Frequently asked questions
Will it hurt during teeth whitening?
Dental implants are suitable for the vast majority of adults—provided jaw growth has finished and overall health allows it. There is no upper age limit; we assess bone quality and, where needed, prepare the foundation (gum therapy, bone regeneration) to ensure a predictable outcome. There may be temporary limitations in cases such as pregnancy, uncontrolled diabetes, active inflammation, the use of certain medications, or heavy smoking—everything is evaluated individually. Book an evaluation: we’ll perform a 3D diagnostic scan and create a personalized plan to restore your smile quickly.
What is Gnathology?
Gnathology is the dental specialty that deals with the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Due to occlusal abnormalities, many patients experience severe headaches, muscle pain, neck pain, and pain in the TMJ. Our primary goal is to identify the cause of the problem. This may lie in the muscles, in the dental occlusion, or in a possible TMJ dislocation. The continuity and success of treatment require the precise identification of the underlying etiology.
If I’m missing many teeth, what should I do?
Get teeth in a single day with a fixed prosthesis on 4 or 6 implants, thanks to the All-on-4 or All-on-6 method, respectively. The All-on-4/6 technique, which has now become a routine procedure in our dental clinic, offers the patient an immediate, fixed (non-removable) restoration.

What does proper oral hygiene mean?
Proper oral hygiene leads to fresh breath. This happens when we keep our teeth clean through regular brushing, our gums stay healthy and pink, and they don’t bleed during brushing or flossing.
In different cases, an examination is recommended in order to detect any problem in oral health in time and proceed to immediate treatment.
The front teeth are spaced apart— is there a way to cover these gaps?
If the gap between the teeth is large, orthodontic treatment is recommended for correction. In other cases, smaller gaps can be successfully closed using tooth-colored composite bonding or porcelain veneers.
What do I need to do after surgery?
- In the first 2-3 hours after the operation, there may be a small amount of bleeding which is normal. It may be necessary to apply ice to the site for 2-3 hours, but this is ONLY on day 1.
- Avoid biting your lips for the first 2–3 hours after the procedure.
- It is recommended to avoid dairy products for the next 12 hours, as well as smoking.
- It is recommended to consume soft and lukewarm foods for the next 12 hours.
- Mouthwashes with salt water for 2-3 days after surgery and for the next 5-6 days mouthwashes with chamomile are recommended.
- If sutures have been placed that require removal, please schedule an appointment (if not already arranged) after 7 days from the procedure.
- In case of pain or any other problem, please contact us.
