Prevention

Is priority n° 1 in our practice. By means of brushing instructions and nutrition advice, we will help you to keep your mouth as healthy as possible. Our system of reminders by e-mail or SMS is a great help for the yearly or 6-monthly check-ups.

Conservation

In case of tooth decay, we treat the teeth with a composite filling (= white, tooth-colored filling). When the tooth damage is too important, a prosthetic solution can be proposed.

Pediatric dentistry

The cure of (baby)teeth with children. The treatment of children’s teeth requires a specific approach, we give them this extra attention so that the visit to the dentist becomes a pleasant experience.

Implants

Dental implants are artificial roots that are anchored into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Once the implant has properly integrated with the bone, an abutment and a crown are placed on top. Removable prostheses can also be supported by implants.

Continued care

The continued care after the treatment is very important.
We guide our patients in the best possible way.
