The first visit always begins with taking a detailed medical and dental history. This is followed by a detailed examination of the oral cavity and taking a panoramic x-ray if deemed necessary. Finally, a discussion is held with the patient about his needs and desires in order to create the final treatment plan based on the clinical examination, the x-ray examination and individual needs.

It is necessary to brush our teeth twice a day, morning and evening. Specifically, at night we must be particularly meticulous in following the entire oral hygiene process that includes the use of dental floss, toothbrush and interdental brush.

A large percentage of people when they drink cold water, eat ice cream or consume acidic foods feel a momentary intense discomfort, a stabbing pain that stops after the stimulus has passed. This is due to the exposure of the inner layer of the teeth to the oral cavity due to abrasions at the neck of the tooth (at the point where the tooth meets the gum) as well as the exposure of the tooth root due to receding gums.

Teeth whitening is a completely safe procedure when performed under the supervision of our dentist using certified materials.

It is performed either at home with personalized night splints made by the dental technician after taking impressions from the dentist or in the office or a combination of both. With whitening, we obtain a brighter smile without pain and without altering the tooth enamel.

The answer to this very common question is individual for each patient and depends on the needs of their mouth. It will be given in collaboration with the oral surgeon after the clinical examination and radiographic imaging through cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The important thing is to understand that it is unique for each patient with their own good in mind.
