Dentistry is no longer just a case of filling and extracting teeth, as it was for many years. Nowadays, many people turn to cosmetic dentistry, or ‘aesthetic dentistry’, as a way of improving their appearance, much as they would use cosmetic surgery or even a new hairstyle. The treatments can be used to straighten, lighten, reshape and repair teeth. Cosmetic treatments include veneers, crowns, bridges, tooth-coloured fillings, implants and tooth whitening.

Our Surgeon is Michael Karolewski and he is a Poland based dentist with nearly 20 years experience. He specialises in all forms of Cosmetic and Reconstructive Dentistry such as veneers, tooth whitening and dental implants. His wife Eva is also a dentist, at the same clinic specialising in Gum reshaping. Not only will you receive the same high standard and professional service as any of the dental clinics in the UK, you will save up to 50% of the cost by choosing to have your procedures in Poland. For example dental implants in the UK can cost £1,500 per implant compared with £600 per implant with our surgeon. The main Procedures we offer are Porcelain Veneers, composite veneers, Tooth Whitening, Implants, Gum Alteration (to correct a gummy smile), Root Canals and Bridges. COMPOSITE VENEERS (£80/TOOTH)
We need only one visit to change of your smile. No drilling, no pain, low costs. No risk your natural teeth are not drilled down so the veneer can be removed! We can always change it next day if you don't like it. And if you like it - it will last for years!
Creating veneers out of dental bonding is a technique that has been around since the 1960's. As years and decades have passed the manufacturers of dental composite (the restorative used with tooth bonding technique) have greatly improved its characteristics, both functional and aesthetic. Without question in the hands of a skilful dentist, dental composite can be used to create beautiful and natural looking veneers.
1) Dental veneers made using cosmetic bonding (dental composite) usually cost less than porcelain veneers. Dental composite veneers are placed in just one visit whereas porcelain veneers require two appointments (and therefore likely more of the dentist's time). When making porcelain veneers a dentist will incur a bill from the laboratory technician who has made the veneer, whereas with tooth bonding it is the dentist who creates the veneer.
2) Dental composite veneers can be repaired if they break.
Unlike porcelain veneers, if a dental composite veneer does chip or break a dentist can usually repair it. And in most cases they can probably make the repair by just patching the dental bonding in that portion of the veneer where the fracture has occurred, as opposed to replacing the entire veneer.
Although repair is easier with dental composite veneers, their need for maintenance might be greater than with porcelain veneers. Lying at the core of dental composite composition is a plastic. And although manufactures do add components to their composites that significantly enhance their wear resistance, wear still does occur. A person may notice that over time the outline shape of their composite veneer has changed (especially on its biting edge) due to wear. In comparison porcelain is relatively more wear resistant, and therefore one would expect a porcelain veneer to hold its original outline form better over the long term.
Before: a narrow & gummy smile and cracked incisors. After: composite veneers on front teeth to make them longer and to repair cracks. A composite veneer has been added to the fourth tooth on either side to make the smile wider. Price = 4 x £80 = £320. Correction of gummy smile £400.
PORCELAIN VENEERS (£275/TOOTH)
For a Hollywood smile Porcelain veneers are the best. Your natural teeth are drilled down, which has the advange that teeth which may look crooked and slightly out of line can be corrected so to produce a perfectly straight set of teeth. They are strong and can be used to make the teeth look really white, but this is up to the individual.
Veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones) generally. A veneer can make a chipped tooth look intact again. The porcelain covers the whole of the front of the tooth with a thicker section replacing the broken part. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others. We only use the best quality materials for the porcelain veneers and our dentist works as a lecturer at Wroclaw University, training other dentist in Europe.
Benefits: permanent effect, a wide range of colours and shapes to choose from according to patient’s wishes, minimal invasion while cutting teeth when making zircon veneers and crowns. If you would like porcelain veneers please send pictures of your teeth by email to europesurgery@yahoo.co.uk
FULL PORCELIAN Crown £320
A beautiful porcelain crown has the advantage that there is no black line at the top of the tooth. (This is sometimes visible on NHS metal veneers) Besides the functional requirements, the porcelain crown on a front tooth will have to look perfect in order to blend in with the other teeth. Especially in the case of a single front tooth, not only does it require an exceptional amount of skill by the cosmetic dentist and the laboratory technician, but it requires a great deal of time to get a perfect match with an adjacent front tooth. It may require special photographic work and several trips back and forth to the lab to get a perfect match.
Before discoloured, uneven teeth. After porcelain crowns and veneers. LASER TOOTH WHITENING (£324 BIO WHITE FOR FULL MOUTH)
Teeth whitening is the process of removing stains and discolouration from teeth and improving their colour through a bleaching process to make them look “whiter”. There are a number of reasons why you might get your teeth whitened. Everyone is different; and just as our hair and skin colour vary, so do our teeth. Very few people have brilliant-white teeth, and our teeth can also become more discoloured as we get older. Your teeth can also be stained on the surface through food and drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine and blackcurrant. Smoking can also stain teeth. Calculus or tartar can also affect the colour of teeth. Some people may have staining under the surface, which can be caused by certain antibiotics or tiny cracks in the teeth which take up stains.
We offer both conventional and laser tooth whitening (bio white). In carrying out laser tooth whitening the dentist applies a gel to your teeth, and then uses a laser light to activate the crystals in the gel. A rubber dam is placed over your gums to protect them. Laser whitening treatment may take around 60 to 90 minutes.
IMPLANTS (STRAUMANN £840 or DENTAL RADIO SYSTEM £600/IMPLANT)
A dental implant is a titanium metal rod which is placed into the jawbone. It is used to support one or more false teeth. In practice, both the false teeth and their supporting rod are known as ‘implants’. Implants are a well-established, tried-and-tested treatment. Over 95 per cent of modern implants should last for many years with the right care. Placing the implants needs a small operation. This can be done using a simple local anaesthetic, and sometimes with sedation if you are very nervous. Sometimes the dentist needs to use a general anaesthetic for complex cases. You will not feel any pain at the time, but you may feel some discomfort during the week after the surgery. This is usually due to having stitches, and the normal healing process.
