Aesthetic Dentistry and Smile Design
The clinic uses Digital Smile Design (DSD) to plan aesthetic transformations. This process starts with facial analysis using clinical photographs and smile videos. An intraoral scan creates a digital model of the patient's teeth. Specialists then use software to design the final result.
Before any irreversible work begins, the clinic creates an aesthetic provisional mock-up. Patients test this in-mouth trial and approve it. This step ensures the final look meets expectations while preserving natural tooth structure. The clinic offers several aesthetic options:
- Ultra-thin feldspathic porcelain veneers
- Lithium disilicate restorations
- Minimally invasive veneers (minimal-prep or no-prep)
- Composite resin veneers
All veneers are placed using adhesive cementation under absolute isolation. This creates a strong bond and protects the teeth during the procedure.
Complex Oral Rehabilitation
For patients with significant tooth loss or severe wear, the clinic provides full oral rehabilitation. These treatments address bite collapse and restore the vertical dimension of the face. The focus is on balancing biological health with aesthetic results. Typical rehabilitation cases involve:
- Renewal of old fixed or removable prostheses
- Installation of dental bridges and crowns
- Implant-based restoration using recognized brand systems
- Management of severe bite complexity
Rehabilitation plans take between 3 and 12 months depending on complexity. If dental implants are necessary, patients allow an additional 3–6 months for bone healing.
Diagnostics and Digital Technology
The clinic uses a fully digital diagnostic suite. Cerec Omnicam scanning replaces traditional uncomfortable putty impressions. This technology produces accurate 3D digital models instantly. For surgical cases, the team uses 3D tomography to plan implant placement safely.
Surgical guides are produced when applicable to improve accuracy during implant procedures. These digital tools help the clinic maintain a minimally invasive approach throughout treatment.
