Patients are referred to a dental surgeon in cases such as impacted wisdom teeth, cysts, inflammatory conditions, complex extractions, root fractures, or when bone reconstruction is needed prior to implant placement.

All procedures are performed under local anesthesia, making them painless. At our clinic, we also offer the option of treatment under sedation ("laughing gas") as well as general anesthesia, ensuring maximum comfort and peace of mind for our patients.

Although dental surgery procedures can sometimes be invasive, they are safe when performed by an experienced specialist using modern equipment. It is important to remember that any surgical intervention carries a risk of complications, but our doctors make every effort to minimize such risks and ensure the highest level of patient safety.

Yes, if necessary, it is possible to remove several teeth during a single procedure. The decision is made by the dentist, taking into account the patient’s overall health and the complexity of the extractions.

The healing time depends on the type of procedure. For example, after wisdom tooth extraction, full recovery usually takes 7–14 days, while after regenerative or implant procedures, the healing period may range from several weeks to a few months.

In most cases, no special preparation is required, but it is recommended to:

• Eat a light meal (if the procedure is performed under local anesthesia)

• Avoid alcohol and smoking on the day of the procedure

• Inform your dentist about any medications you are taking and any general health conditions

The most common symptoms include:

• bleeding gums during brushing,

• swelling and redness of the gums,

• unpleasant breath odor,

• gum recession exposing tooth necks,

• tooth mobility,

• gum sensitivity or pain.

The main causes include:

• poor oral hygiene,

• buildup of plaque and tartar,

• smoking,

• genetic predisposition,

• stress and weakened immunity,

• improper dental treatment (e.g., poorly fitted fillings).

Treatment may include:

• scaling and root planing (deep cleaning of the tooth root surface),

• antiseptic or antibiotic therapy,

• gum contouring and surgical procedures,

• supportive treatments such as laser therapy,

• education and motivation for proper oral hygiene.

Early stages (such as gingivitis) are fully reversible. Advanced periodontal disease can be slowed down or stopped, but this requires regular treatment and excellent oral hygiene.

The procedures are performed under local anesthesia, making them comfortable and painless. In addition, modern, minimally invasive methods such as laser therapy or ultrasound are often used.

Yes. Monitoring the condition of the tissues around implants (peri-implantitis) and maintaining proper hygiene are key to their long-term success. Patients with dentures should also regularly check the condition of their gums and oral mucosa.

• daily and thorough brushing and flossing,

• regular professional hygiene treatments (every 6 months),

• quitting smoking,

• healthy diet and stress management,

• regular check-ups with a dentist and periodontist.

Yes. Chronic inflammation in the mouth may increase the risk of systemic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, strokes, and even pregnancy complications.

Implants are suitable for most adult patients who:

• have lost one or more teeth

• have sufficient bone quantity and quality (or are willing to undergo bone augmentation)

• are in good general health and maintain proper oral hygiene

No – the procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is completely painless. After the surgery, some minor swelling or discomfort may occur, but this can be easily managed with pain medication.

It depends on the individual case. The standard process (implant placement + healing + crown) usually takes 3–6 months. In some situations, immediate restorations are possible – for example, with the All-on-X method.

Yes – dental implants are one of the most durable solutions in modern dentistry. However, the key factors are proper oral hygiene, regular check-ups, and professional cleaning. This way, implants maintain their function and aesthetics for decades, becoming a true investment in health and a beautiful smile for years to come.

There are some contraindications, such as:

• active periodontal disease

• uncontrolled diabetes

• smoking (increases the risk of failure)

• pregnancy

• serious systemic diseases

In every case, the final decision is made by the dentist after a detailed interview and examination.

Yes – implants need the same (or even greater) care as natural teeth: daily brushing, flossing, use of an oral irrigator, as well as regular check-ups and professional hygiene visits every 6 months.

• An implant does not require grinding down neighboring teeth.

• It is more durable and stable.

• It functions like a natural tooth – offering better comfort, aesthetics, and functionality.

• Unlike removable dentures, it prevents bone loss.

A missing tooth can lead to:

• shifting of the remaining teeth

• bone loss in the gap area

• overloading of neighboring teeth

• bite problems and changes in facial aesthetics

A dental implant helps prevent these consequences.

All-On-X is a modern technique for restoring an entire dental arch (upper or lower) using 4, 5, or 6 implants that provide a stable foundation for a prosthetic bridge. It enables a fast and long-lasting restoration of a full set of teeth, even in patients with advanced tooth loss.

