Dental Specialties and Methods

OralStudio covers several dental directions, from aesthetic improvements to full-arch restorations. Digital planning is used for most procedures to increase accuracy and patient comfort.

Dental Implants and Oral Rehabilitation

The clinic performs All-on-Four protocols for patients needing full-arch restoration. This method fixes a full prosthesis on four implants. Two are placed in the front, two are tilted in the back. This setup often allows immediate loading of a provisional prosthesis the same day. For precision, the clinic follows several steps:

• Digital planning using CBCT scans
• Intraoral scanning for precise modeling
• Fabrication of 3D surgical guides
• Prosthetically driven implant positioning

All-on-Four packages include tooth extractions, four implants, and a hybrid metal-acrylic prosthesis. Small bone regenerations and plasma rich in fibrin (PRF) are also included to support healing.

Smile Design and Aesthetic Dentistry

Smile design services use digital diagnostic analysis to match facial harmony. Patients can preview their results before treatment starts. The clinic offers multiple aesthetic options:

• Ceramic smile design
• Micro smile design
• Resin smile design
• LED-based tooth whitening

Whitening treatments include an initial cleaning and an at-home kit. The clinic notes that whitening does not change the color of existing crowns or veneers.

Orthodontics and Periodontics

Orthodontic care includes traditional, ceramic, and self-ligating braces. The clinic also provides Invisalign aligners for patients who prefer a removable option. Periodontal treatments address gum disease through scaling, root planing, and gingival microprocedures. These help stop gum bleeding and restore firm tissue within two weeks.

Advanced Medical Technologies

The clinic uses CAD/CAM technology to fabricate final prostheses with high accuracy. 3D planning software guides all implant surgeries to place biocompatible materials correctly. Diagnostic tools include CBCT imaging and Cerec Omnicam digital scanning. These replace traditional molds, so the experience is more comfortable for patients.

• Pre-travel treatment advice
