Aesthetic Dental Treatments

Dentistry or aesthetic dentistry is the area of dentistry that works to restore dental aesthetics. In short, the resources available to improve the aesthetics of the smile include tooth whitening, dental crowns, resin or porcelain restorations, gum surgery (gingivectomy), and the application of modern dental contact lenses.

A more beautiful, white and harmonious smile is possible thanks to dental contact lenses and other aesthetic resources

Or even after wearing braces, when you want to improve some aspects of your smile, because during treatment you can’t change the aesthetics of your teeth. Modern dental contact lenses are ultra-thin porcelain veneers, suitable for correcting aesthetic problems with the teeth, for example:

Dark spots on teeth caused by different reasons
Small fractures or chips
Dental or facial asymmetries
Irregular shape or size
Exaggerated space between teeth (diastema)
Among others.

Dental contact lenses are bonded to the surface of one or more defective teeth in a safe and non-invasive way. Because the lenses are ultra-thin, installation requires little or no wear on the teeth before they can be bonded.

Naturalness of dental contact lenses

The lenses are made from porcelain, the best bio-safe material used to make dental prostheses, which is similar to natural teeth in terms of its texture and shade, as well as its translucency.

This way, if the dental contact lens is applied to just one defective tooth, it won’t contrast with the neighboring natural teeth. It is certainly an aesthetic procedure that has come to completely change your smile for the better. At ImplArt, the lenses are designed and made by better computerized systems and 3D printers.

In conclusion, the last stage of the procedure is the preparation of the tooth, the application of dental cement and the bonding of the dental contact lens. Dental contact lenses are very durable, as long as the patient takes care not to bite down on hard objects and makes regular visits to the dental practice. Alternatively, veneers can be made from resin with a lower finish.

Porcelain dental crowns for aesthetic purposes

Dental crowns and porcelain blocks can be made in cases of tooth damage such as broken teeth. It is very common for patients with bruxism to need cosmetic treatments as they can lose part of their enamel or even entire teeth due to the force applied to their teeth.

Teeth Whitening

Gingival Dental Aesthetics Treatment

Plastic surgery on the gums can improve your dental aesthetics. Improving the appearance should be done in the context of a new dental treatment as it alters the frame of the smile. Gum peeling to remove stains, gum grafting surgeries, and gummy smile surgeries are among the options.

Aesthetic restorations

An aesthetic composite resin restoration is a dental aesthetic procedure in which a resin composite material is used to repair or rebuild the structure of an aesthetically compromised tooth.

This technique is often used to correct cavities, fractures or discolorations in order to restore the shape, function and natural appearance of teeth.

During the process, the dentist removes the damaged part of the tooth, prepares the affected area and applies layers of composite resin, carefully shaping them to ensure a perfect fit with the dental anatomy.

The resin is then hardened with special ultraviolet light.

The advantage of composite resin lies in its ability to mimic the color and texture of adjacent teeth, providing an aesthetic and long-lasting end result while preserving the structural integrity of the restored tooth.

Computerized metal-free porcelain crown

The metal-free porcelain crown provides aesthetics combined with strength and durability

What is a porcelain crown?

A porcelain crown is an artificial tooth – a dental prosthesis – that resembles in form and function a natural tooth that has been damaged. Porcelain crowns can also be grouped together to make fixed bridges or fixed porcelain prostheses. Here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic in Brazil, we make metal-free crowns using completely computerized systems. We therefore offer our patients the most modern systems and the most advanced results.

What is dental porcelain?

Porcelain is a material that resembles glass and is used to reconstruct teeth. It has a natural color and high resistance. It is also called dental ceramic.

Types and materials of porcelain crowns

In short, there are different types of materials used to make porcelain crowns: the older materials use metal and the more modern ones are metal-free. Porcelain crowns with metal internal structures are called metal-ceramic and crowns with a white structure such as zirconia are called metal-free.

There are also crowns that do not use internal structures and are made using computerized methods. In addition, covering a destroyed natural tooth with a ceramic crown is essential for oral health, as it will restore the patient’s chewing ability and even allow them to eat hard foods.

