Computerized dental aesthetics uses computerized programs for digital smile planning that have certainly helped dentistry.They are used to plan and simulate various dental treatments, including implants, dental contact lenses and fixed prostheses. They make it possible to design completely personalized treatments.
Predictable results with digital dental treatment planning
As a result, they increase the patient’s understanding of the stages of their treatment, thus aligning expectations with the proposed treatment, and above all allow the dentist to have greater predictability of results.
With computerized dental treatment planning, the dentist can design crowns, restorations, aesthetic treatments, dental contact lenses as well as plan the placement of dental implants.
The purpose of digital smile planning is to create a personalized treatment, seeking the harmony of the smile, as well as avoiding unnecessary procedures and consequently making treatment faster, more comfortable and more accurate.
Now, with the latest Cerec Primemill milling machine, the results are even more precise and more detailed.
Computerized dental aesthetics (Smile Design)
A great feature of computerized dental treatment planning programs is image overlay. This involves positioning the digital plan over the patient’s photo, making it easier for the patient to understand their treatment before they even start.
Digital smile design begins with capturing the patient’s oral images using an intraoral scanner. These images are transformed into a computerized 3D model of the dental arches.
In this way, the dentist visualizes the initial state and designs crowns, restorations or dental contact lenses to solve various problems that compromise the aesthetics and harmony of the smile.
Intraoral scanning for digital smile planning
Some cases that can be planned on a computer:
Increase in the length or volume of one or more teeth.
Aligning asymmetrical teeth
Making restorations for broken or decayed teeth
Making dental contact lenses
Harmonization of teeth with facial biotype
Even tooth shade
Replacing unsightly restorations with porcelain restorations
The dental treatments planned on the computer also allow for quick dental treatments in the Day Clinic (or Dental Spa – intensive care modality).
Digital smile planning with dental implants
Digital planning of dental implants helps to ensure that the treatment result is tailored to the patient’s needs. It also helps to ensure that the treatment is efficient and as minimally invasive as possible, thus avoiding surgical accidents (such as hitting sensitive structures).
Planning begins with a computerized tomography scan. In this sense, the three-dimensional images of the tomography allow the implant dentist to know details such as the volume and dimensions of the bone in order to determine the best positions for the implants and the choice of implants with dimensions suited to the needs of each patient.
The dentist also has the option of ordering a surgical guide, which is made based on the information from the CT scan. The surgical guide acts as a template, with the exact indications of where the perforations should be made.
As a result, unnecessary cuts and punctures are avoided, meaning treatment is less invasive and recovery is quicker and more comfortable.
At the same time, guided surgery makes it possible:
Prior surgical and prosthetic planning, resulting in a more precise procedure;
Respect for bone structures and the path of nerves and vessels;
A reduction in the indication for bone grafting surgeries, as this requires detailed prior planning of the case;
Planning aesthetic and functional procedures;
Better post-operative recovery;
Better communication between patient and dentist, contributing to greater trust during treatment.
Digital orthodontic treatment planning
Digital orthodontic treatment is fully computer simulated and planned using an intraoral scanner and specialized software. The intraoral scanner is used to capture precise images of the teeth and gums and thus create a three-dimensional color mold of the arches. The software uses these images to simulate the movement of the teeth to the desired position.
Models with the proposed final treatment can be 3D printed for verification if the orthodontist prefers. Digital molds can be used not only to plan orthodontic treatment with conventional braces, but also with braces in the form of aligner plates(Invisalign or Compass).
ImplArt Odontologia uses the main technologies ever developed for computerized dental treatment planning. From intraoral scanning to the execution of prostheses, restorations and aesthetic dental contact lenses on 3D printers.

Orofacial harmonization is a relatively new dental specialty, but it allows the specialized dental surgeon to perform aesthetic and functional procedures on the face and neck.
This specialty has emerged as an artifice to complement orofacial aesthetics, and always combined with dental treatment, it aims to create harmony with the patient’s smile and other facial features.
What is orofacial harmonization?
