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.

Laser teeth whitening – Day Clinic

Laser teeth whitening is a treatment often used in our Dayclinic cases because it greatly improves the appearance of the teeth and is quick to perform. Teeth whitening can be used in conjunction with other aesthetic treatments such as cosmetic dental lenses. It can also be used in rehabilitative treatments with dental crowns and even dental implants, where fixed dental prostheses will be required, and the tone of the smile can be modified as a whole at this point.

Laser teeth whitening is one of the aesthetic procedures that ImplArt Odontologia can perform in its Day Clinic

Over time, some of our habits can leave our teeth yellowed or stained. Ingesting highly pigmented foods or drinks, such as coffee, wine, beet, açaí, among others, can stain teeth.

Smoking is also one of the enemies of white teeth, as nicotine also stains teeth. In addition, poor brushing – which would be a better way of removing food pigments from the teeth – can also lead to the accumulation of plaque on the teeth, which makes them look yellow.

A beautiful, uniform smile makes up dental aesthetics, while yellowed and stained teeth can affect a person’s self-esteem.

A naturally whiter smile, like the ones seen on celebrities, is a common desire. The best part is that this dream is possible, thanks to the laser teeth whitening procedure, which is certainly a great ally for dental aesthetics.

Gum surgery: what is it for?

Gum plastic surgery is an option for people who are dissatisfied with their smile and also with the shape and size of their gums, mainly due to the lack of gums.

Gingival plastic surgery and tooth reshaping with composite resin

When they are very apparent, they influence the harmony of the smile and the self-esteem of some people. Gingivalaesthetics influences the smile through its relationship with the teeth, color and thickness of the gums. With this procedure it is possible to correct gum deformities by removing excesses and reconstructing areas that have little gum using gum grafts. The surgery is simple, performed under local anesthesia and carried out in the dentist’s office.

How is gum grafting done?

In general, gum tissue is taken from another part of the mouth, such as the roof of the mouth or behind the wisdom teeth. However, today it is also possible to use an artificial gum graft, obtained from pig tissue. After the procedure, the patient is instructed on how to perform oral hygiene for the first few days, as well as the medication they should take (usually antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and painkillers).

cirurgia gengival — Caso a estética da gengiva não esteja ideal há recursos que podem ajudar a aumentar ou diminuir seu volume.

They also receive recommendations on diet, especially to avoid eating foods with potential irritant reactions, such as acidic, very salty or spicy foods. The healing period depends on each case, but total internal gum rehabilitation takes place after six months. Many patients resort to this surgery due to gum disharmony, which can be related to excess or lack of gums.

Can the gums grow?

Growth can be caused by the use of medication such as antihypertensive drugs based on alodipine, anticonvulsants based on hydantoin, and fixed braces associated with poor brushing.

Gum recession or retraction is a change in the position of the gums as the root of the tooth becomes longer and more sensitive. This situation can occur due to strong traumatic brushing, malocclusion, when the bite is overloaded on the tooth with recession, bruxism and periodontal disease.

For this type of correction, gingival grafting may be indicated. The tissue used is taken from the mucosa of the roof of the mouth (palate). Surgery is contraindicated for patients with untreated cardiovascular problems, active periodontal disease, blood problems and mouth cancer.
