AESTHETICS AND DENTAL PROSTHESES
WHAT ARE THEY?
Prosthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that reconstructs teeth.
Improves the function to be able to chew and also the aesthetics to improve the shape and color of your teeth. Different materials are used, mainly ceramics and also composites.
When the teeth are worn, with the prosthesis we can reconstruct your teeth to their original size. On the other hand, we can replace missing teeth with o fixed prostheses or removable prosthesis.
In many occasions this specialty interacts with other specialties, such as periodontics, endodontics and orthodontics.
AESTHETICS - TYPES OF TREATMENTS
- Veneers: they are ceramic custom made shells that are utilized to improve the shape and colour of teeth. The causes of an improper shape of the teeth can be due to a genetic inheritance issue but it can also be caused by habits that have caused wear. For example: bruxism, gastric reflux, consumption of beverages with gas, etc.
- Whitening: improving the color of the teeth using liquid products that help to clean the surface of the teeth. It is usually for home use and in most cases a successful result is achieved with an improvement in color and also the luminosity of the teeth.
- Prostheses and Covers: when we have broken teeth and therefore can not chew properly, we can make crowns. Crowns reconstruct the original shape of the teeth and also the ability to chew.

FAQ
IS THERE A METAL-FREE PROSTHESIS?
New technologies and materials have been developed in dentistry and are considerably advanced. They allows us to perform aesthetically and biologically compatible treatments without the need to use metal. We make all ceramic veneers and crowns that are integrated without causing allergies
THE CARE OF THE PROSTHESIS
By making personalized and individualized prostheses for each patient, they do not need more care than natural teeth. Brush three times a day for three minutes and floss once a day. We recommend two visits per year to the dentist.
WHITENING IS BAD FOR TEETH
In Blasi Clínica Dental we mainly use whitening at home in low concentration during a short period of time. We decide the concentration and time depending on the amount of staining that the patient presents. When done in this way, whitening is not harmful because it only cleans the tooth without causing any damage.
ARE CROWNS PAINFUL?
Crowns have the function of reconstruct teeth to their original size. They are made individually and personalized, therefore, they do not hurt or bother.
