The application of dental contact lenses is a modern technique that primarily serves to correct aesthetic problems in the teeth, making them more beautiful and uniform. This is one of the dental aesthetic procedures that the ImplArt dental clinic can carry out with more agility in Day Clinic service for patients who come from other states or even abroad.
What are dental contact lenses?
Dental contact lenses are very thin sheets of porcelain (only 0.2 mm thick) used to correct certain aesthetic problems with the teeth, such as stains, chips, exaggerated gaps between teeth (diastemas), very short teeth, asymmetrical teeth, among others.Dental contact lenses are therefore custom-designed on a computer and manufactured on 3D printers. They are made from computerized Emax porcelain, which is why they can be called Porcelain Lenses.
Porcelain is a biosecure material with visual characteristics very similar to natural teeth. Ultra-thin dental contact lenses are different from ordinary veneers, as they require less or no wear on the teeth to be applied. Other advantages of contact lenses at Day Clinic:
Completely painless procedure
Possibility of changing the shape, size and color of teeth
Preserves tooth structure
The lenses do not cause any discomfort to the chewing function
Long durability
There is no color change in porcelain over the years
How are dental contact lenses applied at the Day Clinic?
1 – ImplArt’s specialized professional takes a digital mold of the teeth using intraoral scanners.
2 – The result is then digitally simulated using software so that it can be presented to and approved by the patient;
3 – The approved model is then sent to the laboratory to have the ultra-thin, highly durable porcelain dental contact lens made. The lens is made using 3D printers, which guarantee the quality of the work;
4 – The dentist glues the dental contact lens with specific adhesive material to the front of the previously prepared tooth.
The Day Clinic service is a great option for people who want or need to solve aesthetic problems with their teeth in just a few days, such as during a quick trip to São Paulo or due to the proximity of an important event.
In less complex cases, the ImplArt dental clinic applies dental contact lenses with all the convenience of Day Clinic planning. Normally, this whole process takes between 7 and 30 days, but with ImplArt’s Day Clinic planning, this time can be reduced. The application of this technique, as well as the shortened time frame, depends on a clinical analysis to verify feasibility and ensure a good indication.

Learn about the latest orthodontic treatment techniques for correcting teeth used at ImplArt. Aesthetic braces, self-ligating orthodontic braces, transparent aligners (invisible / transparent orthodontic braces) are some examples of how the evolution of techniques allows us to meet the various needs of those who need to align their teeth and achieve a more beautiful smile.
Braces types
Orthodontics is a dental specialty aimed, among other things, at correcting teeth, treating functional and aesthetic irregularities of the teeth and dental occlusion. Orthodontic treatment aims not only to correct crooked teeth, but also to adjust the complete functioning of the mouth, facial muscles, bones and joints.
Anomalies in any of these areas can interfere with oral health, speech, swallowing, breathing and the aesthetics of the face. ImplArt Odontologia performs orthodontic treatments with the most modern types of fixed and mobile orthodontic appliances.
Self-ligating orthodontic braces align teeth faster and more comfortably
The main feature of this type of appliance is that it doesn’t need elastics to attach the archwire to the brackets. In self-ligating braces, the archwire passes through small channels in each bracket and is attached to the caps.
In conventional braces, there is friction between the elastics and the metal archwire, which creates resistance and makes movement slightly slower. The absence of elastics in self-ligating braces allows the archwire to run more smoothly inside the bracket channels, making tooth movement faster and more comfortable for the patient.

Self-ligating orthodontic appliances: metallic, aesthetic-metallic and aesthetic
It can be made up of all-metal, aesthetic-metal or all-aesthetic parts (aesthetic fixed braces with brackets made from sapphire, porcelain or transparent or tooth-coloured polycarbonate).
Indication: various problems that cause dental malocclusion, from the simplest to those that require major movement, the most common being diastemas, misalignment of teeth, crowding, overbite, open bite, crossbite, among others.
Conventional braces to correct teeth
Conventional orthodontic braces are made up of wires, brackets and elastics. They can be metal or aesthetic (polycarbonate, porcelain or sapphire), while the elastics can be colored or transparent. Fixed orthodontic braces work by first bonding the brackets to the teeth. Next, an archwire is placed on each bracket and secured by elastic bands.
During treatment, a certain amount of force is gradually applied to each tooth in order to align and position them properly. The patient needs to visit the clinic regularly (determined by the orthodontist) to make the force adjustments and eventually change the rubber bands that have lost their elastic capacity over time.
