Usually people are infected by caries since the first teeth erupt. For example, a child may get disease-causing bacteria from close relatives. There are two types of dental caries. The first one does not need any treatment, because in early stage of dental caries, the teeth have self-healing capacity. It means that at this stage dental caries, the tooth does not require treatment, but monitoring by the dentist. On other cases, the teeth need immediate treatment. Untreated dental caries can cause painful inflammation of the dental nerve, and it is not exception to remove infected teeth.

Dental implants are used to replace lost teeth or teeth with a hopeless prognosis. Implants can replace single lost teeth, also they are used as a support to a bridge. They help to restore the entire fixed occlusion of an upper or lower jaw and support an overdenture.
To install the implants, the first step is a complete examination of teeth and mouth. The dentist will assess condition of the jawbone considering the specifics of the operation. Then, X-rays and other diagnostic measures are used to explore jawbone quality and to determine the location of the implant. After that, the models and individual operation templates are prepared to place the implant exactly to the right place in the jawbone.
Implantation is a surgical procedure, which is generally done on an outpatient and with local anaesthesia. A screw is placed into the jawbone and after osseointegration it will replace the root of a missing tooth. A special attachment element called abutment is placed on the implant. This will link the screw attached to the bone and the tooth crown in the oral cavity.

During the meetings it will be decided which dentures are used – either fixed (laboratory fillings, laminate veneers, lumineers, crowns or bridges), removable (removable dentures, bugel dentures, total dentures or flex-part dentures) or combined dentures. Also the material will be decided – ceramic materials, metal alloys, plastics or composites.
The teeth might change colour over time due to consumed food and drinks. For example red wine, coffee, tea and smoking can drastically change the colour of the teeth.
