Frequently Questions

In general, a visit to the dental hygienist is recommended every six months. People with gum problems or excessive tartar may need more frequent treatments.

Regular visits to the dental hygienist or preventative care assistant generally prevent major treatments and thus higher costs in the future. Skipping visits to the dental hygienist and not treating inflamed gums can lead to tooth loss. It also impacts your overall health and poses risks for pregnant women.

Gum healing depends on the severity of the inflammation; mild gum inflammation (gingivitis) can heal within a few weeks with good oral hygiene, while more severe cases take longer. Recovery depends on consistently removing plaque by brushing thoroughly twice a day and cleaning interdental areas daily with floss or interdental brushes. 

For sore gums, daily, thorough oral hygiene is essential: brush twice a day with fluoride and clean between your teeth daily with an interdental brush, floss, or interdental brush. You can temporarily relieve the pain with paracetamol or a saline rinse. Consult a dentist or dental hygienist if symptoms persist, as inflamed gums don't go away on their own and the cause must be determined.

Complete wound healing after tooth extraction takes about 10 to 15 days for the gums, although you'll notice improvement after a few days. It takes longer for the jawbone to replenish. Proper healing requires promoting a blood clot by not rinsing the wound the first day and avoiding smoking and alcohol, which slow healing.

There is no set number of teeth that can be extracted at once; this depends on the patient's medical situation and the complexity of the treatment. Often, multiple wisdom teeth or even all teeth are extracted at once (a total extraction) under general anesthesia, provided this is medically justified and the patient meets the conditions for the procedure.

If you have flattened molars, this leads to a bite height that is too low. If this happens, your front teeth can become loose from your dentures. Or a crack can develop in the upper denture. A new denture or replacing the molars will solve this problem, and the bite height will be correct again.

Dentures can wear out over the years. The color of your teeth and gums can change. This can be caused by certain foods or drinks. The fit can also become less comfortable over time. You change, and your dentures should change with you. They should be aesthetically pleasing to your face.

The difference between a clip-on denture and a regular denture is how it's attached to your mouth. A clip-on denture is attached to implants. A denture isn't attached to anything, but instead adheres to the saliva layer.

Unfortunately, not everyone is eligible for dentures. To get dentures, you must meet several requirements, both dental and health insurance.

Place your thumbs on the inside of your mouth, just behind the dentures, and your fingers on the outside of your mouth, around the bottom of your chin.

Gently push down and outward with your thumbs, away from the palate and gums. This will release the denture from the implants and make it easier to remove.

A snap-in denture is often more comfortable than a traditional denture because it fits more securely in your mouth. While a regular denture is adhered by the saliva layer, a snap-in denture is attached to implants.

Regular checkups can help detect problems early. Also, clean your dentures regularly. This prevents damage and reduces the risk of problems caused by loose dentures.

Reimbursement depends on your health insurance. Please check with your insurer. We will always discuss all costs upfront and communicate clearly.

The best fit for you depends on your oral health and preferences. We're happy to help you make the right choice during an intake consultation.

The treatment can be uncomfortable, but it's not painful. The duration depends on the number of implants. We'll always discuss this with you during the intake.

Because dentures are used frequently, it's normal for them to experience wear and tear or loose parts. A simple denture repair can quickly resolve this. We do this in our own lab, so you'll be ready to go in no time.

In most cases, you'll receive temporary dentures. This way, you'll never have to walk around without teeth during the procedure.

Yes, this is definitely possible. After a short period of getting used to the prosthesis, you can eat normally again. It's wise to avoid very hard and sticky foods initially.

The frame denture rests on a metal frame and is often more stable and durable. The plate denture rests entirely on the gums.

With a frame prosthesis with white hooks or one without hooks, the construction is barely visible and you can enjoy a natural look.

The average lifespan is between 5 and 10 years. This depends on your oral health and how well your dentures are maintained.

Sometimes it's possible to receive reimbursement for a frame denture. This is usually covered by your supplementary dental insurance. Check with your health insurer to be sure.

With local anesthesia, the treatment is rarely painful. The anesthetic will usually eliminate any existing pain immediately. You can discuss with your dentist whether further anesthesia is necessary. For subsequent treatments, no further anesthesia is often necessary because there is no sensation left in the tooth's nerve.

