You should avoid foods and beverages which may discolour your teeth for at least two weeks after the treatment. The spots should be filled with a reinforcing enamel mineral substance contained in the saliva or supplied by the paste and mouthwashes care.

Yes, but only if the discoloration arose from external influences i.e. wine, tea, coffee etc. These require a different kind of internal bleaching. The bleaching process is not fully predictable when dealing with porcelain bridges, crowns and filling. That is why sometimes it is worth replacing any visible bridges, crowns or fillings with ones that better suit the new colour of your teeth. This is to be done no sooner than 2 weeks after the bleaching treatment, as the colour and translucency of the teeth may not have settled until after this time.

Before the whitening procedure, we perform a deep cleaning, full scaling with sandblasting of the teeth. Next the Dentist covers the patient’s gums with a special light-gel, to protect them from direct contact with a whitening gel. The Dentist then prepares a 40% hydrogen peroxide solution to cover the patient’s teeth. It usually takes 10-15 minutes for the whitening activity to take place. This action is repeated three times. Each time the Dentist is removing a whitening gel layer and putting another one on instead. The whole procedure takes about 45 minutes.

It is a semi-permanent treatment.

For people with sensitive teeth a hypersensitivity experience may occur, especially a few hours after whitening sessions are performed in the clinic.

The patient has a set of teeth impressions done during dental surgery. Next, the dental laboratory prepares an individual, thin, transparent overlay of the teeth. The patient then receives dose trays on the next dental visit together with a set of syringes and whitening agents at a concentration of 10% or 16% depending on the sensitivity of the teeth. The trays are fitted and the patient is instructed on how to apply the whitening gel. It is best to bleach the teeth at night or to wear the trays for a few hours during the day. Only after two applications, will the difference in teeth whiteness become apparent.

Whitening using bleaching agents containing hydrogen peroxide is not harmful, does not cause any chemical changes in the structure of the tooth, nor weaken the resistance to decay, and it does not causes inflammation of the pulp.

On the basis of the treatment plan, a set of overlays is made for the first stage of treatment. The first set consists of three different thicknesses (soft-0,5, medium-0,625, hard-0,75) pressed on the previously prepared model. The overlays are made using thermoforming technology. They are made of soft, biocompatible plastic, so that the patient does not feel uncomfortable wearing the overlay.

Clear Aligner patches minimise the inconvenience of the treatment process, are comfortable and invisible. Their advantage is that they can be easily removed. They can be taken off, for example, for eating or drinking coloring and hot drinks, to protect against discoloration, and also during oral hygiene. However, they should be worn for at least 20 hours a day.After 3 weeks, you need to visit your doctor. During this visit, the progress of the treatment is monitored, another impression is taken and another set of overlays is performed. With regular checks and subsequent sets of overlays each treatment process is very precise and can be corrected at every stage. Treatment is more effective and faster, and the effects more visible.The effectiveness of the subsequent stages depends on regular visits to your doctor and adherence to his or her instructions, particularly when wearing the overlay.

For correct and effective treatment, precise diagnosis and estimation of achievable results are necessary. For initial diagnosis of severe malocclusion will be done cephalometric and pantomographic images, and then the jaw and jaw will be taken. On the basis of the first impression will be made set-up dental arches, digital analysis and simulation of treatment results. At this stage your dentist will be able to accurately and precisely define your treatment plan. It consists of a detailed calculation of the number of stages needed to achieve the desired results, the duration of treatment and the costs associated with it.

The final stage of treatment, equally important, is the retention phase, which stabilises the achieved results and prevents recurrence. In orthodontic treatment planning and implementation of the retention phase are very important activities. It is important to realise that retention is an integral part of treatment and cannot be underestimated.

The course of Clear Aligner treatment begins with a consultation with a specialist who will recognise your specific case in the discussion. The Clear Aligner method is used more and more often, but only after examination, dentist will be able to assess whether the case is eligible for Clear Aligner treatment. On the basis of the initial diagnosis and interview with the patient, dentist will also be able to pre-assess the duration and cost of treatment. During consultation, patients may also learn more about the method and get answers to their questions.

The transparent overlay is almost imperceptible, wearing them does not cause discomfort during meetings and conversations at work or school.

The pads adhere perfectly to the teeth, so they do not adversely affect the quality of speech and allow you to laugh.

Sheets are quickly and easily removed and reused, for example, while eating, drinking hot and tinted beverages, brushing and flossing, and cleaning the rails themselves.

