Damage in the molars is often filled with a filling material such as amalgam or composite. This is often not ideal due to the strength, wear resistance, color (amalgam), or color fastness of the materials. If the molars are too damaged due to fracture or caries, there is not enough material left to crown them and too much to fill them with a filling material. A ceramic inlay/onlay is an ideal solution for this. An inlay/onlay is a custom-made, fully ceramic replacement/restoration that closely mimics nature and is indistinguishable from real teeth. Due to the glassy and natural properties of feldspathic ceramic, ceramic inlays integrate very well. Once placed, a ceramic inlay is a strong and durable product. Many people have their amalgam fillings removed for aesthetic and/or health reasons, and a ceramic inlay/onlay is a perfect solution for this.
PROCEDURE:
The dentist assesses the situation and prepares (grinds) the teeth if necessary. Then, the dentist takes dental impressions and sends them to us (the dental laboratory). The patient comes to the laboratory where we take professional digital mouth photos and perform a detailed color analysis, or the dentist analyzes the color themselves. Based on this data, we craft artisanal ceramic inlays and onlays.
Due to a congenital condition where the enamel on my teeth is missing (amelogenesis imperfecta), about 15 years ago, in consultation with my dentist, I decided to have the teeth directly next to my two front teeth fitted with neat veneers. He has been working with Esthetic Dental Team for several years now.
In the past, a composite veneer had been placed on these teeth, but they lacked any transparency and had become somewhat discolored over time.
At Esthetic Dental Team, I had two beautiful veneers made. They fit perfectly and match the color of my other teeth very nicely.
Really beautiful work and a pleasant, calm atmosphere when determining the color and fitting.
Great work, guys!
Thanks again and best of luck.

After a serious accident, I had to miss part of my teeth for 2.5 years. After several surgeries and wearing braces, it was finally possible to restore my teeth. A lot of attention was paid to the shape of my old teeth before the accident. The color is also very good and natural and matches my own teeth. Because I lost a piece of jawbone due to the impact, I remain critical of my teeth and have to accept that it will never be the same again. I must say that I am extremely happy with the result! I also receive very positive reactions from those around me! It's wonderful to be able to smile again without anyone asking what happened to my teeth.
I am therefore very satisfied with the expertise of the Esthetic Dental Team. The pleasant atmosphere and personal welcome make you really feel at ease. Floris Schaap really took the time to make sure I went home with a good feeling.

For years I had a set of teeth I was not happy with. In my teenage years, I had a sports accident and my front tooth, root and all, left my mouth. After many visits to various orthodontists and a couple of crowns later, I was still not satisfied. Through my dentist, I got in touch with Ronald and Floris. Kudos to these men. They fully informed me about all the possibilities, so I went into treatment well prepared for 11 veneers and an implant crown. Now, I dare to smile broadly again. I don't have to worry about it anymore and it looks fantastic.

Super tevreden ben ik mijn nieuwe uitstraling. Na 5 beugels en diverse mogelijkheden te hebben bekeken kwam ik via een vriendin terecht bij haar man Ronald.
Samen hebben we gekeken naar de mogelijkheden om met deze redelijk nieuwe methode mijn tanden beter op elkaar te laten aansluiten.
Het resultaat is echt super mooi geworden. Het is inmiddels alweer 10 jaar geleden en ze zitten nog net zo mooi als toen ik ze net had. Geen geslijp aan je tanden. Gewoon je eigen tanden behouden, anders had ik het ook niet aan gedurfd. Het is waar, als je tanden mooi zijn, dan straal je ook meer! Dus ik ben zeer tevreden.
After several years with a prosthesis in my upper jaw, I was done with walking around with it any longer. It made me increasingly aware that I was getting older every year.
Because of my position, in which I also need to maintain a certain level of representativeness in my appearance—and your teeth play a significant role in that—I had already discussed the various options several times with my dentist (Esthetische Tandheelkunde Woerden). Eventually, he contacted the Esthetic Dental Team in Hilversum (Floris Schaap and Ronald Mak) to exchange ideas, and together they came up with a fantastic solution.
After first having an intake with Ronald and Floris, they took photos of my upper jaw from all angles, both with my mouth closed, open, and smiling. Based on these, they were able to create a temporary bridge that, in terms of tooth length and color, looked so natural that it did not detract from my appearance and could even be optimized and improved. After 6 weeks and frequent check-ups with my dentist (Esthetische Tandheelkunde Woerden), the moment finally arrived to proceed with the final version for permanent placement. The 6 weeks were used to produce the bridge as naturally as possible. They chose a 12-piece zirconia bridge, which was placed in the upper jaw, also using gum-colored ceramic at the front teeth.
The entire process was tested by Ronald and Floris, who then began the finishing touches with precise and detailed work. The whole procedure took about 3 hours. The dedication and craftsmanship of both gentlemen gave me complete confidence in their abilities from the very beginning.
Once everything was ready, I could immediately return to my dentist (Esthetische Tandheelkunde Woerden) with the new bridge, who was already eagerly awaiting my arrival to permanently place the 12-piece zirconia bridge.
The professionalism of both Floris and Ronald, their craftsmanship, and that of my dentist have given me a fantastic bridge, allowing me to live the rest of my life with renewed attractiveness and, of course, proper maintenance.

Hi Ronald,
They're in and they look beautiful. Installing them took a while, but it was worth it :-). Strangely enough, I hardly need to get used to them. Thanks for the great work, and I've already thanked Caroline / Kelly for their performance.
Regards,
Nicoline
