for the owner, but is often one of the first signs of tooth decay. For this reason, it is definitely worth dealing with the problem.
What kind of solution does the ICON treatment provide?
ICON’s micro-invasive therapy, a special solution, fills and infiltrates the gaps between the enamel crystals. There is no need to use a drill during the treatment, there is no unpleasant pain, there is no need for needles or anesthesia. Without losing the tooth enamel material, we can stop the process of incipient caries by removing the white spots that cause aesthetic problems at the same time.
The scientific basis of ICON therapy
The ICON treatment works based on the capillary effect principle. In the event of tooth decay, the special resin-type liquid material (ICON-infiltrant) penetrates the carious layer, forming a perfect, hermetic seal and preventing the process from spreading. If the enamel stains are not caused by caries, the ICON infiltrant creates optical properties similar to healthy tooth enamel in the area of the lesion, thereby alleviating the aesthetic problem. The mechanism in this case can be explained by the fact that the ICON material has refractive properties similar to tooth enamel.
How is AZ ICON treatment performed?
We do not prepare, we do not use a drill, there is no anesthetic injection. For this reason, the treatment is completely painless.
1. The first step of the treatment is a thorough cleaning of the teeth, which the dentist does using a so-called polishing brush similar to an electric toothbrush.
2. Afterwards, we provide the teeth to be treated with special isolation, as it is very important to ensure a dry environment.
3. After the teeth have been conditioned and dried, the ICON-infiltrant material is applied to the surface of the teeth. The liquid substance solidifies under the influence of light.
The desired result is already available during the first treatment, in the case of larger changes, the therapy may need to be repeated.
How long is the AZ ICON treatment?
Of course, this treatment also has an optimal protocol in order to achieve the right result. The duration of the treatment depends, among other things, on the extent of the lesion. For minor changes, less than 15 minutes is enough.
In which cases do we recommend the ICON treatment?
– For the painless removal of white spots that cause aesthetic problems, without drilling teeth and other discomforts, even in just one treatment.
– To treat the rudimentary form of dental caries, when the caries has only affected the tooth enamel,
– It is important to know, however, that the ICON treatment is mainly recommended for patients under the age of 18, because long-term, significant improvement can only be achieved with them. The professionally performed ICON treatment is a completely safe and long-term solution.