The pads are smooth, without protruding metal parts, so they do not cause a feeling of creasing.

The cost of the entire Clear Aligner treatment process is comparable to traditional methods and sometimes even cheaper.

Biocompatible. The overlay material does not cause itching and allergic reactions that can result from the metal's contact with the cheek and gums, is well tolerated by the tissues inside the mouth.

An ultrasound examination during the second trimester of pregnancy assesses the exact foetus development, which aims to detect birth defects, determining the weight and age of the foetus. At this stage the foetus is sufficiently well advanced to enable investigation of the whole anatomy for normal development. While ultrasound the sonographer will check: ✔ Number of foetuses. Determination of chorionicity in twin pregnancy (identical twins) for example can be made early and extra surveillance of these high risk pregnancies can be organized to optimize the outcome. ✔ Detection of foetal heart movement/rate. Seeing the heart beating is reassuring and confirms that the baby is okay. The heart usually starts beating at about six weeks. ✔ Measure head circumference (HC) and diameter (biparietal diameter or BPD). ✔ Measure abdominal circumference (AC). ✔ Measure femur or thigh bone (FL) ✔ Foetus anatomy: ● The shape and structure of your baby's head. It is possible to detect severe brain problems at this stage, but fortunately these are very rare. ● Your baby's face to check for a cleft lip. Cleft palates inside a baby's mouth are hard to see and are rarely picked up. ● Your baby's abdominal wall, to make sure it covers all the internal organs at the front. ● Your baby's stomach. Your baby swallows some of the amniotic fluid that he lies in, which is seen in his stomach as a black bubble. ● Your baby's kidneys. The doctor will check that your baby has two kidneys, and that urine flows freely into his bladder. If your baby's bladder is empty, it should fill up during the scan and be easy to see. Your baby has been passing urine every half an hour or so for some months now! ● Your baby's heart. The top two chambers (atria) and the bottom two chambers (ventricles) should be equal in size. The valves should open and close with each heartbeat. ● Your baby's spine, both along its length and in cross-section, to make sure all the bones align and that the skin covers the spine at the back. ● Your baby's arms, legs, hands and feet. The doctor will look at your baby's fingers and toes, but not count them. Doctor will also evaluate: ✔ Placenta location ✔ Umbilical cord vessels ✔ Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) ✔ Cervix As long as baby is in the right position, the sonographer may also attempt to identify the gender of the foetus. However please note that we cannot guarantee 100% the gender of baby before delivery however, we are happy to give an 85/95% opinion as to gender based on what we can see on the gender scan and the excellent experience of our sonographers.

The Growth & Foetal Well-Being scan is offered for a number of reasons. It determines the lie or presentation of the baby (breech, transverse or cephalic), it provides us with information about the placenta location and appearance, it establishes an estimated foetal weight, it examines the umbilical cord Doppler flow to determine whether the placenta is functioning as it should, it calculates the amniotic fluid volume around the baby and it allows for the sonographer to check the main organs and standard foetal measurements. Time is also taken to make sure that the baby is swallowing, breathing and moving normally. This forms part of its biophysical profile. The role of this scan is to: ✔ Determine the presentation/lie of the baby ✔ Locate the position of the placenta ✔ Measure the amniotic fluid index ✔ Assess the foetus’ growth ✔ Establish a current estimated foetal weight ✔ Identify and measure foetal heart rate ✔ Determine the gender of the foetus if requested.