Discomfort and a feeling of tightness may be felt in the first few days after these activations, but this is considered normal.
Conventional and aesthetic braces
This model of braces requires the patient to take special care with oral hygiene to avoid food debris and plaque forming around the elastics and brackets.
Indication: various problems that cause dental malocclusion, from the simplest to those that require major movement. The most common problems are diastemas, misalignment of teeth, crowding, overbite, open bite, crossbite, among others.
Transparent aligner plate to correct teeth discreetly
Completely free of metal parts and made from a biocompatible thermoplastic composition, transparent aligner plates are considered the most aesthetic option among orthodontic appliances.
Because they are transparent and have the same shape as the teeth, the aligner plates are almost imperceptible. This modern technique consists of the sequential use of aligner plates with small adjustments to each one (called attachments).
The plates are manufactured according to a computerized plan based on a mold of the patient’s arches. Each movement is planned and the patient is given an estimate of the duration of their treatment and the expected results. The patient receives the set of plates to be changed every 15 days (or at the dentist’s discretion).
It is a type of mobile orthodontic appliance or removable orthodontic appliance, meaning that the patient can take it out to eat and clean their mouth. However, it is extremely important that the patient does not stop wearing them for the prescribed time.
Indication: This technique is especially suitable for simpler orthodontic corrections. It is an option for adult patients who need orthodontic treatment but do not want visual impairment.
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies greatly, as it depends on the complexity of each case, as well as the body’s biological response, the type of appliance used and the patient’s cooperation. It’s always worth remembering that orthodontic treatment should be carried out by a specialized professional and never bought online or from street vendors.
Price of orthodontic braces to correct teeth
Price of orthodontic bracesto correct teeth: the Federal Council of Dentistry states that treatment prices can only be provided after a face-to-face consultation in which each patient’s clinical particularities will be assessed.
If you need your teeth corrected and have any questions, please contact us.
A dental implant is a titanium or all-ceramicpin, in the case of Straumann‘s ceramic implant, which is surgically placed in the bone and has the function of replacing the root of a lost tooth. A fixed prosthesis is installed over the dental implant, which has the function and appearance of a tooth. It is a modern, simple treatment that aims to bring comfort to the patient.
The Implart Dental Clinic is a dental clinic specializing in dental implants, and therefore has the most modern options for those who need oral rehabilitation.
Quality of life and self-esteem back with dental implants
What is a dental implant?
Treatment with dental implants aims to restore masticatory function as well as the aesthetics of the smile, which certainly gives people backtheir quality of life and self-esteem. After the dental implant is placed, its surface interacts with the bone, a phenomenon called osseointegration.
In short, it is responsible for the stability of fixed dental prostheses, offering the wearer security and comfort when chewing, speaking and smiling. This experience is completely different from using a mobile prosthesis, the so-called dentures, which for example can cause discomfort, move around and even hurt.
Dental implants: who can have them?
In principle, dental implants are indicated for almost all people who suffer from the absence of one, some or all of the teeth in an arch. Each person is assessed individually to determine the most suitable treatment.
The good news is that the ImplArt Dental Clinic, as an implant clinic, has the expertise and knowledge of the most modern surgical techniques to deal with almost all situations of missing teeth, even in people who have little bone volume. For these cases, there are short implants from the Swiss brand Straumann.
The new Standard Plus Short (SPS) implants from Straumann Implantes are the shortest pins available on the market (they are only 4mm long) and are indicated for patients who, for whatever reason, find themselves with limited bone availability.
Single implant, partial implant or total implant
A single tooth implant is used to replace a tooth that has been lost, usually due to an accident, root fracture, unsuccessful root canal treatment or decay. This tooth can almost always be replaced quickly using the immediate loading technique.
It is recommended that this tooth replacement be done as soon as possible to prevent bone loss, as losing a tooth and not having a dental implant can lead to bone loss and the movement of neighboring teeth, which can be aggravated by the absence of a tooth .
Advantages of single tooth implants:
Neighboring teeth remain intact
The new crown is attached directly to the dental implant, which makes it possible to floss like a natural tooth
Excellent aesthetic and functional results
Ease of treatment, as the prosthetic components are prefabricated
Unaffected by caries and infiltration
It is possible to place a temporary crown immediately after implant placement (immediate loading)
The installation of the implant prevents or stops bone resorption.
Losing multiple teeth can affect your ability to chew, as well as the beauty of your smile. The best option for replacing several teeth is undoubtedly to have dental implants fitted and a dental prosthesis fixed.
