Modern dentistry in Dnipro

At Dr. Khotimsky Dentistry dentures are made by several different methods, chosen according to the condition of the mouth and the patient's own wishes.

Fixed prosthetics:

• metal-ceramic crowns and bridges
• all-ceramic, metal-free work
• ceramic inlays
• veneers

Removable prosthetics, including clasp (bugel) dentures.

Implantation — an implant is placed where the tooth root was, and a crown or a bridge is mounted on it.

See a dentist at the very first sign of trouble in the mouth:

• pain in the teeth or gums
• loose teeth
• bleeding
• swelling
• bad breath
• heavy plaque and tartar deposits

There can be several causes:

• mechanical damage
• inadequate oral hygiene
• a malocclusion
• badly placed fillings or dentures
• chronic conditions such as diabetes or endocrine disorders

Do not put problems in the mouth off. Book a first appointment at Dr. Khotimsky Dentistry, get treated, and breathe easier.

Dentistry has gradually turned from a craft into an art. Not long ago dentists were mainly concerned with treatment; today people's natural wish to look better places far higher aesthetic demands on dental work, and asks of the clinician a finer and gentler hand.

The doctors at Dr. Khotimsky Dentistry are painter, sculptor and jeweller in one. Before modelling the anatomical shape of a tooth in the patient's mouth, the dentist calculates the work precisely — every detail counts.

Cosmetic restoration corrects both congenital irregularities in the appearance and position of the teeth and the marks life leaves on them: trauma, age-related wear, and lasting acquired changes in colour. It matters, too, that in many cases cosmetic restoration allows the tooth to be kept alive.

At Dr. Khotimsky Dentistry we will not only rebuild broken, chipped or missing teeth, but also correct their shape, angle, size and colour, matching your natural teeth exactly and respecting the individual form of your own dentition.

Whitening is one of the most requested dental procedures today. It removes not only surface staining on the teeth but also changes the shade of the tooth itself.

Our dentists' task is to choose the right whitening system. In our clinic the doctors will match your individual tone and colour precisely from a shade palette — and we know exactly which teeth can be whitened and which are better left alone.

Before whitening, every tooth with a carious defect must be treated, all deposits removed, and the teeth ground smooth and polished.

We will gladly make your smile dazzlingly white.

Dental surgery at Dr. Khotimsky Dentistry covers minor procedures in the mouth, carried out under local anaesthetic and in most cases completed in a single visit.

We perform:

• tooth extraction, including surgical extraction and impacted wisdom teeth
• preparing the mouth for dentures and implants
• placement of dental implants
• minor procedures on the gums

Before any operation the surgeon assesses the state of the bone tissue and the neighbouring teeth, and talks the patient through the procedure, the anaesthetic and how healing will go.

We treat surgery as a last resort: if a tooth can be saved by therapeutic means, we save the tooth.

Children of any age need a dentist, yet they are often not ready to cooperate with one. In past centuries force, threats and punishment were used; today aggression in a dental surgery is unacceptable. Having teeth treated should not be a trauma for a child. Quite the opposite: it should be an absorbing and instructive game, at the end of which the dentist has convinced the child — or the teenager — that preventive care matters.

The specialists at Dr. Khotimsky Dentistry work individually with each child, taking account of how a child's body and mind differ from an adult's.

Medically, a bad bite promotes caries by leaving parts of the mouth out of reach for hygiene, causes gum disease, and accelerates wear of the teeth. Misaligned teeth also change how chewing load falls on each group of teeth, which can lead to problems in the temporomandibular joint.

The health of the body as a whole is the sum of the health of all its systems. A bad bite disturbs posture, tells on the quality of speech and interferes with breathing. That is precisely why a bite is worth correcting at any age.

Dr. Khotimsky Dentistry uses the latest methods of bite correction. Besides surgery, the position of the teeth can be corrected and their health restored with modern bracket systems.

The doctors at Dr. Khotimsky Dentistry aim not only to treat the patient's periodontal disease and strengthen the body's resistance to the factors causing it, but also to relieve the symptoms of the condition.

The method of treatment is chosen individually in every case. Treating periodontal disease always means clearing the inflammation in the gum tissue, eliminating periodontal pockets as a reservoir of micro-organisms and a driver of progression, and arresting the destruction of bone and of the periodontal ligament.
