What are the Prosthetic Abutments for dental implants?

15 March, 2022/in Sin categoría /by webmaster

Dental implants are usually the ideal option and one of the most used for people who need to replace a dental piece, or directly do not have one. A dental implant is an artificial root that fuses with the jaw bone to hold a prosthesis that will have the functionality of a natural tooth. Prosthetic accessories are those pieces that serve to join dental implants to their prostheses.

Prosthetic accessories. What types are there?

Let’s point out the types of accessories that we can find:

–Healing abutments: Helps the gum tissue around the implant to heal and are placed before the dental prosthesis is made.
–Final abutments: Once the gums have healed, the final abutments are placed to join the prosthesis with the implant.
–Temporary or provisional abutments: They are placed to cover the entrance of the screw.

The time it takes to heal is usually around 2 to 4 weeks. To ensure that the healing is correct and there is no problem, it will be necessary to follow the surgeon’s advice on the care that we will have to have, the foods that we can eat, and the correct cleaning around the pillars to prevent infections.

Among the most common prosthetic attachment materials are:

-Zirconium
-Titanium
-Molten gold
-Surgical grade stainless steel
-Polyether ether ketone

Among all of them, the element that offers the best combination of resistance and biocompatibility, in addition to being light in weight, is titanium.

ADVANTAGES AND CURIOSITIES ABOUT DENTAL VENEERS

29 April, 2021/in Sin categoría /by webmaster

At Asensio Advanced Odontology we want to resolve doubts that may arise in anyone who is going to undergo a treatment at our dental clinic in Valencia.

This time, our specialized professional team has been in charge of solving all the questions of our patients and people who are interested in the treatment of dental veneers. It is one of the most demanded dental aesthetics solutions today to correct fractured, stained, misaligned, worn, uneven or abnormally spaced teeth.

What are dental veneers?

This aesthetic treatment consists of the placement of ultra-thin ceramic sheets in the outermost part of the tooth, covering it completely to achieve the desired color and shape, providing a natural and attractive appearance, which have been previously studied with the patient. It is a totally painless treatment and in just one session you can achieve your smile 10, as described by Dr. Lucía Asensio, an expert in smile design at Asensio Advanced Dentistry.

What are the advantages?

It is a very simple teeth whitening that:

Corrects multiple defects in the teeth. The shape, size and alignment of teeth can be improved, color improved, diastemas closed, etc.
Elevate the aesthetics of your mouth. The color of the porcelain appears natural and brings luminosity to your mouth
Very conservative dental preparation. It is a minimally invasive technique and veneers are much less likely to affect the nerve within the tooth.
Strengthens teeth and restores functionality. They help strengthen fractured and sensitive teeth. Veneers can be used to restore worn dentin caused by bruxism as part of a complete oral rehabilitation.
Increased self-esteem.
They need little recovery time
Resistance to staining and staining. Porcelain is resistant to classic stains from coffee, tea, tobacco and non-alcoholic beverages
Local and general bi-compatibility. Ceramic, together with gold, are the materials that have the least biological reactions and bacterial plaque does not accumulate on their surface.
Resistant to chemical attack. Both drugs or antibiotics, such as acids (citrus or others), alcoholic beverages and cosmetics can alter tooth enamel. The advantage of dental veneers is that they remain unchanged in these situations

What does the procedure consist of?

Dental veneers are custom designed for each patient and are generally made of resin or porcelain. To begin this process, the first thing that is done is to remove a thin layer of enamel from each tooth, to later model the porcelain pieces and adhere them to the surface of your teeth.

Who can have this treatment?

Anyone can proceed to undergo a treatment with dental veneers, although we highlight the following profiles:

Discolored and / or worn teeth
Irregular and gapped teeth
Chipped teeth

Is the thickness of my teeth reduced a lot?

The changes that are made to the enamel of your teeth are minimal. Thanks to the technological advances that our dental clinic has, we will respect a large part of the surface of your tooth. It will also depend on several factors:

Tooth color
Position. Analyze if it is out of place
Anatomy Are they canines, premolars, incisors or molars, etc?
Old restorations

How long does the treatment last?

At Asensio Odontología Avanzada we are specialists in smile design. Dr. Lanuza and Dr. Lucia Asensio inform us that the treatment only lasts for approximately 4 appointments, which include:

Revision
Taking dental impressions
Preparation of teeth
Proof
Final placement of dental veneers

What are dental amalgams?

