Odontophobia is a term that defines a person who is afraid of the dentist, i.e. the patient may experience symptoms ranging from mild anxiety to panic, dizziness and fainting. Other patients experience nausea or motion sickness during dental treatment.
The dentist for phobics can help you take care of your oral health
This condition often leads to people neglecting their oral health and putting off important care at an early stage.
This leads to problems such as cavities, plaque buildup, gingivitis, periodontal disease, root canal problems, fractures, dental malocclusion, tooth mobility and dental aesthetics, among others. Many of these problems, if not treated in time, can lead to tooth loss.
We at ImplArt Odontologia understand that this is a serious issue. We know that many patients who seek dental care carry expectations and anxieties, and some even have bad previous experiences.
That’s why we strive to provide patients with a calm and transparent service, especially those with odontophobia.
Sedation is completely safe, as it is carried out by a specialist doctor who first interviews the patient and requests complementary tests (if appropriate), and monitors the patient’s functions whileall the dental procedures take place.
When all the procedures are finished, the doctor stops the sedation and the patient wakes up instantly without any difficulty. In extreme cases of odontophobia, dental procedures may be performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
ImplArt Odontologia was a pioneer in designing the Dental Day Clinic in Brazil. This is a model of care in which one or more dental procedures are carried out intensively, in the shortest possible time.
The Day Clinic is one of the ways to bring comfort and confidence to patients with odontophobia, because they spend less time in the office and don’t stop taking care of their oral health and smile. Find out more about the ImplArt Day Clinic.
If you have any further questions or would like to give your testimony, please contact us. ImplArt can help you whether you’re looking for a dentist for people with fear in sp or a dentist for people with phobia in sp.

Aesthetic oral rehabilitation is a treatment or set of dental procedures aimed at restoring the oral function and aesthetics of a person who is suffering from missing teeth and needs implants, or whose oral function is compromised by other dental problems that affect chewing, speech and the aesthetics of the smile.
Accordingly, depending on the case, single or partial dental implants can be carried out, or so-called total implants with a protocol prosthesis, which are implants for the entire arch. Porcelain crowns or zirconia crowns can be made, designed with modern computerized systems that allow patients to regain their confidence to smile, as well as their chewing function. It is important to note that dental implant surgery is simple, and allows for major transformations in the patient’s life.
Aesthetic oral rehabilitation: which procedures?
In addition, oral rehabilitation also aims to prevent other problems from arising in the future. A complete, better and well-articulated set of teeth will certainly prevent problems with the jaw, mandible and temporomandibular joints.
ImplArt specializes in prosthetics and restoring dental aesthetics
Periodontist – treatment of diseases affecting the teeth, roots, gums and supporting bones, such as cavities, gingivitis, plaque, periodontitis.
Restorative dentistry – aesthetic treatments such as whitening, application of dental contact lenses and aesthetic planning.
Oral and maxillofacial – specialist in the surgical correction of facial anomalies, such as asymmetries, TMJ dysfunctions and bone grafting.
Prosthodontist – Dental surgeon specialized in making aesthetic and conventional dental prostheses.
Prosthetist – laboratory technician specialized in making dental prostheses.
Radiologist – specializes in radiological examinations that help with diagnosis and treatment planning.
Treatment for aesthetic oral rehabilitation: 1 – Stained and scratched restorations, missing diastema teeth, short teeth, malocclusion. 2 – Aesthetic dental treatment for the installation of lenses and veneers, replacement of restorations, tooth whitening, implants and crowns
1 – Short teeth, 2 – Gingivetomy (gum lift) and tooth preparation, 3 – Temporary dental contact lenses (mockup), 4 – Permanent dental contact lenses – Whiter and longer teeth, more beautiful and harmonious smile.
All these areas can work in isolation or better together to achieve complete oral rehabilitation. ImplArt’s team of professionals is supported by a number of facilities and the best technologies, all at the same address:
They do everything from computerized three-dimensional design to milling teeth in ceramic material. Find out more by clicking here.
Digital radiology laboratory
With a digital panoramic X-ray machine and computerized tomography.
Computerized treatment and surgery planning
Exclusive software that plans and simulates various dental treatments. This way, patients know how their treatment will go before they even start it.
Day Clinic
The Day clinic is a type of service that carries out one or more dental treatments intensively. In this way, oral rehabilitation can be achieved in the shortest possible time (subject to assessment of the complexity of each case).
One of the main features of aesthetic oral rehabilitation is the porcelain dental crown
This is a dental reconstruction that aims to cover or encase a tooth that has had its structure compromised, or even after root canal treatment. Teeth with a root canal almost always need a reinforcing post to give the dental crown a better structure. The dental crown can be made from a number of porcelain options currently available.
In some cases, dental crowns can be better made in one day with the CEREC 3D dental prosthesis and crown in our clinic thanks to the technologies in our laboratories. Dental posts (cores) can be metal or aesthetic (zirconia or fiberglass).
Oral rehabilitation with ready-made porcelain lenses
Above all, the ImplArt dental clinic, coordinated by Dr. Markarian, seeks to conduct treatments with clarity, respect and seriousness, so that its patients feel confident, calm and satisfied. So don’t suffer from dental problems.
We understand your fears and expectations, which is why we invest in treatments that are less and less invasive and uncomfortable.
If you have any questions about aesthetic oral rehabilitation prices, values and techniques, then please contact our team via one of the channels below or come and visit us. We’ll be happy to help you!
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.

