Dental Aesthetics

As well, if the patient has some other concerns or questions about the aesthetics added to solving the problems of dental health we help in any decisions by explaining in detail de pros and cons of each step in the treatment.

SOLUTIONS in mild cases. Minimally Invasive Dentistry.

If the front teeth  area has been minimally affected the dental surface can be rehabilitated by porcelain veneers or laminates (truly porcelain nails) that have a minimal thickness and are fully made in the dental laboratory. And with them we obtain the best aesthetics results in modern odontology.

DENTAL SOLUTIONS FOR MAJOR DAMAGE. CAD-CAM TECHNOLOGY.

To solve more advanced or serious dental injuries (partial or complete crowns) and within the umbrella of aesthetic protheses we offer the patient the option to reconstruct those teeth with the latest in CAD-CAM technology (computer assisted design - computer assisted manufacturing)  the most innovative technique in fixed prothesis and odontological rehabilitations, extremely precise and of the highest quality associated with maximum resistance and an important advance in conventional odontology.

CAD-CAM technology in teeth darkened by tetracyclines

The new crowns replace old teeth veneers that where covering teeth darkned by tetracyclines. The explanation of the darkening of the teeth is as follows: Because of infectious problems some antibiotics called tetracyclines where administered to young children. These tetracyclines bind to circulating calcium in the blood and accompany it to the teeth and bones. As tetracyclines have a dark color, teeth get stained irreversibly. Today only tetracyclines are not administered to children.

CAD-CAM TECHNOLOGY ON IMPLANTS

Once placed the implants in the bone, we wait a reasonable time and then we placed the teeth using CAD-CAM technology. Metallic structures are manufacturated and porcelain or acrylic teeth are added on them. In our clinic we receive CAD-CAM structures to the manufacturer of our own implants (BTI in Vitoria, See bti-biotechnologyinstitute.com) and in other cases the company Createch Medical (see Link createchmedical.com) based in Mendaro, both leading researches in metalworking and precision.

Bridge

A bridge is the replacement of a tooth or several teeth carving the neighbours whom we shall call pillars, thus creating a block of all the pieces involved which may be from three to all the upper or lower denture.

They are structures of ceramic and metal or only ceramic in short spaces.  They are fitted if the mouth does not possess a solid bone base to accept an implant (nowadays made very infrequent by the use of bone and gum grafts) and besides we must carve teeth that may be intact.

Periodontics, dental hygiene, root scaling and planning

The periodontal illness,  as its name indicates, is an illness of the entire perimeter of the affected tooth, including the gum and root cement, the ligament that anchors the tooth to the bone.  The presence of bacteria and dental plaque in the zone produces a chronic infection that affect the tissues that support the root.  Years of bad dental health result in the loss of root bone to support the teeth which begin a progressive deterioration until they end up, literally, like piano keys.  The consequence is the loss of teeth even though they may be absolutely healthy.

The dental hygiene conducted in the clinic consists of cleaning the tooth's perimeter (the infected gum, root cement and periodontal ligament) with specific instruments by the nursing hygienist who is a professional specialised in the task.  In the case of patients who for whatever reasons or circumstances cannot undertake the cleaning in the best possible way, we normally ask them to return once or twice a year to preserve the health of affected gums through methodic and regular checks.

Removable prosthesis

The loss of more teeth makes impossible the elaboration of too-wide bridges and in those cases the lost denture is repaired with a removable prosthesis, the "on and off" type which are tied to the remaining teeth with hooks. They have a metallic skeleton.

The loss of teeth may well be total in which case their replacement is through a complete set of dentures, Complete prosthesis.

Dental Discharge Splints

No one is perfect of course and the existence of an imperfect denture which coincides with an imperfect facial anatomy that works with an imperfect jaw (almost all humans have defects in the mouth) ensures that through the years the daily use of this chewing apparatus creates an "erosion" that translates into an inevitable dental wear and tear.

To prevent it and/or avoid its progress we recommend the use of a rigid plastic horseshoe placed in the mouth before going to sleep so that during the night the patient can achieve a balanced closing of the mouth thus stopping more wear as well as allowing a relaxed posture and preventing jaw movements that may have harmful consequences.

Tooth Whitening

In cases when the patient seeks tooth whitening we explain the various options available today by the pharmaceutical industry and we advise the best system to obtain realistic results without ever encouraging false expectations that might be unrealisable. We advocate a smile that shows a healthy aspect with a clear but natural colour, not necessarily an artificially glowing white.