A dentist specializing in orofacial harmonization is one who is qualified to carry out techniques and procedures to balance aesthetics and oral function, improving some aspects of the patient’s face, but always seeking benefits for their health. The aesthetic and functional procedures of orofacial harmonization bring benefits for a more rejuvenated appearance, above all improving personal self-esteem.
Orofacial harmonization is a dental specialty and is duly regulated by the Federal Council of Dentistry (Resolution 198/2019),
Dentists specializing in orofacial harmonization need to complete a specialization course with a minimum of 500 hours to be recognized.
Here are some of the procedures included in orofacial harmonization:
Bichectomy
What Bichectomy is for
The surgery is mainly indicated to thin the face and improve its shape by reducing the size of the cheeks, but it can also be indicated to reduce trauma in some cases of people who bite their cheeks on the inner mucosa of the mouth. It is an aesthetic procedure that has already been widely adopted by celebrities, but is now much more accessible to everyone.
Orofacial harmonization
Bichectomy surgery
The surgery is performed by a dentist trained in this technique and consists of removing two fatty tissues located on either side of the face between the jaw and the mandible, called Bichat’s balls. First, an anesthetic is applied and then small incisions are made in the oral mucosa (inside of the mouth) to remove the Bichat’s balls with the help of tweezers. Finally, small sutures are made and the patient is given instructions on how to recover after the operation, which should be calm and with little or no pain.
Bichectomy risks: there may be asymmetry in the result, but this is rare and is more likely to happen if performed by professionals who are not trained in this technique.
Value of Bichectomy: procedure values can only be provided after a consultation and evaluation of each case.
Bichectomy cons: the procedure is indicated with great caution, assessing each case and the patient’s needs. In principle, the procedure is not indicated for people undergoing cancer treatment, people with active local infections, pregnant women, people with heart problems or diseases that could compromise coagulation and healing, people with limited mouth opening and minors.
Lip Filling with Hyaluronic Acid
Orofacial harmonization
The lip filler procedure performed with hyaluronic acid is a resource for harmonizing the shape of the lips and making them more proportional to the face. It is indicated for increasing lip volume, improving lip contour or correcting lip asymmetry.
The technique is an alternative for people with very thin lips, or for lips that have become thin, flabby and wrinkled as they age or as a result of smoking. It is also a resource for harmonizing the lips after dental treatment, such as a new dental prosthesis.
Lip fillers how it’s done: the procedure consists of applying a local anesthetic and then applying hyaluronic acid to the inside of the lips using a microcannula or needle. The substance does not cause any side effects or rejection in the body.
The technique is carried out by a dentist specializing in orofacial harmonization to obtain a natural lip filling, without exaggeration and which favours the aesthetics of the smile and face. It is normal for swelling to occur immediately after a lip filling, which can last up to 48 hours after application.
Orofacial harmonization
How long does lip filler last?: The result of a filler is temporary because the hyaluronic acid is slowly absorbed. However, the effect can last up to a year and a half.
Lip filler sp price: the cost of the procedure can only be given during a face-to-face consultation to assess each case.
Contraindications: in principle, minors, pregnant women, active local infections (such as herpes) and people with autoimmune diseases.
Filler for Chinese Moustache (Nasogenian Furrow)
Orofacial harmonization
The Chinese moustache is characterized by a deep wrinkle that runs from the nasal wing to the corner of the mouth (smile mark). It affects both men and women and is associated with skin ageing, in which there is a natural loss of fat and collagen, with unprotected sun exposure which leads to sagging skin and with smoking. It is also related to a genetic predisposition, excessive loss/gain of body weight, as well as repeated sleeping in the prone position with the face resting on the hand.
There are a number of ways to improve the appearance of this expression mark, and the procedure depends on the degree of depth, the main one being filling with hyaluronic acid. This involves applying the biomaterial subcutaneously to the area in order to fill and elevate the depressed line, leveling it with the skin.
What is the Chinese moustache filling procedure like?
The procedure is carried out simply and quickly by a dental surgeon qualified in orofacial harmonization. It is not capable of altering the natural features of the face, only correcting these imperfections. Superficial wrinkles can be treated with botulinum toxin (Botox).
Initially, a local anesthetic is applied. The furrows are then filled with hyaluronic acid. Finally, the patient is given instructions for the post-procedure period, but the recovery is very smooth and the patient is ready to return to work.
