THE CLINIC FOR AN ELEGANT SMILEHIGH QUALITY INTEGRATED DENTISTRY SERVICES PROGRAM

Dentistry-aimed medical tourism is increasingly becoming a wide-spread phenomenon.

OneOne of the main factors that drive the rising popularity of this effect is the ever-increasing cost of dental care, doubled by the long waiting period and execution time. The „CLINIC FOR AN ELEGANT SMILE” program allows you to save money by undergoing your dental services in Bucharest, Romania, at a cost that is considerably lower than in Western Europe or North America. Crowns, bridges or dental implants are 3 or 4 timestimes more expensive in a Western European or North Ameri-can clinic. Even when including the cost of travel and accom-modation, you will still end up saving thousands of dollars.

Due to the technological strides of the last decade, the differ-ences in quality standards between Romanian dentistry and that of Western Europe have disappeared, while the new-found ease of travel and reduced travel costs were essential contributions towards setting up the „CLINIC FOR AN ELE-GANT SMILE” program by TELEMEDICA & EXQUISITE DENT. These developments have made Bucharest a world destination for dentistry and medical tourism.

Medical Tourism

Medical tourismBuchaBucharest is the capital of Romania, while also the country’s largest city and commercial centre. The rst mention of Bucharest in historical records dates back to 1459, becoming the capital in 1862. Since then, Bucharest undergoes continuous changes, developing a vibrant artistic and media scene. In the inter-war period, the elegant architecture, as well as the high-prole cultural elite scene gives it the nickname of „Little Paris”.

For an enjoyable stay, we recommend some of the touristic attractions:

The Palace of Parliament was built under the orders of former dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu between 1984 and 1989 and is the second largest building in the world, after the Pentagon, in addition to holding a score of other impressive world records.

Manuc’s Inn, built by the famous tradesman Manuc-bei in 1808, is currently one of the most prominent historical and architectural monuments in Bucharest

Colțea Hospital is the rst hospital founded in Bucharest, by the sword-bearer Mihai Cantacuzino. The original settlement was built in 1704, while the current building dates from 1888, and its style reects the n de siècle architectural standards of the area.

Palace of Justice (1890-1895), built in the Renaissance style, follow-ing the French architect’s Albert Ballu’s plan, was later nished by Ion Mincu. The statues placed at the entrance of the building symbolize Law, Rightfulness, Justice, Truth, Force, and Prudence.

Cotroceni Palace was erected in 1893 by following French architect’s Paul Gottereau’s plans, with numerous vernacular architectural elements. The building served as permanent residence for Ferdinand, then crown prince of the Kingdom of Romania. Today the palace serves as the presidential

Prevention. Dental aesthetics.

Prevention if the rst step of dental care, allowing you to maintain a healthy and elegant smile

Keeping your teeth healthy relies heavily on the way we apply the dentist’s rec-ommendations regarding oral hygiene, proper brushing, ossing and mouth-wash use.

Early identication of dental afflictions is paramount in avoiding the discomfort brought by undergoing complicated and expensive treatments. Dental issue prevention involves regular visits to the dentist, ideally once every 6 months, so that any dental afflictions can be identied and treated in their early stages. Through the “CLINIC FOR AN ELEGANT SMILE” program you can take advantage of the following dental prophylactic services: Guidance regarding oral hygiene (brushing techniques, using dental oss, interdental brushes, dental showers and mouth wash); Detecting plaque with the help of plaque disclosing agents; Ultrasonic dental scaling, air ow, professional brushing.

Dental Aesthetics

A beautiful and natural smile will probably become your greatest attribute. Dental aesthetics was born out of the human desire for an attractive smile.TThis area of expertise is aimed at patients who desire healthy, white, well-aligned teeth that harmoniously match their countenance. Consider all the daily advantages that having a white and shiny smile can bring and what effect it can have on your personal and professional life.

MModern society imposes a smile that is as white and attractive as possible as a beauty standard, making it a sign of youth and self-condence. That is why over 75% of patients who are asked what they would change about their smile quick-ly offer “colour” as their choice.

The colour of natural teeth can be changed through several methods: Using whitening gels and whitening lamps; Direct composite restoration; Using lab-created ceramic facets as coating.

11

Endodontic Treatments. Prosthetic Treatments.

Endodontic Treatments Endodontic treatments are concerned with preventing, diagnosing and treating dental pulp afflictions – the soft tissue composed of blood vessels and nerves that can be found inside the tooth, as well as in the apical region. Radicular canal treatment becomes necessary when the pulp becomes sore or dies. When not treated, the infection spreads to the bone and surrounding tissues.

