DENTISTRY
Our credo is comfort and health of our patients. Therefore, MEDICO makes continuous investments in equipment, expanding the range of services offered with a view to turning a visit at a dentist’s into sheer pleasure. Our skilled and competent staff, and adequate resources ensure successful and painless treatment.
Visit us for a periodical check-up. Comfort and health of our patients is the priority for us. Our individual approach means that you will not only be informed about the current condition of your teeth, but also advised on possible treatment or prophylaxis procedures that will be the best for you.
It is the safest and the most precise totally painless method. It does not cause cheek and mouth numbness which is frequent in the case of traditional anaesthesia methods.
A micro-processor controlling the delivery of anaesthetic, makes the process totally painless. The anaesthetic is delivered under low pressure and therefore it does not expand the patient's tissues and does not cause pain. The anaesthetic is gradually absorbed, unlike in the case of a syringe, where it is injected under high pressure.
The Wand System can be used with any local anaesthetic used at a dentist's. The so called physiological flow rate minimises the risk of a shock that often occurs during application of imprecise amount of anaesthetic or delivering it directly to a blood vessel.
The construction of the device enables painless injection. The anaesthetic forms a special cover preceding the needle, because it is administered continuously. It makes the way for the needle, anaesthetising subsequent tissue layers.
Other benefits of the Wand:
- computer-guided anaesthesia does not damage soft tissue
- without a syringe, patients, particularly children, are less stressed!
- caries prophylaxis
- painless caries treatment
With the use of KaVo abrasive air polishing unit, MEDICO offers treatment without a dental burr.
- treatment of tooth hypersensitivity
It is one of many specialist functions of VECTOR device, discussed in greater detail below.
- reconstruction of damaged tooth crowns
Key features of Vector:
- precise treatment of causes of periodontitis
- delicate and effective removal of biofilm deposits,
- the least painful periodontology procedure in subjective patients’ opinion
- effective removal of deposits without causing irritation
- preservation of connective tissue attachments to the highest possible extent
Key therapy features:
- effective cleaning of the whole pathological pocket throughout the whole probing depth

No more fear of a dental burr!
- placing a dental sealant
The procedure consists in applying a fissure sealant to pits and fissures on the teeth. Due to their anatomic structure, pits and fissures are places which are difficult to reach while brushing your teeth, thus allowing bacteria to accumulate and causing the risk of development of cavities already in the early years of the permanent teeth
- Teeth varnishing
Teeth varnishing is a method for contact application of fluorine. Various preparations containing fluorine are applied directly onto a tooth surface, thus making it less susceptible to decay.
- A piece of advice to parents
Prophylaxis
The key to prophylaxis of dental diseases in children is healthy dentition of the mother and good oral hygiene habits and routines. The safest time for pregnant women to undergo dental treatment is the second trimester; it is also the time when all infection focuses should be eliminated.
Hygiene
Infants' gums should be regularly washed with water or camomile and massaged with a rubber tooth brush
When the first tooth appears, a special tooth brush, adequate for the child’s age, should be introduced. Teeth should be brushed by parents even until the age of six, and the children should be taught personal hygiene gradually.
Visit at a dentist’s
The first visit at a dentist's should take place just after the first milk teeth have appeared, that is when a child is between six and twelve months of age. This gives the opportunity for a dentist to give the parents some advice on how to care for new teeth, but also how to control the development of the face and oral cavity.
Fluorine and the first teeth
A toothpaste for children should contain smaller dose of fluorine - below 500 ppm as kids often swallow it.
If there are no signs of caries in milk teeth, it is recommended that they are coated twice a year with special fluorine preparations for children. Should any sign of decay be discovered, the teeth need to be treated first and then fluoridised every three months.
If there are no signs of caries in milk teeth, it is recommended that they are protected against decay by being coated every six months with a special fluorine preparation for children. As the procedure is painless, it may be good way to acquaint a child with a dentist’s office. If, however, caries has developed, the teeth need to be cured first and then fluoridised every three months.
Treatment of milk teeth
Caries that has developed over large flat surfaces requires cauterization with silver nitrate. It consists in applying silver nitrate onto teeth. It is a painless, however troublesome procedure, because the teeth get black.
At advanced caries stage, treatment methods used are similar as in the case of permanent teeth. Root canal therapy poses certain risks, as it may disturb the development of permanent tooth buds.