How long does a Chinese moustache filler last? The effect of the filler can last up to a year and a half, depending on the amount of material injected and the depth of the furrow.
How much does a Chinese moustache filler cost? The cost of the treatment is only given in consultation after a careful assessment of each case.
Treatment of jowls on the neck (jowl lipo)
Orofacial harmonization
Treatment of jowls with deoxycholic acid
What can I do to get rid of my jowls? This is one of the most frequently asked questions by those looking to improve their appearance and achieve a more rejuvenated look. Reducing jowls (submental fat) is also one of the aesthetic procedures that a dentist specializing in orofacial harmonization is qualified to treat.
The procedure is also known as jowl lipo, enzymatic jowl treatment or lipolysis of submental fat.
How deoxycholic acid works for jowls
Deoxycholic acid is a substance naturally found in the human body and acts to metabolize fats, i.e. it breaks down fat cells (adipocytes), stimulating an inflammatory reaction by the body at the site. This helps to eliminate the broken down fat (a process that should take place over a maximum of 30 days).
With this elimination of fat cells, there is a reduction in fat deposits and an improvement in the contour of the neck, as well as a tightening effect on the skin (not applicable in cases of severe sagging).
What is the chemical lipo procedure like?
Before starting the application, a topical anesthetic is used to eliminate any possible discomfort from the needle prick. We then apply deoxycholic acid in the form of a synthetic drug to the adipose tissue, distributed in small quantities over the entire length of the jowls.
In the first few days, swelling, bruising, pain (which can be controlled with painkillers), erythema (redness) and numbness may occur, but this is normal and is part of the fat elimination process. During this period it is recommended not to take anti-inflammatory drugs, as they prevent the product from working.
Up to six sessions are recommended to obtain a satisfactory result (depending on the degree of fat accumulation), with intervals of one month between each session.
In some cases, treatment can be enhanced with the use of a compression/microporous bandage at night after the fourth day of application, as well as local drainage to help reduce swelling and speed up the elimination of fat.
Duration of jowl treatment: the effect of the treatment does not have a set time, but it is expected that the accumulation of fat in this area will not return, except in cases of excessive weight gain.
Contraindications to deoxycholic acid for jowls: in principle, local infection, pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with cysts at the site of the jowls, goiters or thyroid nodules.
How much does jowl lipo cost? The cost of the treatment is provided through a face-to-face consultation and an assessment of the complexity of each case.
Application of botulinum toxin – botox
Orofacial harmonization
Botox to treat bruxism
Bruxism is a parafunctional disorder that causes people to grind their teeth or clench their teeth involuntarily during sleep. The excessive force of bruxism causes wear and tear on the teeth, pain in the muscles and bones (joints, jaw), as well as ringing in the ears and head and neck pain.
It can also cause clicking in the temporomandibular joints when chewing or opening the mouth and gum recession. Patients with bruxism need to be very well assessed and monitored, and treatment may involve the work of different health specialists.
Botox can also be applied by the dentist for aesthetic improvements to the patient’s lips and face
One of the resources for treating bruxism is the application of botulinum toxin. It acts by inhibiting the contraction of the temporal and masseter muscles in the jaw, thus reducing muscle activity in cases of teeth clenching, and applied to the muscles responsible for masticatory movements (the same ones responsible for the involuntary contraction of bruxism) to contract them and thus reduce teeth grinding.
Botulinum toxin is not normally used in isolation to treat bruxism. It is almost always combined with the use of bite plates(myorelaxing plates) and bite correction, among other procedures.
How is Botox applied for bruxism?
Applications to block the muscles are made in one appointment and the benefits are seen within the first 48 hours. The blockade can last up to six months, so botulinum toxin needs to be periodically reapplied to maintain the effect.
Botox for bruxism price: the price of the treatment is given in consultation with a dentist who will carefully assess each case and recommend the most suitable treatment. A consultation is required to find out the price of Botox. According to the regulations of the Federal Council of Dentistry (Resolution 198/2019), yes, dentists can apply Botox.
