COSMETIC DENTISTRY AND ORTHODONTICS
You don't like your smile? Let me fix it for you.
MINI DENTAL IMPLANTS
The Mini dental implants are used in orthodontic treatments for anchorage, the latter term is very important in orthodontics, because as in most orthodontic treatments, we use the posterior teeth to use as an anchor and move back the previous pieces.
Mini dental implants have revolutionized orthodontic treatments, because with them we can anchor without moving the posterior teeth to pull the previous teeth.
They are also known as micro-screws or temporary anchoring mechanisms (TAD'S), which are removed once their function ends.
The micro implants are very easy to install, we use a very powerful anesthetic but short-lived, it is not necessary to make any incision or cut, they are screwed directly to the bone through the gum, the placement takes about 8-10 minutes.
To remove them, it's not complicated, we just put some numbing gel and a small screwdriver is used to remove them without pain or discomfort.
These mechanisms of temporary anchorage help, in some cases, to reduce the time of treatment, obtaining best results with its use, and sometimes, they even help us avoid combined orthodontic treatment and surgery, exclusively solving it with orthodontics.

TEETH WHITENING
74 PERCENT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT AN UGLY SMILE CAN JEOPARDIZE PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS, AS WELL AS YOUR SELF-ESTEEM AND SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE.
We use the most modern method for teeth whitening, cold light system, which does not cause pain.
It uses 35% hydrogen peroxide, which reduces the white in your teeth in about 2-3 shades.
The patient must be evaluated prior to whitening; due to the fact that fractures in the tooth, gum problems, and mismatched restorations, could make the treatment uncomfortable to the patient.
Teeth whitening is a conservative and safe treatment (no need to remove tooth structure) applied in the dental office by a professional, using materials capable of altering the shade of the tooth.
With some patients, a reinforcement from 2-4 weeks with special guards, shall be necessary. The guards should be used at home, depending on the patient's habits and the shade levels we achieved to reduce.
ZOOM WHITENING PROCEDURE
During a Zoom teeth whitening session, we place teeth whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide on each tooth. Cold ultra violet light is then applied to the teeth, which degrades hydrogen peroxide, allowing the release of oxygen that penetrates the teeth. The whitening result is as expected. It is possible that we indicate some gel application with a special palette at home to achieve a whiter tone.

2. Do not eat acidic fruits, or have dark or colored drinks.
3. Do not eat (for 48 hours after treatment):
- Coffee
- Tea
- Refreshments in general, especially gassed
- Chocolate
- Red Sauces
- Chimichurri
- Red Wine
- Beets
- Jamaica Water
4. Toothpaste can not be colored or contain bicarbonate.
Use a special toothpaste called BEXIDENT Sensitive Teeth.

METALLIC BRACKETS
The traditional orthodontics is done with metal brackets. Orthodontic treatment involves the placement of brackets on the outer surface of the permanent teeth and the length of treatment varies depending on the severity of the malocclusion, and the biological response of the patient.
The patient must attend a monthly check with the orthodontist to make adjustments such as: change of elastic (bands of brackets), wire, and other supplies used for treatment. This allows you to monitor and evaluate the progress of orthodontic treatment.

TRANSPARENT OR AESTHETIC BRACKETS
It would be ideal to correct our teeth early, but if it was not possible then, the best alternative for adults are clear brackets.
Such brackets are recommended for adult patients. Clear brackets can be made of porcelain or sapphire, the latter being more discreet. Transparent or invisible braces used in our office, are constructed of sapphire with biocompatible particles of zirconia. Brackets are the ones with the most aesthetic and biocompatibility in cosmetic dentistry.
They have great color stability and abrasion resistance (after 18 months of use). Excellent adhesion to the tooth, since the bracket base has a rough surface.
We use only clear brackets of various brands such as AMERICAN ORTHODONTICS, ORMCO And 3M Unitek. They are considered the best manufacturers in the world for aesthetic brackets. These brackets do not stain, but are a bit fragile, so you have to be extra careful with them, and follow good hygiene instructions to keep them clean and invisible. Treatment time may be lengthened, and the cost is a bit higher than metal brackets.

CHANGE OF AMALGAMS FOR RESINS
For a long time, the need to remove the silver and mercury amalgam was detected, for we discovered that they were toxic and that metal deformations occurred, favoring the formation of new cavities.
New resins materials like nano-hybrid composites, give us better function and aesthetic in restorations, and are safer for your health.

PORCELAIN OR ZIRCONIA CROWNS
The porcelain crown can be made when the piece is very destroyed, or crowns can be made to all parts of the mouth to restore your appearance, your integrity, your endurance, your bite (occlusion), or because they suffer severe wear and widespread throughout the mouth. In that case, the best options are the porcelain on metal.
Or you can make crowns, involving all those parts involved in improving the smile appearance on: color, smoothness, brightness, emboss, softness, height, width, body, alignment and contours. Rejuvenate teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance and give a smile to others that makes you feel safer, more attractive and happier. To do this, the best option is the porcelain crown on Zirconia.

PORCELAIN FIXED PROSTHESIS
It's like porcelain crowns, but their function is to cover the parts without teeth, leaning on the adjacent teeth. They can be made of metal covered with porcelain or zirconia without metal.
