Gum plastic surgery is an option for people who are dissatisfied with their smile and also with the shape and size of their gums, mainly due to the lack of gums.
Gingival plastic surgery and tooth reshaping with composite resin
When they are very apparent, they influence the harmony of the smile and the self-esteem of some people. Gingivalaesthetics influences the smile through its relationship with the teeth, color and thickness of the gums. With this procedure it is possible to correct gum deformities by removing excesses and reconstructing areas that have little gum using gum grafts. The surgery is simple, performed under local anesthesia and carried out in the dentist’s office.
How is gum grafting done?
In general, gum tissue is taken from another part of the mouth, such as the roof of the mouth or behind the wisdom teeth. However, today it is also possible to use an artificial gum graft, obtained from pig tissue. After the procedure, the patient is instructed on how to perform oral hygiene for the first few days, as well as the medication they should take (usually antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and painkillers).

They also receive recommendations on diet, especially to avoid eating foods with potential irritant reactions, such as acidic, very salty or spicy foods. The healing period depends on each case, but total internal gum rehabilitation takes place after six months. Many patients resort to this surgery due to gum disharmony, which can be related to excess or lack of gums.

Can the gums grow?
Growth can be caused by the use of medication such as antihypertensive drugs based on alodipine, anticonvulsants based on hydantoin, and fixed braces associated with poor brushing.
Gum recession or retraction is a change in the position of the gums as the root of the tooth becomes longer and more sensitive. This situation can occur due to strong traumatic brushing, malocclusion, when the bite is overloaded on the tooth with recession, bruxism and periodontal disease.
For this type of correction, gingival grafting may be indicated. The tissue used is taken from the mucosa of the roof of the mouth (palate). Surgery is contraindicated for patients with untreated cardiovascular problems, active periodontal disease, blood problems and mouth cancer.
There are different materials that can be used to build a dental prosthesis, the main ones being: resin with a metal internal structure (metalloplastics/Branemark protocol), ceramic with a metal internal structure (metalloceramics) and the most aesthetic option which is ceramic with a metal-free dental zirconia internal structure (metal free).
Therefore, among the possible materials for dental prostheses, we have:
resin with an internal metal structure – this is known as metalloplastic or Branemark protocol,
ceramic with an internal metal structure – this is called metal-ceramic,
The most aesthetic option is ceramic with a metal-free dental zirconia structure, also known as metal free.

The evolution of aesthetic dentures
Most total or partial infrastructures are made with metal alloys that play the role of mechanical and functional support. However, their dark color can compromise the final aesthetics, especially in areas that are more apparent and important to patients.
As a result, metal-free ceramic structures are gaining ground, mainly because they achieve a more aesthetic result and because of their biocompatibility, resistance and stability.
Dental ceramics and zirconia are considered the most advanced materials because they do not contain metals in their composition, which provides an aesthetic dental prosthesis that is much more similar to natural teeth.
Zirconia teeth can be single, bridged or full-arch, installed on teeth or on dental implants.
A zirconia dental prosthesis is made to perfectly mimic dental and gum tissues. Above, the zirconia prosthesis designed, and below, the prosthesis installed. Both the color and the shape were designed individually and jointly between the patient and the implant dentist.
Dental zirconia is a white, resistant ceramic material used to build the structure of the prosthesis. A layer of porcelain is applied to this structure, which makes the prosthesis similar to natural teeth in terms of translucency, texture and shade.
As zirconia is white, the prosthesis has a similar shade and translucency to natural teeth, even when exposed to light.
New types of more translucent dental zirconia allow for the complete fabrication of dental prostheses by computer, without the need to apply porcelain manually.
The shade of zirconia is comparable to natural human dentin. In contrast, the same result cannot be achieved with a prosthesis containing a metal framework.
This is because bone and gum changes naturally occur over the years, and this remodeling can expose a small portion of the metal of the prosthesis and thus cause aesthetic damage to the smile.
Another advantage of zirconia is that prostheses made from this material are completely computer-engineered and executed on 3D printers using Cad/Cam systems. This allows prostheses to be made more quickly and accurately.
For your convenience, ImplArt Odontologia has its own digital prost hesis laboratory that develops dental zirconia prostheses. Make an appointment and find out if this technique is right for you. We would be delighted to hear from you!