In dentistry, the application of botulinum toxin (Botox) is also very useful for correcting asymmetries in the smile or face in the middle and lower thirds, for treating gummy smiles, treating orofacial pain related to TMJ disorders or the muscles involved in chewing, softening expression lines in the middle and lower thirds, and even controlling excessive saliva production.
This practice is also preventative, as complete and well-articulated teeth prevent problems with the jaw and mandible.
Healthy and beautiful teeth with oral rehabilitation at Day Clinic
Problems that arise as a result of a lack of preventive care can develop, become harmful and much more complex in the future. For a smile to be considered healthy and functional, the entire set of teeth, bones, facial muscles and soft tissues must work together in harmony.
Frequent toothaches or even facial muscle pain, swollen or bleeding gums, plaque build-up, cavities, the absence of one or more teeth, clicking or joint pain when opening and closing the mouth, facial asymmetry, yellowed or stained teeth are some of the signs that something is wrong with oral health and aesthetics.

Digital smile planning makes it possible to design completely personalized treatments.It allows the patient to understand the stages of their treatment, thus aligning their expectations with the proposed treatment, and above all: it allows the dentist to have greater predictability of results. This applies to dental implant treatments, fixedprostheses and other types of dental prostheses, porcelain crowns and zirconia.

The use of Computer Graphics (3D) has helped in the planning and simulation of various dental treatments.
Thus, with computerized dental treatment planning, the dentist can design dental crowns, restorations, aesthetic treatments, dental contact lenses and plan the placement of dental implants in 3D. The aim of digital smile planning is to create a personalized treatment, seeking the harmony of the smile and also avoiding unnecessary procedures. As a result, it also makes treatment quicker, more convenient and more precise.When it comes to implant treatment, the speed of digital prostheses, combined with the choice of a rapid implant type, means that significant treatment times can be shortened.
With modern resources and equipment, it is possible to mill materials such as pure porcelain or pure zirconia. The modern Cerec Primemill, the latest German milling machine, which joins the team of milling machines in our digital laboratory, allows for even more precise results with even more detail.
A great feature of computerized dental treatment planning programs is image overlay. This involves positioning the digital plan over the patient’s photo, making it easier, for example, for patients to understand their treatment before it starts.
In a nutshell, digital smile design begins with capturing the patient’s oral images using an intraoral scanner. These images are then transformed into a computerized 3D model of the dental arches.
The dentist then visualizes the initial state and designs crowns, restorations or dental contact lenses in order to solve various problems that compromise the aesthetics and harmony of the smile.

Find out the most frequently asked questions about prostheses on implants
Are implants aesthetically pleasing?
In short, it depends a lot on the system used and the local conditions. Aesthetics have improved a lot in recent years. But it’s important to bear in mind that, however good the implant and the professional, the first is still a prosthesis on an implant, i.e. the replacement of natural teeth with artificial ones.
Therefore, expectations regarding implants are common, but can usually be followed by a certain amount of frustration. In many cases, the aesthetic solution is quite acceptable. Fortunately, there have been many advances, not only in the materials used to make prostheses, but also in techniques.
Nowadays we can build prostheses that look more and more like natural teeth. However, the main objective must always be functional. The implant is far superior to other prosthetic procedures, and in the absence of teeth, it’s the best we can do.
In simpler cases, some kind of temporary implant prosthesis is provided for the patient to use immediately after surgery. In the case of the totally edentulous, the period is limited to a few hours to a few days after the first surgery. In the second stage, once the implants have healed, the patient is not left without the prosthesis. In some cases, the immediate loading technique can be used.
Can I eat anything after the prostheses have been fitted? What if I fracture a tooth in the implant-supported prosthesis, is the implant lost?
Not everything can be eaten, but the restrictions are not too severe. Certain foods can even fracture natural teeth. In short, a diet with a minimum of care is sufficient to preserve the teeth of implant-supported prostheses. One positive fact is that repairing fractured teeth is relatively easy.
What happens if the implant (post) becomes mobile after the prosthesis (tooth) has been placed?