23 March, 2021/in Sin categoría /by webmaster

Amalgams are the material largely composed of mercury and an alloy of silver, tin, and copper, which is used to fill gaps where tooth decay occurs. It has been used for more than 150 years in hundreds of millions of patients around the world.

The main risk of this material is that it contains mercury and can be released in the form of a vapor, which can be inhaled and absorbed through the lungs in surgery with personnel not qualified for this type of action. The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) describes a product based on the protection of the patient and the dentist from the vapor and mercury particles released in the process. In its vapor form, inhaled mercury will pass into the blood system by up to 80%. At Asensio Odontología Avanzada, we use a unique protocol with highly qualified staff and all the innovation in equipment and technology necessary for these successful withdrawals.

Alternatives to dental amalgam

At Asensio Odontología Avanzada, we are committed to comprehensive and holistic dentistry abroad. One of our main objectives is to take care of the dental health of our patients, contributing and respecting the environment, with the use of top-quality biocompatible materials.

Amalgams contain mercury, a material highly toxic to health in general. Instead, the most common filling is with composite resins or composites or glass ionomer. It is a mixture of an organic or resin matrix and an inorganic one, which will form the filling that will give the tooth hardness and resistance.

The resin that is most used today is BIS-GMA or bisphenol-a and its derivatives. They have been shown to be endocrine transducers that affect our endocrine system.

Like all direct filling materials, they are all used to restore the surface of the tooth that has been damaged by decay.

WHAT IS TOOTH WHITENING?

4 March, 2021/in Sin categoría /by webmaster

In the aesthetics sector, teeth whitening is the treatment that is responsible for reducing the original color of the teeth by several tones, leaving the teeth whiter and brighter.

With teeth whitening, it is possible to eliminate the stains produced in the pieces due to substances such as tea, coffee, and other infusions, cigarettes, red wine and alcoholic beverages, and even sugary foods. It is true that not all stains can be eliminated or reduced through teeth whitening and may need other types of aesthetic treatments such as porcelain dental veneers.

In Asensio Odontología Avanzada, we offer you the tooth whitening technique with the most spectacular results on the market. It is a modern, fast, and effective procedure for whitening darkened and stained teeth.

The whitening process takes approximately one hour and the patient can see the results from the first session, thanks to our innovative appliances and advanced laser equipment such as Phillips Zoom. In addition, our team of specialized dentists gives special recommendations to allow you to keep perfect, white, and shiny dental hygiene from your home. The treatment can be repeated every six months or year, depending on the spots or pigmentation present.

It is important and necessary to have a professional dental cleaning with a laser before getting the Zoom whitening session at our dental clinic in valencia. We are one of the few clinics in Valencia that have the latest generation technology to apply it.

How is the whitening process with Phillips Zoom in dental clinic Asensio ?

It is an alternative whitening to laser, less intense than the usual ones, where lasers are not used to accelerate the whitening effect of a concentrated gel. It is a state-of-the-art whitening lamp that speeds up the process and is less aggressive than other techniques with which you will hardly experience any tooth sensitivity.

In this process, 35% hydrogen peroxide bleaching is activated. As hydrogen peroxide breaks down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to whiten stained substances, without changing the structure of the tooth.

The Phillips Zoom working method is practically identical to that of the laser technologies but with the additional use of LED lights to speed up the process.

The main advantage is that it is less intense, thereby not affecting your tooth sensitivity. Moreover, it will take several sessions to complete it, although you will see results from the first day of treatment.

It must be borne in mind that whitening has no effect on any type of restorations such as amalgams and restorations made with halogen light (resins or white fillings, inlays and crowns, or bridges).

Step by step with Phillips Zoom

The treatment lasts less than an hour and you will get results from the first session. The frequently used procedure in Asensio Advanced Dentistry is divided into the following steps:

The patient’s lips and gums are covered with a gingival protector or barrier to expose the teeth for subsequent work on.
The whitening specialist applies Zoom hydrogen peroxide whitening gel on the teeth and then with a personalized mouthpiece for each patient, we bring the lamp closer to their mouth, which together with the light from the Phillips Zoom lamp works to penetrate the tooth and disintegrate stains and discoloration.
The gel is allowed to act for 15 minutes together with the Phillips Zoom LED light.
During this time, the patient can enjoy a movie with our latest generation 3D glasses, in a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Four cycles of photoactivation are carried out in the clinic. The session is divided into four 15-minute sessions, where the same process is repeated four times with the zoom light activated to achieve an effective whitening effect.
Once the four sessions of 15 minutes each have finished, a gel-paste with fluoride is applied to the teeth to reduce tooth sensitivity.