The All-On-X method is ideal for:

• people with complete tooth loss (edentulism)

• patients with severely damaged teeth

• patients qualifying for extractions

• those who wish to avoid wearing removable dentures

• patients with insufficient bone volume for placing multiple traditional implants

With the All-On-X method, only 4–6 implants are needed per dental arch, whereas traditional implantation usually requires many more. In addition, thanks to the special angulation and positioning of the implants, bone grafting procedures can often be avoided.

Yes – in most cases, it is possible to place the implants and attach a temporary bridge within a single day. The final, full-ceramic prosthetic restoration is completed after the healing period.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia making it completely painless. After the surgery, some minor swelling or discomfort may occur, but these symptoms subside quickly.

• consultation and treatment planning (including CBCT scan)

• extractions (if necessary) and implant placement

• fabrication and placement of a temporary bridge (within 24 hours)

• healing period (3–6 months)

• placement of the final bridge (most often made of ceramic materials)

A prosthetic bridge supported by implants can last for many years – even a lifetime – provided proper oral hygiene is maintained and regular check-ups are attended.

No – in the All-On-X method, the prosthetic bridge is fixed and screwed onto the implants. It does not need to be removed at night or for cleaning.

It is important to brush regularly, use a water flosser, and attend professional hygiene appointments. The clinic staff provides patients with detailed instructions on how to properly clean the restoration and the areas around the implants.

Yes – it is one of the most durable and comfortable prosthetic solutions, effectively replacing natural teeth in both function and aesthetics.

Yes – a dental consultation is essential before starting treatment. During this visit, the dentist:

• conducts a medical interview and learns about the patient’s needs

• assesses the condition of the teeth, gums, and bite

• performs necessary examinations (e.g., X-rays)

• creates a personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient

A consultation helps avoid unforeseen complications and ensures that the treatment will be effective, safe, and aligned with the patient’s expectations. In some cases, the consultation may be combined with minor procedures (e.g., tartar removal or pain management), but it always precedes the main treatment.

The duration of a dental consultation depends on the scope of the examination and the issues reported by the patient, but it usually lasts between 20 and 45 minutes.

During this time, the dentist:

• conducts a detailed medical interview

• performs an oral examination

• takes or reviews X-rays (if needed)

• discusses the diagnosis and proposes a treatment plan

If the consultation concerns a specific field (e.g., surgery, orthodontics, implantology), it may take a bit longer, especially if it includes additional examinations such as CBCT scans or 3D imaging.

Yes – in most cases, you will receive a preliminary treatment plan and an approximate cost estimate during your first consultation.

After conducting a medical interview, examining the oral cavity, and analyzing X-rays or other diagnostic tests, the dentist will:

• present the diagnosis and possible treatment options

• propose an individual step-by-step treatment plan, while the Patient Care Coordinator prepares a preliminary cost estimate

For more complex treatments (e.g., prosthetic, implant, or orthodontic cases), the final cost estimate may require additional analysis or a team consultation. In such cases, the patient will receive a detailed quotation in writing or by email within a few days.

This way, you can make an informed decision and plan your treatment according to your possibilities and expectations.

• Take care of oral hygiene – brush your teeth before the visit to help the dentist thoroughly assess the condition of your teeth and gums.

• Bring any existing documentation, if you have it – e.g., X-rays, CBCT scans, or treatment records from another clinic.

• Prepare a list of symptoms or questions – it’s worth noting what concerns you (pain, sensitivity, gum bleeding) so you don’t forget to mention anything during the visit.

• Inform the dentist about chronic conditions and medications – e.g., diabetes, hypertension, allergies.

• If pregnant – make sure to let the dentist know.

• teeth whitening (in-office or at-home)

• porcelain or composite veneers

• bonding – aesthetic restoration with composite

• reshaping and length correction of teeth

• aesthetic fillings for front teeth

• full-ceramic crowns and aesthetic bridges

• professional cleaning and polishing for a fresh smile

For anyone who wants to:

• improve the appearance of their smile

• remove discoloration, cracks, or irregularities

• correct the shape of their teeth

• regain self-confidence in everyday life

Yes – all procedures are performed by experienced dentists using modern, proven materials and the highest-quality equipment.

Porcelain veneers are more durable, resistant to discoloration, and highly aesthetic – often chosen for complete smile makeovers. Composite veneers are more affordable and less invasive but may require more frequent touch-ups.

It is a non-invasive method of aesthetic restoration using composite – ideal for closing gaps (diastemas), correcting tooth shape, filling minor defects, or improving the appearance of front teeth.

The results can last from several to over a dozen years – depending on the type of procedure, the materials used, and the patient’s commitment to oral hygiene and regular check-ups.

Not always. In many cases (e.g., bonding, certain composite veneers), the procedure is minimally invasive yet completely safe for the enamel. The extent of intervention is always discussed individually.

