Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium structures inserted into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots.
This procedure involves several stages:
1. Evaluation and Planning: Radiographic studies and CT scans assess bone quality and plan implant placement.
2. Implant Placement: Under local anesthesia, the implant is inserted into the bone.
3. Osseointegration Period: Over 3 to 6 months, the implant integrates with the bone.
4. Prosthesis Placement: Once integrated, a crown, bridge, or denture is placed on the implant.
This treatment offers a durable and aesthetic solution for tooth loss.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics corrects dental misalignments and bite issues, enhancing chewing function and aesthetics.
The process includes:
1. Initial Evaluation: Studies and models plan the treatment.
2. Appliance Placement: Options include metal brackets, ceramic brackets, or clear aligners.
3. Periodic Adjustments: Monthly appointments adjust appliances and monitor progress.
4. Retention Phase: Retainers maintain results after treatment.
Beyond aesthetics, orthodontics prevents issues like cavities and periodontal diseases.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain or resin shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to enhance appearance.
The procedure involves.:
1. Evaluation and Design: Smile analysis and veneer design planning.
2. Tooth Preparation: Minimal enamel removal to accommodate the veneer.
3. Impression Taking: Sent to the lab for veneer fabrication.
4. Placement: Veneers are bonded using special cement.
Ideal for correcting stained, worn, or misaligned teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening lightens tooth color, removing stains and discolorations.
Two main methods:
• In-Office: Application of whitening gel activated by LED or laser light, achieving results in one or two sessions.
• At-Home: Custom trays and gel provided for supervised home use.
A prior evaluation ensures treatment suitability.
Oral Rehabilitation
Oral rehabilitation restores oral function and aesthetics in patients with multiple dental issues.
Includes:
• Comprehensive Diagnosis: Assessment of teeth, gums, and joints.
• Treatment Planning: May involve prosthetics, implants, orthodontics, and other procedures.
• Execution: Necessary treatments are performed to restore oral health.
This multidisciplinary approach enhances patient quality of life.
Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)
Endodontics treats infections inside the tooth, preserving teeth that might otherwise require extraction.
The procedure includes:
1. Diagnosis and Anesthesia: Identifying the affected tooth and applying local anesthesia.
2. Access and Cleaning: Removing infected tissue from the root canal.
3. Filling: Sealing the canal with a filling material.
4. Restoration: Placing a crown or filling to protect the tooth.
Cosmetic Dentistry
This field enhances smile aesthetics through various procedures:
• Tooth Contouring: Reshaping teeth for a harmonious smile.
• Aesthetic Restorations: Using materials that mimic natural tooth color.
• Smile Design: Digital planning to achieve the ideal smile.
Oral Surgery
Surgical procedures addressing various oral conditions:
• Tooth Extractions: Removing damaged teeth or wisdom teeth.
• Periodontal Surgery: Treating advanced periodontal diseases.
• Implants and Bone Regeneration: Preparing bone for implant placement.
Conscious Sedation
A technique using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures while remaining conscious.
Particularly beneficial for:
• Patients with Dental Anxiety: Reduces stress and facilitates treatment.
• Lengthy or Complex Procedures: Enhances patient comfort.
• Children or Individuals with Special Needs: Improves cooperation during treatment.
Dental Implants
A Breakthrough in Oral Rehabilitation
Dental implants represent a significant advancement in modern dentistry, offering functional and aesthetic solutions for replacing lost teeth. In our clinic in Armenia, Quindío, we are backed by the best international implant brands, ensuring optimal results in every treatment.
All-on-4
Complete Oral Rehabilitation in One Day
The All-on-4 protocol is an innovative technique that allows for the placement of a fixed prosthesis over four dental implants, without the need for bone grafting. Thanks to 3D digital planning and precise implant placement, this procedure is completed in a single day, quickly restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile.
Oral Rehabilitation: Restoring Function and Aesthetics
In this specialty, we focus on reconstructing and repairing affected teeth, as well as placing new crowns, full dentures, partial dentures, or single units, to maintain the functions of the maxillomandibular system in terms of chewing, speech, and aesthetics.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their shape, size, and function. We use high-quality materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth, ensuring a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Full dentures
Full dentures are removable prostheses that replace all the teeth in an arch. They are ideal for patients who have lost all their teeth, providing functional and aesthetic restoration.
Removable Partial Dentures
Removable partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth in an arch, fitting around the remaining natural teeth. They offer support and stability, enhancing chewing function and dental aesthetics.
Fixed Prostheses on Implants
Fixed prostheses on implants are placed over dental implants previously inserted into the maxillary or mandibular bone. They offer greater stability and security as they are fixed to the implants, providing a permanent and aesthetic solution.
