Our priority is to provide you, our clients, with the same high-quality, specialized, and comprehensive dental care that we dentists would choose for ourselves. At the same time, we strive to make you as comfortable as possible during all treatments and procedures. That’s why, even after years of practice, we continue to educate ourselves and explore new treatments and techniques.
The standard of care provided and guaranteed by Czech health insurance companies, based on our knowledge and experience, is often insufficient. Therefore, we aim to apply modern procedures and treatments that reflect the latest dental knowledge and can deliver long-lasting results, ensuring the longest possible health and functionality of your teeth.
Client cooperation in dental hygiene is key
Quality dental care isn’t just about using the best procedures, technologies, and materials; it also depends on the cooperation between the dentist and the client. Proper at-home dental care is an essential part of maintaining long-term healthy and functional teeth. However, caring for your teeth isn’t as easy as it seems, and it’s a skill that neither patients nor doctors can master alone.
For decades, dental hygienists have successfully provided this care worldwide, helping clients understand the condition of their teeth and gums and guiding them in personalized oral care routines. One important measure we use is the PBI (Papillary Bleeding Index), which provides a reliable score to assess inflammation around the teeth. At DENT MEDICO, we work closely with dental hygienists to ensure seamless communication and care. For effective, long-lasting treatment, we require a stable PBI value below 10 over time. After your dental hygiene session, the hygienist will inform you of your current PBI score and explain what you need to do to achieve and maintain a value below 10.
The benefits of quality dental hygiene
Maintaining a PBI index below 10 is essential to qualify for our extended warranties. Our standard warranty for fillings is 6 months. However, for clients who maintain a stable PBI below 10, as documented over an 18-month period, we extend the warranty for fillings to 18 months. PBI measurements must be taken at least twice a year during this period.
We offer a 24-month warranty on prosthetic products. This warranty applies to the prosthetic product itself and excludes cases where there is a treatment extension, a change in diagnosis, failure of the supporting teeth, or other factors that alter the patient’s oral condition from when the prosthetic was originally delivered.
We only place implants in patients who meet the above PBI index requirements, as these are essential for successful treatment with stable results. Your doctor will provide detailed information during the initial implant consultation.
We cannot guarantee the longevity of the treatment if the dental hygiene indexes are not maintained at the required levels. In such cases, the treatment can only be provided as palliative care (i.e., temporarily alleviating pain or other issues).
You can visit our dental hygienists based on your individual needs or as recommended by your doctor, but at least twice a year. You’ll be amazed at the difference in how healthy teeth and gums feel and how great your smile will look. Together, we’ll keep your teeth healthy.