Translucent cubic zirconia is an evolution of conventional dental zirconia. Dental zirconia is increasingly being used as a material for making a dental crown or even for a fixed prosthesis on dental implants. As our dental Clinic is integrated with a dental Lab in Sao Paulo-Brazil, we can easily delivery zirconia crowns in a new days. Translucent Zirconia has certainly come to revolutionize the way dental prostheses are made, since it uses modern computer graphics resources to design the prostheses, and modern 3D milling machines to sculpt them.This makes treatment faster and more comfortable for the patient.
More about Translucent Zirconia crowns
In addition, Zirconia is the most resistant material compared to other types of crownsand allows for results with a high degree of naturalness, being the most similar to the appearance of natural teeth.
First and foremost, one of the greatest advantages of the Pure Zirconia dental crown is its strength and durability.In addition, its modern execution method, which doesn’t require the old mass moldings and only uses a 3D scanner, makes the treatment much more comfortable for the patient.It is therefore an excellent option for those who want metal-free treatment, a situation that is highly valued today with biological dentistry.
Translucent cubic zirconia crown for molar tooth (bottom), with hole for screwing into dental implant
These zirconia structures can be used both for implant prostheses, types of crowns on implants and for crowns on natural teeth.One of the pioneering companies in the development of durable and aesthetic zirconia dental prostheses is the Austrian company AmannGirrbach.Now it is introducing a new type of dental ceramic: Zolid FX translucent cubic zirconia.
It is a fully biocompatible material used to make first-rate prosthetic crowns, not only single-unit, but also bridges of up to 3 units. The main characteristics of Zolid FX are its super-high translucency, high strength and long-term stability.
It is therefore a strong alternative to the already established lithium disilicate (glass ceramic), and can therefore be especially suitable for cases that require high porcelain crown strength. Cubic zirconia crowns can be installed both anteriorly with excellent aesthetics and posteriorly. They can also be used in dental implant treatment.
What is the manufacturing process like?
The Zolid FX cubic zirconia crown is made using computerized CAD/CAM equipment.It starts with milling the rough block on a 3D printer to the shape of the tooth.The zirconia crown is finished with the manual addition of colors and shading so that the crown has natural visual characteristics, like the neighboring teeth.The pure zirconia crown is super aesthetic and is up to 10 times stronger than ordinary (feldspatica) porcelain.
Translucent cubic zirconia crowns are suitable for bruxism patients due to their resistance
Bruxism is an oral functional disorder characterized by involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth. The excessive force generated by bruxism can cause not only muscle and joint pain in simpler cases, but also the destruction of part of the tissues (bone and gum), enamel or the structure of the dental crown in more advanced cases.
It is important to remember that before your permanent porcelain crown is made, you will receive a temporary crown. This is used to check the aesthetics and chewability of the permanent crown.
More translucent and resistant cubic zirconia crownsMore translucent and resistant cubic zirconia crownsMore translucent and resistant cubic zirconia crownsTranslucent zirconia crown for the front teeth. The two central incisor teeth (the largest) were made from pure dental zirconia
However, bruxism can be just as damaging to the structures of prosthetic crowns made from certain materials. For this reason, there has always been a need to develop prostheses with increasingly resistant and stable materials, and at the same time aesthetic (without metals in the structure).
The translucency and strength characteristics of Zolid FX are fundamental to making the prosthetic crown very comparable to natural teeth. The result is extremely aesthetic crowns and restorations with high strength and long-term stability.
ImplArt Dental Clinic only works with materials of the highest quality, developed by serious companies. For example, AmannGirrbach, which only introduces materials and equipment to the market after carrying out numerous tests and research.
Dental implant recovery and care of dental implants before and after surgery
The post-operative period for dental implants and the preparation before dental implant surgeryare certainly fundamental to the success of the procedure. We have therefore prepared recommendations for patients who are going to have a dental implant, which can also be applied to minor dental surgery.
We should certainly point out that the care of dental implant surgery is considered a simple and minor intervention from a medical point of view, with low risk for the patient. The duration of surgery is short and recovery after implant surgery is also considered to be easy for the patient, even in cases of complete oral rehabilitation.
Eat normally before the procedure if the surgery involves local anesthesia. If you have opted for sedation, follow the specific guidelines for your case, which may involve fasting.
Take the prescribed medication 1 hour before arriving at the clinic. If indicated for your case, preferably come accompanied by someone who can drive.
Stitches for dental implants should be removed between 7 and 10 days.
After implant surgery – care of dental implants urgery
What should I do afterdental implants, after implant surgery (for 48 hours)?
Apply ice to the face to prevent swelling
Avoid physical exertion
Sanitize the area with a cotton swab moistened with an antiseptic solution (Periogard, Listerine, Plax).
For 2 days: you should eat cold or iced food. For example: ice cream, jelly, juices, smoothies, soups.
Also avoid hard, crunchy foods such as bread, peanuts, etc.
On the third day you can warm up the food more and normalize your diet according to your own tolerance
What can I do 3 days after my dental implant?
Apply warm compresses to the face to reduce swelling
Exercise in moderation
Tip: In cases where a surgical guide has been used to install the implants, the expected post-operative period is milder than in normal implant surgeries.
What can I do one week after my dental implant?
Brush the operated area lightly
Mouthwash with antiseptic solution
Physical activity released
Remove the stitches at the dentist
Are there implants without cutting or stitches/care of dental implants?
There are modern computer-guided planning techniques that minimize the need to cut into the gums and therefore often do not require stitches. This is computer-guided dental implant surgery, a very up-to-date and safe procedure for implant surgery.
Post-operativecarefor implants, medication and procedures make a difference
Frequently asked questions about post-operativeimplants:
Is dental implant post-op swelling normal? What is the post-operative period of implants like?
Swelling can occur in the first few days after implants, which is why anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to be taken as soon as necessary. Cold food and ice help to reduce swelling in the mouth.
How long does it take to resume physical activity after a dental implant?
Each case is assessed individually, but in general you should wait 7 to 10 days before returning to the gym in full.
How many days to remove the dental implant stitches?
On average, you should remove the stitches from the implant surgery within 7 to 10 days.
Is it normal to feel pain after a dental implant or bone graft?

