Questions & Answers

Here are your most asked questions and their answers:

Dental crowns are used to restore teeth that are damaged, weakened, or have had multiple fillings. They cover the tooth entirely, strengthening its structure and enhancing its overall appearance.
A dental bridge replaces missing teeth by anchoring onto the adjacent natural teeth. In contrast, an implant replaces the root of the missing tooth, onto which an individual crown is fixed. One major advantage of implants is that the neighbouring teeth remain untouched.
A denture is a removable or fixed prosthetic device designed to replace several missing teeth or an entire arch. It restores both the functionality and the natural look of your smile.
Overdentures are prosthetic teeth that snap onto dental implants for superior stability and comfort. Unlike traditional removable dentures, which rely on adhesives and sit on the gums, overdentures feel much more secure.
Implants integrate directly into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots that support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Thanks to their design and the way they are supported, they usually feel just like your natural teeth.
Bone augmentation is a surgical procedure used to rebuild or strengthen the jawbone, ensuring there is a solid foundation to properly support dental implants.
A sinus lift is required when there isn’t enough bone height in the upper jaw to safely place implants, specifically in the molar and premolar areas.
Extractions are performed under local anaesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Once the anaesthesia wears off, some discomfort may occur, but this is easily managed with standard over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicine.
We recommend a professional cleaning at least once a year or every six months to remove tartar and prevent gum disease. At Molnar Dental, your hygienist and your dentist will decide on the ideal frequency based on your specific needs.
Sealants involve applying a protective resin coating to the grooves and fissures of the teeth to prevent cavities. This is particularly recommended for children and teenagers with permanent “young” teeth.
Periodic fluoride treatments strengthen the tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay and acid erosion.
Aesthetic fillings are tooth-coloured composite restorations used to repair cavities or minor damage while maintaining a completely natural look.
Veneers are ultra-thin shells made of ceramic or composite that cover the front surface of the teeth to improve their colour, shape, and alignment.
Yes, professional whitening performed in the dental office by qualified staff is safe and provides immediate results. However, it is not for everyone—we can only recommend it after a thorough dental consultation.
These scans allow our dentists to see the bone, teeth, and roots in high detail, ensuring that every treatment is planned with pinpoint precision and safety.
A core build-up restores the internal structure of a tooth after a root canal, creating a solid and stable foundation for a dental crown.
A root canal removes infected pulp tissue and seals the tooth, allowing it to function normally without pain or infection.
These are custom-made restorations crafted in a dental laboratory to repair tooth structure, acting as a more durable alternative to standard fillings. The difference between them simply refers to how much of the tooth surface they cover.