Complete professional team to carry out your oral rehabilitation in Day Clinic
Oral rehabilitation can involve several dental specialties working together in one day. Just to give an example: periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, implantology, prosthetics, dentistry and dental aesthetics. With it you can, for example:
Restoring partially compromised teeth with dental crowns
Correct bite problems, dental occlusion
Restoring masticatory function
Recovering or improving dental aesthetics in general
Oral rehabilitation is planned after a number of examinations have been carried out, such as a panoramic X-ray, so that all the patient’s needs can be known. From there, the multi-specialist team jointly decides on the procedures to be adopted for complete oral rehabilitation.
Oral rehabilitation can be carried out in a Day Clinic* at the ImplArt Dentistry Clinic. Day clinics are ideal for people who need intensive treatment in a shorter time than conventional treatment. In some cases it is even possible for the patient to start rehabilitation in the morning and be discharged on the same day.
The ImplArt Dental Clinic is fully capable of offering oral rehabilitation treatments in a Day Clinic*, because it has a multi-specialist dental team and a complete structure, with a prosthetic laboratory, digital panoramic X-ray examinations and computerized systems. This certainly guarantees agility and peace of mind so that the patient can achieve oral rehabilitation in one place.

*The possibility of performing oral rehabilitation in a Day Clinic must be analyzed by our team, after assessing the complexity of each case.
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.

Know more about the risks and dangers of dental implants
Crucial to the success of the procedure is the thorough planning of the implant surgery and the choice of specialist professionals who are qualified to carry out the dental implant surgery. This increases the chance of success of this important treatment, and therefore the chances of any complications are minimal.
So rest assured that you can enjoy all the benefits that this rehabilitative and safe treatment offers patients. The implant-supported prosthesis is made to resemble the person’s other natural teeth and also offer similar chewing strength.
Oral rehabilitation with dental implants is usually the best option for re-establishing the patient’s aesthetic and chewing functions, a treatment called total dental implantation.
Patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) can exert a lot of force on the implants, with an increased chance of breakage or fracture of the implants or the parts that make up the implant prostheses.
Patients who bruxism also increase the risk of loosening the screws that fix the implant crown. When this happens, the patient reports that the implant is “soft”. However, we mustn’t confuse the prosthesis becoming loose with the implant pin coming loose from the bone (which is much more serious).
Most commonly, when the problem is just the loose implant tooth, the patient feels no pain, while when the implant is lost there is always pain. If the implant fractures or comes loose from the bone, it must be replaced, starting the dental implant process all over again.
Check complete PODCAST about 5 biggest risks for dental implants:
Is it the dentist’s fault that my implant fractured?
There are several factors to consider, some of which would be the material of the prosthesis, the number and positioning of the implants, correct surgical technique, material of the dental implant, type of prosthetic components chosen, type of prosthetic connection chosen.
Assuming that the professionals are working to do their best, it’s rare that there will be any negligence in this regard. What really counts is the willingness of the patient and the professional to start again, perhaps trying to improve or perfect one of the strategies.

