Dental

Services

At Hack Dental Center, every treatment is built on one uncompromising principle — quality above all. From your first consultation to your final result, we combine decades of clinical expertise with the latest technology to deliver care that is precise, gentle, and lasting.

Consultations & Checkups

Every great smile begins with a thorough consultation. At Hack Dental Center, we treat the first visit not as a formality, but as the foundation of your entire care journey. Our detailed checkups assess the full picture — teeth, gums, bite alignment, and overall oral health — using advanced diagnostics including digital X-rays and CT imaging. We take time to listen, evaluate, and explain, ensuring you fully understand your current dental health and the options available to you. Whether you’re an adult, a child, or coming in for a trainer checkup, our approach is always tailored, never rushed. Early detection saves time, money, and discomfort — and it starts here.

Odontology & General Dentistry

General dentistry is the cornerstone of a healthy mouth, and at Hack Dental Center we approach it with the same level of precision we bring to every other discipline. From treating cavities and decay to managing tooth sensitivity and performing safe, gentle extractions, our general dentistry services are designed to preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible. We use modern protocols and the latest equipment to ensure minimal discomfort and maximum effectiveness at every stage. We believe prevention is always the best treatment — so alongside restorative work, we guide every patient on proper home care and oral hygiene habits that last a lifetime.

Orthodontics, Endodontics & Periodontics

Three of the most transformative disciplines in modern dentistry — orthodontics, endodontics, and periodontics — are offered at Hack Dental Center under one roof, with the same commitment to precision and quality that defines every aspect of our practice. Our orthodontic treatments range from traditional metal and sapphire fixed appliances to Invisalign clear aligners, expanders, and specialised devices for both children and adults, all planned with digital models and expert clinical analysis. Endodontic care at our clinic focuses on saving teeth through highly precise root canal treatments performed under magnification — loupes and microscope — ensuring the complete removal of infection and the long-term health of the treated tooth. Our periodontal services address gum disease at every stage, from professional ultrasonic scaling and laser pocket treatments using the Fotona system, to advanced procedures involving PRF/PRP plasma therapy — because a healthy smile starts at the foundation.

Cosmetic Dentistry

A confident smile is one of the most powerful things you can wear. At Hack Dental Center, cosmetic dentistry goes far beyond aesthetics — it’s about restoring harmony, proportion, and natural beauty to your smile. We offer arch and individual tooth laser whitening using the Fotona system, one of the most advanced laser platforms in modern dentistry, delivering fast, precise results with minimal sensitivity. Our cosmetic services also include dental jewelry application for those who want something uniquely expressive. Every cosmetic treatment plan begins with a detailed smile analysis, ensuring results that feel authentically yours — radiant, refined, and built to last.

Radiology & Diagnostics

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of every successful treatment, and at Hack Dental Center we invest in radiological technology that leaves nothing to guesswork. Our in-house digital imaging suite includes panoramic X-rays, cephalometric radiographs, and cone beam CT scanning in both 5mm and 8mm field-of-view formats — providing two-dimensional and three-dimensional views of your teeth, roots, bone structure, and surrounding anatomy. Every image is interpreted directly by our clinical team, not outsourced, ensuring that findings are immediately integrated into your personalised treatment plan. Whether we are planning a complex implant placement, evaluating jaw development in a growing child, or identifying the source of unexplained dental pain, our radiological capabilities ensure that every decision is made with complete information and total confidence.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth affect more than your smile — they affect your confidence, your bite, and the long-term health of your jawbone. Dental implants are the most permanent and natural-feeling solution available, and at Hack Dental Center we perform every stage of the process with surgical precision. We use advanced CT imaging for detailed 3D planning before any procedure begins, ensuring ideal placement and long-term stability. The titanium implant integrates naturally with your bone, and the final crown is crafted using our in-house CAD-CAM digital design system for a seamless, lifelike result. The outcome is a tooth that looks, feels, and functions exactly as nature intended — built to last a lifetime.

Oral Surgery

When a dental condition requires surgical intervention, experience and precision matter most. At Hack Dental Center, our oral surgery services are performed with a level of care and clinical rigor that reflects over two decades of practice. We handle complex extractions, wisdom tooth removal, bone grafts, and surgical procedures required prior to implant placement — all guided by detailed CT scan imaging for maximum accuracy and safety. Our use of Er-YAG and En-YAG laser technology allows for minimally invasive surgical approaches, significantly reducing healing time and post-operative discomfort. From the moment you arrive to your final follow-up, you are in experienced, trusted hands.