Total implants are recommended for people who have lost all their teeth. The loss is usually due to periodontal disease and inadequate oral hygiene. The implants are strategically distributed throughout the dental arch – ImplArt carries out the computerized planning of the guided total implant surgery.
The total implant treatment is able to bring the patient the incredible sensation of chewing and speaking safely and comfortably, as a fixed prosthesis that doesn’t move or hurt. The prosthesis will typically have a layer of artificial gum, but there are cases where the prosthesis can be made without the gum.
Due to scientific advances, it is now possible, in selected cases, to enter the office without teeth and leave at the end of the day with all your teeth fixed on dental implants (temporary prosthesis).
This technology, known as immediate loading, provides patients with great satisfaction due to its rapid results. In principle, immediately loaded implants can be used in the following cases:
Or immediate loading for a single tooth (mainly in the anterior region)
The dental implant technique with immediate loading can be carried out when bone quantity and quality are normal and also when occlusal habits are favorable for the procedure to be carried out so as not to overload the site with chewing.
Therefore, the immediate loading technique depends on certain conditions of the patient’s dental arch and general oral health. These conditions are assessed individually during a consultation.
Fixed implant prosthesis – types of materials
Implant treatment is the main form of aesthetic and functional rehabilitation for patients who have lost their teeth. The absence of one or more teeth compromises chewing, speech and the aesthetics of the smile, so a fixed prosthesis on implants is capable of restoring security and self-esteem to the edentulous person.
Rehabilitation basically goes through 3 relevant phases: the placement of dental implants, the healing phase (in which the patient uses a temporary prosthesis) and the finalization with the fixing of a definitive prosthesis on implants. We have a variety of materials that can be used to make a dental prosthesis:
Specialist dental clinic - Dental implants
Pure porcelain dentures (metal free)
It is an opaque white ceramic structure called zirconia, covered with an aesthetic porcelain sculpted to the shape of the teeth. It is a new and technologically innovative material, as the prosthesis is completely designed on a computer and made with the help of electronic scanners and 3D printers.
It is the material that offers the best aesthetic results because it does not contain metals. Porcelain has very similar characteristics to natural teeth, including shade, translucency and strength.
Metal-ceramic dentures (porcelain + metal)
This is a prosthesis with an internal metal structure (titanium, Ni-Cr or Cr-Co) and an aesthetic porcelain finish that is hand-sculpted in the shape of the teeth. Its advantage is the resistance and aesthetics of the porcelain, which leaves the prosthesis with an aesthetic and beauty similar to natural teeth.
It has a small disadvantage compared to pure porcelain prostheses, which is the possibility of a grayish line appearing at the level of the gums, if the patient suffers some gum recession over time, which can lead to an aesthetic compromise in the smile.
However, it has advantages over resin prostheses, such as better durability and resistance to wear, as well as no color changes over time.
Acrylic Resin (resin + metal)
Also known as the Bränemark protocol prosthesis, this model has an internal metal structure and an aesthetic resin finish. The teeth are made of resin and you can choose the color, shape and size of the teeth.
This material has one disadvantage compared to the previous ones, which is the possibility of color change (yellowing) over time. The choice of prosthesis material should be made jointly by the dentist and patient. Watch the video on prosthetic materials for dental implants:
Do dental implants hurt?
The dental implant procedure is easier than you might think! Advances in techniques mean that dental implant surgery today is less invasive, avoiding excess tissue damage, pain and discomfort.
During the surgery, the patient feels no pain because it is performed under local anesthesia. In addition, ImplArt uses techniques that reduce discomfort during surgery and make the recovery period more peaceful.
ImplArt also uses Piezosurgery surgical ultrasound, which cuts through hard tissues such as bone and preserves soft tissues such as gums, nerves, membranes and blood vessels.
This system allows the surgeon greater surgical precision and better visibility during surgery.
Price and value of dental implant treatments and dental aesthetics │ Dental implant average price
We often receive calls, emails and messages from people asking about the price and value of dental implants and dental treatment . We always try to explain that these questions can only be answered through a dental consultation.
In short, there are three main reasons for this: the first is that the Code of Ethics of the Federal Council of Dentistry prohibits dentists from carrying out consultations in person. The second is that dental treatments can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient.
The good news is that for those who live far away, abroad or in other states, there is the option of a preliminary online consultation.