The Dental Day Clinic at Clinica ImplArt is a type of intensive care, in which we carry out one or more dental treatments in the shortest possible time. In this way, we can plan the dental treatment as a whole, whether it’s a dental implant, fixed prosthesis, protocol prosthesis or dental crown.
It is certainly an option for people with limited time because of their day-to-day tasks, or for people who suffer from odontophobia (fear of the dentist), as intensive treatment is a relief for these patients. ImplArt is one of the few dental clinics in São Paulo with the technological support and multidisciplinary team to offer day clinics*. Find out more about this convenience in the following video:
ImplArt offers a wide range of fast and efficient dental treatments. This includes dental implants, dental contact lenses, porcelain veneers and teeth whitening. Our highly qualified team is ready to provide the best care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. That’s why we guarantee that you will leave with a renewed and confident smile after your treatment at ImplArt.
Clinica Dentaria ImplArt has its own dental laboratory within the clinic, which certainly facilitates the rapid completion of work while maintaining high quality materials. The laboratory’s focus is above all on using high-tech materials such as zirconia and special porcelains by means of computerized Cad/Cam designs and 3D printing of teeth. Performing a dental treatment in one day is possible in some cases (subject to analysis).
Another facility is that radiological examinations can be carried out within the clinic, in our digital radiology center. Panoramic radiographs and CT scans with results in real time certainly help with a rapid diagnosis and, consequently, the course of action that should be adopted. Another novelty at the ImplArt Dental Clinic is sedation dentistry, where the patient remains relaxed throughout the procedure.
They are best suited to people who are afraid of going to the dentist, or of dental treatment or the famous “dentist’s machine”, the motor. For patients with health problems and who need care, we can schedule the Day Clinic at the Hospital (*valid for some types of treatment). All these factors make your dental day clinic experience at ImplArt more comfortable and productive.