Prosthetics, Crowns & Dentures

Whether you need to restore a single damaged tooth or replace an entire arch, Hack Dental Center offers prosthetic solutions of the highest quality, designed and crafted with exceptional attention to detail. Our crowns are produced using in-house CAD-CAM digital technology, ensuring a perfect fit, natural appearance, and outstanding durability without the wait of external labs. For patients requiring full or partial dentures, we create custom-fitted solutions that restore function, comfort, and confidence in daily life. Every prosthetic restoration at our clinic is the result of precise measurements, premium materials, and an artistic eye — because we believe restoring your smile should be indistinguishable from the real thing.

Materials, Equipment

& Examples

When Expertise Meets Technology

At Hack Dental Center, true excellence appears only when medical expertise and materials work in harmony. The doctor’s skills and the quality of the instruments must be aligned, just like a great pianist and an exceptional piano, in order to create something close to perfect music.

At Hack Dental Center, the quality of every treatment depends not only on the hands of the doctor, but also on the materials, equipment, and technologies we choose to work with. We collaborate with internationally recognised manufacturers whose products are clinically validated, long-term tested, and used in modern practices around the world. Below you can discover some of the key systems and technologies we use every day in our work – from implants and orthodontics, to computer-guided tooth design and state-of-the-art dental lasers.

Dental Implant System – Bicon

Bicon is a clinically proven implant system known for its short implants and unique locking taper connection. We use Bicon implants in cases where long-term stability, bone preservation, and predictable aesthetic results are essential.

Invisalign Orthodontics

Invisalign is a nearly invisible orthodontic system that uses custom clear aligners instead of fixed brackets and wires. It is an option for patients who want effective tooth movement with maximum comfort and minimal visual impact.

Computerized Tooth Design – CAD-CAM

With Dentsply Sirona CAD-CAM technology, we digitally design and mill crowns, veneers, and other restorations directly in the clinic. This allows for precise fit, excellent aesthetics, and significantly reduced waiting times compared to traditional laboratory workflows.

Post-Treatment

Recommendations

After Your Treatment

Every treatment at Hack Dental Center continues after you leave the chair. The first hours and days are essential for proper healing, comfort, and long‑term success, and small details – what you eat, how you brush, and how you rest – can make a big difference in how quickly and how well you recover. Every treatment we perform here is a partnership between doctor and patient, and your role after the appointment is just as important as the work we do in the clinic. By following the recommendations below carefully, you help your body heal faster, reduce the risk of complications, and protect the results we have carefully built together.

Mild discomfort, sensitivity, or swelling can be normal after many procedures, but strong or increasing pain, heavy bleeding, or fever are not. Healing is never identical from one person to another, so if something does not feel right, if your symptoms get worse instead of better, or if you simply feel unsure about what to do next, we are here to help you. Do not wait and hope it will pass by itself – a short call or message can make a big difference.

You Are Not Alone in Your Healing

If you need assistance, clarification, or reassurance at any point after your treatment, please contact us. We prefer to answer one extra question rather than let a concern grow in silence. Your comfort, safety, and long‑term health are our priority, and we are only one call away.

Dental

Daily hygiene

Daily Dental Hygiene

Brushing

The active brush is applied first to the gum, then to the sides of the tooth.
The movement is a rotating motion from the gum towards the tooth.
At the horizontal line of the teeth, the brush movement is back to front.
Rinsing is done with the arches closed, strongly, and with noise.

The Brush

As a general rule, the active brush should be HARD, except in certain periodontal diseases, when a MEDIUM brush is indicated.
Electric brushes are not recommended, except for difficult areas such as some wisdom teeth, or when the patient has motor impairments.

Toothpaste

Toothpaste brand and type should be changed frequently – ideally at the end of each tube.

Dental Floss (ORAL B – 1×/day)

Use dental floss once per day.
When the floss reaches the gum, remove it by bypassing the interdental area, not by cutting into the gum.

Mouthwash (OSSIDENTA – 1×/day)

15–20 drops in 200 ml water for 30 minutes.
8–10 drops in 100 ml water for 15 minutes.
3–5 drops in 50 ml water for 5 minutes.

Order of Use

Evening: 1) dental floss, 2) brushing, 3) rinsing with plain water.
Morning: 1) brushing, 2) rinse.

Medical

Terms & Glossary

Understanding Our Language

At Hack Dental Center, it is essential for us that you understand the words we use when we speak about your health. Medical terms should never feel like a barrier between doctor and patient, but a shared language that helps you make confident decisions about your treatment.