After cleaning the canals, some pain may occur. This is usually mild and painkillers are not necessary. Sometimes the pain is more severe. This can last a week, but the pain can be easily controlled with painkillers. You can ask your dentist which painkiller is suitable for you. Occasionally, severe pain, swelling, and/or fever may occur. Fortunately, this is rare, but if it does occur, please contact us.

Admitting you're afraid of the dentist is a good first step. Ask a family member or friend to accompany you to the clinic. Also, let us know at our clinic that you're genuinely afraid. We'll tailor a treatment plan to your needs and listen carefully to your wishes.

On average, we recommend twice-yearly dental checkups. This can vary depending on your teeth and your dentist's advice.

Taking out insurance isn't required. However, it is recommended if you're considering cosmetic or restorative dental treatment. During the consultation, the dentist will advise you and provide you with a preliminary estimate.

During the initial consultation, we discussed all solutions and expectations. After you've agreed to the estimated costs, we'll create a plan. At each step, we'll clearly explain what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what the next steps will be.

Aftercare is very important to us. Restorations also need to be cared for so you can enjoy them for a long time. Our dental hygienists and preventative assistants offer advice on proper cleaning, which is very important to have done regularly!

You can discuss any questions you have with the dentist during your initial consultation. If anything remains unclear afterward, please feel free to contact us. We have friendly colleagues available by phone, and we also have healthcare consultants who can answer any questions you may have.

A dental specialist specializes in a specific area of ​​dentistry. Examples include: implantologist, endodontist, orthodontist, gnathologist, prosthodontist, and dentist for dental anxiety.

Research has shown that more than two million Dutch people are very afraid of the dentist. And for that reason, they often postpone a visit too long. This can be due to bad past experiences, fear of pain, or fear of losing control. This fear often leads to a dental visit being postponed for too long, with all the attendant unpleasant consequences.

The CDC has years of experience with various types of dental anxiety. They know how best to address your fears. This means they'll take all the time you need.

You can register with us as a regular patient or book an intake appointment. The dentist will examine your teeth and indicate which treatments are possible. If you decide to proceed with treatment, we will schedule an appointment. The length of the appointment depends on the dental work that needs to be done. For an intake appointment, please allow approximately one hour for your visit.

Dental renovation is a comprehensive treatment that focuses on restoring a complete set of teeth, including multiple problems such as fillings, extractions, crown and bridgework, implants, or dentures.

The duration depends on the complexity, ranging from several weeks to months. Dental restoration is suitable for people with multiple damaged, missing, or worn teeth who also want to improve their chewing function or appearance. The process begins with a thorough intake, a treatment plan with an estimate, and the start of treatment to restore healthy and aesthetic teeth.

We recommend whitening your teeth from the age of 18.

In some cases, teeth whitening can be harmful to your teeth. At CDC, we only use professional-grade bleaching products that are safe and effective.  This will not damage the enamel. Beware of products offered online!

Composite veneers provide quick results for a limited budget. Additionally, your tooth tissue is not ground down. Porcelain veneers are a more durable and aesthetic solution. We will discuss together what suits you best.

Veneers are not covered by basic health insurance. Sometimes supplementary dental insurance offers partial reimbursement. Always check this with your health insurer. We also always discuss this during the intake.

Composite veneers last an average of 4 to 8 years. Porcelain veneers often last 10 to 20 years. The lifespan is extended if you maintain good oral hygiene.

No. The veneers are applied by a specialist. Your own tooth tissue remains intact as much as possible during this process.

 Our experience shows that after treatment under anesthesia, patients gain more confidence in the dentist. This also alleviates some of their fear. For follow-up treatments by the dentist specializing in dental anxiety, anesthesia is often no longer necessary. If the patient hasn't yet overcome their fear, treatment under anesthesia is, of course, still an option.

At CDC, both are possible. Dental treatment under general anesthesia is generally not necessary. The dentist for those with anxiety can also treat you painlessly with local anesthesia. If experiencing the treatment "consciously" or "awake" is absolutely not an option for you, the sedation dentist offers an excellent solution. Everything is done to make it as pleasant as possible for you.

We've been working with anesthesia dentists since 2008. We have extensive experience with this procedure, and our team is trained to provide professional guidance.

We work together with an anesthesia team consisting of an anesthesiologist, an anesthesiologist assistant and a nurse.

