Composite restorations are used to replace minor to moderate losses of dental tissue. They are commonly employed to repair a fractured tooth, for example following trauma.
Composite resins are hand-sculpted by Dr Marin Pomperski. Multiple layers of varying shades and translucency are applied successively to replicate as closely as possible the optical behaviour of natural teeth. Internal stains may also be used to enhance realism. These restorations restore both the function and aesthetics of the teeth.
We are committed to using only the safest materials (for instance, free of Bisphenol A (BPA)) offering optimal aesthetic and mechanical performance. Composite restorations are suitable for small to medium-sized defects. As they age more quickly than ceramic, they require good hygiene and maintenance. When necessary, they can be easily replaced after a few years or substituted with ceramic veneers, for example.
Endodontic treatment, also known as root canal therapy, consists of cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the tooth’s infected canals. It may be carried out as a first-line procedure, or repeated when an initial treatment becomes re-infected, for example due to the occurrence of a new cavity several years later — in which case it is referred to as retreatment.
Access may be conventional (through the tooth) or surgical (via the side of the root, beneath the gum) under local anaesthesia. With the advancement of knowledge and the development of high-technology instruments (such as operating microscopes), the practice of endodontics has become highly specialised in recent years. Dr Marin Pomperski has chosen not to perform endodontics himself. Instead, we work in close collaboration with distinguished practitioners who practise endodontics exclusively.
Inlays, onlays, and overlays are bespoke restorations fabricated in a dental laboratory, designed to replace a loss of dental tissue ranging from moderate to extensive. These restorations are partial fragments of the tooth and are named according to the part(s) being replaced.
An inlay is an insertion within part of the tooth. An onlay is an insertion covering part of the tooth. An overlay is an insertion that covers the entire chewing surface of the tooth. These restorations may be made of composite or ceramic and are bonded under an isolated operative field. We systematically use the safest and most appropriate biomaterials. All our work is produced in France by renowned artisan Master Dental Technicians.
There are many types of mouthguards, each serving one or several different functions. These custom-made medical devices protect the teeth of athletes (contact sports such as rugby, boxing, etc.) or patients who grind their teeth (bruxism). They also improve breathing, helping to optimise athletic performance and combat sleep apnoea. Other types of mouthguards are designed to correct tooth position: these are known as orthodontic aligners.
All our mouthguards are tailor-made in France by our artisan Master Dental Technicians, and our aligners are also individually designed and fabricated using the Invisalign® system.
