Q&A

Answered by Dr. Georgios Chatzopoulos

When can I get a permanent crown placement after RCT?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Crown failures often indicate a caries progression below the tooth. The supporting tooth substance, which is infected by caries, can no longer resist the forces of mastication, and they tend to crack, break, and fail. The tooth decay must be removed entirely to protect the tooth.

How can I change my teeth color to white permanently?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The teeth color is a result of genetics, nutrition and other habits such as smoking. If your teeth are healthy overall and caries free and you brush twice per day, teeth whitening can be performed but it lasts for about six months to two years. Permanent teeth whitening can be accomplished by putting on veneers (resin or porcelain) or crowns on your six front teeth. This can be done in a dentist's office.

How does the palate appear after using schwarz appliance?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As a part of our body, palate comes in many shapes and sizes. It may be deeper, more shallow, flatter and it may include a torus palatinus. This appliance, which, you are using now, modifies your palate and it helps to erase some orthodontic problems. As long as the age is concerned, when the body growth ends, the palate gains a standard size, and this application can make it flatter than it is used to be.

The long-term and permanent solution is to fight the reason that causes halitosis (the scientific term for bad breath).
