Aesthetic dentistry with ceramic (veneers) or composite
Our services
A beautiful, kind smile has a real positive impact both on a person’s self-esteem and on other people. We can achieve a lot with razor-thin ceramic veneers or composite material, such as changing the tooth shape, color and position or other aesthetic defects.
Ceramic veneers for white and symmetrical teeth
Our veneers are produced using a complex procedure by the Seiler Scheidegger dental laboratory in Zurich, with whom we have been working for many years. These ceramic shells are then bonded onto your teeth. Ceramic is a very high-quality, aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting dentistry material that you will be able to enjoy for a very long time, and you will no doubt be impressed by the natural-looking result.
Composite for the correction of minor defects
A more economical alternative to veneers is the aesthetic correction of minor defects using a tooth-colored composite material. This is applied directly to the affected teeth. This adhesive technology is minimally invasive, i.e. involves minimal loss of tooth substance, and achieves impressive results.
Composite is particularly well suited for reshaping or lengthening teeth, whereas its ability to change tooth color is more limited.
Amalgam restoration – replacing troublesome fillings
We can of course also replace dark amalgam fillings too. These are not only unsightly, but also usually very old. These fillings often have marginal gaps in which tooth decay can develop, or cracks may be visible in the existing tooth walls, which may end up causing the corresponding tooth cusps to break off.
In our practice, we place great emphasis on the safe and gentle removal of amalgam fillings. The affected teeth are first isolated using a rubber dam to prevent any amalgam particles from entering the oral cavity. These particles are then suctioned off directly above the rubber dam. We also take care to remove the amalgam in as large pieces as possible. The decision as to whether to use ceramic or composite as a replacement material depends on the extent of the defect.
In order to improve the tooth aesthetics, we naturally also offer tooth bleaching. At our practice, we will provide you with transparent and detailed advice on your individual wishes, the treatment options available to you and the associated costs. Whether bleaching, veneers or composite, we will find the perfect solution.
