When it comes to health, maintaining good oral hygiene is fundamental. For this reason, we must take meticulous care of our teeth and make sure we don’t leave any residue on them, which is why dentists insist on brushing your teeth at least twice daily!
Having good dental health will prevent gum problems, help us prevent cavities, help reduce bad breath and without a doubt, our teeth will look better and we will have a smile that sparkles. It is important to mention that we should incorporate visits to our dentists on a regular basis as they are also a fundamental part of taking care of our mouth.
If you are a person who enjoys good health, a check-up and two visits in a year for a cleaning is recommended. If, on the other hand, you are a person who suffers from inflamed gums or requires treatment, it is likely that you will need more than two visits per year. This will depend on the problem you are exposed to and your dentist’s instructions.
Now, I’m sure you’re wondering why should I go to a dentist if I have good dental care? Or why should I go to a dentist if I follow all the instructions when it comes to cleaning my teeth?
While the cleaning you can perform on your teeth may be the most optimal, dental cleanings performed at dentists are much more thorough. When you go to a dentist for your routine cleanings, they are responsible for removing tartar that accumulates in the space between the teeth and stains that occur under our gums. Only cleanings performed by these professionals guarantee the elimination of these conditions. Especially when it comes to tartar, this is because ordinary brushing and mouth rinsing are not enough to remove it.
Annual checkups are important so that the professional in charge can rule out cavities, inflammation or any symptom that may cause a condition or in the case that you are already presenting symptoms, he/she can suggest possible solutions.
The generation of tartar and cavities in our teeth can become a significant problem. An advanced stage of these conditions can lead to weakness, bad breath or in the worst case, the loss of our teeth. That is why we place so much emphasis on regular checkups. Although problems such as tooth stains can be solved with teeth whitening.
If we are in dental control, you can surely notice improvements in the appearance of our teeth. We will avoid the spread of stains, since teeth could be damaged by the consumption of coffee, red wine or fizzy drinks. These will have a whiter color without the need to resort to artificial treatment. At the same time it will be healthier and we will have a perfect teeth smile.

For this, the health professional or dentist you go to, should explain the preparation process depending on the type of person you are and your habits. An example of this is that if you have an addiction to tobacco, you will probably have to stop smoking. This can lead to a dental infection or periodontal disease, and may even result in an even later recovery than expected.
In the most commonly seen cases, the operation is performed under local anesthesia. Although it is quite mild, it replaces your gums and keeps your nerves from acting up while the dentist is operating. You will probably be kept awake in the process, since as mentioned above, the anesthesia is not strong enough to put you to sleep. In case you go to a medical center and your wisdom teeth are recessed, partially emerged or too complicated to remove, either due to periodontal disease or alternate complications, they may use general anesthesia, which will put you to sleep during the entire operation clearly prior to your application, the dentist will let you know what type of anesthesia will be used on you.
In case you need general anesthesia to proceed with the operation, the dentist will ask you to attend the consultory while fasting. Eating any type of food before the operation is harmful to the patient. Usually the fasting period is about seven hours before proceeding with the surgery.
If you still have any doubts regarding the operation, the appointment before the intervention is your time to make sure of everything that it entails and ask for your oral surgery. At once you can ask about the recovery, what type of extraction you will have, the benefits, the possibilities, everything you should be sure of before. You must be sure and prepared for what is to come after is performed. You may even be asked to sign a consent form for the operation, for your medical history.
If what you want is to achieve your aesthetic results, the treatments mentioned here should be assigned according to the complications of each patient. They must be personalized treatments.
This allows us to guarantee that the solutions we are providing are the most accurate for each of our patients.
With this we want to expose that, in the hypothetical case in which our patient must be applied corrections to several of their teeth, the first step to accomplish is to perform a facial analysis in any of our facilities.
This allows us to study the patient’s measurements, proportions, and features. Once we have all this information, we proceed to the next step which focuses on designing the smile, to achieve this step, we take into account factors such as color, shape, size, and position of the teeth. Once all these characteristics have been analyzed, all the information gathered will allow us to have the necessary knowledge to be able to deduce which will be the most effective procedure to perform.
