General Dentistry

Operative dentistry

What is it?

General dentistry encompasses all dental care and treatment aimed at maintaining optimal oral health: diagnosis, prevention and treatment of oral diseases, as well as restoration or replacement of teeth.

Our understanding of dental surgery is: prevention to maintain good oral health. Simple, timely cavity treatments can save you a great deal of expense and inconvenience later on.

No mercury used in the treatment of caries fillings! Our dentists use only high-quality composites. Teeth treated in our offices regain their natural color all over, and the filling is virtually invisible. That’s why we favor the use of this material, whose durability and resistance are incomparable with those of a few years ago.

Prosthodontics

What is Prosthodontics?

When a tooth is missing or badly damaged, it is essential to replace or restore it. This will restore the beauty of the smile, but more importantly, it will restore oral function and prevent teeth from shifting.

For whom?

Is a tooth missing or too badly damaged? Our dentists replace or restore it at unbeatable conditions. You’ll regain the beauty of your smile and real comfort when you eat. Let’s not forget that taking action in time prevents the displacement of several teeth, which can be costly and unpleasant! Quality cosmetic dentistry!

The aim of prosthodontics is to restore teeth or replace missing ones with prostheses, bridges or crowns.

Complete and partial dentures

Partial dentures can replace one or more teeth. They are attached to neighbouring healthy teeth by small hooks. Complete dentures replace all natural teeth.

Crowns and bridges

Aesthetic and proven restorative solutions, crowns are used to cover and protect a damaged tooth, while bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Both treatments are permanently fixed in the mouth. They can be made of metal, porcelain or a metal-ceramic alloy. At Ares Dental Brussels, we pride ourselves on bringing you the very latest technology.

Fixed or removable prosthesis on dental implant

There are two types of implant-supported prostheses: fixed and removable. Fixed prostheses, such as crowns, are placed permanently on implants, while removable prostheses must be removed for cleaning or during sleep. The choice of one or the other depends on a number of factors, which we can discuss with you.

Dentist for emergencies with or without appointment

We invite you to visit our two dental practices in Saint-Gilles and Schaerbeek. Our dentists will welcome you with or without an appointment and will treat your emergencies, including Saturdays. All our dentists are approved by the French health insurance system. In our Belgian clinics, we offer low-cost dental care accessible to all.

How can I keep my teeth healthy?

To keep your teeth healthy, here are a few essential tips:

Regular brushing: Brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Flossing: Use dental floss daily to remove plaque and food residues between teeth where the brush can’t reach.
Rinse with mouthwash: Use an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce oral bacteria and freshen breath.
Balanced diet: Limit your intake of sugars and starches, which can cause tooth decay. Eat foods rich in calcium and vitamins to strengthen your teeth.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water, especially after eating, to help flush out food residues and acids.
Regular dental check-ups: Have regular dental check-ups, at least once a year, for professional cleanings and early detection of dental problems.
Avoid tobacco: Don’t smoke and avoid tobacco products, which can stain your teeth and increase the risk of gum disease and oral cancer.
Protect your teeth: If you play contact sports, wear a mouthguard to prevent dental injuries.
Avoid teeth grinding: If you tend to grind your teeth, see your dentist about getting a night splint to protect your teeth from wear.

How often should I brush my teeth?

We recommend brushing at least twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening before going to bed. It’s also beneficial to brush your teeth after meals if possible, especially after consuming sweet or acidic foods or drinks.

Be sure to brush for at least two minutes each time, using an effective brushing technique to clean all tooth surfaces.

Is one toothpaste better than another?

No single toothpaste is best for everyone, as dental needs can vary from person to person. However, here are a few criteria for choosing a good toothpaste:

Fluoride: Choose a toothpaste containing fluoride, which helps prevent cavities by strengthening tooth enamel.

Specific problems :

Tooth sensitivity: If you have sensitive teeth, opt for a toothpaste specially formulated for tooth sensitivity.
Whitening: For whiter teeth, you can use a whitening toothpaste, but be careful with abrasive ones.
Gingivitis or gum disease: There are toothpastes specially designed to combat gum problems and reduce inflammation.

Ingredients: Avoid toothpastes containing harsh abrasives, sulfates or triclosans, as they can irritate gums or damage enamel.

Advice from your dentist: Consult your dentist for personalized recommendations based on the condition of your teeth and gums.