Why teeth whitening in Asensio Advanced Dentistry?

90% of our patients recommend us for a pleasant experience in all kinds of aesthetic and dental health treatments. At Asensio dental clinic, we adapt to the needs of each of our patients to achieve their goals. After the first visit, we recommend the best way to improve the health and aesthetics of our patients.

DENTAL HYBRID PROSTHESIS

26 February, 2021/0 Comments/in Sin categoría /by webmaster

What is a dental prothesis?

A dental prosthesis is an artificial element that is used to restore the anatomy of one or more teeth due to trauma, dental disease, or even bone degeneration or atrophy, allowing the patient to regain the functionality and aesthetics of their mouth. Fixed prostheses are placed in the mouth with the help of dental implants.

They are made from either porcelain or acrylic and can replace a single dental piece (partial dentures) or the entire denture. They can be either fixed or removable.

Full dentures are recommended when a large number of teeth have been lost, thus helping you to regain your dental appearance, aesthetics, safety, and self-esteem.

Hybrid prostheses

It combines two types of prostheses. On the one hand, it is fixed, which means that the patient does not have to take it off and it is also made up of two or more types of materials.

How is a hybrid dental prosthesis made?

They are composed of a metal frame that manages to give them the appropriate shape that best suits the needs and mouth of each patient. With this structure, the artificial teeth made with resin and other acrylic materials are supported, thus achieving a greater similarity in color, shape, and appearance to natural teeth.

What is the price of a fixed denture?

Prices vary depending on each case and the needs of each patient. In general, the price of a denture on implants can range up to €4,500. Another type of fixation is a removable denture which can cost around €600 per arch.

Osseointegration: The Key to Successful Dental Implants

18 February, 2021/in Sin categoría /by webmaster

Understanding Osseointegration

Osseointegration refers to the crucial healing process after a dental implant is placed in a patient’s mouth. It’s the direct, structural, and functional bond formed between living bone and the implant’s surface when subjected to functional loading. For successful osseointegration to occur, several factors play pivotal roles:

Inflammation management post-operation
Specific implant design
The period the implant remains unloaded, typically around 6 months

Postoperative Care for Successful Osseointegration

Ensuring proper postoperative care is essential for achieving optimal osseointegration and preventing potential complications. While your specialist at Dental Asensio will provide tailored advice based on your unique case, there are some general guidelines you should adhere to:

Avoid rinsing for the first 24 hours post-surgery.
Apply ice packs to the treated area on the first day to minimize inflammation.
Maintain a soft diet in the initial days. It promotes osseointegration by relieving pressure on the implant. Preferably consume room temperature foods to prevent bleeding. Some recommended foods include:
- Gazpacho
- Yoghurt
- Eggs
- Soft or ground-fish (Ensure minimal chewing and tension on the treated area)
- Fruit juices and smoothies
Administer antibiotics and analgesics as prescribed.
Regularly visit Dental Asensio for check-ups post-treatment.
Refrain from strenuous activities or heavy lifting for the first week.
Avoid smoking, alcohol, and other similar substances.

Benefits of the All-on-4 Treatment Post-Osseointegration

Enhanced bone stability
Exceptional clinical outcomes
Precision planning with NobelGuide
Offer fixed prostheses with fewer implants on the same day
Instant implant restoration
Possible full arch rehabilitation
Increased efficiency in reduced time
Minimized treatment duration
Reduced bone degradation
Improved oral hygiene access
Boosted aesthetics and personal self-esteem
Minimal discomfort experienced by patients

In conclusion, at Dental Asensio, your health and safety, especially amidst the concerns of COVID-19, are paramount. Our team in Valencia stands ready to address any of your queries and ensure your journey towards achieving a confident smile through optimal osseointegration is seamless.

