Computerized dental aesthetics – Digital Pre-treatment planning

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
  • Making metal-free zirconia abutments and prostheses

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;
  • 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 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.

Porcelain crown for implants – Day Clinic

What is a porcelain crown on a dental implant?

The placement of a porcelain implant crown is one of the procedures that ImplArt Odontologia can carry out with the convenience and agility of Day Clinic Dentistry in São Paulo.

A porcelain crown is a type of fixed prosthesis with a shape, color and functionality very close to that of a natural tooth, to be fitted over a dental implant. The dental implant is a titanium pin that replaces the root of a lost tooth and supports the prosthesis.

The porcelain crown on dental implant is certainly capable of restoring a beautiful smile and chewing safety for people who have lost one or more teeth, including the root, for some reason. Because it is made from state-of-the-art materials, the porcelain dental implant crown is highly aesthetic, resistant and durable.

ImplArt Odontologia uses the metal-free technique to make porcelain crowns. The advantage of this technique is that the internal structure of the crown is reinforced with zirconia. It is a white material, therefore free of metals and invisible inside the prosthesis, which gives the prosthesis a much more aesthetic result and no dark spots. These materials are also very resistant.

How is the porcelain implant crown made in the Day Clinic?

At ImplArt, the design of the porcelain implant crown is computerized and executed on 3D printers. The design of crowns is completely personalized for each person, quickly and conveniently. This is thanks to our complete structure, which includes a multi-specialized team and our own digital prosthetics laboratory equipped with computerized systems such as Cerec Sirona and 3Shape.

Some cases in which this treatment can be carried out in a Day Clinic

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.

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.

How does laser teeth whitening work?

ImplArt Odontologia uses the most modern laser whitening techniques safely and efficiently. The best whitening is done with the combination of hydrogen peroxide-based gel and the laser light that activates the gel.

The procedure safely and effectively removes pigments and stains from tooth enamel and dentin. Some people need more than one session and this will be determined after an assessment of each case.

Indications for whitening

Laser teeth whitening treatment is suitable for most people who are bothered by yellow or stained teeth.

There are even techniques for children over the age of 10. The indication is made after a thorough assessment of the general condition of the patient’s mouth (teeth, gums, tongue and mucous membranes) by the ImplArt professional.

Advantages of laser whitening?

  • Faster results than home whitening
  • Causes no or little tooth sensitivity

Day Clinic ImplArt

ImplArt Odontologia performs laser teeth whitening with the agility and convenience of a Day Clinic.

This type of service is ideal for people who want to have a more beautiful smile, whether for an upcoming event, such as a wedding, or even to give their look a boost, but who don’t have the time because of too many commitments in their daily lives, or for those who are in São Paulo for a short trip.

ImplArt’s high-tech structure and specialized team allow your treatment to be planned according to your needs and available time.

Whether this treatment can be carried out in a Day Clinic depends on an assessment of each case.