That is why we explain every concept clearly and provide this glossary as a practical guide. If something remains unclear or you feel unsure about any expression, we are here for you – always ready to translate, clarify, and answer your questions.

Modern dentistry uses many technical words that may sound unfamiliar at first. This glossary explains the main medical terms you will find on our website and in your treatment plan, using clear language while keeping the correct clinical meaning. You can use it any time you want to revisit a concept or better understand a recommendation.

The information below is for understanding and education only. It does not replace a consultation, diagnosis, or personalised medical advice from your doctor. For any questions about your own situation, please speak directly with our team.

A – D

Abrasion
Wear of the tooth surface caused by mechanical factors such as incorrect brushing or grinding. In advanced cases, teeth can look shortened or flattened and may require reconstruction.
Alveolotomy
Surgical procedure in which a small part of the bone around a tooth is removed to allow easier extraction or access to a lesion.
Apical resection
Surgical removal of the tip of a tooth root together with the surrounding infected tissue, usually performed after a root canal when infection persists at the root end.
Bicon implant
A specific dental implant system known for its short implants and locking taper connection, used to replace missing teeth while preserving bone.
Bone crest augmentation
Procedure in which bone or bone substitute material is added to increase the height or width of the jawbone crest, often before placing implants.
Bruxism
Involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth, usually during sleep, which can lead to tooth wear, fractures, muscle pain, and joint problems. Often treated with splints.
CAD-CAM
“Computer-Aided Design” and “Computer-Aided Manufacturing” – digital technology used to design and mill dental restorations such as crowns and veneers with high precision.
Caries
Tooth decay caused by bacteria that demineralise the hard tissues of the tooth, creating cavities that must be cleaned and filled.
Cementation
The process of permanently fixing a restoration (such as a crown, bridge, or prosthesis) onto a tooth or implant using special dental cement.
CT (Cone Beam CT)
3D radiological investigation that shows teeth, roots, and bone in detail. Used for diagnosis and for planning complex treatments such as implants and surgery.
Cystectomy

Definitive filling
Final, long-term filling placed in a cavity after all decay has been removed and the tooth has been properly prepared.
Dentinal hypersensitivity
Increased sensitivity of a tooth to cold, heat, or touch, often caused by exposed dentin due to abrasion, recession, or erosion.
E – L

Endodontics
Dental specialty that deals with the inside of the tooth – the pulp and root canals. Includes treatments such as root canal therapy and retreatments.
Extraction – simple
Removal of a tooth that is erupted and accessible, usually without the need for bone removal.
Extraction – complex
Removal of a tooth that requires additional surgical steps, such as sectioning the tooth or removing bone.

Frenectomy
Surgical procedure to cut or reshape a frenulum (a small fold of tissue, for example under the tongue or upper lip) when it restricts movement or causes functional problems.
Gingivectomy
Surgical removal of a portion of the gum tissue, often using laser, to reduce deep pockets or improve access for hygiene and restorative work.
Gingivoplasty
Shaping of the gum tissue, sometimes with addition of connective tissue, to improve gum contour, cover exposed roots, or support aesthetics.
Histopathological analysis
Microscopic examination of tissue removed during surgery in order to establish a precise diagnosis.
Implantology

Invisalign
Orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners instead of fixed brackets and wires to move teeth gradually.
Intraradicular post (RCR)
Metallic or non-metallic post placed inside a root canal of a previously treated tooth, used to support a core and crown when a large part of the tooth is missing.
M – R

Mesialization
Orthodontic movement that shifts teeth forward, towards the midline of the mouth, used for space closure or alignment.
Mobile prosthesis
Removable dental prosthesis (partial or total) that replaces missing teeth and can be taken out by the patient for cleaning.
Occlusion
The way the upper and lower teeth meet when biting or chewing. A balanced occlusion distributes forces evenly and protects teeth and joints.

Metal component made of titanium that is placed in the bone (implant) or screwed onto the implant (abutment) to support a crown or prosthesis.
Ultrasonic scaler
Device that uses high-frequency vibrations and water spray to gently remove tartar and biofilm from the teeth.
Veneer
Thin ceramic or composite layer bonded to the front surface of a tooth to improve its shape, colour, or alignment.
Wisdom tooth
Third molar, usually the last tooth to erupt. It often requires monitoring or extraction if there is not enough space or if it causes problems.
Wedge-shaped lesion
Non‑carious loss of tooth substance at the gum line, often with a V‑shaped appearance, typically related to mechanical and chemical factors and treated with specific fillings.
Zirconia
High‑strength ceramic material used for crowns and bridges, offering very good resistance and pleasant aesthetics, especially in visible areas.
