Aesthetic Tooth Reconstruction: Restore Beauty and Function to Your Smile

Aesthetic reconstruction of a tooth, or even the entire dentition, is a set of dental procedures aimed at restoring the shape, color, size, position and overall function of damaged or aesthetically unsatisfactory teeth. The goal is not only to repair visible defects, but to create a harmonious and natural-looking smile that is in harmony with the patient’s facial features and at the same time fully functional when biting and speaking. It is therefore not just a „cosmetic“ treatment, but a comprehensive care that takes into account both aesthetics and the health and function of the teeth and jaws. At Dobrý Dent, we approach each reconstruction individually in order to achieve the optimal result for a specific patient. This approach includes careful planning and the use of the most modern materials and techniques that guarantee long-term durability and a natural appearance of the treated teeth. We understand that every tooth and every smile is unique, which is why we pay maximum attention to the details that lead to perfection.

There are a number of situations where patients seek aesthetic reconstruction options. The most common reasons include:

• Tooth decay: Larger cavities that cannot be treated with a regular filling, or old, unsuitable amalgam fillings that spoil the aesthetics of the smile. Modern materials allow the creation of „white fillings“ that are indistinguishable from natural tooth tissue.
• Tooth injuries: Broken, chipped or cracked teeth due to an accident or sports injury require quick and precise repair to restore shape and function.
• Tooth wear: Teeth grinding (bruxism), abrasion (mechanical wear) or erosion (chemical damage to the enamel, e.g. by acidic drinks) can lead to shortening of the teeth, loss of enamel and a change in the bite. Reconstruction helps restore the original height and shape of the teeth.
• Tooth discoloration: Internal tooth discoloration (e.g., after root canal treatment, taking certain medications in childhood) or severe external pigmentation that cannot be removed by bleaching can be effectively addressed with veneers or crowns.
• Gaps between teeth (diastema): Unaesthetic gaps, especially between front teeth, can be closed with composite materials, veneers, or orthodontic treatment as part of a comprehensive reconstruction.
• Improper tooth shape or size: Too small, short, pointed, or otherwise atypically shaped teeth can be adjusted to the desired shape and size.
• Mild anomalies in tooth position: In some cases, minor irregularities in tooth position can be corrected with aesthetic veneers without the need for long-term orthodontic treatment treatment.
• Tooth loss: Missing teeth not only impair aesthetics, but also have a negative impact on chewing function and can lead to shifts of surrounding teeth. The solution is dental bridges or dental implants.

If you are struggling with any of the above problems, do not hesitate to contact us at Dobrý Dent. Our specialists will assess your situation and suggest the most suitable aesthetic reconstruction procedure for you.

Modern dentistry offers a wide range of methods and materials that allow you to achieve excellent aesthetic results. At Dobrý Dent, we use only proven and biocompatible materials of the highest quality. The choice of a specific method depends on the extent of damage, the location of the tooth, the patient’s requirements and financial capabilities.

Most commonly used methods:

• Aesthetic (white) photocomposite fillings: Ideal for repairing small and medium-sized cavities or minor defects (e.g. a broken corner of a tooth). Modern photocomposite materials perfectly imitate the color and structure of a natural tooth and are applied directly in the office during one visit. Thanks to the layering technique, we achieve highly aesthetic and durable results.
• Ceramic inlays, onlays, overlays: They are used in cases of extensive damage to the tooth crown due to decay or injury, when it is no longer possible to make a classic filling, but at the same time it is not necessary to grind the tooth down to a crown. These are indirect restorations made in a laboratory (or using CAD/CAM technology directly in the office) based on an accurate impression or 3D scan. They are highly durable, aesthetic and fit exactly on the tooth.
• Ceramic veneers: Thin slices of ceramic (usually 0.3 – 0.7 mm), which are glued to the front surfaces of the teeth (most often incisors and canines). They allow you to radically change the color, shape, size and partly even the position of the teeth. They are ideal for correcting discoloration, gaps, minor damage or unsightly tooth shapes. They require minimal or no grinding of the tooth and provide a long-term stable and highly aesthetic result. At Dobrý Dent, we work with the highest quality ceramic materials to achieve maximum naturalness.
• All-ceramic crowns: Replace the entire visible part of the tooth in cases where the tooth is significantly damaged by decay, injury, or after endodontic treatment (root canal treatment). Modern all-ceramic materials (e.g. zirconium oxide, lithium disilicate) are extremely strong and at the same time highly aesthetic, without the dark metal showing through, as was the case with older metal-ceramic crowns. They perfectly imitate the natural appearance of the tooth, including its translucency (translucency).
• Dental bridges: A solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of crowns placed on the surrounding (ground) teeth, which serve as pillars, and pontic elements replacing the lost teeth. Modern bridges are most often made of all-ceramics to achieve optimal aesthetics and functionality.
• Dental implants: They represent the most modern and physiological way to replace a lost tooth. A titanium screw (implant) is surgically inserted into the jawbone, where it serves as an artificial root. After healing, a crown or bridge is placed on it. Implants provide maximum comfort, aesthetics and function without the need to grind the surrounding healthy teeth. At Dobrý Dent, we perform implantological procedures using 3D CBCT diagnostics for precise planning and safe execution.

We emphasize an individual approach and careful planning of each treatment. The process of aesthetic reconstruction with us usually includes the following steps:

1. Introductory consultation and diagnostics: The first step is a thorough consultation, during which we listen to your wishes and expectations. We will perform a comprehensive examination of the condition of your teeth, including taking X-rays (if necessary, also 3D CBCT for a detailed view of bone structures and planning implants). For precise planning of aesthetic adjustments, we use a modern 3D intraoral scanner, which replaces the unpleasant impression and allows us to create a digital model of your teeth.
2. Treatment plan proposal: Based on the diagnosis and your requirements, we will draw up an individual treatment plan. We will explain the proposed procedures, materials used, the time schedule and the financial budget to you in detail. We often use digital visualization (Digital Smile Design) so that you can see the expected result of the reconstruction in advance.
3. Preparatory phase: Before the reconstruction itself, it is often necessary to perform dental hygiene, treat any cavities or gingivitis, or perform teeth whitening, if part of the plan.
4. Implementation of the reconstruction: We perform our own reconstruction procedures with maximum precision and care. We use an operating microscope when working, which allows us to see even the smallest details and work with multiple magnifications, which is key to a perfect result and a long service life of the restorations. For your maximum comfort, we use a modern system of computer-controlled local anesthesia STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia), which ensures painless administration of anesthetic and anesthesia of only the necessary area without the unpleasant feeling of stiffness of the lip or face.
5. Selection of materials and cooperation with the laboratory: We carefully select the color and shape of the restorations so that they perfectly match your other teeth and facial features. We cooperate only with renowned dental laboratories that use the highest quality certified materials and modern technologies to create precise and aesthetically perfect works.
6. Fixation of restorations and finishing: We carefully test the finished veneers, crowns, bridges or other restorations and, after your approval, finally fix them using special adhesive materials. We will perform final bite adjustments and polishing.
7. Instructions and Aftercare: After the reconstruction is complete, we will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your new teeth and schedule regular check-ups and dental hygiene visits, which are key to maintaining your long-term results.
