Internal Whitening

In cases where a tooth has suffered dental trauma or as a result of root canal treatment, the tooth may appear darker than the adjacent teeth. It can present as a deep yellow or, in some cases, even grayish.

Through the internal whitening process, we can significantly improve the tooth’s color by applying a specialized bleaching method inside the tooth.

Discoloration from trauma in a tooth that is not yet root canal treated
In these cases, the tooth must first undergo root canal treatment. Afterward, repeated sessions are performed where a whitening agent is placed inside the tooth for a certain period until the desired result is achieved.

Discoloration in a tooth that has already undergone root canal treatment
First, the quality of the root canal treatment is evaluated. If it is satisfactory, the internal whitening procedure can proceed immediately. Otherwise, a high-quality root canal treatment must be performed before starting the internal whitening.

A case of extensive caries

In this case, we treated a young patient with extensive carious lesions—a characteristic example of hyperdontia. The causes were multifactorial: inadequate oral hygiene, frequent consumption of sugary drinks, and periods of reduced saliva flow.

The treatment plan was based on a holistic approach, aiming not only to restore functionality but also to improve aesthetics. It included:

– Endodontic therapy (root canal treatment)
– Tooth reconstruction with post reinforcement and full crown
– Multiple fillings on affected teeth
– Resin veneers on anterior teeth to enhance shape, color, and symmetry

The patient’s cooperation was excellent, and the final result showcases a healthy, natural smile—with increased confidence and improved daily oral hygiene habits. Another example of how modern dentistry can change a person’s life.

Below are before and after photos.

Dental Strass

Dental rhinestones add an elegant, sparkling touch to your smile without any permanent procedures. Today, you can choose from innovative materials and designs that highlight your personal style. At our clinic, we offer three popular options:

Single Rhinestone
The simplest and most classic choice.
Typically placed on a canine or lateral incisor, it gives a minimal, sophisticated sparkle to your smile without being over the top. Perfect for those who want a subtle effect that looks natural in everyday life while catching the light beautifully.

Vertical Arrangement of Rhinestones
Aligning two or more rhinestones vertically creates a refined, symmetrical look reminiscent of contemporary jewelry. Usually applied to the front surfaces of anterior teeth, such as the canine or lateral incisor, this placement adds a subtle yet eye-catching shine, especially noticeable when speaking.

Butterfly-Shaped Rhinestone Design
Rhinestones arranged in a small butterfly shape create a playful, artistic effect. Ideal for a unique, personalized look. Typically, four tiny rhinestones are combined in a cross pattern to form the butterfly, and subtle color accents can be added for extra flair.

Is it safe?
Absolutely!
The rhinestones are applied without drilling, using a special dental resin. They remain securely in place for months or longer, and can be easily removed by your dentist without any damage to the enamel.

Why choose dental rhinestones?
– Adds sparkle safely
– Highlights your personal style
– Quick placement in just a few minutes
– Pairs beautifully with whitening or other cosmetic treatments for a complete smile makeover

If you want to add a subtle, elegant, or statement sparkle to your smile, dental rhinestones are the perfect choice.

Teeth Whitening Case: Bright Smile for a Young Man

In this case, teeth whitening was performed on a young man aiming for a natural yet noticeably brighter result. The procedure began with full protection of the gums, applying a special isolation material to ensure the patient’s comfort and safety. At this stage—as shown in the photo—the gums are carefully covered so that the whitening material acts only on the tooth surfaces.

To achieve the ideal bright shade, four whitening sessions were carried out, gradually enhancing the color without altering the natural texture of the teeth. The final result is a healthy, balanced, and radiant smile that highlights the patient’s features.

Composite Veneers – Bonding Technique

Dental Bonding

A safe and painless technique for dramatic results in your smile.

What is dental bonding (also called tooth lifting)?

Dental bonding is a procedure in which the dentist applies a special resin to the outer surface of the teeth to:

Change their shape
Correct their color
Repair minor chips or fractures
Adjust the alignment of slightly crooked teeth

It is a highly versatile procedure for patients seeking specialized aesthetic dental treatments.

What is the resin used, and is it safe?

The resin is the same material used for dental fillings. It is completely safe, adheres strongly to the tooth surface, and integrates seamlessly with your natural teeth.

We use high-quality resins available in a wide range of shades, allowing the final result to be bright, shiny, and perfectly natural-looking.

Does it hurt, and is it time-consuming?

In most cases, no local anesthesia is required, making bonding a comfortable and pleasant procedure for the patient.
It typically requires just one session lasting 2–3 hours, after which the patient leaves the clinic with a completely renewed and aesthetically enhanced smile.

Cost, advantages, and disadvantages

Bonding is more affordable and convenient compared to ceramic veneers. The main drawback is that the results require periodic maintenance: small chips or wear on the resin surface may occur over time and can be easily repaired or polished during routine dental visits.

With proper care, professional polishing, and good oral hygiene, the results of dental bonding can last many years, maintaining a beautiful and natural-looking smile over time.