The treatment of milk teeth is aimed at preserving them until natural replacement because premature extraction may cause defects of permanent teeth, such as crowding of teeth, disturbance in the position of teeth, or unerupted tooth.
In today’s world being healthy is not enough. Our clinic offers a wide range of dental procedures improving your appearance
- Professional teeth whitening
It is a diode laser with a set of pre-defined therapeutically procedures for treatment of many diseases, which makes the dentist’s work easier and faster.
In dentistry, laser beam is used mainly for non-invasive treatment of mucous membrane, anaesthesia and to stop bleeding. Due to its anti-septic properties, the laser beam has anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling effects. It is effective in activating tissue regeneration and stimulates the immunological system. The other key application of laser treatment is fast and durable teeth whitening. The whitening effect is several times stronger than in the case of other methods; it is durable and very satisfying to the patients.
- removal of tooth discolouration / staining
- porcelain crown inlays
A porcelain crown inlay is a form of a prosthetic replacement used to reconstruct or strengthen the damaged tooth. A crown is a kind of a “cap” topping the tooth and a patient gets used to it very quickly. The presence of this type of replacement is unnoticeable to the patients.
- porcelain veneers
A porcelain veneer is a permanent prosthetic replacement, of a thickness between 0.5 to 1 mm, used to cover unaesthetic tooth surface. It is made from porcelain and requires less tooth grinding than in the case of prosthetic crowns, which protects healthy tooth tissue.

- Scaling - removal of the tartar
Scaling is a process of removal of hardened deposits accumulating on the teeth surfaces as a result of mineralisation of the dental plaque, commonly called tartar or dental calculus.
- air polishing
Air polishing (air abrasion) is a regular prophylaxis procedure that removes plaque and decay from the teeth with the use of special device emitting a powerful stream of dental powder onto the teeth. MEDICO offers two types of air polishing:
- Dental fluoridation
Fluoridation is a process of coating the teeth with fluorine (in much higher concentration than in tooth pastes) used as a prophylaxis procedure aimed and strengthening the tooth enamel and make is less susceptible to decay.
- placing a dental sealant
The procedure consists in applying a fissure sealant to pits and fissures on the teeth. Due to their anatomic structure, pits and fissures are places which are difficult to reach while brushing your teeth, thus allowing bacteria to accumulate, which causes the risk of development of cavities already in the early years of the permanent teeth.
- Tooth Mousse
Tooth Mousse is a water-based, sugar free dental topical crème. It contains amorphous calcium phosphate which - through maintaining the mineral balance in the mouth - ensures ideal oral environment.
Endodontics, commonly known as root canal treatment, is a dental procedure the purpose of which is to remove the infected or dead radicular pulp from the pulp chamber and root canal system and to provide mechanical and chemical treatment of the system. Subsequently, the treated tooth is filled with a specialist material and tightly sealed.
State-of-the art device for thermo-liable condensation of gutta percha used in filling canal roots. The latest Obtura system device combines the most advanced electronic solutions with great care for detail. Smaller needle diameter facilities the application in thin or curved root canals where traditional obturation methods cannot be used due to their anatomic structure.
State-of-the art device for thermo-liable condensation of gutta percha used in the periapical area of the root. It enables tight sealing of periapical area, thus preventing spread of inflammation and infection outside the root apex area.
It is a device indispensable in modern endodontics, enabling precise root canal length determination.
Computer-controlled programmable device for fast and effective processing of root canals.
Professional device with a wide range of applications in dentistry. The device is equipped with a diode laser. It has a set of pre-defined therapeutically procedures for treatment of many diseases, which makes the dentist’s work easier and faster. In dentistry, laser beam is used mainly for non-invasive treatment of mucous membrane, anaesthesia and to stop bleeding. Due to its anti-septic properties, the laser beam has anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling effects. It is effective in activating tissue regeneration and stimulates the immunological system. The other key application of laser treatment is fast and durable teeth whitening.
For better processing and imaging of canal orifices our dentists use optical systems enabling multiple magnification of the treated root canal orifice.
Since 2nd October 2012, we have become one of the very few clinics equipped with the state-of-the-art LEICA microscope with led-light source. This unique optical system enables very precise processing and obituration of root canals as well as performance of micro-surgery and endodontic procedures.