The advantage of the metal-free porcelain crown is that it is more aesthetic, since pure porcelain is a white material. As a result, the structure is not visible inside the crown even in brightly lit environments. The new generations of porcelain crowns are made using cad/cam methods according to computerized designs and don’t even require layers of internal reinforcement like metal and zirconia. They are made from a single (monolithic) material. These are digital, metal-free porcelain crowns whose main advantages are aesthetics and speed of production.

Translucent zirconia

Another innovative material for making a new porcelain crown is translucent zirconia, a material that is up to 10 x stronger than ordinary porcelain crowns. For this reason, they are highly recommended for the oral rehabilitation of back teeth and in patients with bruxism. Oral rehabilitation with crowns can be carried out on implants, on roots with root canal treatment and on natural teeth without root canal treatment.

Fitting dental crowns requires preparation (tooth wear) so that the crown fits correctly. The main digital technique we use is Cerec 3D, an intraoral molding system with scanners and robotic tooth production.

Before a permanent prosthesis is made, we will make a temporary prosthesis so that you don’t lose your tooth. After the rehabilitation treatment, you will be able to lead a normal life, eat hard food and clean your teeth every day with a toothbrush and dental floss. The ImplArt Clinic specializes in dental prostheses and can offer you a porcelain crown with state-of-the-art technology.

Porcelain crown: advantages and indications

Porcelain crowns are fixed dental prostheses that mimic the shape and appearance of natural teeth. When a tooth is badly damaged, it may be necessary to have root canal treatment and a porcelain crown. By Dr. Roberto Markarian, graduated dentist and specialist in dental prostheses and dental implants in São Paulo, Brazil.

What is dental porcelain?

Choosing the ideal dental prosthesis can lead to confusion when faced with a number of options. Fixed dental prostheses must meet both functional and aesthetic needs. These are the main objectives that determine the choice of the ideal material. Before choosing the material, it is first necessary to understand the differences between the types of porcelain dental crowns. The main one is the reinforcement technique, which is the part required for masticatory efforts. Understand the differences better:

Metal-ceramic crown

The porcelain dental crown is built on a metal structure. It is durable and aesthetic, and can be used on both anterior and posterior teeth. However, in some cases, it may not achieve the best aesthetic result on anterior teeth, because the dark metal inside the prosthesis can leave the crown looking darkened when subjected to intense lighting.

Porcelain crown with metal-free zirconia

This is a porcelain crown mounted on a white zirconia structure, which is therefore metal-free. It is highly durable and has excellent aesthetic results, as the white zirconia of the internal structure leaves the crown with a natural appearance very similar to the natural tooth. The porcelain crown with zirconia can also be fixed on dental implants and is completely computer-engineered and made on a 3D tooth printer. It is also an indication for people with metal allergies.

Pure porcelain crown

It has excellent aesthetic results and great resistance. The material used is lithium disilicate or feldspathic ceramic. Because this ceramic is very translucent, it is not normally suitable for use on darkened teeth or on metal posts.

How much does a porcelain crown cost?

Treatment prices can only be given after a face-to-face dental consultation. This is because the patient needs to be thoroughly assessed so that our team can understand their functional and aesthetic needs. Only then can we recommend the most appropriate treatment. In many cases, our team will offer a number of treatment options and respective outcome expectations, and the patient is free to choose.

Porcelain crowns can be made quickly in our clinic using our Day Clinic method for porcelain crowns. At the end of the porcelain crown treatment, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by flossing daily and brushing regularly.

If you are far away, it is possible to have an online consultation, also known as a teleconsultation. This preliminary consultation takes place with our clinical director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, who will be able to make a preliminary assessment of your case and make recommendations for your treatment. This also applies to those who need dental implants, as we can plan your dental implant surgery remotely.

Fixed prosthesis on teeth can be replaced by crowns and implants

Fixed dental prostheses on teeth are a solution for providing function and aesthetics to the smile of a person who has lost or fractured teeth. This type of prosthesis is also known as a bridge.

Fixed prosthesis on teeth to replace missing teeth

Sometimes it is installed glued over remaining neighboring teeth or attached by staples. Although this is a great solution for filling gaps, it can cause some inconvenience over time.

One of them is that this type of prosthesis is unable to stop bone resorption at the site, especially under the suspended element.

This is because the body progressively absorbs bone volume at the site of a tooth extraction without immediate replacement. In this respect, rapid dental implantation would be more appropriate.