There are numerous factors that influence the planning of a treatment. There are also various options for materials and techniques that influence the composition of a budget. In addition, a treatment that may be suitable for one person may not be the most appropriate for another.
The third is the importance of being assessed by a professional dentist. Often patients 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 dentist is the professional qualified to look at oral health in general, as well as giving the necessary recommendations to keep teeth beautiful and healthy throughout life. The qualified implant dentist is also able to recognize, in most cases, the types of dental implants that exist by evaluating the panoramic radiograph.
We at ImplArt believe that dental treatment goes far beyond a simple monetary value.
There are important factors that influence a cost-benefit ratio, such as the health and well-being that healthy teeth provide, improved self-esteem, patient comfort during procedures, the relationship of trust between patient and dentist, and our empathy for the patient, who often brings with them anxieties, expectations, fears and even trauma from previous experiences. What do you think your smile is worth?
Is there a charge for the first consultation?
Yes, we charge for the first consultation. The patient will be assessed by the director of the dental clinic, Dr. Roberto Markarian, who has extensive experience in treatments for functional and aesthetic oral rehabilitation, with dental implants and dental prostheses.
If necessary, the patient may be asked to undergo some radiological examinations to help with diagnosis and treatment planning.
For your convenience, some of the main dental exams can be carried out in the clinic (at a separate cost). If you already have previous exams, please bring all recent ones (up to 1 year old) to your appointment, as they will be of great help.
My dentist doesn’t charge, why do you?
We follow the rules of the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, which specifies that dental services cannot be free, in the same way as medical consultations. The culture in dentistry is changing and the number of dentists who charge for consultations is growing.
The dentist who will be attending you has studied at university and takes frequent postgraduate courses, so their time is valuable, just as it is in other health professions.
Do you accept any dental plans?
At the moment we do not accept dental insurance or any type of plan. Most dental plans don’t offer cover for dental prosthesis, implants or aesthetic procedures, which are precisely the focus of our clinic.
We only accept plans for the reimbursement system orfree choice. There are companies that offer their employees this system, in which they will later receive the amounts paid. There is some bureaucracy involved, but we can help.

“I’ve been a patient of the ImplArt clinic for a few years, when I met Dr. Roberto Markarian. At the assessment appointment, he explained the treatment very clearly. I was someone who had a lot of trauma and fear of dentists, I couldn’t smile and I was very embarrassed.
I just have to say thank you for getting to know this clinic, which took very good care of me, excellent professionals, I was always attended to promptly throughout my treatment. Today I can smile. Congratulations to Clinica ImplArt and Dr. Roberto Markarian, and I can’t forget to mention Vivian, who has always been very attentive. How good it is to be able to count on professionals like you.”
Shirlei Gonçalves
“I am a patient of the ImplArt clinic, I had a total upper and partial lower implant treatment, assisted by Dr. Roberto, a highly competent professional, as well as his clinical staff! My treatment was carried out by Dr. Adriana, who is highly professional and attentive! I’m very happy with the result, it looks great and I get nothing but compliments.”
Solange Godoy
“I was very afraid of getting implants, but Dr. Roberto gave me so much reassurance that I had no doubts. I had the implants, I didn’t feel a thing and I didn’t have any problems. I was very pleased with the results, it even changed my self-esteem with the excellent work done. Dr. Brenda was an excellent professional, always attentive and explaining all the treatment procedures. A reliable team. The service was exceptional. I highly recommend it.”
Dulceni Paglione
“ImplArt has changed my life. It changed the way I smile and interact with people. I now have much more confidence in myself, my self-esteem has grown. I thank them for all their care and I say to anyone who is going to start treatment: you can trust them, because they are serious and their work is very good.”
Eliana Fagundes
“First world dental clinic, the tooth scanner only exists at Implart, I was impressed with the perfect result. Dr. Roberto is highly competent and gives us all the security we need when deciding to have an implant or more complicated surgery on our teeth. The team is top 10. I had my treatment with Dr. Roberto and his team and I highly recommend them.”
Valerie Hair
“I recently finished my treatment. I had Swiss implants and a porcelain prosthesis. I would like to praise the work of Dr. Roberto and all the qualified professionals in his team. These people work seriously and responsibly.”
Sebastião Melo
“Now that I’ve completed the full upper arch implant procedure I started about four months ago, I’m here to give my testimony to help anyone who needs treatment and has doubts about where to get it. I went through a real via crucis to get to Dr. Roberto’s clinic, because if you don’t have a referral, searching on the internet gives the impression that all dental surgeons are good, which is a total mistake.
