Dentistry is the area of dentistry dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental diseases, with a special focus on restoring dental structures affected by cavities, trauma or wear. The main aim is to restore function, aesthetics and oral health to the patient, ensuring a healthier and more harmonious smile.
Endodontics is the dental specialty responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases of the dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the root. The most common treatment in this area is root canalization or endodontic treatment. This procedure is essential for saving teeth that would otherwise have to be extracted, relieving pain and preserving chewing function. Thanks to new technologies such as rotary instrumentation and digital imaging, endodontic treatments have become faster, more precise and more comfortable for the patient.
Periodontology is the specialty of dentistry dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth. Periodontal treatment ranges from deep cleaning (scraping and root planing) to surgical procedures for bone and gum regeneration. Good oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist are essential to prevent these diseases and maintain oral health.
Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws. The aim of orthodontic treatment is to improve the aesthetics of the smile, chewing function and oral health, preventing problems such as tooth decay, gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Orthodontic braces can be fixed (such as conventional metal or ceramic braces) or removable (such as invisible aligners) and are adapted to each case to ensure a harmonious and healthy smile.
To meet the needs of each patient, we offer a variety of appliance options:
- Conventional fixed braces.
- Removable braces.
- Aesthetic fixed braces.
- Invisible aligners.
- Expansion braces.
- Self-ligating fixed braces.
Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics is the area of dentistry responsible for rehabilitating lost teeth, restoring aesthetics, chewing function and quality of life to the patient.
- Fixed prosthesis: Includes crowns, bridges and veneers cemented onto natural teeth or implants. These are long-lasting and aesthetic solutions, providing comfort and safety.
- Removable Dentures: These can be full (dentures) or partial, and are indicated for patients who have lost several teeth and need a more accessible and adaptable solution.
The choice between fixed or removable prostheses depends on the individual needs of each patient, always with the aim of restoring the smile and oral function.
Oral surgery is the specialty of dentistry that performs surgical interventions in the oral cavity to treat various conditions, such as extracting teeth (including wisdom teeth), removing cysts, treating infections and placing dental implants. This branch of dentistry also covers more complex procedures, such as pre-prosthetic surgeries and correcting bone alterations. Oral surgery is essential for maintaining oral health and preventing future complications, and is carried out using modern techniques that guarantee patient comfort and safety.
Implantology is the specialty of dentistry dedicated to the rehabilitation of lost teeth through the placement of dental implants. These implants are small titanium structures inserted into the jawbone or mandible, acting as an artificial root to support crowns, bridges or dentures. This treatment restores aesthetics, masticatory function and oral health, offering a fixed, long-lasting and comfortable solution. Thanks to technological advances, modern implantology provides safe and minimally invasive procedures, guaranteeing natural and effective results.
Pediatric dentistry is the specialty of dentistry dedicated to the oral health of babies, children and adolescents. Its aim is to prevent and treat dental problems from an early age, promoting the healthy development of teeth and gums. Treatments include the application of sealants, fluorides, treatment of cavities and guidance on good oral hygiene. Pediatric dentistry also helps to create healthy habits from an early age, ensuring a beautiful and functional smile throughout life. The first pediatric dental visit should take place around the first year of life, allowing for a preventive approach and ensuring that the child develops a healthy smile and is not afraid of the dentist.
Oral Rehabilitation is the area of dentistry that aims to restore masticatory function, aesthetics and oral health to patients with tooth loss, severe wear or changes in occlusion. This process can involve various specialties, such as prosthodontics, implantology, orthodontics and dental aesthetics, providing a harmonious and functional smile. Treatments are personalized and can include crowns, bridges, implants, removable or fixed prostheses and bite adjustments, ensuring patient comfort and quality of life.
Facial harmonization is a set of minimally invasive aesthetic procedures aimed at balancing facial features, improving symmetry and facial appearance in a natural way. Among the most common treatments are botulinum toxin (Botox), hyaluronic acid fillers, collagen biostimulators and jaw contouring. These procedures help to smooth out wrinkles, increase lip volume, improve facial definition and rejuvenate the skin. Facial harmonization is personalized for each patient, respecting individuality and promoting natural and balanced results.
Functional Jaw Orthopedics is a dental specialty that works on the growth and development of facial bones, correcting changes in jaw position and dental occlusion. It uses functional orthopaedic appliances that stimulate or redirect bone growth, and is mainly indicated in childhood and adolescence.
The oral bridles (lingual and labial) are small tissue structures that, when altered, can interfere with speech, swallowing and breastfeeding. Treatment can include myofunctional exercises or frenectomy, a minor surgery to correct limitations.
Breastfeeding Support is an area of health that helps mothers and babies to establish effective and comfortable breastfeeding. Specialized professionals, such as breastfeeding consultants and pediatric dentists, help to correct difficulties such as incorrect latch-on, pain when breastfeeding, low milk production and anatomical problems with the baby, such as a short tongue. Proper guidance can prevent complications, ensure optimal nutrition for the baby and strengthen the bond between mother and child.