The prosthesis doesn’t follow this movement and the tendency is for an unsightly gap to appear between it and the receding bone tissue.

This can leave the prosthesis out of place over time and the wearer may experience discomfort when chewing. Staples, on the other hand, can hurt the oral mucosa and damage the aesthetics of the smile if the metal is visible.

Another drawback of fixed prostheses on teeth is that they require wear and tear on the supporting teeth, which can make them more fragile and susceptible to diseases such as tooth decay and infiltration of canals or gum inflammation.

Replacing bridges over teeth with bridges over implants or single crowns therefore has many benefits, the main one being that it stops bone resorption. When the implant pins are installed in the bone, they function as tooth roots and the body understands that this bone is still useful.

Dental implants have other advantages:

Preserves the integrity of neighboring teeth (which do not need to be worn down);
Protects bone and gum tissue against periodontal disease and infiltration;
It is more resistant and durable;
It restores masticatory function and gives you the confidence to speak and smile;
Extremely aesthetic result. The prosthetic crown mimics the color, texture and shape of neighboring teeth. There is the aesthetic advantage of having no metal points from the staples.
When crowns are individualized, they make it possible to floss (note that the fixed prosthesis on teeth is one piece and it is not possible to floss between the teeth).

Dental implants offer several other advantages in addition to stopping bone resorption. They provide stability and security when chewing and speaking, as well as helping to preserve facial bone structure. In addition, single crowns or bridges on implants offer a more natural aesthetic, promoting a more harmonious smile.

Changing your dentures

If you have been wearing a fixed prosthesis on your teeth for many years and would like to replace it with a dental implant, you will need to undergo a professional assessment that will identify whether there is advanced bone loss or bruxism.

In some cases, bone grafting can be a solution for reconstructing lost volume. Find out more about bone grafting.

Ideally, people should try to have this replaced as soon as possible to avoid bone loss, but in cases where the gums are not healthy, the procedure may be contraindicated.

Prior periodontal treatment would then be necessary. It is important to remember that, once treatment has been completed, you should visit the dentist every 6 months for prophylaxis and to monitor the results of the treatment.

The apple cider vinegar or lemon diet and its impact on oral health

Nowadays, it’s common to find influencers on social media promoting the consumption of lemon and apple cider vinegar as miracle remedies for a variety of health problems, including weight loss, detoxifying the body, improving digestion and even preventing chronic diseases. These products are often extolled as natural solutions that are supposed to bring significant benefits to general health and even oral health. But is this true?

There is no robust scientific evidence to prove the effectiveness of lemon and apple cider vinegar for these specific purposes. In addition, the dissemination of this information, often without due scientific rigor, can lead the public into practices that, instead of improving health, can cause significant damage to teeth.

In this article, we’ll look at the damage caused to your oral health by the apple cider vinegar diet and the lemon diet. To illustrate these points, Dr. Roberto Markarian, a reference in dental implants and oral health, will help us understand the impact of this type of diet on your teeth.

Apple cider vinegar diet

The apple cider vinegar diet involves the daily consumption of apple cider vinegar, which can be added to water or to meals, such as salads, for example. According to internet gurus, apple cider vinegar could help reduce body fat, as well as reducing appetite, decreasing insulin spikes and having an antioxidant effect. However, science has no proof of the effectiveness of this diet and frequent consumption of apple cider vinegar can cause oral health problems, as we’ll discuss below.

Lemon diet

The “lemon diet” is another practice that has also gained popularity mainly on social media, being promoted as a method for detoxifying the body, losing weight and improving general health. The diet generally involves drinking lemon juice diluted with water several times a day, often on an empty stomach or before meals.

Some variations include combining lemon juice with other ingredients such as honey, ginger or apple cider vinegar. Also, in some versions, it is recommended to increase the amount of lemon and the frequency of consumption over several days, until you reach a high and repeated consumption.

Although lemon is a fruit rich in vitamin C, which contributes to the body’s immunity, this diet, like the apple cider vinegar diet, is not scientifically proven to be effective either, and the damage to oral health is concrete!

lemon diet — *Lemon diet spreads on social media without scientific basis*

Dental erosion: the risks of acidic foods for dental health

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, if the patient has a diet rich in acidic foods, the impacts can be observed when assessing them clinically. In addition to vinegar and lemon juice, these foods include orange juice and even pickles. It’s worth noting that occasional consumption doesn’t carry any risks, but rather the systemic use of foods that have corrosive potential.

