Aesthetic and Prosthetic Dentistry

The clinic specializes in Smile Design with techniques that preserve natural tooth structure. A signature approach is no-prep veneers, which require no tooth shaving. These ultra-thin E-max veneers are about 0.3 mm thick, so aesthetic changes need no invasive preparation.

The dental team provides a variety of restorative options:

• Laminate veneers and natural laminate veneers
• Zirconia veneers for high-strength restorations
• Composite bonding applications
• Invisalign treatment using digitally planned, transparent aligners
• Teeth whitening procedures

For patients needing full-arch restoration, the clinic offers implant-supported prosthetics. All-on-4 and All-on-6 concepts replace entire rows of teeth using a fixed bridge attached to dental implants.

Advanced Gum Treatments

The practice integrates "pink aesthetics" so the gum line complements dental restorations. Specialists use laser gum treatment for contouring and lifting gingival tissue. This approach is often painless and frequently performed without anesthesia.

Laser technology also treats periodontal infections and deep pockets. The laser targets inflamed areas to disinfect tissue and speed healing compared to traditional surgery. Most patients return to daily routines the same day. Full recovery takes just a few days.

Pediatric Dental Care

The clinic offers pedodontics for children aged 0 to 13 years. This service protects both milk teeth and permanent teeth from early decay or hereditary issues. Specialists manage problems from caries and trauma to ensure healthy dental development.

International Patient Support

The clinic has a dedicated service flow for overseas visitors. A team of six doctors offers consultations in English, Russian, Arabic, and German. Available amenities include:

• Free online consultations for initial treatment planning
• VIP services for logistical support
• Digital appointment scheduling

Patients receive visual explanations of procedures before arrival to understand the expected timeline. The clinic uses digital planning tools for Invisalign and smile design, ensuring accuracy for patients traveling from abroad.
