Dental specialties and treatments

Dental implants

Implant treatment planning follows an oral examination and dental imaging. Cases include:

• Dental implant placement
• All-on-4 treatment
• Bone grafting and sinus lift surgery
• Same-day implant placement after extraction, with a temporary crown made from the extracted tooth

Oral and maxillofacial surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons perform procedures including bone grafting and sinus lift surgery. Piezoelectric surgery uses ultrasonic vibrations to cut bone. It works only on mineralized tissue and, according to the clinic, does not damage nearby soft tissues such as nerves and mucosa if contact occurs.

Restorative and cosmetic dentistry

• Porcelain and zirconia crowns
• Veneers and smile design
• Gum contouring procedures
• Onlays for teeth that need larger fillings

For onlays, the dentist takes a digital impression, then designs and makes the restoration using CAD/CAM technology.

Imaging and dental technology

• 3Shape intraoral scanner: Records teeth and bite as 3D images. The clinic uses it to reduce reactions such as gagging during impressions.
• Castellini 3D dental tomography and panoramic X-ray: Provides on-site imaging for implant planning and selected procedures, without requiring a visit to a separate imaging center.
• PRF device: Uses a small blood sample to produce a fibrin network, which the clinic uses with bone graft material or around implants.
• Piezoelectric surgical unit: Uses ultrasonic vibrations to cut bone.

The clinic uses PRF with the aim of supporting bone quality and implant integration with bone.

Planning for international patients

International patients can have an online meeting before traveling to discuss treatment duration and alternatives.

The final plan follows an in-person oral examination and dental imaging. Implant and bone graft procedures may require 3D tomography, which is available at the clinic.