Regular consumption of lemon and apple cider vinegar, especially in their concentrated form, poses a substantial risk to dental health. These products are extremely acidic –lemon contains citric acid, and apple cider vinegar is rich in acetic acid –which can lead to erosion of tooth enamel, the protective layer that coats the teeth. Erosion of the enamel can result in cavities, increased sensitivity and, in more serious cases, complex treatments such as fillings or even dental implants. These impacts can also be seen on the teeth of patients suffering from Bulimia, due to the contact of stomach acids on the mucosa and teeth.

For those patients who have dental crowns, there are also risks because the acidic environment can damage the remaining tooth structure, with infiltrations that can lead to tooth loss and the need for implants.

*Learn aboutthe types of dental implants: “Types of dental implants available”

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist and director of Clinica Dentaria ImplArt , foods with a high acid content significantly accelerate the erosion of tooth enamel. Constant acidity erodes this protective layer, exposing the dentin and increasing tooth sensitivity and the risk of cavities. According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, “The first stage is that the tooth gets white spots from acid burn, which can be stabilized if the diet is regularized. In the second stage, the damage to the tooth structure can no longer be recovered, so it is essential that patients adopt preventive measures to minimize these harmful effects.” – Dr. Roberto Markarian, Director of the ImplArt Clinic

The risk of influencers and the importance of scientific information

Digital influencers often have no scientific training and yet they spread practices that can be harmful to oral and general health. Promoting the consumption of lemon and apple cider vinegar as a solution to health problems is a classic example of how information can be misinterpreted and passed on to the public without due consideration of the risks involved.

It is therefore crucial that readers exercise caution when following health advice found on social media and seek information from reliable sources, such as health professionals and rigorous scientific studies. Educating the public about the risks associated with consuming these products can prevent damage to health and promote safer and more effective practices.

And if in doubt, always consult your doctor and dentist – only they will be able to give you informed advice based on proven techniques. So always be wary of miracle solutions and invest in knowledge!

Zirconia prosthesis for dental implants

The zirconia prosthesis is a white ceramic used to make the internal structure of a dental implant prosthesis. It is currently considered the most aesthetic material for this purpose, as its shade is very similar to natural dentin and it also allows more light to pass through (translucency).

Zirconia provides a metal-free crown with high strength and aesthetics

A crown with a zirconia structure is an aesthetic alternative to a metal structure (metal-free crown). Although very resistant, the metal structure can leave the crown looking darkened when exposed to light.

In addition, if the patient has remodeling of the gums over time, a grayish line can appear at the gingival level and cause aesthetic compromise in the smile. For this reason, metal frameworks are often recommended for posterior crowns (which require a lot of strength, but not much aesthetics).

Meanwhile, the zirconia structure can be especially suitable for the anterior region, the most visible part of the arch where aesthetic requirements are greatest. The process of making a zirconia crown is computerized using Cad/Cam systems.

Zirconia implant opens up new rehabilitation possibilities

implante de zirconia straumann pure neodent zi — Image showing zirconia dental implant posts. Both Straumann zirconia implants and the national Neodent Zi implants are available at our clinic.

When you lose a tooth, you can have a zirconia implant placed, which is a piece of white ceramic that sits in place of the tooth root. After healing, you can place a zirconia prosthesis, which is a ceramic cap that sits on top of the implant and looks like a real tooth. This combination has some benefits, such as

Beauty: zirconia is as white as teeth and doesn’t turn the gums gray like metal. What’s more, zirconia is transparent and shines like teeth, making your smile look more beautiful and natural.
Health: zirconia is a material that adapts well to bone and gums without causing allergies or inflammation. This helps with the healing and firmness of the implant.
Resistance: zirconia is a very strong material that can withstand the forces of chewing and does not wear out easily. This makes the implant and prosthesis last longer.

Therefore, the zirconia implant together with the zirconia prosthesis is a good option to recover the function and beauty of lost teeth, with a safe, comfortable and durable material.

I want to know more about the Straumann Zirconia Implant – Swiss.

I want to know more about the Neodent Zi Zirconia Implant – Brazil.

The computer-designed zirconia prosthesis

Initially, the teeth are scanned using intraoral scanners to generate a 3D digital mold. The design of the crown is made on a computer and executed on 3D tooth printers.