Leaving a file in the root canal doesn't necessarily cause problems. The file itself isn't likely to cause an inflammatory reaction. Depending on the stage of the file's decomposition and the number of bacteria still present under the file, the file will need to be removed.

 There is no difference between a nerve treatment and a root canal treatment.

After the treatment you may suffer from after pain. This should subside after a few days. If the symptoms do not go away or if the pain is severe, contact your dentist. 

No, this isn't an emergency, but it can be unpleasant. In this case, schedule an appointment with a dentist during office hours.

A bridge requires grinding down your healthy teeth. The bridge also needs to be replaced after some time (on average, 10 to 15 years).

We recommend using special brushes and/or dental floss to thoroughly clean the area under the bridge. In addition, brushing regularly and maintaining good oral hygiene are important.

Both offer a good solution. An implant is often more durable than a bridge, but a bridge may be a better fit if there's insufficient jawbone or several adjacent teeth are missing. During your consultation with our specialist, we'll discuss the best solution for your situation.

This depends primarily on the amount of tooth tissue that can be preserved. An inlay is ideal when the tooth is still largely intact, as it is less invasive and preserves more natural tooth structure. A crown is recommended if the tooth is already weakened or requires a full cap.

The average lifespan of an inlay or onlay is 10 to 15 years, but good oral hygiene is necessary for this.

No, the treatment is performed under local anesthesia and is therefore often virtually painless.

A composite inlay is more affordable and quicker to make. When ceramic is used, the inlay is often more wear-resistant and retains its color longer.

The crown is made to match the shape and color of your existing teeth, making the difference from your natural teeth barely noticeable.

The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, so you'll only feel a little pressure during placement. It's otherwise painless.

Yes, after the crown is placed, you can eat anything. It's recommended to avoid extremely hard or sticky foods. This will help extend the life of the crown.

No, the bleaching agent doesn't change the color of the crown. Therefore, we recommend whitening your teeth first and then matching the color of your crown to it.

The average lifespan of a crown is between 10 and 15 years. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene and have regular checkups; sometimes a crown even lasts longer this way. We use only durable materials, which minimizes the risk of wear or loosening.

Admitting you're afraid of the dentist is a great first step! Talk about it with others, and you'll start overcoming your fear. Make an appointment with the dentist who specializes in dentistry for people with dental phobias, or have someone else make one. And ask a close friend or family member who knows about your fear to come with you to your dental appointment. Once you're at the dentist, it's important to clearly express your fear. The dentist will then schedule a consultation with you to discuss the best approach, or a personalized treatment plan!

Because we have a comprehensive team and 16 treatment rooms, we ensure our waiting list is never long. If you've decided to have the treatment, you'll be pleased to know you won't have to wait long.

Smokers have a three to six times higher chance of failure when placing implants, especially in the case of bone building. Smoking increases the risk of gum disease (gingivitis) and bone loss around teeth and molars (periodontitis) two to four times. A similar process can also occur with the bone surrounding the implants demonstrate!

The number of implants can vary considerably depending on the situation. If a removable provision is made, for example, a click prosthesis then fewer implants will be necessary than with a fixed bridge Implant-based. As a rule, a click-in denture requires two to four implants in the lower jaw and four to six in the upper jaw. A fixed bridge construction requires a greater number of implants, but this can also vary.

The optimal time between extraction and placement of a implant, depends largely on the health of the tooth and the surrounding tissues. The implant can be placed within approximately six weeks to three months. In some favorable situations, the implant is also placed immediately after extraction (immediate placementIf the tissue is still inflamed or has not healed properly, the implantologist will wait three to six months before performing the surgery.

We sometimes offer various treatment options to give you a choice. Of course, this is only possible if this is feasible. For example, you can have dentures placed, but you can also choose to have implants placed first, followed by a denture that clicks onto it (clip-on dentures).

There are several options abroad where you see beautiful photos in the media with impressive final results. However, be careful! Sometimes the results are very disappointing. Many patients regret this afterward, and then the dentist abroad is often no longer available.

We understand that sometimes it's very helpful to have someone else listen in. Feel free to bring someone along if you need to.

Because we have a comprehensive team and 16 treatment rooms, we ensure our waiting list is never long. If you've decided to have the treatment, you'll be pleased to know you won't have to wait long.

