During the treatment, ultrasonic and manual instruments are used to remove hard tartar, AirFlow sandblasting to remove pigmentation, and teeth are polished to make them smooth and less prone to new deposits. The visit also includes home care instructions , where the patient receives advice on how to properly clean teeth and interdental spaces and how to use brushes, floss or other aids for long-term dental protection.
Quality dental hygiene is the foundation of healthy teeth – no dental work, whether it’s fillings, crowns or implants, can be functional in the long term without regular and proper care of your teeth and gums.
Good dental health and a high level of dental hygiene are also essential if you are planning to whiten your teeth , as removing plaque and tartar will ensure an even whitening effect.

Frequently asked questions
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience some mild swelling or tenderness, which usually subsides within a few days.
With proper care and regular check-ups, an implant can last for decades – often a lifetime.
From implant placement to crown placement, it usually takes 2-3 months, depending on individual healing.
Maintenance is the same as for your own teeth – regular cleaning, dental hygiene and check-ups at the dentist. This is what will ensure that the implant lasts as long as possible.
With early diagnosis and proper treatment, the inflammation can be stopped and the condition of the gums and bone can be stabilized. Advanced damage cannot always be completely reversed, but its progression can be significantly slowed down and your own teeth can be preserved.
The treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia and is gentle. Some patients may experience mild discomfort during deeper root cleaning, but the pain is well controlled.
Warning signs include bleeding when brushing, red or swollen gums, bad breath, loose teeth, or gaps between teeth. Even minor symptoms should be addressed promptly.
With proper care and regular check-ups, a crown or bridge can last 10–20 years or longer.
The tooth preparation and crown placement itself are performed under local anesthesia, so they are painless.
Just like with your own teeth: regular cleaning, interdental brushes, and visits to a dental hygienist or doctor for checkups.