Finally, the crown receives a layer of porcelain that makes it look very similar to a natural tooth and can be fixed onto the dental implant. Among the indications for zirconia crowns on implants are single crowns, bridges and complete fixed prostheses.

The main advantages of a zirconia prosthesis are:

High aesthetics
Resistance
Natural result
The fixed implant prosthesis is safer and more comfortable, and does not have the mobility of a mobile prosthesis
Improves smile aesthetics and self-esteem
Improves chewing and speech
Does not stain as it can with resin prostheses

Protocol zirconia prosthesis for complete upper jaw full dental implant

The zirconia protocol prosthesis for the complete upper jaw is a fixed aesthetic prosthesis on a titanium dental implant for oral rehabilitation. It involves computerized design methods, and has become the most requested option among patients looking to combine the strength of the material with its superior aesthetic result in a total dental implant and protocol prosthesis treatment.

Designed using computerized technology and a 3D scanner, zirconia protocol prostheses with full dental implants are the most modern option for replacing completely lost teeth. Combined with fast-healing implant types, such as the Straumann implant, they allow for complete rehabilitation in a short space of time.

Today there are very modern dental implant options, such as the Straumann ceramic implant, or the Neodent Zi zirconia implant, an excellent option for those looking for metal-free implant treatment. It is also important to know that the healing time for a dental implant can vary from 1 to 6 months, depending on the type of implant chosen.

Why is the zirconia protocol the best material today?

Zirconia protocol prosthesis treatment is fully computerized. In addition, it allows for faster results, much more predictability in treatment, as it relies on computer graphics. It also allows for an aesthetically impeccable result and a lot of resistance. In addition, the treatment is carried out using only 3D scanners, without the need for the old conventional molds.

The absence of teeth certainly compromises aesthetics and the patient’s quality of life, which is why the placement of implants with prostheses is able to give the person peace of mind when chewing, speaking and smiling.

The zirconia protocol has many advantages over the conventional resin protocol with a metal structure. Its main qualities are aesthetics and high resistance.

Dental zirconia (pre-sintered zirconium oxide) is a translucent, light-colored material that allows light to pass through, just like natural teeth, and therefore offers an aesthetic result. In this sense, the structure of the Zirconia protocol prosthesis looks discreet inside the prosthesis, even if exposed in brightly lit environments. Certainly the most modern materials are the Zirconia protocol and the porcelain protocol on a total implant.

Zirconia is made using a computerized 3D method and is not a manual job

The structure of the zirconia prosthesis is a single piece, obtained by milling a rough block on a machine that works like a 3D printer. In other words, the treatment is planned on a computer using CAD/CAM technology. The milling machine then wears away the zirconia block until it reaches the shape of the structure of the prosthesis designed to be installed on a dental implant.

Finally, the zirconia structure is characterized with porcelain and the shade is obtained by brushing on specific coloring liquids for this purpose. It is possible to reproduce various shades that make up the same tooth, leaving the prosthesis looking very natural.

The zirconia prosthesis is then screwed onto the dental implants, which are strategically placed in the jaw. The fixed zirconia protocol on implants can bring great relief, especially for patients who wear dentures. What’s more, this model of prosthesis leaves the roof of the mouth free and the patient feels more comfortable chewing and speaking.

Another great advantage of the zirconia protocol prosthesis over the resin protocol is its resistance to staining. In principle, resin is a material that can stain or yellow over time and with pigmented foods.

Advantages of the zirconia protocol:

More resistant, while resin can fracture
More aesthetic result because there is no metal in the structure (Metal Free Prosthesis)
Zirconia teeth are more resistant to staining than resin teeth
Computerized design makes it possible to create a prosthesis that is more precise and suited to the needs of each patient
Faster treatment
Materials that are biocompatible with the human body

Indications for fixed zirconia dental prostheses – Zirconia Protocol

In principle, the patient needs to go for a consultation with an implant dentist at the ImplArt Dental Clinic, so that clinical criteria such as bone volume and general oral conditions can be assessed.

Maxillary rehabilitation with a zirconia protocol can be indicated for people with total upper edentulism, even those who have been wearing removable prostheses for a long time.