All mobility is progressive and indicates that the implant has been lost. Each case is assessed individually and, in principle, the implant can almost always be replaced. This event brings frustration not only for the patient, but also for the dentist. In fact, what happens is an increase in treatment time and, above all, the need to be patient in order to complete it.
I have a full upper prosthesis. I would like to know about the possibility of placing an overdenture without a palate. How many implants? What are the costs?
The overdenture without a palate is a good option because it makes the wearer feel more comfortable. To do this, at least four implants need to be placed. Another option is a fixed prosthesis on implants. This would require four to six implants.
The cost of this type of treatment is variable and it depends on tests to predict the availability of bone in the area. In other words, prices can only be given after a face-to-face consultation and an assessment of the particularities of each case.
I would like to know about the possibility of replacing two removable prostheses with staples with fixed prostheses without staples or implants. I would also like to eliminate the visualization of the staples in my smile.
A treatment like this appears to be of little complexity and can be completed in a short time, according to our Day Clinic philosophy. We always suggest that you also have your teeth whitened to make your whole smile whiter and more aesthetically pleasing.
I have two fixed bridges (one on each side) on the top and I have two implants started (the pins have been placed). I’d like to complete the implants and replace all my teeth with nice white ones, because mine are yellow and the bridges are old with the metal showing. I would also like to know how many days it would take to do a treatment.
I wear lower and upper dentures. Can I get my teeth back? Can you provide information on costs?
Nowadays it is possible to restore teeth even for people who have been wearing dentures for many years. There are many alternatives, especially dental implants. To get an estimate on the price of dental implants, you’ll need a face-to-face consultation and more detailed examinations, which can easily be carried out at our clinic.
Example of replacing a denture with a fixed zirconia prosthesis on implants
Should I go back to the dentist after having my teeth fitted?
At least one clinical radiographic check-up is required every year. It is also the patient’s obligation to attend these check-ups. Appointments are important to identify any problems in time for them to be reversed. They are also used to carry out professional cleaning of the prosthesis, to assess whether the user is performing daily oral hygiene properly, among other aspects that only a professional dentist can identify.
Will chewing ability improve after implants?
Above all, implants have much better functional results than dentures and removable prostheses. Patients who have been wearing dentures for a long time and have implants fitted feel the difference is very significant. The fixed implant prosthesis does not move and the patient certainly feels more comfortable and secure when chewing, speaking and smiling.
I’ve heard that porcelain is the best material for teeth. If I want an implant-supported prosthesis with porcelain teeth, would that be possible?
If you have any further questions about prostheses on implants, please contact us through one of the channels below or make an appointment. We’ll be happy to help you!
These are examples of questions frequently asked by patients. To clear up these doubts, it’s important to bear in mind a few points that go deeper than just the dental implant price. Here at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt, patients have their initial consultation directly with our clinical director, implant dentist Dr. Roberto Markarian, who clarifies all the information about implants during the first consultation.
Let’s follow more honest information about the price and cost of dental implants and prostheses and find out what influences the cost of implant treatment:
Dental implant costs can be determined by the type of dental implant used
There are currently several types of dental implants available and different types of dental prostheses, which give patients different options. The most suitable option for your case will be made in consultation, and your opinion will be very important in the final choice process. The characteristics of each material are presented so that the patient can choose with all the information about healing times and execution methods. In this regard, we should point out that there are everything from titanium implants to the modern ceramic implant, the only metal-free option and an excellent choice for those seeking biological dentistry.
There are fast-healing dental implants, such as the Straumann Slactive implant, as well as national implants with longer healing times. Therefore, your choice cannot be based solely on the price of an implant, but rather on a number of factors.
Dental implants how much ? How much does a dental implant cost? How much is a dental implant?
Of course, many of the calls and messages we receive relate to the cost of dental implants, total implants, dental contact lenses and dental treatments in general. And these questions above are the most frequently asked. How much the patient will spend on their dental implant treatment is undeniably one of the topics that causes concern for the patient.
