SMILE
DC DENTAL, DENTAL IMPLANT AND DENTAL CROWN SPECIALIST IN THE BRUSSELS-CAPITAL REGION
In addition to your daily dental care requirements, we can also take care of your dental surgery needs. Have you just had a tooth extracted? This dreaded operation, which we use as a last resort, may be necessary if your tooth is too damaged or broken. But don't panic, our national healthcare dentists will restore your smile's full radiance, thanks to the dental implants and prosthetics!
Once the shape or function of a tooth is repaired, we generally apply a dental crown. This is a hollow artificial tooth that covers the damaged tooth. This repair is both functional and cosmetic: it will optimise your smile, while also helping you to chew better. Crowns are often required in cases where the tooth enamel is badly stained, after a root canal treatment, or to cover a damaged tooth.
The implant is the screw on which the prosthesis is fixed. It replaces the tooth root. The prosthesis is fixed on an implant or on natural teeth
The different types of prostheses
For a part of a tooth:
-
the inlay which replaces part of the tooth
-
the partial dental crown onlay
For a single tooth:
-
the crown which is directly attached to the tooth
-
the crown on implant
For several adjacent teeth:
the bridge which is fixed on implants
the bridge fixed on the teeth
partial removable prosthesis
For the whole jaw:
the complete prosthesis on implants (at least 4 implants)
removable dentures
Dental bridge
If you are missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge is essential to avoid the surrounding teeth moving into the free space, and to avoid any problems connected with the extraction of a tooth. Also known as a "bridge", this prosthetic consists of an artificial tooth fixed between two crowns. It is supported by the healthy teeth next to the space where one or more teeth are missing.
For an even smile and a jaw that is ready to take big bites out of life, we advise you to make an appointment with one of our dental prosthetitians!
