Make an appointment for a check-up with the dentist, optionally combined with the prevention assistant, and have your teeth examined preventively. Among other things, the dentist will remove plaque and tartar, check your teeth for cavities (caries) and, where necessary, assess the health of your mouth with the help of X-rays. Based on this, a personalised treatment plan is drawn up, and you will have every opportunity to discuss your wishes and requirements with the dentist or assistant.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is general dentistry?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

General dentistry covers all treatments that form the basis of a healthy set of teeth. This includes the routine check-up and dental cleaning, but also filling cavities. The findings of the oral examination form the basis for any follow-up treatments needed to achieve a healthy and aesthetically pleasing smile.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your first visit<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

During your first visit, the intake, you meet the dentist, dental hygienist and prevention assistant, an oral examination is carried out and X-rays may be taken. During this examination we discuss the condition of your teeth and draw up a personalised treatment plan,\u00a0<\/span>taking into account<\/span>\u00a0your wishes and financial situation.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Routine check-up<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Depending on the condition of your teeth, we\u00a0determine\u00a0the interval for your dental check-ups.\u00a0Usually\u00a0the routine check-up takes place every six months, although it may also be once a year. During the check-up we examine your teeth carefully and take X-rays if needed. We also update your personalised treatment plan, taking your wishes into account.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Your gums<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

An important part of the check-up visit is examining your gums. We look at the colour and shape of the gums and, where necessary, give you instructions to improve your oral hygiene and oral health. An early diagnosis and\u00a0timely\u00a0treatment are essential to relieve complaints and prevent serious problems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you suffer from red or bleeding gums, for example? Please contact us to make an appointment. The dentist will assess your teeth and draw up a treatment plan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Composite fillings<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Composite is a tooth-coloured filling material made from glass particles and synthetic resin. We use this filling material to repair cavities in teeth and molars. Composite filling material can bond to enamel and dentine, so that as much of your own tooth tissue as possible is preserved. In addition, teeth and molars are strengthened by the bond between your own tooth tissue and the filling material. Composite is ideally suited to aesthetic treatments, such as widening teeth to fill gaps or lengthening teeth in the case of dental wear.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Follow-up treatments<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Based on your first visit, a personalised treatment plan is drawn up. This describes step by step which treatments need to be carried out to achieve a healthy and aesthetically desirable result. These include general as well as cosmetic and restorative treatments, such as:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