However, it’s important to point out that there are currently several types of implants and prostheses, and that with so many options, it will certainly be easier to choose the ideal one for each case. We always try to explain that these questions can only be answered legitimately, through a dental consultation. There are two main reasons for this:
1. The first is that the Code of Ethics of the Federal Council of Dentistry forbade dentists from carrying out consultations in person. However, with the pandemic, online consultations with dentists were allowed. In this way, after an online consultation we will be able to provide you with an estimate of Dental implants how much they will cost
2. The second is that dental treatments can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient. There are numerous factors that influence treatment planning, for example:
Does the case require bone grafting or not? What type of implant will be chosen? Are there other treatment options available? What about the type of prosthesis? Immediate or delayed loading? Will a less invasive implant be used? Is it guided surgery, where a prior surgical guide is made?
The good news for those who live far away, whether abroad or in other states, is the possibility of making an initial consultation remotely, the online consultation.
Types of implants and crowns influence the value of dental implants / Dental implants how much ?
What’s more, many patients are unaware of the different types of implant, which, above all, can offer different recovery times and different indications. So there is a wide range of choices, and surely one will be right for you.
In this way, these more modern dentalimplants make it possible to shorten the treatment time with the rapid healing they offer.
It is also important to note that there are several types of prosthesis to be made on these dental implants, and the choice will be made jointly by the patient and specialist, depending on the desired results. Therefore, at your initial consultation, all the characteristics of each type of implant and prosthesis will be presented for your choice.
Type of implant chosen: The brand of post has an influence on How much does a tooth implant cost? The final cost of a dental implant treatment depends on a number of factors, such as the materials used, the qualifications of the professional, the technique used, among others. Therefore, the price of the total dental treatment will vary on the market.
How do I know the price of implant treatment? How much do dental implants cost?
First of all, it’s important to bear in mind that when it comes to quality dental treatments, the price of a dental implant can’t always be the deciding factor in the choice, but rather the quality of the service being offered. It is therefore essential that patients make their choice based on the trust and credibility of the clinic or professional providing the service, as well as the technical knowledge of the professionals, their years of practice and the technique to be used.
Undeniably, not every dental implant treatment is the same, firstly because of the differences in each case, and secondly because each professional has their own practice, technique and theoretical background. That’s why it’s very difficult to choose a professional based on price alone. If it’s too cheap, be wary! High-quality materials and qualified professionals have their value. Remember that the effort the professional has put into their qualifications throughout their career makes a direct difference to the outcome of your treatment!
How to measure the value of dental implants in the total dental treatment? what is the fair value/ Dental implants how much ?
As a result, we are able to offer the most modern technologies worldwide, which makes treatments more precise, faster and more comfortable for the patient. That’s why the ImplArt Implant Clinic is so sought after by patients who come from abroad, looking for the latest technology aligned with the best practices in dentistry worldwide, to carry out their intensive Day Clinic treatment. You should know that, for those who come from far away, it is possible to make an online consultation beforehand and with our technology, planning your dental implant surgery remotely is possible.
Dental implant and prosthesis techniques affect the value of dental implants
There are certainly several options for materials and techniques that influence the composition of a budget. What’s more, a treatment that may be suitable for one person may not be the right one for another.
Therefore, it is especially important to be assessed by a talented implant dentistry professional, who will evaluate each specific case and make the most appropriate recommendation to solve each case. Just to illustrate how treatment prices can vary, and the importance of a face-to-face assessment, at Clinica Dentária ImplArt we offer various dental implant options and different types of prostheses.
Short implants? Faster healing implants? Upon receiving a treatment recommendation, the patient will choose the type of implant and dental prosthesis they prefer with the dentist, after explaining the technical characteristics of each type.
The importance of an evaluation appointment to find out the cost of a dental implant
Another aspect that needs to be addressed is that patients may think they have a dental problem and believe that a particular treatment may be the most appropriate, but in reality it may be something else.
The dental surgeon is the professional who is qualified to look at oral health in general, as well as giving the necessary recommendations to keep teeth beautiful and healthy throughout life. That’s why it’s important to know that there is a wide range of options for solving the same problem.

Treatment planning involves various strategies and options of materials and techniques with different prices: cheaper or more expensive
At ImplArt Dental Clinic, we believe that dental treatment goes far beyond a simple monetary dental implant value.
