The Therapies
Prosthetics
We are capable of designing solutions of any type, even very complex ones, always starting from the specific needs of each patient. We pursue perfection from both a functional and aesthetic perspective, two aspects to which we dedicate the same meticulous care. Our strength lies in cutting-edge internal expertise and continuous international collaboration, as well as a network of highly skilled partners.
Solutions on natural teeth
Our prosthetic solutions are designed to fully restore chewing functionality while achieving an impeccable aesthetic result, regardless of the type of prosthesis or the materials used.
To choose the type of prosthetic work to create, we start by evaluating the supporting tissues—bone, gums, and roots—which form the foundation of our work.
If the roots are suitable, we may consider a solution that uses the natural teeth as prosthetic pillars.
Properly prepared, the natural teeth will receive ceramic crowns with a metal core or full-ceramic crowns, covering them seamlessly and integrating perfectly into the patient’s mouth, as if they were natural and indistinguishable elements.
To simulate the final result and allow the patient to understand and share our plan, we can proceed in two ways: with a wax reconstruction of the smile or a digital preview created through the Digital Smile Design procedure. We choose the method best suited to show the patient the treatment goal and the functional and aesthetic changes their teeth will undergo. The prosthetic solution will then be custom-made and can involve a single tooth, multiple adjacent teeth (including bridges if needed), separate teeth, or even the complete dental arch.
To replace a single missing tooth, an alternative prosthetic solution is the adhesive bridge, commonly known as a Maryland bridge. It is attached to the adjacent teeth using special lateral adhesive wings, without damaging them and without the need for anchoring to the bone with an implant.
Implant-supported solutions
If, during the initial case assessment, we encounter inadequate supporting tissue (unstable or completely missing roots), we will need to opt for a prosthetic solution supported by titanium implants. The evaluation addresses the same considerations as a prosthesis on natural teeth, but in this case, the crowns are designed to be screwed or cemented onto implants integrated into the bone. The final aesthetic result will be impeccable and indistinguishable from a solution on natural teeth, and the creation of the supports will follow the standard steps described for implantology.
Ceramic veneers
Ceramic veneers can restore a smile’s natural harmony by eliminating imperfections. Essentially, they are thin laminates applied to the front surface of the teeth, perfectly matching the enamel color and integrating seamlessly with the dentition as if they were natural elements.
Veneers can cover chipped or broken teeth, as well as teeth that are irreversibly stained and resistant to whitening treatments, or teeth worn down due to nighttime grinding. Many defects, which can also affect chewing functionality, can be corrected through the application of adhesive veneers.
We dedicate meticulous care to this type of aesthetic rehabilitation, from the initial design to the selection of the color, and we use only the highest-quality materials to achieve a perfect and long-lasting result.
Adhesive ceramic Maryland bridges
In the unfortunate event of losing a highly visible tooth, such as an incisor, it is not always necessary to resort to a traditional bridge or an implant to solve the problem. The key requirement is having one or two adjacent healthy teeth, to which a new ceramic tooth can literally be bonded. This solution is called a Maryland bridge and is the least invasive option when it is necessary to replace a single missing tooth in the front part of the mouth. To secure the new element, made either of metal covered with ceramic or of full ceramic, one or two lateral wings are used, resting on the back of the adjacent teeth.
Unlike a traditional bridge, which requires the reduction of the two adjacent teeth to serve as supports for the prosthesis, the Maryland bridge is an adhesive solution that ensures a perfect aesthetic result with a highly conservative impact.
Removable Prosthetics
Contrary to common misconceptions, which portray them as “social” prostheses for those with limited financial means, removable prosthetics are complex and sophisticated devices capable of meeting the needs of patients who cannot undergo implant procedures.
Depending on the case, a full or partial prosthesis can be designed, anchored with clasps to the remaining posterior teeth or with precision attachments that integrate perfectly with fixed prostheses created for this purpose, always on the last remaining teeth.
Thanks to modern techniques, the stability of a full prosthesis on the gums can be enhanced by placing small implants in strategic points of the dental arch, which act as anchors. These strategies help overcome one of the most delicate aspects of full prosthetics, which must be carefully planned according to the shape of the oral mucosa. New materials developed through modern research also contribute to making removable prostheses more compatible, comfortable, and flexible.
Metal-free solutions
To meet a growing demand, we are developing and expanding the use of completely metal-free restorations, which can therefore avoid allergic reactions or risks of toxicity. Until recently, metal-free solutions were sometimes considered less reliable in terms of strength. Today, however, we have access to cutting-edge ceramic materials that provide durability and brilliance beyond expectations, with aesthetic results indistinguishable from natural teeth. In addition to fixed prosthetics, implant-supported prostheses can also be created with full-ceramic crowns, and the same option is available for adhesive bridges (the so-called Maryland bridge) and removable prostheses, which can be made without metal clasps. Biocompatibility and the absence of corrosion are the main advantages of metal-free restorations, designed to meet demands arising from both philosophical choices and increasingly widespread lifestyle preferences.