Metal-ceramic prosthesis for implants

Metal-ceramic prostheses, also known as porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) prostheses, offer a reliable and durable solution for patients seeking tooth replacement with both aesthetic appeal and structural strength. These prostheses consist of a metal framework covered with layers of porcelain, ensuring a natural look while providing long-lasting stability. Widely used in dental rehabilitation, PFM prostheses are ideal for patients who need durable solutions, particularly in areas of the mouth where the force of chewing is greater.

At Clínica ImplArt, the application of metal-porcelain prostheses combines advanced dental technology with expert craftsmanship, ensuring optimal results for each patient. The clinic’s dental specialists are well-versed in modern techniques that improve both the functionality and the aesthetics of these prostheses, delivering a solution that blends seamlessly with natural teeth while maintaining high resistance to wear and tear over time.

The metal-ceramic prosthesis is a traditional material for making crowns on implants

Metal-ceramic (metal + ceramic) crowns and prostheses are the most common option for making a crown or prosthesis on an implant.

How do the prostheses work with this building materials?

Metal acts as a structural reinforcement, while porcelain offers aesthetics. Therefore, the positive points of this material are: resistance, great durability and aesthetics, characteristics that are very similar to natural teeth.

Metal-ceramic dentures also have a great ability to blend in with the natural coloring of neighboring teeth. Porcelain can also be used for the prosthesis of one or more teeth on dental implants. Metal-ceramic prostheses on dental implants are undoubtedly a highly durable and comfortable option for patients.

Among the indications for metal-ceramic crowns on implants are also crowns, bridges and complete fixed prostheses. One of the great difficulties in working with metal ceramics is the need to completely hide the metal.

Example of metal-ceramic prostheses made at the ImplArt Clinic

We can do your metal-ceramic bridge in Brazil

How are the aesthetics of metal-ceramic dental crowns? Does the metal not show?

This model of crown can change over the years. Sometimes the gums can recede over time and expose a metal line, compromising the aesthetics of the smile.

Especially in areas where aesthetics are essential, we recommend zirconia crowns. These are prostheses with an internal structure made of zirconia, a white ceramic material with a shade and translucency very similar to human dentin.

In addition, the application of porcelain in metal-ceramic prostheses is completely handmade and the final aesthetic depends a lot on the skill of the ceramist (technician who works with ceramics).

Why is it necessary to place a post and core to make a dental crown?

The post and core is an important part for installing a prosthetic crown to replace a tooth that has been badly destroyed, usually as a result of decay or fractures. In cases where it is possible to preserve the root with root canal treatment, the core is installed inside the root to support the prosthetic crown.

The core is the internal reinforcement part of a dental crown

This is an important stage in providing support and strength to the porcelain dental crown. See more about dental core materials. If the crown were installed without a core, the prosthesis would probably not be able to withstand the masticatory effort and consequently its duration would be shorter.

See also this article on our blog which talks a little more about root canal treatment, core and porcelain crown. Today, the reinforcement core (dental post) can be made from various types of materials: from metal to zirconia, fiberglass and carbon fiber.

The choice of material depends on a number of factors, such as the location in the dental arch and the masticatory load that the crown will be subjected to.

The metal core is considered more resistant (especially suitable for the most hidden and used area of the arch), while zirconia is considered more aesthetic because it is white (suitable for the most visible area, i.e. the front of the arch).

The prosthetic crown can be made from two different materials: resin (plastic with a metal core) or porcelain (with a metal or aesthetic core). Porcelain is more resistant and aesthetic than resin.

The root and tooth are prepared to receive the core;
When made of metal, the impression is taken directly inside the root;
When in zirconia, the post is cemented into the root;
A core mold is taken to prepare the prosthetic crown. At ImplArt, this mold can be made conventionally (with putty) or digitally using intraoral scanners;
The crown is installed on the core;
The duration of the procedure varies, as it depends on the complexity of each case. For some people it can be carried out in a Day Clinic.

Advantages of the technique:

The dental crown restores chewing ability as well as the aesthetics of the smile;
The appearance of this type of prosthesis is very similar to natural teeth, so it is indistinguishable when fitted;
Your smile will be beautiful and complete again, free of unsightly spots such as cavities, metal restorations, absences, etc;
The roots are protected and healthy;

dental core and crown — Why is it necessary to place a post and core to make a dental crown?

