Periodontitis - The silent enemy of your mouth that often deceives even dentists.

Image
The first step in starting to solve a problem is to understand what caused it. I f you are going to read this article, it means that you have noticed one of the symptoms of pyorrhea and you want to know how you can do to solve the problem as quickly as possible. Something interesting that I noticed has been that the average patient when it comes into contact with us, HAS NO IDEA of what caused the loss of his teeth. I imagine that by now you must be asking yourself, "Is it important to know that?" Well it's very simple.  Bleeding gums, tartar on teeth, periodontal pockets, fissured tongue, gums that gradually retract; t hese are just some of the alarm bells that can indicate the development of one of the most devastating diseases of the mouth. If you have ever experienced even one of these symptoms, or if you suspect something, but you are not sure, then read on because I will explain below what are the devastating effects of pyorrhea (also called periodontit...

Intraoral Fingerprint Scanner: what is it and how does it work?

Image
Do you get the vomit reflex every time you get the impression? Can't stand that terrible taste of the impression material? Through this article, you will dive into the world of fingerprints, the new frontier of dentistry. The first question that arises is: "why to use something digital?"  The answer is the same one that you would give yourself asking yourself why to use a smartphone, a computer, digital photography, or GPS. All of us, whether we like it or not, we are catapulted into the digital age. Intraoral Fingerprint Scanner Digital technology has changed the dental profession so radically that in the not too distant future, the art of taking conventional impressions will no longer be so necessary. In fact, spoons for fingerprints and related materials are increasingly being replaced, especially in the most advanced dental practices, by the use of the scanner. Conventional Impressions vs. Intraoral Scanner Normally, when a traditional impression ...

Dental costs in United States are considerable?

Image
That is why today many patients turn to Costa Rica, where dental care is of excellent quality, very fast times, and significantly lower prices; and for those who rely on our organization, airport shuttle and hotel accommodation can be free.  We believe it is important to rely on a real organization like Freer Dental Implant Center , not hidden behind only mobile numbers, with offices and a solid structure made up of people with proven organizational experience. For patients who contact us or visit us at our San José offices, I usually explain in detail all the essential and organizational aspects of care at the  Freer Dental Implant Center. Dentists: their professionalism, the studies and qualifications they've received, their experience, and their specializations. All operate in compliance with the strict hygiene and safety standards imposed by strict country regulations. Cures and treatments: How much they cost? What they involve, how and when they are carried ou...

Total Edentulism

Image
Total edentulism, i.e. the lack of all the teeth in one or both arches represents for many an important aesthetic and psychological problem but, also and above all, at a functional level; just think of the difficulties in simple chewing.  It is no coincidence that those who suffer from it are often forced to a diet made almost exclusively of liquid / soft foods. Over the years, moreover, total edentulism causes reabsorption of the maxillary bone, which, by thinning, can cause, among other things, real modifications of the facial profile. Rehabilitation of oral functions must hence, mean for the patient: Satisfaction Ease of adaptation Chewing functionality Self-esteem Aesthetic improvement Better quality of life and social relationships And this the wearers of mobile prostheses, perpetually worried about its instability, know this well. The lack of several teeth can, therefore, be happily resolved by resorting to modern implantology: Overdenture, mobile ...

Integral Ceramics and Aesthetic Restoration: The Incredible Truth!

Image
Perhaps you have seen in the mouth of some of your relative's gray teeth that are anything but natural ... or maybe you see them in your mouth! Maybe the dentist cemented a ceramic crown there and after a while, the infamous dark border appeared! Well…. I'll tell you a simple truth: The most beautiful restoration is the one you can't see! In recent years there have been incredible revolutions in dentistry. Unthinkable technologies until a few years ago and simplifications that have improved the standard of care of every dentist! But what I prefer is perhaps also the least widespread: THE ABOLITION OF METAL (PFM)! Yes, if even because the gold restorations had probably unparalleled precision and the gray fillings could last even 30 or 40 years, the Metal does not belong to the human mouth.  If someone wants to convince you that in 2020 there is still a space for the metal in the crowns restoration of patients, run away from that clinic ... your health cou...

Costa Rica Allonfour Celebrates 8 years of activity

Image
Free Dental Implant Center, founded in January 2012 with the mission of offering dental care at the highest levels in Costa Rica (the so-called dental tourism) with significant savings that make care accessible to all, is pleased to celebrate 8 years of activity. How the idea was born. It all started 8 years ago when having spent for me and my family so much money for years on dental care to be redone, found ourselves again in need of resorting to important and expensive treatments. It is at that point that we thought of looking abroad, where we knew we could save money. We have therefore carried out researches of structures that gave serious guarantees and we turned to this team of doctors; given the success of the treatments and the personal satisfaction we said that we could have saved many other people too. This is how a new Dental Tourism Clinic was born and with an office in Guanacaste, the beach area of Costa Rica. What we do / how we work Our purpose was ... and...

The dangerous hidden secret that no dental clinic abroad confesses to you.

Image
Probably if you've opened this article it's because you're considering using dental tourism to treat your teeth and save on the cost of surgery.  Reading the title you may have thought: - "And what will this secret ever be that I have to watch out for? And what consequences should it have? " Read below and I'll explain exactly what I'm talking about. There are many variables to keep in mind before choosing whether to be treated abroad and at which clinic, however here I want to focus on one aspect in particular - a secret that no clinic abroad has ever revealed before so openly. It is essential that you know it if you want to avoid unpleasant surprises in the budget after deciding to leave to treat your teeth abroad. When making a quote request to any dental clinic abroad there are two main risks always present around the corner: The first risk is to receive a quote made with the stencil as if it were buying a pair of slippers that are the same f...
