Things to be Considered at the Moment when the Dental Journey is Planned

Dental treatments are very expensive in some countries. For this reason, many people plan a dental trip to the countries that dentistry is less expensive. So what happens on a dental trip? Dental tourism helps people save on their dental treatments such as dental bridges, large dental implant treatments, mouth restorations, or periodontal diseases. One of these places that offer dental tourism is Costa Rica. When planning your Dental Tourism trip, money should not be the only important thing. It is essential to choose the best dental care as possible in Costa Rica for your dental problems. Don't forget to make sure and check the dentist's credentials before making an appointment. Even no matter where you live, in this digital age, you can get information on anything and any place with just a few clicks.  If you have a shortlist of dental clinics for treatment, then you must verify the credentials and accreditation before booking your appointment, for example, you can

Bruxism: When Tighten the Teeth, It's not Good!

Image
I'm sure you've already heard of bruxism. Indeed, more likely you know that there is a phenomenon where some people tend to grind their teeth at night. Let's get some clarity on the subject.  First of all, bruxism means the involuntary habit of clenching or grinding the teeth and can be day or night.  Well, it seems that if we add nocturnal bruxism, which affects 12% of the population in the US to the day, we arrive at an estimate that in the USA one person out of three suffers from a form of bruxism. If I have to tell you my impression as a clinician making 100-200 visits a month, you can do 50%. The causes of the phenomenon are not known. If once blamed on occlusion problems, recent evidence has exonerated this problem and brought up factors like - sleep disorders - alterations of the neurological system - taking medications or drugs - excessive intake of alcohol, coffee or cigarettes - anxiety, stress, depression and personality disor

All on 4 implant system: how to have everything back in just a few steps

Image
Have you lost all your teeth and are you looking on the internet for the best solution for your mouth?  Perhaps those who have remained "dance" in an obvious manner and with a sneeze you risk losing them? All-on-4 systems are now a certainty rather than a possibility. The all on four method, which literally means "everything on four", is a latest-generation implant technique that involves the rehabilitation of an edentulous mouth (without teeth) with only 4 implants and a fixed prosthesis. This clinical procedure is an excellent alternative to the common dentures and has the extraordinary merit of reconstructing even the most damaged or completely toothless dental arches. The all on four implant technique is highly recommended for patients with toothless arches. All-on-4 systems: what it consists of Normally, in traditional implantology methods, implants are inserted into the bone at a 90-degree angle to it. The all on four technique, on the other hand,

Functional Recovery After Dental Implant's Surgery

Image
Who knows why sometimes there is a strange habit of some patients of a clinic to tell:-  "Doctor, you should fix my teeth rapidly because - In a Month - my daughter gets married" "Excuse me, but even the best specialist cannot do miracles ... yet!" ... unfortunately, I cannot promise that and after all, I must try to find a solution. Given that, to this day the "rehabilitation" solution provides in most cases the use of osseointegrated implants it is important to understand what are the recovery times of the masticatory function after an operation.  So I think that those who have to undergo an implant surgery should be interested in knowing what the recovery time is after the surgery. The matter is not simple. Initially, the loading protocols of the implants (we are talking about the 70' and 80' of the last century) were 4 months for the lower arch and 6 months for the upper one. Biblical times for those who have to put up with remov

Who is the Good Patient!

The Decalogue of the Good Patient 1 - Once you have obtained numerous references, evaluate the professionals based on their curriculum vitae. 2 - Always be wary of big ads! 3 - Request a first visit: be prepared to pay the time that the dentist will dedicate to you, as well as every X-ray and computer scan, intraoral examinations, models, photographs and all other types of documentation 4 - Expose your expectations freely according to a wish list you prepared before your visit. Bring with you photos of yourself that portray you as you would like to go back to being (if you want to have your teeth rearranged as you once were) or images of others you would like to look like 5 - Ask to see photographs of other patients treated by the doctor in conditions similar to yours don't shop cheaply, vice versa look for a dentist who is willing to spend his time to reach what you really want, otherwise, you risk having to spend twice as much as expected to recover the work done

What is for us Excellence in Implantology?

Finding the right plumber, electrician or mechanic is serious because you know what it means to trust the wrong person. The problem becomes even more delicate if we talk about our health and we need an implantologist capable of giving us a bewitching smile. By discarding small dental surgeries facilities, which generally do not have the necessary skills and techniques to deal with complex implantology cases, you find yourself having to entrust yourself to centers you don't know, In 2017, more than 1.4 million Americans sought health care in a variety of countries around the world, the 80% of that patients travel outside homeland for Dentistry. This is why we specialized in our clinic on the All-on-4 Dental Implant System and opened our Cad/Cam in-house Dental LAB because high-end excellence in implantology applied to experience can attract patients from other regions and guarantee exceptional results at the right price. What does excellence in dental care mean? Choosin

- Have your gums withdrawn and would you like to return everything as before? - You have tooth sensitivity and your dentist told you it could be the recession's fault? Let's see what are the most suitable surgical methods to cover an exposed root. Pain in chewing or brushing, sometimes even just breathing in the air ... these are just some of the problems you can face with an exposed root. In all this the anti-aesthetic effect overlaps, which undoubtedly has its important value. In one of the old articles, we have already addressed the issue of a recession of the gums, describing causes and consequences. But what do you do when you want to cover it? A recession can lead to three problems: pain, sensitivity, and poor aesthetics. Orient yourself with the Miller Classification In this regard, in 1985 a clinician by the name of Miller made a very useful and effective classification to order the degrees of gum recession based on their severity: Class 1: superficial