The temporomandibular joint is the most complicated joint in a human body. Unlike any other human joint, where movement is constrained by bone structures, the extensive scope of movements of the temporomandibular joint is limited only by the muscle system. All irregularities - either natural (occlusion defects) or caused by inaccurate dental treatment - affect proper functioning of the whole system, which may lead to permanent defects. Therefore, adequate care for the temporomandibular joint is extremely important. Interestingly enough, the anatomic location of the joints considerably affects not only the occlusion, but also migraine pain, the origin of which has often been unknown.
Due to its innovative ultrasound emission system, ARCUS DIGMA II electronic articulator enables precise real-time recording of mandibular movements.
Unprecedented measuring precision is achieved through the use of four wave emitters and eight microphones. Not only does the system allow for immediate diagnosis of mandibular movements within the temporomandibular joint, but also for the processing of the obtained data. In this way, the information may be used for the purpose of prosthodontic treatment.
Immediate analyses enable the functional diagnostics of the temporomandibular joint. It also helps to determine the cause and origin of temporomandibular joint pain.
Computer-designed and produced constructions for:
- sub-structures for bridges and ceramic veneer crowns
- individual abutments for any implant system
- aesthetic veneers
- adhesive bridges
- Press-over technique
- construction elements such as bolts and bars
Treatment stages:
- decision on the material to be used
- taking the impressions and making the cast,
- scanning the cast to produce a virtual image in the computer's memory (CAD),
- sending the digital design to a digital milling machine (CAM) via dedicated software; based on the design the machine produces a single or complex construction (depending on whether a single tooth or a whole tooth arch is to be reconstructed)
- in the case of a chrome cobalt structure, it is immediately ready for further processing and ceramic firing; as for ceramic bridge or crown made of zirconia oxide it requires sinterisation to shape it adequately and ensure durability.
- when the structure is ready, dental facing with ceramic dental veneers is performed.
CAD/CAM technology enabled the elimination of numerous manual stages of preparing sub-structures for the ceramics, which was the most common cause of inaccuracies and deformations in the designed constructions.
Thanks to a special device for mixing impression mass, we perform fully professional processing for the prosthodontics lab.
- crowns
A crown is a form of a prosthetic replacement used to reconstruct or strengthen the damaged tooth. A crown is a kind of a “cap” topping the tooth and a patient gets used to it very quickly. The presence of this type of replacement is unnoticeable to the patients.
- bridges
A bridge consists of two prosthetic crowns on both sides of the missing tooth, serving as abutments. Between them, “hanging” over the gum is a crown or a set attached to the crowns of abutment teeth. The solution is effective even in the case of three consecutive missing teeth.
- all-ceramic crowns
All-ceramic crowns are the best-looking reconstruction solution for damaged teeth. They do not have a metal margin (characteristic for porcelain crowns), which often causes dark gums. All ceramic crowns made of non-allergic material guarantee natural look of the teeth.
- veneers
Veneers are permanent prosthetic replacements, of a thickness between 0.5 to 1 mm, used to cover unaesthetic tooth surface. They are made from porcelain and require less tooth grinding than in the case of prosthetic crowns, which protects healthy tooth tissue.
- crown and root inlays
Crown and root inlays are prosthetic structures used in the case of extensive damage of tooth’s own tissues. They serve as abutments for subsequent crown part and are permanently cemented into the tooth root. The use of such inlays requires prior root canal treatment of the reconstructed tooth. They are made of base metals as well as gold, ceramics, and fibreglass.
- frame dentures
Used in the case of tooth loss requiring partial dentures. It is a delicate metal structure made of very light and durable metal, attached to the palate by means of clasps made of the same material.
- Removable dentures
This type of replacement is usually used in the case of complete toothlessness and needs to be regularly removed for cleaning (e.g. after a meal). Removable dentures are usually made of acryl.
- Porcelain
Sintered porcelain gives the final look to a prosthetic work, aimed at achieving the visual effect as close as possible to the natural teeth and natural dentin translucency.
- Permanent braces (metal and porcelain)

One of the most important stages in the process of dental therapy is X-ray diagnostics. X-ray pictures are used in the majority of dental specialisations: treatment of parodontium diseases, surgery, conservative dentistry, prosthodontics and orthodontics. Pantomographic and cephalometric photographs enable not only the assessment of the condition of the teeth, but also of the important temporomandibular joints, sinuses, nasal septum and many other elements of the facial skeleton important for the diagnostics.