Mentions like “graduated from such and such university” don’t mean much. Many don’t have the qualifications or equipment for more complex surgeries. Before arriving at Dr. Roberto’s clinic, I went to several that I thought were specialists, and I was frightened by the procedures suggested for my case. But as I’m very fearful, I didn’t agree to be treated at such clinics.
I continued researching and came across Dr. Roberto, who gave me a totally different solution from those who had gone before him, and so I began treatment. It was a blessing for me because I didn’t have to undergo surgery in a hospital under full anesthesia. It was easy, painless and I recovered quickly. “
Hideki Oshiro
“I found Implart through a Google search. I was looking for a clinic in São Paulo that would serve me with quality and speed, as I live in Miami. I wanted zirconia treatment, as is done here, and I found what I wanted at Implart. A committed team, a director with credibility and knowledge. I was very happy with my choice and came back very happy.”
Rafaela Nunes
“Having completed the first stage of my treatment, I’m taking the initiative to express my satisfaction with Implart. When I read the contract, I liked it. Objective, clear and transparent. Extremely professional. The clinic is well-kept, cozy, no-frills and very well equipped. I was able to see for myself that the materials used in my treatment were top quality. Very fine needles for anesthesia.This means that we feel almost nothing from the sting (of course, in this case, the professional’s hand is fundamental).
Anesthetics that left me wondering whether I was anesthetized or not, because the effect was so subtle. Powerful, though. Just as you hardly notice when the anesthetic wears off. There are no abrupt sensations. The restoration of a tooth that came in the way was carried out perfectly. The temporary prosthesis was very good. It fitted very well and the aesthetics were excellent. Very natural and very close to my original teeth.I love it!
Then the surgery! The next day it seemed like I hadn’t even undergone it, how comfortable I was. All of the above is very important, but for me the most important thing is Implart’s team of professionals. What really struck me was that everyone I spoke to was discreet, spontaneous, affectionate and welcoming. Dr. Roberto, congratulations on your clinic.And in my humble opinion I think it’s a model clinic.
If one day a dental student is able to do an internship at Implart, it would be a privilege. Believe me, everything I’m saying is the observation of a 60-year-old who has worked with a variety of professionals, from very good to very bad (all in private practice). I love being seen in a dental clinic. It’s more complete, modern and efficient.”
Setsuko Katayama, São Paulo-SP
“I thank and congratulate Dr. Roberto Markarian and his entire team for their competence, professionalism, ethics and respect. You have given me back the will to smile.”
Eva Bastos, São Paulo-SP
“The experience I’ve had with ImplArt dentistry couldn’t have been better. High professionalism, proper treatment and accurate information provided to patients are qualities that make ImplArt stand out in the dental field. Patients with limited time, as in my case, get a full guarantee of a service provided with precision.
The MSN patient support service provided by the administrative assistant makes Implart stand out and gives us the guarantee of an infrastructure prepared to meet all our needs with comfort and credibility. No matter the distance, time or need, IMPLART has shown that it makes a difference at national and international level. Thank you to everyone who makes ImplArt a differentiated and reliable service.”
Jomo Löw – Sacramento – California
“I’m very anxious about going to the dentist and I’ve always avoided it as much as possible. Now it’s been five years without treating my teeth, so I ended up losing some dentures, had a lot of cavities and an episode of pain. Then I came across the IMPLART clinic and this sedation technique. It was very easy to have the treatment this way. The doctor who saw me was very attentive and looked after me until the end of the procedure. I also found that the dentist worked quickly and did some implants and treated the cavities while I was asleep. It was a bit magical but when I woke up everything was ready, I thought it was great.”
M.R.R., businesswoman, São Paulo-SP
“It’s very easy for me to write in the form of testimonials about the dental implants I had for two years with Dr. Roberto from the ImplArt Clinic, because what seemed impossible at first, through Dr. Roberto’s skillful hands, became concrete every day.When I arrived at the office for a consultation more than two years ago, I had periodontal disease that had already compromised most of my teeth, both upper and lower. After the consultation, Dr. Roberto informed me that it was a difficult case, but not impossible to treat, and his suggestion was to implant both upper and lower teeth.
In a very didactic way, he explained the treatment step by step, showing me that one of the main elements in the whole stage would be patience and that’s what I had during the long process of surgeries and tests, but my calm, patience was due a lot to the confidence that Dr. Roberto gave me, his security, his intelligence, his education and affection were essential for me to go through this trajectory very calmly and sure that I would ultimately achieve my KOLYNOS smile, which can be COLGATE, SMILE.”