There are important factors that influence cost-effectiveness, such as the health and well-being that a healthy set of teeth provides. We can mention the confident improvement in the patient’s self-esteem and the patient’s comfort during procedures with modern techniques and methodologies aimed at the patient’s well-being.
In this sense, the relationship of trust between patient and dentist, and above all our empathy for the patient, often brings with it anxieties, expectations, fears and even trauma from previous experiences. What do you think your smile is worth?
Frequently asked questions about dental implant prices and rehabilitation treatments
Does the Dental Implant Clinic charge for the first consultation?
Yes, the first consultation, the assessment consultation, has a cost. Without a doubt, it is important to note that the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, classifies it as an ethical infringement to offer free consultations and diagnoses, as well as to display the cost of dental implants in a generic manner.
At the ImplArt Dental Clinic, the patient will be assessed by the clinic’s director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, who holds important academic degrees such as Master’s, Doctorate and Specialist in Prosthodontics and Implantology.
It is also important to note that our clinical director has extensive experience in thousands of treatments for functional and aesthetic oral rehabilitation, with dental implants and prostheses. He is also considered a benchmark in digital implants and prostheses, with 3D modeling, which is why we receive patients who come from all over the world in search of our quality of care, not just for the value of dental implants.
Because of his knowledge and credibility, he is sought out by patients from all over the world and is responsible for guiding the team of highly qualified specialists who make up the Clinic’s team. Therefore, it is from his experience and solid academic background that he will propose a solution to the patient’s problem, supported by the most modern practices in world dentistry.
What can be requested at the initial consultation?
In order to allow for an in-depth analysis of the case,the patient may be asked toundergo some radiological examinations to help with the diagnosis and treatment planning.
Of course, if the patient already has previous, recent tests (up to 1 year), these can be presented at the initial consultation. Undoubtedly, the examinations are a fundamental tool for a complete analysis of the patient’s needs and for determining the cost of the dental implant.
There are dentists who don’t charge for consultations, why do you?
First and foremost, we follow the rules of the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, which specifies that dental services cannot be free of charge, in the same way as medical consultations.
Certainly the culture in dentistry is improving and the number of dentists who charge for consultations is growing. It’s important to make sure that, above all, the dentist who will be seeing you has studied at university and takes frequent postgraduate courses.
Your time is valuable, just as it is in other health professions. I’m sure you also want highly qualified treatment, and we have the technical knowledge and the latest technology to offer it.
Do you accept any dental plans?
In order to offer patients the most modern treatments, our treatments are private.
In fact, most dental plans don’t offer cover for dental prostheses, implants or aestheticprocedures, which are precisely the focus of our clinic. However, plans can be used for the reimbursement system or free choice, depending on the value of the dental implant.
There are certainly companies that offer this system to their employees. In this way, the patient pays for their treatment and then, through the specific procedures of each plan, receives part or all of the amounts paid, according to the rules of each plan. In this case, we offer support so that you can apply for reimbursement.
Can I send my tests by e-mail to get a better idea of the cost of treatment before I go to the clinic?
Nowadays, for those who live abroad or in other cities and want to schedule their trip to the Day Clinic for treatment , it is possible to have an online consultation (Teleodontology). What are the cases in which we can carry out an online consultation?
Care for patients who are already undergoing treatment and are unable to return to the office.
Obtain information on the best time to resume treatment for people in the coronavirus risk group
Attending to people from other cities, states or countries.
Patient monitoring between scheduled appointments
If you are in or passing through São Paulo, we remind you that face-to-face consultations are always more productive. Therefore, the online version of the consultation is intended primarily for those who are physically far away. Due to the rules of the CFO Council of Dentistry, we cannot publish the cost of dental implants.

Gum grafting is used to try and reconstruct an area of the mouth that has suffered from receding or lost gum tissue. Gum recession can occur due, for example, to brushing too hard, gum disease, bruxism or prolonged use of braces. To reduce the effect of the problem, gum grafting is usually indicated.
This is a surgical procedure that consists of removing a piece of mucosa from the patient’s own palate (roof of the mouth) and then placing it over the defect. The material is removed under local anesthesia and the person feels no pain, only slight discomfort.
