A Dental implant is a surgical component that integrates with the bone of the jaw to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge or a denture. It is a method of replacing single or multiple missing teeth. The type of implant system we use is a German system called "Anyklos ", known to be one of the best implant systems nowadays.

Is a fixed dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth (or several teeth) by joining an artificial tooth permanently to adjacent teeth or dental implants.

Teeth usually require fillings if they have undergone tooth decay or got fractured. After removal of decay the tooth has to be filled with a durable restoration. In our clinic we do not use silver fillings (image on top) we only use tooth colored restorations/composite fillings. If tooth decay is neglected it could reach the root canal in the center of the tooth and consequently will need root canal therapy.
Is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). It's also known as 'endodontics'. The infection is caused by bacteria that live in the mouth and invade the tooth.