Yes – aesthetic results are often best when different fields are combined: orthodontics, prosthetics, implantology, and aesthetics. At Prodental, every treatment plan is always tailored to the patient’s individual needs and expectations.

A missing tooth can lead to:

• shifting of the remaining teeth

• bone loss in the area of the gap

• overloading of adjacent teeth

• bite problems and changes in facial aesthetics
  

An implant helps prevent these consequences.

Yes. It is one of the safest methods of stress reduction in dentistry. Its effect wears off immediately after the gas administration is stopped. It can be used for both children and adults.

It is especially recommended for:

• children and adults with dental anxiety

• patients with a strong gag reflex

• people sensitive to pain or stress

Yes. Sedation does not cause loss of consciousness – the patient feels relaxed, calm, and less responsive to stimuli but remains communicative and fully awake.

It takes effect within a few minutes of administration and wears off almost immediately after the procedure ends.

Not entirely. It has a calming effect and reduces the perception of stimuli, but for pain-related treatments it is used together with local anesthesia.

Yes. It is one of the most commonly used methods for children who are afraid of the dentist or have difficulty adapting to dental treatment.

Yes, a few minutes after the administration of the gas is stopped, you can return to full activity – including driving – provided no additional sedatives have been given.

Inhalation sedation is not recommended in cases such as:

• upper respiratory tract infections

• nasal congestion

• severe lung diseases

• first trimester of pregnancy

• certain mental disorders

Yes – diagnostics is a key first step in the dental treatment process. It allows the dentist to thoroughly assess the condition of the teeth, gums, bone, and surrounding tissues, as well as detect possible hidden issues (e.g., interproximal caries, periapical lesions, or malocclusions).

Thanks to precise diagnostics, it is possible to:

• plan treatment individually and safely

• avoid unexpected complications during procedures

• select the appropriate therapy method – from prevention to root canal treatment or implantology

No – dental diagnostics is completely painless and non-invasive.

Most examinations, such as an oral check-up, X-rays, or intraoral scanning, do not cause any discomfort. Even more advanced procedures, like CBCT scans, only require briefly positioning the head and remaining still for several seconds.

For the patient, this is usually a quick, calm, and comfortable part of the visit – yet a very important one, as it helps detect problems that are not visible to the naked eye.

Yes – dental X-rays are safe and performed using very low doses of radiation. Modern digital equipment used in clinics emits several times less radiation than traditional machines, and the examination itself takes only a few seconds.

Additionally:

• patients are provided with a protective lead apron that shields the body from radiation

• the doses used in dental diagnostics are many times lower than in other fields of medicine (e.g., full-body CT scans)

• X-rays are performed only when medically justified and necessary for an accurate diagnosis

X-ray examinations are also safe for children – of course, when carried out with the appropriate safety precautions.

• Take care of oral hygiene – brush your teeth before the appointment to help the dentist accurately assess the condition of your mouth.

• Gather medical documentation – if you have recent X-rays, CT scans, or information about past treatments (e.g., root canal therapy, surgeries), bring them with you.

• Write down symptoms and questions – if you experience pain, sensitivity, discomfort while chewing, or other issues, note them so nothing is overlooked during your visit.

• Prepare a list of medications – if you take regular medications or have chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension), inform your dentist.

• Report pregnancy – women who are pregnant should let the dentist know, as this may affect the scope of examinations (e.g., X-rays).

Yes – you can, and it is recommended to bring X-rays taken at another clinic.

Previously performed examinations help the dentist assess the condition of your teeth more quickly and plan treatment. It is important that the images are:

• up-to-date (usually no older than 6–12 months)

• clear and of good quality

• provided in electronic form (e.g., on a USB drive, CD, or by email) or as a printout

In some cases, however, the dentist may request new images if:

• the quality of the submitted images is insufficient

• more detailed diagnostics are required (e.g., CBCT scan)

• changes have occurred in the oral cavity since the previous examination

Bringing your existing documentation can shorten the diagnostic process and reduce the need for additional imaging.

The first visit should take place no later than around the child’s first birthday or after the eruption of the first tooth. Early prevention helps protect against cavities and gets the child accustomed to the dental office.

It’s a good idea to talk about the dentist in a positive way, avoiding words like “pain” or “drilling,” and to present the appointment as a natural part of taking care of health. At Prodental, we offer an “adaptation visit,” during which the child meets the dentist and becomes familiar with the surroundings without undergoing any procedures.

Yes. Baby teeth play an important role – they help with chewing, speaking, and maintaining space for permanent teeth. Untreated cavities can lead to pain, infection, and even bite problems.

Thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia, treatment is comfortable and painless. At Prodental, we also offer sedation – a method of reducing stress and dental anxiety using a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen (commonly known as laughing gas), administered through a special nasal mask. The patient remains conscious but relaxed.

• Treatment of cavities in baby and permanent teeth

• Fissure sealing

• Fluoride varnish application (fluoridation)

• Fillings with colorful composites

• Extraction of baby teeth

• Adaptation visits and oral hygiene instruction

It is a preventive procedure that protects the grooves of molars from cavities. It is usually applied to the first permanent teeth after they erupt – without drilling or pain.

Check-up appointments are recommended every 6 months, and for children with a high risk of cavities – even every 3–4 months.

• Brush teeth twice a day, starting from the eruption of the first tooth

• Use fluoride toothpaste appropriate for the child’s age

• Avoid sweet drinks and snacks

• Assist your child with toothbrushing until around the age of 7–8

Fear can be minimized with an adaptation visit, a positive attitude from the parents, and choosing a pediatric dentist experienced in working with young patients.

Yes – there are special colorful fillings for children that not only treat the tooth but also encourage the child to cooperate and perceive the visit as fun.

Treatment under general anesthesia means performing dental procedures while the patient is asleep, without feeling pain or stress.

General anesthesia is mainly used for:

• people with dentophobia (severe fear of dental treatment)

• children who do not cooperate during procedures

• patients with disabilities

• cases requiring long or complex treatment

Yes, procedures under general anesthesia are safe when performed by an experienced anesthesiology team. Every patient undergoes a detailed medical qualification before the procedure.

The patient should:

• be fasting (usually 6 hours without food and 2 hours without fluids)

• undergo the recommended tests (e.g., blood count, ECG)

• inform the doctor about all medications taken and any chronic conditions

After the procedure, the patient remains under observation – usually for a few hours. In most cases, they can return home the same day, but rest is recommended for 24–48 hours.

Under general anesthesia, it is possible to carry out, among others:

• comprehensive dental hygiene treatment

• cavity treatment

• root canal therapy

• tooth extractions

• surgical and implantology procedures

In most cases, treatment under general anesthesia in a private clinic is paid. In some situations (e.g., for children with disabilities), reimbursement may be available under the National Health Fund (NFZ) – it is worth asking about this at a specific facility.

Yes, very often comprehensive treatment of the entire oral cavity is performed during a single anesthesia session – this is a comfortable and effective solution for the patient.

It is worth visiting a prosthodontist whenever there is a loss of one or several teeth – regardless of the cause. Even a single missing tooth can affect not only the aesthetics of your smile but also the health of the entire oral cavity, your bite, and overall comfort of life.

The time required to complete a prosthetic restoration depends on the type of prosthetic work, the individual patient’s case, and the technology used. In most cases, the process takes from a few days to several weeks.

Yes – modern prosthetic restorations, with proper hygiene and regular check-ups, can last for many years.

Modern dentures are individually designed and can be very comfortable, especially when well-fitted and made from high-quality materials. An alternative is implant-supported dentures, which provide even greater stability – such as the All-On-X procedure.

Yes, in the case of traditional crowns and bridges, minimal grinding of the abutment teeth is necessary. An alternative is crowns or bridges on implants, which do not require intervention on neighboring teeth.

Absolutely yes. Aesthetic prosthetics make it possible to correct the shape, color, length, and alignment of teeth, as well as restore missing teeth in a natural and aesthetic way.

In the same way as natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing (or using a water flosser), check-ups every 6 months, and in the case of removable dentures – daily cleaning and proper storage.

Yes – prosthetics and implantology very often complement each other. Dental implants provide a stable foundation on which prosthetic restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures can be placed. This gives the patient a solution that:

• Restores full chewing function – the implant acts like a natural tooth root, while the prosthetic work rebuilds the missing crown portion,

• Ensures smile aesthetics – restorations are individually tailored to match the shape and color of the remaining teeth,

• Prevents bone loss – implants stimulate the bone tissue, which helps stop resorption,

• Provides comfort and durability – implant-based prosthetics are stable, do not shift, and do not require adhesives, unlike traditional removable dentures.

Modern dentistry offers extensive possibilities of combining implants with advanced prosthetics. This makes it possible to restore both a single tooth and entire dental arches (All-on-X) in an aesthetic, functional, and long-lasting way.

Most often when inflammation or necrosis of the dental pulp has occurred – as a result of deep caries, trauma, leaky fillings, or complications from previous treatment.

