Hygiene and prevention of oral diseases
Prevention is the surest way to have a perfect and healthy smile. A correct daily hygiene enables the prevention of numerous dental problems such as caries, gingivitis and periodontitis, guaranteeing healthy and beautiful teeth for life. In addition to personal measures, a check-up at the dentist twice a year is advisable.
Professional control includes:
- isual examination of the mouth, jaws, face, and neck
- Digital radiographic examination
- Periodontal pocket control
- Professional teeth cleaning
- Recording and storing data in the clinical record
Fluoridation
It consists of administering fluoride to prevent carious lesions and to strengthen the enamel along with the tooth structure. Fluoride is an element that transforms hydroxyapatite crystals (a constituent element of enamel) into fluorapatite, which is more resistant to the acidic demineralizing action of bacterial plaque.
Fluoride can be obtained in two ways, through topical fluoridation and systemic fluoridation.
Topical fluoridation
It is a procedure that has no age limit, it can be done by the patient himself at home or by a doctor in a dental clinic. In the first case when the patient does it himself, fluoride is assimilated by the use of toothpastes or rinsing solutions that contain sodium fluoride.
While professional fluoridation in a dental clinic is performed by a doctor who accurately calculates the amount of fluoride and places it in the form of a gel on the surface of the teeth. This technique is recommended twice a year, along with professional cleaning.
Systemic fluoridation
In this case, fluoride is assimilated through drops or tablets taken orally. It acts on dental elements from the stage of their formation and can thus penetrate into the deepest layers of the tooth.
Therefore, it is important that systemic fluoridation be carried out throughout the entire period of tooth formation, a period that begins with the mother during pregnancy (as early as the 4th month of intrauterine life) and continues until the age of 12-13.
Sealants
Dental sealants along with fluoridation represent the most important treatments for preventing carious lesions in young patients.
The function of sealants is to prevent the formation of caries in certain areas where the deposition of debris and bacteria is easier. The surface of the teeth is characterized by a complex anatomy that has many small sulci (channels) where cleaning becomes very difficult. It is precisely these places that become the first initiators of carious lesions.
To prevent the accumulation of bacteria in these areas, they are filled with sealants, which are viscous resinous materials.
Sealants also contain fluoride which is constantly released, making the enamel even more resistant. This procedure is quick, painless, non-invasive and does not require any form of anesthesia.
Dental Aesthetics
Aesthetics is an area in which modern dentistry has been investing heavily in recent years. A beautiful smile is a gift that makes us happy, valued and confident. That is why we strive hard to give everyone the smile they dream of!
Dental Veneers
Direct composite veneers
These veneers are created by adding different layers of dental composites to the teeth. It is a procedure that is completed in one session, so there is no need for laboratory stages. They provide good aesthetics, but compared to ceramic veneers, they lose a little of their initial shine over the years. One of their advantages, in addition to cost and simplicity, is that they are repairable in case of minor damage.
Ceramic veneers
- Feldspathic facets
They are the best from an aesthetic point of view, but also the most expensive since their production process is completely artisanal and complex. Their modeling is done by hand by placing the ceramic layer by layer on the tooth in the plaster model. They ensure maximum aesthetics and naturalness. They are less strong than emax veneers and have lower compliance with the tooth than them.
- Emax veneers
Emax veneers are made of pressed ceramic (Emax press Ivoclar). They have excellent aesthetics, although perhaps not the same as feldspathic ones. However, the advantages are not few, especially in terms of durability and resistance.
Feldspathic veneers lose a little of their naturalness after a few years and are shorter-lived than Emax ones. Meanwhile, Emax veneers have a more precise fit with the tooth but require the preparation of more dental structure to achieve them. Both offer the smile you have dreamed of! Let our professionals decide which alternative is best for you.
Indications:
- Stained teeth
- Teeth with enamel problems
- Teeth with gaps
- Poorly positioned teeth
- Irregularly shaped teeth
- Teeth that resist whitening procedures
- Teeth with damaged enamel
Professional whitening
Tooth color is a very important component in the ideal smile. Patients who are not satisfied with the color of their enamel can benefit from a very simple and quick solution that is professional laser whitening or at-home tooth whitening.
Professional laser whitening
This procedure involves placing a gel containing hydrogen peroxide on the surface of the teeth. Once irradiated by the laser, this gel begins to act on the enamel by releasing free radicals that can penetrate the deep layers of the tooth, and remove from there the pigmented molecules that are the main cause of tooth discoloration. The action of the peroxide gel and the stimulation of the laser create an immediate result, making the teeth white and shiny.
Teeth whitening at home
The whitening gel is placed in an individual plastic tray (sleeve) which is manufactured in the laboratory after an impression is taken of the patient’s mouth. The tray is worn mainly at night but can also be worn for a few hours during the day. The whitening process takes 8-10 days.
Aesthetic Fillings
The latest generation of composites we use offers excellent aesthetic results in anterior teeth and functional longevity in posterior teeth. We create invisible fillings that will always remain a secret.
Dental Prostheses
Missing teeth are one of the most common concerns of patients. In addition to the aesthetic and psychological problem that reduces self-confidence, missing teeth also brings functional consequences, damage to the temporo-mandibular joint, malnutrition and problems in the digestive system. Our clinic provides all the knowledge to restore patients’ smiles and function, while best adapting to their socio-economic situation.
