The World Health Organization (WHO) previously recommended professional oral hygiene every 6 months. Now, with the advent of new technologies and methods of professional oral hygiene, new more modern and atraumatic devices, more gentle and safe powders for air-flow and polishing pastes, professional oral hygiene can and should be performed once every 3-4 months. Hygiene will be simpler (without the use of an ultrasonic scaler) and faster, as this way you will not allow the plaque to accumulate and turn into hard dental calculus.

Professional hygiene in the presence of orthodontic structures in the oral cavity needs to be done a little more often than regular hygiene, as dental deposits are fixed on the brackets and ligatures much more strongly and it is not always possible to thoroughly clean all the structures at home.

You need to start caring for your teeth with the appearance of the first milk tooth. Definitely with a brush and paste with fluoride of at least 1000 Ппм. Forget about the fingertip.

Indications for the use of an ultrasonic scaler:

✔ presence of supragingival dental calculus;
✔ presence of subgingival dental calculus;
✔ presence of dense black pigmented plaque in the cervical area.

Contraindications for the use of an ultrasonic scaler:

✔ presence of a pacemaker;
✔ presence of infectious diseases;
✔ bronchial asthma;
✔ oncological diseases;
✔ epilepsy;
✔ heart diseases.

During pregnancy, the body of the expectant mother undergoes many changes and transformations. All the useful microelements and vitamins are now spent not only for her, but at least half of them go to her baby. Therefore, it is so important to constantly maintain the vitamin and mineral balance and monitor the hygiene of the oral cavity during this period with double the effort! Regular preventive examinations and cleanings will help preserve the health of both the gums and the teeth!

We work with the two top systems: Strauman and Astra.
We don't divide them by cost, because different implants are suitable for different anatomical conditions. The implant is selected by the doctor, for a certain axis, for certain conditions, depending on the indications for implantation, the cost remains the same.

✔ blood diseases;
✔ ischemic heart disease;
✔ hypertension;
✔ diseases of the central nervous system;
✔ diabetes mellitus;
✔ oncological diseases;
✔ severe forms of periodontal diseases;
✔ patient age under 16 years;
✔ systemic connective tissue diseases;
✔ tuberculosis;
✔ poor individual oral hygiene.

Modern professional whitening systems are 100% safe for the enamel, since only the organic pigment in the enamel tubules is involved in the chemical reaction of the whitening procedure, the enamel itself remains untouched.

All contraindications to whitening are divided into 2 groups:

1. Absolute: pregnancy, allergy to hydrogen peroxide, age under 16, decompensated diabetes.

2. Relative: increased enamel sensitivity, multiple caries, restorations and orthopedic structures on the frontal group of teeth, lactation period, temporomandibular joint diseases, smoking and poor individual oral hygiene.

If you properly prepare the enamel for the whitening procedure, the process itself will be 100% safe and as painless as possible! All the systems presented at LUMINA are American professional whitening systems, so it is important to follow the AMERICAN PROTOCOL with proper preparation for teeth whitening!

Ideal preparation for whitening includes 3 stages:
✔ professional oral hygiene;
✔ professional enamel restoration;
✔ home remineralization of teeth.

The home whitening course lasts from 10 to 14 days. The effect begins to appear from the 5th day of the course. Depending on the concentration of the gel and the condition of the enamel, the time spent in the trays at home will be selected.

After the whitening procedure, the enamel becomes more permeable and sometimes sensitive, so the following recommendations should be followed:

✔ follow the rules of the "white diet": do not consume drinks and products containing coloring substances (coffee, black tea, carbonated drinks, bright berries, beets, soy sauce, etc.) for 7-14 days;
✔ do not smoke! for 7-14 days;
✔ drink more water to avoid enamel dehydration;
✔ use professional whitening protective products for teeth (pastes, foams, rinses);
✔ use remineralizing products at home to saturate the enamel with moisture and mineral components;
✔ use a professional home whitening system to consolidate and achieve the most bright, even and long-lasting result.

White Insurance is a unique color insurance program for teeth that LUMINA offers to its guests! We guarantee the color of your teeth for 3 years, provided that:

✔ you follow the recommendations of your hygienist;
✔ you undergo professional hygiene at least once every 70-90 days. This way you can control the amount of plaque on the tooth surface, avoiding color change and the appearance of caries! If, while following all the conditions, the color of the teeth changes by more than 2 shades, we will return the color back!

Before starting orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to carry out a complete sanation of the oral cavity, including the treatment of caries, the removal of diseased teeth (if any), and professional oral hygiene.

The presence of orthodontic structures in the oral cavity significantly complicates self-cleaning in the oral cavity. There are more hard-to-reach places, and often, when removing braces at the end of treatment, the patient may find a huge number of carious cavities and enamel lesions in the oral cavity. Therefore, we strongly recommend increasing the frequency of visits to the hygienist!

Professional hygiene in the presence of orthodontic structures in the oral cavity needs to be done a little more often than regular hygiene, as dental deposits are fixed on the brackets and ligatures much more strongly and it is not always possible to thoroughly clean all the structures at home.

Braces are fixed to the teeth using a special glue that not only does not have a negative effect on the enamel, but also has protective properties. However, plaque can periodically accumulate around the braces, which is harmful to the enamel and is one of the reasons for the occurrence of caries. Therefore, the most important thing in orthodontic treatment is maintaining oral hygiene.

In adults, treatment is carried out using non-removable techniques (bracket systems). The conditions for tooth movement: the ligamentous apparatus of the tooth (periodontium), bone tissue and the tooth itself. With the presence of these structures, teeth can be moved at any age. The global trend in orthodontics is an increase in the age of patients. This is due to the growth of technologies and the increase in aesthetic requirements.

After the end of orthodontic treatment, the retention period begins - the final stage of treatment. It is necessary to consolidate the obtained results. For this, fixed retainers (a special thin wire that is attached to the inner surface of the teeth and is absolutely not felt) and a retention cap for night wear are used.