Dentures are very durable, but they may need to be replaced after a few years. This need is verified during regular visits to the dentist’s office.

In cases where teeth are weakened and it is no longer possible to rebuild the tooth with a crown, dental implants are recommended. If you have any questions, please make an appointment or contact us. We’ll be happy to help you.

Aesthetic oral rehabilitation – Specialist Clinic

Aesthetic oral rehabilitation is a treatment or set of dental procedures aimed at restoring the oral function and aesthetics of a person who is suffering from missing teeth and needs implants, or whose oral function is compromised by other dental problems that affect chewing, speech and the aesthetics of the smile.

Accordingly, depending on the case, single or partial dental implants can be carried out, or so-called total implants with a protocol prosthesis, which are implants for the entire arch. Porcelain crowns or zirconia crowns can be made, designed with modern computerized systems that allow patients to regain their confidence to smile, as well as their chewing function. It is important to note that dental implant surgery is simple, and allows for major transformations in the patient’s life.

Aesthetic oral rehabilitation: which procedures?

In addition, oral rehabilitation also aims to prevent other problems from arising in the future. A complete, better and well-articulated set of teeth will certainly prevent problems with the jaw, mandible and temporomandibular joints.

ImplArt specializes in prosthetics and restoring dental aesthetics

The ImplArt Dental Clinic has a team made up of the main areas of dentistry:

Implant dentist – surgery and prosthetics for dental implants to replace roots. Cases can vary from one tooth to a prosthetic protocol for all teeth.

Endodontist – root canal treatment.

Orthodontist –orthodontic treatments, including state-of-the-art braces.

Occlusion – treatment of bite and TMJ disorders

Oro-Facial Harmonization – Improves facial aesthetics through techniques such as lip fillers (thickening the lips).

Restorative dentistry – aesthetic treatments such as whitening, application of dental contact lenses and aesthetic planning.

Oral and maxillofacial – specialist in the surgical correction of facial anomalies, such as asymmetries, TMJ dysfunctions and bone grafting.

Prosthodontist – Dental surgeon specialized in making aesthetic and conventional dental prostheses.

Prosthetist – laboratory technician specialized in making dental prostheses.

Radiologist – specializes in radiological examinations that help with diagnosis and treatment planning.

Treatment for aesthetic oral rehabilitation: 1 – Stained and scratched restorations, missing diastema teeth, short teeth, malocclusion. 2 – Aesthetic dental treatment for the installation of lenses and veneers, replacement of restorations, tooth whitening, implants and crowns

Lente de contato — 1 – Short teeth, 2 – Gingivetomy (gum lift) and tooth preparation, 3 – Temporary dental contact lenses (mockup), 4 – Permanent dental contact lenses – Whiter and longer teeth, more beautiful and harmonious smile.

All these areas can work in isolation or better together to achieve complete oral rehabilitation. ImplArt’s team of professionals is supported by a number of facilities and the best technologies, all at the same address:

In-house dental laboratory

With a specialized team and equipment that helps make modern dental prostheses quickly and precisely, much more like real teeth, such as the modern translucent zirconia prosthesis. ImplArt’s prosthetics laboratory has two of the most modern dental 3D printers on the market: the Cerec Sirona System and the Ceramill Motion 2.

They do everything from computerized three-dimensional design to milling teeth in ceramic material. Find out more by clicking here.

Digital radiology laboratory

With a digital panoramic X-ray machine and computerized tomography.

Computerized treatment and surgery planning

Exclusive software that plans and simulates various dental treatments. This way, patients know how their treatment will go before they even start it.

Day Clinic

The Day clinic is a type of service that carries out one or more dental treatments intensively. In this way, oral rehabilitation can be achieved in the shortest possible time (subject to assessment of the complexity of each case).

One of the main features of aesthetic oral rehabilitation is the porcelain dental crown

This is a dental reconstruction that aims to cover or encase a tooth that has had its structure compromised, or even after root canal treatment. Teeth with a root canal almost always need a reinforcing post to give the dental crown a better structure. The dental crown can be made from a number of porcelain options currently available.

In some cases, dental crowns can be better made in one day with the CEREC 3D dental prosthesis and crown in our clinic thanks to the technologies in our laboratories. Dental posts (cores) can be metal or aesthetic (zirconia or fiberglass).
