dental & aesthetic TREATMENTS
Root Canal Treatment: Rescuing Infected Teeth
Root canal treatment becomes necessary when the pulp (soft tissue inside the tooth) becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or repeated dental procedures. The dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the root canals, and seals them to prevent further infection. After the treatment, a dental crown is often placed to restore the tooth's strength and protect it from future damage.
Dental Crowns: Strengthening and Restoring Teeth
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made covers that fit over damaged or weakened teeth. They are designed to restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used to protect a tooth after a root canal treatment, cover a dental implant, or strengthen a tooth with a large filling. The process involves the dentist preparing the tooth, taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown until the permanent one is ready. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both.
Dental Implants: Permanent Solutions for Missing Teeth
Dental implants provide a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. The procedure involves surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone, which serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implants integrate with the jawbone, abutments are attached, and custom-made dental crowns are placed on top. Dental implants offer stability, durability, and a natural appearance, promoting oral health by preventing bone loss in the jaw and maintaining the integrity of the surrounding teeth.
We use a very prestigious Spanish implant brand called GMI, we have been working with them for 15 years and they have proven to be the best and most reliable option in order to give our patients the great results they deserve.
Dental Bridges: Restoring Gaps for a Complete Smile
Dental bridges are a versatile solution for individuals with missing teeth. The procedure involves the creation of a bridge, comprising one or more artificial teeth, which is anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges serve both functional and aesthetic purposes by restoring the natural appearance of the smile and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting, which can occur when there are gaps. The process typically requires two dental appointments, during which the dentist prepares the adjacent teeth, takes impressions, and fits a temporary bridge before placing the permanent one.
Dental Fillings: Repairing Cavities and Minor Damage
Dental fillings are a routine treatment for repairing teeth with cavities, minor fractures, or damage caused by wear and tear. The dentist removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and fills the space with a restorative material. Dental fillings restore the tooth's structure, prevent further decay, and blend seamlessly with natural teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Wisdom Tooth Removal: Preventing Complications
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood and can lead to various issues such as impaction, misalignment, or overcrowding. Wisdom tooth removal is a common dental procedure to prevent complications like pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. The dentist evaluates the patient's oral health, takes X-rays, and recommends extraction if necessary.
Dental Veneers: Transforming Smiles with a Minimal Invasive Approach
Dental veneers are thin shells, typically made of porcelain or composite resin, that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution for addressing issues like discoloration, stains, chips, or minor misalignments. The dentist prepares the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel, takes impressions, and customizes the veneers to achieve the desired shape, size, and color. Veneers provide a natural-looking and durable improvement to the overall aesthetics of the smile with minimal impact on the tooth's structure.
We work with Lumineers veneers which are one of the most prestigious brands in order to give our patients the service and product quality they deserve!
Teeth Whitening: Brightening Smiles with Professional Care
Professional teeth whitening treatments are designed to lighten discolored or stained teeth, providing a brighter and more youthful appearance. In-office teeth whitening procedures typically use a high-concentration bleaching agent, activated by a special light, to achieve rapid and noticeable results. Take-home whitening kits allow individuals to whiten their teeth at their convenience.
In Clinica del Mar we offer both in-clinic whitening and home kits.
Orthodontics: Achieving a Straight and Healthy Smile
Orthodontic treatments are essential for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues, contributing to a healthier and more attractive smile. Braces and clear aligners are the primary tools used in orthodontics. Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are removable, transparent trays that gradually move the teeth into alignment. Orthodontic treatment not only enhances the appearance of the smile but also improves oral health by addressing issues like crowded or crooked teeth, reducing the risk of gum disease, and preventing abnormal wear on teeth.
In Clinica del Mar we work with GENIOVA clear aligners - this treatment requires the patient to come into the clinic to take a scan of their mouth, once the scan is complete a study can be done into what would be the best way to slowly change the position of your teeth in order to give you the smile you've always wanted!
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ) Treatments: Relieving Jaw Pain and Discomfort
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ) refers to pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement. TMJ treatments aim to alleviate symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty in chewing.
Lip Fillers: Enhancing and Defining the Lips
Lip fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment designed to enhance and define the lips, providing volume and improving their shape. This non-surgical procedure uses dermal fillers, commonly composed of hyaluronic acid, to achieve natural and rejuvenating results.
Here at Clinica del Mar we are dedicated to using the best brand for our clients, hence why we use Restylane fillers, not only that but we are one of the few professionals in the south of Spain working with this prestigious brand!