With general anesthesia, you are temporarily put to sleep using medication administered via an intravenous drip into a vein in your hand or arm. This eliminates pain and consciousness, relaxes muscles, and suppresses reflexes. The anesthesia is administered and monitored by an anesthesiologist and an anesthesia assistant.

Three agents are used: Propofol (a sedative that lowers consciousness), Remifentanil (a powerful painkiller), and, if applicable, anesthetic vapor via a mask.

For a treatment before 12:00, you may not eat anything from midnight (00:00). For a treatment after 12:00, you may have a plain rusk before 06:00. Up to 2 hours before the treatment, you may only drink water, tea, or coffee without milk. Milk, soft drinks, and juice are not allowed.

After general anesthesia, you may temporarily feel tired or confused. Take it easy on the day of the procedure and the day after. Make sure you have enough paracetamol at home and do not exceed the maximum dosage.

No. You may not drive or travel home independently for 24 hours. You must be under the supervision of an adult for the first 24 hours.

You may go home as soon as you have recovered sufficiently and the anesthesiologist has given approval based on the official discharge criteria. After the treatment, you will stay in the recovery room together with your companion.

Complications are rare, but the following side effects may occur: headache, nausea or vomiting, sore throat or hoarseness (due to the breathing tube), and in rare cases, damage to a tooth. These symptoms are usually mild and disappear on their own within a few days. Have you previously been prone to nausea after anesthesia? If so, please inform the anesthesia team in advance.

In the treatment room, the anesthesia team places electrodes for heart monitoring, an oxygen sensor on your finger, a blood pressure cuff, and an IV line. As soon as the anesthesia has started and you are asleep, a breathing tube is inserted through your mouth or nose to support your breathing. The team continuously monitors your breathing, circulation, temperature, and blood values.

You are requested to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start, together with your chaperone. The exact start time will be communicated by telephone 1 to 2 days in advance.

Remove at home: all jewelry and mouth piercings, dentures (partial), and artificial or gel nails and nail polish on at least one finger. You must also bring a companion — the treatment cannot proceed without one.

Stop using marijuana or cannabis at least 24 hours in advance.

Stop smoking at least 6 hours before the treatment.

Contact us if: pain, swelling, or difficulty swallowing do not decrease after 2 days, or if you have a fever above 39°C. In case of severe bleeding: place a clean gauze pad on the wound and bite down firmly for 30 minutes. If the bleeding does not stop, contact us.

Avoid heavy strain such as lifting, bending, and intensive sports for approximately 2 weeks after the treatment.

Avoid alcohol after the treatment, as this promotes bleeding.

No, smoking is bad for wound healing. We advise against smoking for the first 5 days after the treatment.

Avoid rinsing during the first 2 days. Rinsing can wash out the wound plug, which actually promotes healing. From day 3, you can rinse your mouth gently. Do you wear dentures? If so, remove them while rinsing.

The following symptoms are completely normal: some post-operative bleeding, swelling (sometimes significant), slight fever, pain, difficulty opening the mouth, and painful swallowing. These symptoms usually resolve on their own after a few days.

Postpone drinking — especially hot drinks — until at least 2 hours after the procedure due to the local anesthetic. Later in the day, try eating carefully on the side that was not extracted, preferably soft food. After a total extraction, you may carefully consume liquid food; not too hot or too cold to avoid post-extraction bleeding. And preferably avoid dairy products due to mucus production.

Cool your cheeks with cold packs immediately after the treatment. Cooling provides relief and reduces swelling. Also, place an extra pillow under your head the first night; this helps with both swelling and bleeding.

Use paracetamol or ibuprofen. Do not use aspirin, as this can promote bleeding.

Keep the applied gauze pads in place for half an hour after the extraction and bite down on them lightly. This helps to stop the bleeding.

Common causes include a bad experience in the past, fear of losing control, negative stories or shame about teeth.

Express your fears beforehand, schedule an introductory meeting without treatment, bring a support person with you, and ask for explanations at each step. These tips can hopefully help reduce your anxiety.

The most important step is to choose a dentist who specializes in anxiety. Their experience means they know exactly how to handle this. This will make you feel safe and comfortable. You don't have to do it alone, and nothing you're not ready for is mandatory.