The microscope provides multiple magnification of the treatment area, allowing the dentist to clearly see the structure of the canals and detect additional canals, microcracks, or broken instruments.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so it is painless. The microscope additionally shortens the treatment time and reduces the risk of complications.

In most cases, root canal treatment under a microscope can be completed in a single visit, although in more complex cases 2–3 appointments may be required.

Yes. Microscope-assisted reendo, or repeat root canal treatment, makes it possible to save a tooth that was not properly treated the first time.

Severe toothache, sensitivity to heat or cold, gum swelling, tooth discoloration, pain when biting, or the presence of an abscess – these are the most common signs.

Yes – after properly performed root canal treatment and appropriate restoration (e.g., with a filling or crown), the tooth can continue to serve its function.

An oral hygiene session usually lasts between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on:

• the amount and extent of tartar buildup

• the patient’s sensitivity

• the scope of procedures performed (e.g., scaling only, or full hygiene: scaling + air polishing + polishing + fluoridation)

• individual needs and the condition of oral health

For a first visit or in cases of significant deposits, the procedure may take longer. Regular preventive treatments (every 6 months) are usually quicker and smoother.

Yes, anesthesia can be administered during a dental hygiene procedure, especially if the patient experiences discomfort or pain – for example in cases of:

• significant tartar buildup

• exposed tooth necks

• tooth sensitivity

• periodontal disease

The most common methods are:

• topical anesthetic gels or sprays – they work on the surface and are sufficient for moderate sensitivity

• local anesthetic injections – used when deeper anesthesia is required

It is important to inform the hygienist or dentist about your sensations – a hygiene procedure should be comfortable and painless.

It is recommended to undergo oral hygiene treatment regularly every 6 months.

In some cases, the frequency should be adjusted individually, for example:

• every 3–4 months – for people with periodontal disease, orthodontic appliances, implants, or a tendency to accumulate tartar

• every 6 months – for most people with proper oral hygiene and no risk factors

• once a year – in exceptional cases, when oral health is very good and no issues are present (always after consultation with a dentist or hygienist)

Regular hygiene treatments help to:

• remove tartar and bacterial plaque

• prevent cavities and gum disease

• maintain fresh breath and an aesthetic appearance of teeth

• extend the durability of fillings, crowns, and implants

The optimal hygiene schedule should be established with your dentist or licensed dental hygienist.

The most common symptoms are: toothache, sensitivity to heat or cold, enamel discoloration, cavities, and bad breath. It is worth seeing a dentist even with minor changes.

Thanks to modern methods and effective anesthesia, the procedures are usually painless and comfortable for the patient.

A high-quality filling can last for many years, even over a decade. However, its durability depends on the material used, oral hygiene, and regular check-ups.

The most commonly used are modern light-cured composites, which are both durable and aesthetic. The filling is always selected individually to meet the patient’s needs.

In the case of light-cured fillings, you can eat almost immediately after the procedure, although it is recommended to wait about 1 hour, especially if anesthesia was used.

You should maintain daily hygiene (brushing, flossing), avoid hard foods immediately after the procedure, and attend regular dental check-ups (every 6 months).

Yes, old or unaesthetic fillings can be safely replaced with modern composite materials, color-matched to the natural tooth.

The first orthodontic consultation for a child should take place around the age of 7, when the first permanent teeth appear. However, orthodontic treatment can be started at any age, including adulthood.

Yes – adult orthodontics is very popular today. Modern methods (e.g., aesthetic braces, Invisalign aligners) allow effective and discreet treatment of malocclusions in adults as well.

• fixed metal braces – traditional and very effective

• aesthetic braces (ceramic or sapphire) – less visible

• self-ligating braces – more comfortable and faster treatment

• removable braces – mainly used in children

• clear aligners (e.g., Invisalign) – transparent, removable, and comfortable

The duration of treatment depends on the type of malocclusion and the chosen method. It usually lasts between 12 and 24 months, and longer in more complex cases. The exact treatment time is determined by the orthodontist during the consultation.

Getting braces fitted is not painful, but in the first few days after placement or after adjustments, there may be slight discomfort or a feeling of pressure, which subsides quickly.

For fixed braces – usually every 4–6 weeks. For aligner treatment – check-ups may be less frequent, but their timing is determined individually by the orthodontist.

Yes – wearing braces requires greater attention to hygiene, as plaque tends to accumulate more easily. It is important to brush regularly and use orthodontic floss, interdental brushes, or a water flosser.

Yes – after completing orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to maintain the results with a retainer. It can be fixed (bonded to the teeth) or removable.

No – orthodontic treatment also improves chewing function, speech, facial profile, and reduces the risk of cavities, periodontal disease, and temporomandibular joint problems.
