Predictable results with digital smile planning

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, fixed prostheses 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.

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 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.

Intraoral scanning

Some cases, for example, can be carried out with digital smile planning:

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
Tooth shade harmonization
Replacing unsightly restorations with porcelain restorations
Making metal-free zirconia abutments and prostheses

Computer-planned dental treatments also allow many procedures to be carried out in a Day Clinic (intensive care modality).

Digital dental implant planning

Digital planning of dentalimplants helps ensure that the treatment result is tailored to the patient’s needs. It also helps to ensure that the treatment is efficient, as minimally invasive as possible and to avoid surgical accidents (such as hitting sensitive structures). Planning begins with a computerized tomography scan.

The three-dimensional images from the tomography then allow the implant dentist to know details such as bone volume and dimensions, and thus determine the best implant positions, as well as choosing implants with dimensions suited to each patient’s needs. The dentist also has the option of ordering a surgical guide, made on the basis of the information from the CT scan.

The surgical guide acts as a template with the exact indications where the incisions should be made, in such a way as to avoid unnecessary cuts and perforations. As a result, treatment becomes less invasive and recovery faster.

Guided surgery makes it possible:

Prior surgical and prosthetic planning, resulting in a more precise procedure;
Safe flapless surgery and the possibility of immediate loading;
Respect for bone structures and the path of nerves and vessels;
A reduction in the indication for bone grafting surgeries, as this requires detailed planning of the case beforehand;
Planning aesthetic and functional procedures;
Better post-operative recovery;
Better communication between patient and dentist, contributing to greater trust during treatment.

Dental contact lenses – Day Clinic

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
Incredibly natural and harmonious result
Computerized planning allows for more precise, personalized and faster treatment.

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.
