Check-up and Care

The routine check-ups will be done by our dentists.Visit one of our dental hygienists for a dental cleaning. They will remove any plaque, tartar, stains and will help you improve your oral hygiene.

Crown and bridge work

Crowns are placed when a tooth has insufficient grip for a filling. A tooth can be beautifully restored with a crown in terms of function and aesthetics. Bridges are placed to replace missing teeth or for aesthetical reasons. We use both the conventional method to create crowns, but we also use the CEREC system.

We have been working with the ‘CEREC’ system for a long time. This method produces more natural and functional ceramic crowns for a more lifelike result. With the CEREC system, it is possible to get a new crown within a day.
This is made possible by the use of a highly advanced scanner, that accurately takes a 3D image and feeds this into a program. From there a 3D milling machine will produce a crown out of a ceramic block. Once milled, the crown is fitted and polished up to match your existing tooth.

Endodontics

Endodontics is the dental speciality concerned with the study and treatment of the dental pulp. This covers ‘root canal’ treatments.

Tjibbe Veenema is our endodontics specialist. He has the expertise and patience to execute root canal treatments with precision.

Your teeth are divided into the crown and the root. The crown is the part that is visible in the mouth, the root is seated underneath the gums. The root canal sits within the roots of your teeth and extends from the tip of the root to halfway through the crown. The root canal contains blood vessels and nerve endings, aptly named the ‘pulp’.

During a root canal treatment, the inflamed part of the pulp will be removed and a ‘canal filling’ is applied.

Implantology

An implant is a piece of titanium that is placed into the jawbone. Afterwards a crown is placed on top of the implant. This is aesthetically and functionally the best option to replace a lost tooth.

Cosmetic dentistry

We offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry options, such as ‘facings’ and crowns. Facings can be compared with little ‘shields’ that we place over your existing teeth. The materials used for these facings are determined on a case by case basis.

Bleaching

We offer various bleaching methods. The first option is ‘Philips Zoom’ and the second option is KöR night bleach. We can give you more information about these products during your visit or you can visit the websites for these products.

Orthodontics

We offer treatments with the ‘Invisalign’ system. This system uses near invisible clear aligners to straighten your teeth. You can find out more about Invisalign on their website. Be mindful that with severe orthodontic cases, a conventional ‘brackets’ method might be necessary.