Cida Santos, University Professor, São Paulo – SP
“I was recently in São Paulo because I travel frequently for work. Due to the sudden need for emergency treatment, I came across the ImplArt Clinic, which promptly solved my problem. My time in the city, about a week, was enough for a definitive treatment to be completed. I was very pleased with the speed of treatment and the quality. I recommend it!”
Albert Cardoso, Fortaleza – CE
“As I have known Dr. Roberto for some time, I let him know in advance that I was coming to São Paulo, as I visit my family periodically. Dr. Roberto asked me to send him some tests in advance, which I promptly did by email. I was impressed by how useful technology can be even for dental treatment. I prefer the service in Brazil, as the dentists here are very cold and the prices are much higher.”
Regina Abreu, London – England
“I remember one Friday when I was performing at the Sala São Paulo, a jacket that was right in front of me broke. I called Dr. Markarian, made an appointment, he examined me and said that if I waited for surgery to finish, he would put an implant in. The result: I had the implant, left the office, came home, got ready and went to the repair, driving normally.
I arrived after midnight enraptured by the music and without remembering that I’d had an implant. I know a lot of people who have implants, get sick, have inflammation, get down, stop exercising. Thanks to the doctor’s safety, competence and in-depth knowledge, I never had any problems and everything went smoothly. That’s why I say that I was even sad, regretting the end of the treatment. A big hug to all of you and much success to the Clinic, especially to Dr. Roberto.”
Dr. Roberto Markarian is a reference in dental implants and computerized dental prostheses in Brazil. As well as having more than 10,000 implants installed, he is a researcher and produces knowledge that is published worldwide in renowned scientific journals in the field of dentistry. He is responsible for promoting knowledge and high technology applied in all the treatments offered by the ImplArt Clinic.
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.

Zirconia crowns are dental prostheses indicated for restoration and dental rehabilitation in people whohave had damage to one or more teeth. Rehabilitation with dental crowns aims to restore the aesthetics and functionality of the smile, improving not only chewing, the appearance of the teeth, but also self-esteem.

Zirconia crowns: excellence for aesthetic results
However, some materials used to make dental crowns are not strong enough to be used in patients suffering from bruxism. As is well known, bruxism is a disorder of oral function movements, characterized mainly by involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth.
Translucent pure zirconia crowns
Pure zirconia crowns. Translucent zirconia is 10 times stronger than ordinary porcelain.
It occurs mainly during sleep. This excessive load on the teeth and musculoskeletal structures of the face can cause problems with the teeth and correct occlusion in general.
Although the cause of bruxism is not very clear, it is certain that this condition most often affects people who suffer from emotional problems, such as stress, anxiety and excessive worry.
Just as the excessive force generated by bruxism can wear down teeth, it can also damage dentures made of certain materials.
In these cases, our team has the option of recommending porcelain crowns with a pure zirconia internal structure, which are proven to be more resistant and can withstand a greater load, even in patients with bruxism.
Zirconia acquires this strength because it goes through a controlled process called sintering, which is heating it at a high temperature in a special furnace. This process modifies its particles, creating a solid and very strong prosthetic piece. Other properties of crowns with a pure zirconia structure:
How do I know if I can have a crown with pure zirconia even if I have bruxism?
First of all, it’s important to assess the degree of oral impairment that bruxism has caused so far. If you have untreated bruxism for many years, there may be advanced wear of the dental crowns and/or root fractures.
Therefore, before receiving prosthetic crowns to rehabilitate and restore your smile, you will probably need to undergo treatment to correct these defects (e.g. root canal treatments, vertical dimension increase, clinical crown increase). Dr. Markarian, our general manager, saysthat controlling bruxism is essential to avoid future problems and porcelain crowns with a pure zirconia structure may be indicated.
ImplArt Odontologia has its own dental laboratory with the Cerec 3D, Cerec Primemill, Trios 3Shape and Ceramillsystems, which speed up the fabrication of crowns with pure zirconia and metal-free ceramics, in some cases even in just a few hours in an ImplArt Day Clinic or Dental Spa, where you can carry out the largest number of dental procedures in just one appointment or in just a few days. This way, patients can set aside a day in their schedule or a few days in a week to dedicate to dental treatment, without it taking months to complete.

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.

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.
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.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.
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.

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.

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.