GGenerally, endodontic treatment involves the removal of sore and necrotic tissue, as well as removing the organic remnants from the radicular canals, so that they can be obstructed with biocompatible materials. Available endodontic treatments: Pulp treatment – direct and indirect pulp capping, pulpotomy, removing the pulp, mechanic-chemical preparation of the radicular canal, canal obstruction; Apical surgery – periapical curettage, apical resection, retrograde canal obstruction, radicular perforation sealing; Endodontic treatment and retreatment; Apexication/recalcication; Radicular amputation.

Prosthetic TreatmentsAAvailable restoration treatments:

Photopolymer composite material obstructions; Aesthetic crown-radicular reconstruction with glass ber pivots; Ceramic facets; Fully ceramic crowns or bridges, zirconium oxide; Fully ceramic crowns, ceramic, composite or noble alloy inlays and onlays; Metal-ceramic crowns and bridges on noble or non-noble alloy; Partial prosthetics framed with special maintenance, support and stabilizing systems; Overdentures on residual teeth or implants; Partial and total prosthetics, exible or conventional; Temporary works.

Surgery and Implants. Orthodontic Treatments. 13

Surgery and ImplantsReplacing missing teeth is absolutely necessary for the patient’s aesthetic needs, but most of all for the restoration of the biologic functions of the maxillary appa-ratus.

Dental implants are articial pieces usually made out of pure titanium which allow replacing missing teeth, be it a single teeth or all of them. The advantages of dental implants are:

They save the patient’s natural teeth Replacing missing teeth with implants will allow the remaining natural teeth to be maintained on the dental arch for a longer time The result is much more aesthetically pleasing than using xed or mobile partial prosthesis Patients vouch for the improvement, seeing how the implants, alongside the surrounding prosthetic work, have a volume and a position almost identical with that of the missing teeth.

Orthodontic TreatmentsCComplex orthodontic treatment has a long-term impact, being able to correct muscular and occlusal dysfunctions, which would otherwise damage the adult’s denture, given enough time. This treatment positively inuences the develop-ment of the maxillary bones and contributes, through the correct positioning of teeth, to the physiological transmission of masticatory forces, maintaining the periodontal margins’ health (the tissue that xates the tooth in the bone).IIn modern dentistry, the orthodontic treatment doesn’t carry an age restriction anymore, being available for both children and adults. It can be applied to:

Children 4 years old or older, as a space maintainer for children that lost their baby teeth too early; Children between the ages of 6 and 12, with mixed teething, for the correct arrangement of teeth with incorrect eruptions, for the encouragement of correct eruption, for discouraging unwanted habits in the child (such as thumb-sucking sticking the tongue between the dental arches). All of these are favouring the development of the alveolar, maxillary and man dibular bone processes and the teeth arrangement in the so-called neutral corridor Any age, for harmonising the obstructing relations, for creating spaces in preparation for implants, for correcting a teeth’s position before applying dental crowns or bridges, so that the space will allow an optimal aesthetic result

Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal Treatment PPeriodontitis is an affliction of the gums and of the bone surrounding the teeth that leads to the loss of teeth even if they are whole, apparently healthy and free of cavities. Certain bacteria groups are responsible for this affliction. Insufficient oral hygiene associated with smoking or with some general diseases creates favoura-ble conditions for these bacteria to develop in the mouth. The bacteria then pene-trate the surface of the teeth’s root, destroying the bone that supports the dental roots. This loss of the bone can lead to the loss of teeth, if not halted in time.

Initial TherapyIt’s based on the periodontal prophylaxis and includes non-invasive dentistry pro-cedures that aim to prevent either the further deterioration of the affliction, or the stabilization of the infection processes before a surgical intervention: Microbe plaque control - educating the patient in regards to forming improved oral hygiene habits, learning correct dental brushing techniques, making use of dental oss and of other specic accessories (interdental brushes, mouthwash etc.) Scaling and radicular planning - improving teeth hygiene through dental scaling, professional brushing and mouth showers based on chlorhexidine Strategic extractions - removal of non-recoverable teeth through early extraction allows for alveolar healing and a better control of bacterial plaque.

Surgical Intervention TherapyThe following are available: Gingivectomy - through this intervention the hypertrophic tissues are removes and can be applied to the periodontal bags to the brous or enlarged gingival tissue Subgingival curettage - through this procedure, the dentist incises a mucoperiosteum ap, subsequently removing the granular tissue with the curette Gingivoplasty - is usually undertaken alongside gingivectomy and is used to remodel the gingival tissue; Osseous induction - involves the xing of bone defects through the addition of materials such as ceramic, cartilage, bone taken from a different part of the body Osseous resection - has the purpose of reshaping the bone so that it can become a proper base for a gingival attachment and eliminating periodontal bags Treating furcation lesions Guided tissue regeneration - decayed soft and hard tissues are being re placed with biocompatible materials that stimulate tissue regeneration.
