Teeth Cleaning and Polishing
Maintaining oral hygiene is essential for healthy teeth and gums. Pigmentations from food, drinks, or tobacco, along with plaque and tartar buildup, can lead to dental and gum diseases such as cavities or periodontitis. Regular cleaning and polishing remove deposits and bacteria, preserving dental health and preventing complications.
AIR FLOW® Method – Dental Sandblasting
The AIR FLOW® method uses a fine stream of sodium bicarbonate particles sprayed with water and compressed air. This procedure effectively removes plaque and stains from the surface of teeth and prevents further buildup. After treatment, teeth appear shiny, polished, and less prone to plaque accumulation.
How Often Should Teeth Be Cleaned?
Professional cleaning and polishing are recommended twice a year. For individuals with gum bleeding, excessive plaque or tartar buildup, or susceptibility to periodontal diseases, more frequent cleanings and a personalized oral hygiene plan may be necessary.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that uses peroxide-based gels to remove stains and lighten the tooth color. This procedure is popular among patients looking to refresh and enhance their smile.
Whitening Methods:
- External Whitening – The gel is applied to the outer surface of the teeth and activated with a light source (laser or Beyond lamp). The procedure is quick, and results are visible immediately after treatment. Alternatively, patients can use custom-made whitening trays at home.
- Internal Whitening – Recommended for teeth that have changed color due to trauma or improper root canal treatment. Hydrogen peroxide gel is applied inside the tooth, which is then sealed for several days to allow the gel to work.
Whitening Results
Whitening can lighten teeth by two to three shades, depending on the initial tooth color and the whitening method used. It’s important to note that whitening results vary from person to person and depend on tooth structure, lifestyle habits, and the whitening product used.

Veneers
Veneers are thin layers of ceramic or composite material placed on the front surface of teeth to improve smile aesthetics. This procedure corrects the shape, color, size, or length of teeth. Veneers are a popular solution for patients seeking a perfect smile with minimal invasiveness.
Why Choose Veneers?
Veneers are an excellent solution for patients with:
- Discolored teeth – Teeth that have changed color due to trauma, medications, or other factors.
- Irregular tooth shape – Teeth that are too short, too long, or misshaped.
- Minor enamel damage – Small cracks or imperfections in the enamel.
- Gaps between teeth – Correction of gaps (diastema) between teeth.
Veneer Procedure:
- First Consultation – The dentist assesses the condition of the teeth and discusses desired changes with the patient.
- Tooth Preparation – A minimal amount of enamel (about 0.5 mm) is removed to make room for the veneers. This process is gentle and often does not require anesthesia.
- Impression and Veneer Fabrication – After preparation, an impression is taken, and veneers are custom-made from high-quality ceramic.
- Veneer Placement – Once ready, the veneers are bonded to the teeth using a strong adhesive, ensuring long-term durability and stability.
Non-Prep Veneers
Non-prep veneers are an advanced technique for aesthetic correction of teeth without or with minimal preparation. This method is ideal for patients who want to enhance their smile without invasive procedures.
Advantages of Veneers:
- Minimal tooth reduction.
- A natural appearance that mimics the shine and translucency of natural enamel.
- Long-lasting and stain-resistant.

Gingivoplasty
Gingivoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gum line to achieve a symmetrical and natural-looking smile. This procedure is performed for both aesthetic and functional reasons and is commonly used to correct excessive gum exposure (“gummy smile”) or uneven gums.
Who is a Candidate for Gingivoplasty?
Gingivoplasty is suitable for patients who:
- Have asymmetrical or excessively exposed gums.
- Want to improve the aesthetics of their smile.
- Have gum deformities caused by genetic factors.
Gingivoplasty Procedure:
- Preparation – Before the procedure, a professional dental cleaning is performed to remove plaque and prevent infection.
- Surgery – Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure may involve a scalpel, laser, or electrosurgical devices to reshape the gum line.
- Recovery – After the procedure, patients are advised to avoid brushing the treated area for a few days and to use mouth rinses. Healing occurs within a few weeks, providing a permanent aesthetic improvement.
Advantages of Gingivoplasty:
- Improved smile aesthetics.
- Symmetrical and natural-looking gums.
- Quick recovery with minimal discomfort.