All about my Dental Day Clinic at the ImplArt Clinic
Dental contact lenses are a type of ultra-thin porcelain veneer (0.2 mm) used to correct certain aesthetic problems with the teeth.
Dental contact lenses to transform the appearance of your teeth
Aesthetic treatment for stained, misaligned, asymmetrical or broken teeth
Dental lenses work like “covers” that are glued onto one or more teeth to cover stains, small fractures and other defects, or to change the shape and size of teeth. Dental contact lens treatment is the smile of the famous.
Dental contact lenses are completely computer-designed and then made from dental porcelain using milling machines (3D printers). Dental porcelain is a vitreous ceramic material (lithium disilicate) that is very resistant and mimics the texture and shade of natural teeth.
It is also a safe material and therefore totally biocompatible with the human body. The computerized design is based on images taken by an intraoral scanner – a high-precision camera.
Dental contact lenses step by step (in case of dental asymmetry)
At the end of the milling process, the dental contact lenses have a shape, color and texture comparable to natural teeth, even imitating the characteristics of neighboring teeth. Because they are ultra-thin, installation requires little or no wear on the natural teeth.
The lenses are then bonded with dental cement activated with a light-curing device. ImplArt uses one of the best contact lens light-curing devices on the market, making treatment more efficient and safer. Find out more.
Indications for dental contact lenses:
Covering stains
Change in the shape of the teeth
Change in tooth color
Enlargement of small teeth
Aligning crowded teeth
Covering small fractures
Uniformization of uneven and asymmetrical teeth
Advantages of lenses:
High resistance and long durability of the dental contact lens
Very aesthetic look, comparable to natural teeth
Minimally invasive restorations
Completely painless procedure
They don’t require much tooth grinding to be installed
Preserves the structure of the teeth
No discomfort in chewing function
Porcelain doesn’t change color over the years
Incredibly natural and harmonious result
It can be designed and executed in a short time, in some cases even in a Day Clinic.

At ImplArt Odontologia, all this work is certainly done in a precise and personalized way for each patient. This is only possible because we have CAD/CAM-based technologies on our premises, which not only carry out the computerized design of the treatment, but also the execution of the dental contact lenses. If you have any questions, please contact us.
At the ImplArt Dental Clinic we strive to offer quality care and the greatest possible convenience. That’s why our team is made up of professionals from all dental specialties. They are:
Implantology
Implantology is the area of dentistrydedicated to the treatment of edentulism (the absence of one or more teeth) with prosthetic rehabilitation supported or retained by dental implants, which can be made of titanium or even ceramic. This is the new, modern ceramic implant, the white implant, for those looking for a metal-free implant. Read more
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is the specialtyresponsible for correcting the position of teeth and jawbones for proper occlusion and alignment. The main objective of orthodontic treatments is functional improvement (chewing, articulation, speech, breathing and to avoid “opportunistic” periodontal diseases such as cavities and plaque build-up and tartar formation), but it also aims to restore an aesthetic and harmonious smile. Learn more
Correction of facial anomalies of the jaw or mandible, reconstruction of bone defects, problems of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), orthognathic surgery, treatment of retained teeth, tumors and cysts.
The specialty of prosthodonticsaims to make dental prostheses to replace lost teeth, with the aim of restoring oral function and aesthetics. It is considered dental art, since this specialty has the mission of creating prostheses that are increasingly similar to natural human teeth (in shape, color, translucency and texture). Dental prosthesis models range from the mobile type (dentures), protocol prosthesis, to dental crowns that are fixed to dental implants. Learn more
Endodontics
Endodontics is the area of dentistry responsible for treating diseases of the dental pulp, root canal system and periapical tissues. It carries out root canal treatment with the aim of maintaining the tooth and avoiding its extraction. Read more
Periodontics
Periodontics isresponsible for identifying and treating periodontal diseases, the most common of which are caries, gingivitis, plaque build-up, tartar formation and periodontitis (inflammation of the bone tissue that supports the tooth). This specialty also performs surgery to correct gummy smiles. Learn more
Dental Radiology
Dental radiology is of fundamental importance, especially for diagnosing functional problems and oral diseases using X-ray images. It also helps other specialties to plan dental implant surgery and monitor the progress of treatment or surgery that has already been carried out. These exams include panoramic radiography and computed tomography. Find out more.
In addition, the structure of the ImplArt Dental Clinic includes the main technologies used in modern dentistry, both for diagnosis and for treatment and follow-up. At Clinica Dentaria ImplArt you will find:

When extractions are unavoidable due to periodontal disease, it is likely that teeth will need to be replaced with dental implants. However, dental implants can only be placed immediately after periodontitis has been treated. If the disease is not well controlled, the success of rehabilitation with dental implants will be compromised.
Periodontal disease (periodontitis) without proper treatment can lead to tooth loss. This is because the bacterial infection gradually destroys the structures that support the teeth. As a result, the teeth soften and, depending on the case, are unable to be maintained.
This is what is known as peri-implantitis, i.e. infection around the implants. Peri-implantitis hinders osseointegration (a phenomenon necessary for implant fixation) and can lead to implant loss.
Immediately after tooth extractions, the surgeon assesses whether the bone and gum structures are compromised through clinical and radiographic examinations. He may perform minor surgery to clean the area and administer antibiotics to control the infection. The patient is instructed to maintain proper oral hygiene. In the meantime, the patient can wear a temporary prosthesis. The recovery time for periodontitis is not established, as it depends on each case.
Replacement of problematic teeth with implants,in this case protocol prosthesis
Replacing teeth with dental implants
If the bone loss after periodontitis is reasonable, dental implants can even be immediately loaded (in selected cases). If bone loss is severe, it may be necessary to perform a bone graft to rebuild the structure before placing the implants.
Unfortunately, this process is not so quick, as it is primarily necessary to wait for complete healing (from 3 to 6 months on average). After dental implants have been placed, clinical follow-up is particularly important in these cases, in order to prevent periodontitis from returning.
Dental visits should be more frequent for patients with a history of periodontal disease than in cases where tooth loss has occurred for other reasons. The surgeon may order additional imaging tests to monitor the osseointegration of the implant. Care should be taken with oral hygiene at home.
This treatment, when carried out by a specialized team and together with the patient’s valuable collaboration in terms of oral hygiene, correct use of medication, regular visits to the clinic and the patience to wait for the results, has a high chance of success.
The ImplArt Dental Clinic specializes in replacing teeth with implants after periodontal disease. Its team is made up of serious periodontists and implant dentists, trained at the country’s leading universities.
Dr Roberto Markarian, implant dentist, is the creator and director of the ImplArt Dental Clinic. The ImplArt Dental Clinic is certainly one of the main centers of technology in aesthetic oral rehabilitation and implantology in Brazil. As a result of its know-how and high technology, the ImplArt dental clinic receives patients from all over the world who are looking for high technology and knowledge to carry out their dental implant treatment.
Our clinical director holds a doctorate in implant dentistry, a master’s degree in prosthodontics, and two specializations in dental implants and prosthodontics. In addition, he has completed several training courses in the field of dentistry, not only in Brazil, but also abroad.

Beautiful, aligned teeth with faster, more comfortable orthodontic treatment
What are self-ligating braces?
Self-ligating braces are advanced orthodontic appliances that use gentler forces to move teeth and achieve results in a simple way. This model of orthodontic appliance does not require the use of elastics to hold the wire to the brackets, as is the case with conventional orthodontic appliances.
The wire passes through the channels and is held in place by small caps on each bracket. The absence of rubber bands reduces friction during tooth movement, as the wire runs smoothly in the channels, providing faster and more comfortable treatment, as well as reducing the number of appointments (conventional braces require the patient to return to the office several times to change the elastics).
Other features of self-ligating orthodontic appliances:
Tomographic studies show that the use of light, constant forces in the self-ligating system stimulates a natural adaptive process that widens the arches, creating space and a full, beautiful smile.
This is why the self-ligating system allows various types of treatment to be carried out without the need for extractions to open up spaces.
Studies show that the treatment time using self-ligating braces is up to 7 months faster than other orthodontic appliances. This is due to the 99.5% reduction in friction.
Patients report 60% less discomfort than those treated with conventional braces, as well as great satisfaction with the results at the end of treatment.
Less force required on the device and therefore greater comfort
The absence of rubber bands makes oral hygiene easier, as they facilitate the accumulation of plaque