2 – Inflammation in implants and risks
Inflammation can occur in a dental implant, manifesting itself as pain, swelling, pain when chewing, bleeding, and even the formation of pus in the implant. Please note that in any area of medicine where an artificial part is used inside the human body, there can be an adverse reaction of rejection.
This rejection phenomenon can occur in relation to the dental implant or an associated material such as a bone graft or a protective membrane. Bacterial infection can also occur in the implants, which can even prevent bone integration.
The implant on the left in the image has inflammatory bone loss, while the implant on the right has a normal bone level
That’s why all treatments at ImplArt begin with a thorough oral cleaning, as well as the removal of any infectious diseases such as cavities and periodontal disease. The patient will only have implant surgery if their mouth is clean and their oral health is good.
This is possible even if the patient doesn’t have all their teeth yet. When the prostheses on implants are finished, we teach the patient how to properly clean the dental implant. This correct hygiene is very important and certainly contributes to the chances of success of the dental implant.
Inflammation in implants leads to aesthetic, gum and bone problems
3 – Risk of facial nerve damage
If the surgery is not well planned, with the use of CT scans and other imaging tests for mapping,damage to the jaw nerve can occur during dental implant surgery. In the area at the back of the mouth in the lower arch, there is a nerve that can be very superficial, especially if the patient has been without teeth for many years.
In patients with advanced periodontal disease, bone loss can also put the nerve at risk due to its proximity.To reduce the risk of nerve damage and paresthesia, the implant dentist will carry out imaging tests. The most commonly requested exam is a panoramic X-ray, but a cone beam CT scan helps to measure the bone and plan the implant.
Computer-guided surgery – reducing risks
To minimize the risks even further, we can perform computer-guided partial or total implant surgery, which offers little invasiveness and allows for perfect positioning of the dental implant, with no room for error.
Crooked or poorly positioned implants can have poor bone integration or even rejection. It is not in all cases that we are able to recover the patient from oral nerve damage or poorly placed implants.
Depending on the severity of the problem, an injury to the jaw nerve can lead to sequelae such as numbness in the jaw or loss of sensation in the tongue or to the sensation of tastes (gustation).
At the ImplArt dental clinic, 100% of cases are operated on with a CT scan, which can be done in our own radiology center.
Guided implant surgery reduces the risk of dental implant positioning errors
4 – Risks in the bone around the implants
Bone loss can occur in an implant that has suffered infection while healing in the bone. In addition, in cases where immediate loading is carried out, i.e. a temporary or permanent tooth is placed in position immediately after surgery, there is a greater risk of bone and implant loss.
This is because the newly placed dental implant does not yet have a mature attachment to the bone and needs to rely exclusively on its mechanical locking into the bone in order to fix itself. Most of the time, if the indication and technique are correct, immediate loading works well.
But in cases of immediate failure, the consequences can be serious, for example leading to major bone loss in the area. There are more advanced dental implant models that have improvements to the fit of the tooth and also in the chemistry of the surface so that healing in the bone occurs faster and more efficiently.
Implant shapes and models have to do with clinical indications
5 – Increase in risk factors – patient health and habits
There are risks to the success of implant treatment that don’t depend on the professional or the materials used, but on patient factors. Failure to clean the teeth,smoking and diabetes increase the chance of problems with the dental implant.
In this article, we only discuss the RISKS in dental implants, however the success rates of dental implants are very high, especially for current implant dentistry techniques performed by a dental implant specialist.
Dental implants are an excellent treatment if they are well indicated, planned and executed.