When healthy, the gums form a protective collar around the tooth. There are two types of gum: the inserted gum, which is a pink, thicker tissue that surrounds the tooth and is adhered to by the bone tissue, and the mucosa (non-inserted gum), a thin, soft and highly mobile tissue that forms the inside of the cheeks and lips. When the gums are unhealthy, we first need to restore their health by removing the bacteria with a periodontal scraping.
Gum defect needs grafting
A gingival defect (receding gums) usually occurs as a result of gum inflammation, caused by a tooth fracture for example. It happens when the gum tissue retracts, almost always due to excessive force when brushing the teeth. The retraction of the gum tissue leaves the tooth root exposed, causing tooth sensitivity and compromising the aesthetics of the teeth. In the case of dental implants, receding gums can expose the base of the implants.
There can also be gum loss due to trauma, accidents or periodontal disease. In these cases, the gums lose their original shape and the aesthetics of the smile can be compromised, especially in the area of the front teeth. In some cases, the placement of dental implants leaves the gums with an inappropriate shape, and this defect can also be corrected with the gum grafting technique.
It is important to note that the gingival grafting procedure does not guarantee success. Even if the procedure is carried out perfectly in terms of technique, there may be tissue necrosis and a consequent loss of the grafted tissue.
After gum surgery
To prevent pain, the patient uses medication (anti-inflammatories) before and after surgery. The dentist can also use “surgical cement”, a protective barrier that is fixed in place where the operation took place. It sticks to the teeth and gums for around five days.
The donor area is not left unprotected after the procedure, as it is sutured (stitched) and this protection helps to maintain its aesthetics and shape, even after a small piece has been removed. Among the main precautions after gum surgery, diet is the most important. The patient should follow the post-surgical recommendations, which are the same as for implant surgery, eating soft, cold food for the first few days to avoid bleeding, infections, and to help with analgesia and healing.
Acidic foods should also be avoided so as not to irritate or sting the gums. As an alternative to gum grafts, prostheses can be made to disguise the aesthetic problem, either with more favorable tooth shapes or with prostheses containing artificial gum. Each case is assessed individually.
The Implart clinic offers dental implant services and porcelain crowns for them. Implants are performed to replace lost teeth or teeth that cannot be maintained. Porcelain crowns are prostheses that we recommend to restore damaged teeth, such as advanced caries or teeth broken due to accidents. They are also indicated in cases of tooth mobility caused by periodontal disease, when extraction is necessary.

The application of the crown on tooth in short is recommended when the root of the tooth can still be maintained and the application of the crown on implant is when the tooth is completely lost, i.e. the tooth root is also extracted must be replaced by a titanium dental implant pin.
The porcelain crown is currently the material with the closest visual and physical characteristics to a natural tooth. ImplArt only works with high-performance porcelain so that the prosthetic crown looks almost indistinguishable from the neighboring teeth.
The porcelain crown can be made with internal metal reinforcement (usually recommended for posterior teeth) or with metal-free white zirconia reinforcement (recommended for anterior teeth due to the aesthetic needs of the smile).
What is the difference between a porcelain crown and a dental contact lens?
Reconstruction and protection of teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
Because they are made from state-of-the-art porcelain, the crowns are highly aesthetic, resistant and durable.
How is the Day Clinic procedure done?
ImplArt Odontologia has a structure that allows several dental procedures to be carried out intensively at the Day Clinic, including the placement of porcelain crowns. The structure is made up of computerized systems that speed up the design and manufacture of prostheses, a dental laboratory within the clinic, as well as a multi-specialized team to carry out a complete treatment, from diagnosis to completion.
Porcelain crowns are a procedure carried out by ImplArt Odontologia. Porcelain crowns are fixed prostheses used to replace lost or damaged teeth. These crowns can be placed over natural teeth or dental implants. ImplArt offers the service of placing porcelain crowns at the Day Clinic – Dental Spa, with convenience and agility. These porcelain crowns provide patients with aesthetics and functionality.
The computerized design of the porcelain dental crown is made according to a digital molding of the teeth obtained through a scan of the teeth. This makes it possible to design pieces that are completely customized to each patient’s needs. The crown is made by 3D tooth printers.
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!