The NT scan is usually performed between 11 and 13.6 weeks of pregnancy. Before 11 weeks the scan is technically difficult because the baby is so tiny and, after 14 weeks, excess fluid may be absorbed by the baby's developing lymphatic system. Nuchal translucency (NT) is the sonographic appearance of a collection of fluid under the skin behind the foetal neck in the first-trimester of pregnancy. The sonographer will perform a transvaginal scan which can pick up a better image of your baby. The NT thickness is measured and this gives the risk or estimate of the baby having Down's syndrome and other conditions. A scan can only indicate the level of risk of your baby having Down's syndrome. To get a definitive 100% answer for chromosome abnormalities including Down syndrome, a prenatal diagnostic test is needed like a blood test to give a more accurate assessment which is also available to perform in our clinic (Verify DNA Test). The nuchal translucency scan is usually advised in first time pregnancies, high-risk pregnancies and in pregnant women who are over 35 years of age. The full scan will provide the following information: ✔ Number of foetuses. Determination of chorionicity in twin pregnancy (identical twins) for example can be made early and extra surveillance of these high risk pregnancies can be organized to optimize the outcome. ✔ Detection of foetal heart movement/rate. Seeing the heart beating is reassuring and confirms that the baby is okay. The heart usually starts beating at about six weeks. ✔ Determines the gestational age of the foetus. This can be made accurately by measuring the crown-rump length (CRL). It will help in determining the expected date of delivery (EDD). ✔ Foetus anatomy: ● The shape and structure of your baby's head. It is possible to detect severe brain problems at this stage, but fortunately these are very rare. ● Your baby's abdominal wall, to make sure it covers all the internal organs at the front. ● Your baby's stomach. Your baby swallows some of the amniotic fluid that he lies in, which is seen in his stomach as a black bubble. ● Your baby's kidneys. The doctor will check that your baby has two kidneys, and that urine flows freely into his bladder. If your baby's bladder is empty, it should fill up during the scan and be easy to see. Your baby has been passing urine every half an hour or so for some months now! ● Your baby's heart. The top two chambers (atria) and the bottom two chambers (ventricles) should be equal in size. The valves should open and close with each heartbeat. ● Your baby's spine, both along its length and in cross-section, to make sure all the bones align and that the skin covers the spine at the back. ● Your baby's arms, legs, hands and feet. The doctor will look at your baby's fingers and toes, but not count them. ● Full nuchal translucency scan (NT)

Early Pregnancy Viability Scan is often done to provide reassurance in the very early stages of your pregnancy. You can have an Early Pregnancy Scan any time from 6 weeks onwards as we should see a heartbeat although, at this stage it is very small (approximately 5mm). These dates are calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not the day of conception. Before 5 weeks it is not possible to see any signs of a pregnancy with current ultrasound technology. Waiting a few weeks will allow you to see more, and if foetus is healthy at 8 weeks you will be reassured to know the chance of miscarriage is very low. In these early weeks of pregnancy, your baby is too small and low in your abdomen to be picked up by a normal ultrasound scan. That’s why a vaginal scan is done by introducing a probe into your vagina. It can pick up a better image of your baby. The doctor will exam: ✔ Number of foetuses. Determination of chorionicity in twin pregnancy (identical twins) for example can be made early and extra surveillance of these high risk pregnancies can be organized to optimize the outcome. ✔ Detection of foetal heart movement/rate. Seeing the heart beating is reassuring and confirms that the baby is okay. The heart usually starts beating at about six weeks. ✔ Determines the gestational age of the foetus. This can be made accurately by measuring the crown-rump length (CRL). It will help in determining the expected date of delivery (EDD). ✔ Ensure an intra-uterine pregnancy. It confirms that the foetus is well placed in the womb and therefore excludes an out-of-place (or ectopic) pregnancy. ✔ Detection of structural abnormalities. Gross foetal abnormalities such as anencephaly (foetus without a brain) can be detected early in pregnancy. ✔ The foetal viability scan is important for women who experience bleeding in pregnancy, previous miscarriages or foetal abnormalities in pregnancy. It is often used to reassure women that their pregnancy is off to a good start. ✔ The gestational sac can be seen as early as four and a half weeks of pregnancy and a yolk sac at about five weeks. A trans-vaginal probe has to be used to visualize the early pregnancy. This special transducer is introduced gently into the vagina. Clearer images are obtained because the probe is of higher frequency and is nearer to the object of interest in the womb.

The procedure consists in placing the patient in a suit, which consists of empty chambers gradually filled with air. With the compressor in place, the compressed air is forced into the chambers and presses the parts of the body to push the blood and lymph to the nearest lymph nodes. First, the chambers are filled with cubes, through the calves up to the top. This kind of mechanical drainage allows the tissue to be thoroughly cleaned with dead toxins and to remove excess water from the body. Presotherapy is often combined with liposuction and liposuction ultrasound.

Presotherapy is a method used in the treatment of lymphatic and circulatory systems, used in aesthetic medicine, physiotherapy and cosmetics. The treatment of the presotherapy stimulates the venous and lymphatic system, affects the cleansing and nourishing of the body. The treatment is recommended for the treatment of venous and lymphatic edema of various origins, swollen cellulite and trophic disorders caused by cardiovascular changes.The effects of presotherapy include re-absorption of interstitial fluids and toxins, stimulation of venous and lymphatic drainage towards the filtering organs, increase of elasticity and nourishment of tissues, analgesic and relaxing effect as a result of absorption of edematous opacities.
