Today I would like to help you to think about the importance of a complete dental service. Often the information about the quality of services we rely on is poor and this causes us to lose huge amounts of time and mental energy. Our brain, in fact, cannot close that chapter but the "file" relating to the service we would like to obtain must remain open until perhaps, one day, we will come to terms with it. Today I'm on vacation because I decided with my wife to use the morning to buy a piece of furniture that she is asking me for a long time. -- Since I already know how it ends up in these cases I don't go directly to the store but, as a shrewd person, I call first to ask if they can provide me with that service. Answer (I swear I'm not kidding !!): "Look ... call our representative (???) so she will tell you what you want to know. I'll give you the number ... " The representative listened to my large explanation on the phone and, in an equ...

Did the dentist tell you that your implant is lost and should be removed? What are the causes of this failure? Let's find out together what is to remove a failed dental implant. In the last decade, implantology has reached very high levels in terms of guarantee, success, and safety. However, it can happen that that much-coveted facility that you have entered, at a certain distance of time, goes bankrupt. In such cases, the only possible treatment is the removal of the screw.

Are you a smoker and would you like to use dental implants?  Is smoking the only vice you have and would you rather not stop?  Let's see what the scientific literature says about the possible combination of smoke and implants. Smoking is associated with a wide range of health risks and is implicated in the manifestation of numerous diseases. At the level of the oral cavity it predisposes to caries, periodontitis, and neoplasias; but is it compatible with the systems? The implants are artificial roots that must be integrated with the bone that houses them. The osseointegration process requires that the bone heals around the implant itself, ensuring stability over time. It is precisely between bone and implant that smoking can exert its harmful potential. What does the scientific literature on smoking and plants say? In order to understand what the real correlations between smoke and implants are, we have analyzed the most up-to-date scientific publications on the s...

"Prosthetic teeth should not be cleaned because they cannot decay."   Is this information correct? What are the main precautions to be observed for cleaning the prosthesis on implants? Let's find out together. Crowns on implants: what are them? With dental implants, it is possible to replace single teeth or make bridges or larger structures that can replace all the elements of the entire dental arch with fixed devices (which the patient cannot remove) or mobile. Whether the tooth is replaced by just one or all, cleaning the prosthesis and, more generally, correct oral hygiene is one of the daily activities essential for safeguarding the health of a dental implant.

The reason must be found at the level of tissues that support the implants, namely bone and gingiva. These in fact, if they are not treated, can undergo...

Many patients ask us why the dentist charges the first visit, while in the so-called "dental centers" they do not pay for it and even some even do the X-ray for free. To be able to answer this question it is necessary to understand the different nature and purpose of dental centers and dentists. Dental office centers have the sole purpose of benefiting from the sale of dental services, while the dentist's doctor has as its purpose the protection of the health of the patient's mouth and the profit is only a natural consequence of the care he performs, like other doctors medical specialists. It follows that dental centers use this mechanism of the free visit, only to be able to sell a greater quantity of medical services in order to obtain the greatest possible profit. It is common for a patient who is first visiting one of these centers to always find therapies to do and obviously always those that have a higher cost because these centers need to cover adverti...