Once we have knowledge of all these points we will proceed to explain in detail which are the treatments that are carried out within the specialty of Cosmetic Dentistry:
Veneers are thin sheets of porcelain or composite. They are placed in the visible area of the tooth, which gives the tooth a better appearance, position, shape, size, and color. This is just to mention some of the benefits that can be achieved through this treatment because it is also an excellent option to treat separated, broken, crowded, very small or yellow teeth.
The process to perform the aesthetic veneers is very fast, which is its main advantage. Within 72 hours you can get your dental veneers. This is from the moment the patient decides to have the treatment, contacts the clinic and finally the treatment is performed.
Whitening allows to lighten the color of teeth that have lost their natural white, either by the logical passage of time, the consumption of snuff or the use of tetracyclines from your mother when you were developing in her body.
The color of the teeth is a very important factor if you dream of an ideal smile. Patients who are not satisfied with the color of their enamel can resort to a very simple and quick solution: laser teeth whitening in a dental clinic session or home whitening.
It consists of the application of a hydrogen peroxide-based gel on the surface of the teeth. This gel, once irradiated by the laser, acts on the dental enamel by releasing free radicals capable of penetrating deep into the tooth and reaching the pigmented molecules, which are the main cause of tooth stains and yellowing. The combination of gel and laser breaks the pigment molecules thanks to an oxidation-reduction reaction and immediately whitens the teeth, making them appear instantly shiny and white.
After the dentist takes the impressions of the tooths in the dental office, the laboratory produces a whitening custom tray, in which the whitening gel is inserted. The tray must be worn overnight or for a few hours a day. In 8-10 days you will have a Hollywood smile.
One of the most demanded treatments in aesthetics and dental health, this procedure is usually done by applying local anesthesia to the patient, depending on each case. For this, the specialist in command will reduce with the help of a scalpel a mass of gum tissue to give a more aesthetic view. It should be noted that this is a low-yield operation and therefore its recovery is slightly faster than other procedures.
When a patient decides to have a dental reconstruction, it may be due to different reasons, these linked to health or any dental problem that has been caused by poor care, such as cavities, a fracture in the teeth or to improve aesthetics.
When the reason is an esthetic improvement, this is usually applied when the patient’s teeth are separated, when they are raised or, as in some cases, some modifications must be made to the to the tooth. Depending on the method to be used to solve the problem that the patient is presenting, the composite is applied. This composite is of very high quality and at the same time, it is very esthetic. There are different types of this material, but in our clinic, we focus on using the most effective and the one that best cares for the aesthetics of our patients.
We emphasize this point because not all composites provide the same result and when it comes to reconstructions, especially if we talk about the anterior area of the mouth, it is strictly necessary to offer a wide range of shades. This is so that when the material is applied, it can look natural together with the enamel of the teeth. By this we mean that the composite applied will not be distinguished from the natural enamel of the teeth. Thus providing a great esthetic improvement.
It is recommended to perform professional dental clinic at least two times in 12 months. This procedure is one of the simplest when it comes to dentistry, its purpose is to remove tartar and plaque that can accumulate on our teeth, in the gum line, or interdental spaces. In spite of being a simple procedure, it must comply with the established protocol in a meticulous way that is why we must explain to you what it consists of:
As a first step, we aim to perform an analysis. In this analysis we must rule out that there are no periodontal complications, or in some cases, that the tooth has some mobility, tartar or plaque. For this, a solution is applied that allows us to visualize the bacterial plaque, as well as the tartar. This is achieved thanks to the fact that the solution stains the affected areas, then a magnifying glass and a scaler are used to perform the cleaning.
It should be noted that this type of processes should be applied about three times a year to ensure the prevention of external periodontal diseases and the clarity of the dental enamel.
If we start to consider the duration of the surgery, we have to take into account multiple external factors. By this we refer to the different presentations in which the tooth can come.
