Tooth Restoration
CEREC
What is CEREC technology? It’s actually a ceramic restoration manufactured by a robotic device. What makes it special is that with this 3D technology, the restoration is made on-site on the same day as your appointment.
The restoration is made from 3D impressions of the tooth, sent by computer directly to the machining chamber, which then produces it before your eyes.
Advantages
- Made the same day
- Appearance of a natural tooth
- Durability
- Restores approximately 90% of the tooth’s initial strength
- Custom-made for a better fit and shape
Cavities and Snoring
SOLEA Laser
From dream to reality!
This technology allows certain treatments to be performed WITHOUT anesthesia. So, goodbye needles, prolonged numbness, discomfort, and stress. Plus, no more unpleasant vibrations or noises.
This highly precise laser can treat both hard tissues (teeth) and soft tissues (gums). Its precision allows it to preserve the surrounding healthy tissue. Surgical healing is significantly accelerated.
Patients suffering from snoring can also benefit from SOLEA Laser technology. The soft palate, largely responsible for snoring, can be stimulated with the laser. This helps to firm it, thus reducing its vibration during sleep. This treatment, however, is not permanent and will need to be repeated.
Pain-free cleaning
Air Flow Master
A cleaning like never before!
Using a gentle jet, polishing powder, and warm water, this effective professional cleaning is painless for 95% of patients.
This technique eliminates 100% of harmful biofilm (also known as dental plaque), even in hard-to-reach areas. If not regularly removed, biofilm is responsible for:
- Cavities
- Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums)
- Periodontitis (destruction of bone and gums)
- Peri-implant mucositis (inflammation of the gums around the implant)
- Peri-implantitis (destruction of bone around the implant)
- Halitosis (bad breath)
The benefits of GBT
- Pain-free for 95% of patients of all ages
- Reduced use of manual instruments
- More efficient patient care during orthodontic treatment
- Polishing powder is gentler than polishing pastes
- Helps in the treatment and prevention of gingivitis, periodontitis, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implantitis
- Gentle on roots, reducing the risk of sensitivity
8 Simple and Effective Steps
Thanks to innovative technology, AIR FLOW AND PIEZON PS PAIN-FREE, the GBT protocol gently removes all biofilm, stains and tartar. Here's how:
- Oral health assessment and diagnosis
- Biofilm detection using a stain
- Biofilm visualization and tailored advice
- Removal of biofilm, stains and recent tartar using AIRFLOW
- Removal of biofilm under the gumline
- Tartar removal using PIEZON PS
- Final verification and diagnosis
- Validate patient assessment and schedule next follow-up
Precision Imaging
Digital X-rays
Our clinic is equipped with digital radiology. This requires less radiation than traditional X-rays.
Advantages
- Speed
- Accuracy
- High resolution
- Safer
Did you know?
We are exposed to radiation every day (sun, cell phones, air travel, etc.). Dental X-rays often expose you to a lower dose of radiation than your daily exposure.
But why X-rays?
An X-ray examination is necessary to establish a complete diagnosis. They allow us to see the inside of your teeth and the surrounding bone structure. By identifying dental problems (cavities, abscesses, cysts, bone loss, etc.) more quickly, we can intervene with less invasive and expensive treatments.
Visual Diagnosis
Intraoral Camera
The intraoral camera allows us to take pictures of the inside of your mouth.
With this technology, the images are displayed on a screen and allow us to show you the diagnosed problems: cavities, cracks, defective fillings, and others. It will help you understand the need for the proposed treatments.
As the saying goes: A picture is worth a thousand words!