ALL ON 4, WHAT IS THE NEWEST TECHNIQUE OF DENTAL IMPLANTS?

16 February, 2021/in Sin categoría /by webmaster

All on 4 is one of the newest techniques in implantology that rehabilitates full arches in patients who have lost a large part of their teeth or who are willing to make a change in their entire mouth.

Many people come to our clinic to obtain information and a quotation that adapts to their needs with this treatment.

All on 4 techniques: What is it about?

It is a minimally invasive technique that is performed with state-of-the-art equipment and materials to solve the problem of the total absence of teeth.

This dental surgery is carried out in a single day and replaces all the teeth in the upper and lower arch with only 4 dental implants.

Did you know…

This treatment is called ”All on 4” because it uses only four implants for each jaw. Sometimes, depending on each patient, more implants are needed, such as up to 6. In this case, it would be called an “All on six” treatment.

It is clinically proven with 95% success and it is a safe and effective treatment for all people, including those lacking dental bone.

The implants used are made of titanium, which is a very resistant and biocompatible material that can be integrated into the bone with very positive results and there is practically no type of rejection or allergy. The difference in this treatment lies in the inclination of two of the four implants.

Surgical process “All on 4”

First, the dental team will apply anaesthesia with conscious sedation to the patient.

Later the dentist will extract the dental pieces (if there is any left) and will place the implants that will hold the prosthesis. Placing dental implants makes it possible to replace the natural root of the teeth. It is a painless process and is highly recommended by our patients. After the surgery, a provisional prosthesis will be fitted until the implants have successfully healed.

In this way, the person who undergoes the on-4 treatment returns home with a new smile in just 1 day. Later, when the implants are integrated into the bone (osseointegration), the provisional prosthesis will be replaced by the definitive one.

For implant planning, Dental Asensio uses the NobelGuide software, which is used to obtain a detailed diagnosis, to identify the available bone, for virtual placement, and prosthetic needs.

Finally, let us assure you that in our dental clinic in Spain, we follow all the prevention and safety measures against COVID-19. We will be happy to answer all your questions and help you as much as possible. You can count on your trusted dental clinic in Valencia to show off your best smile without any worry.

Cost of Fixed Dental Prosthesis

28 January, 2021/0 Comments/in Sin categoría /by webmaster

Understanding the Cost of Fixed Dental Prosthesis at Dental Asensio

How much does a fixed dental prosthesis cost? Fixed dental prostheses have become an increasingly popular dental solution, offering a permanent attachment in the patient’s mouth without the need for removal. Unlike traditional dentures, which might require an initial adjustment period and pose discomfort during the initial days, the fixed prosthesis provides an effortless speaking and eating experience without the concern of food debris accumulation.

Types of Fixed Dental Prostheses:

Fixed Prosthesis on Teeth: This prosthesis latches onto the patient’s existing healthy teeth, ensuring solid support. However, a noted drawback is the need to modify and polish the anchor teeth for the prosthesis to fit appropriately.
Fixed Prosthesis on Dental Implants: This prosthesis is anchored to titanium implants, effectively replacing the tooth’s root and ensuring the prosthetic tooth is securely attached.

Such fixed solutions not only address the aesthetic concerns of missing teeth but also enable patients to chew and speak without hindrance, mimicking the natural functionality of real teeth.

Procedure Details at Dental Asensio:

At Dental Asensio, our experts specialize in both dentistry and stomatology, ensuring a precise and customized prosthetic solution for every patient. The procedure typically involves:

For Fixed Prosthesis on Teeth: Teeth are shaped and adjusted, creating a “stump” to which the prosthesis will later be secured. Modifying the tooth structure is a necessary step in this procedure.
For Fixed Prosthesis on Dental Implants: The dental piece is anchored onto the titanium implant, serving as the tooth’s foundation. A crown or bridge is then placed atop the implant.

Diving into the Cost of Fixed Dental Prosthesis:

The investment in a dental prosthesis is essential when confronting tooth loss. Generally, the cost of a fixed prosthesis varies greatly based on individual needs and specific treatments. On average, a fixed prosthesis starts from €250, and comprehensive fixed dentures can begin at €4,500. It’s essential to note that these costs can fluctuate based on:

Chosen materials
Number of teeth requiring replacement
The technology and techniques utilized
The need for interim or provisional prostheses
