IMPLANTOLOGY
Implants are titanium pieces totally biocompatible with the human body that we place in the bone and that imitate the roots of your teeth. Once the implant is placed, we will wait a period of 2-6 months until the implant has been integrated into the bone to rehabilitate the crown. This time will depend on the quality and density of the patient’s bone. It will also influence the rehabilitated dental piece, the state prior to implant placement and possible necessary bone regeneration techniques. In certain cases, both implants and provisional crowns (immediate loading) can be placed on the same day as tooth extraction. A study and evaluation by the doctor will always be necessary to plan the necessary treatment and the indicated times.
ORTHODONTICS
Thanks to orthodontics and the different systems, both aesthetic aligners INIVISALIGN and the classic braces, at the Caballero de Rodas Dental Clinic we can help you to align and position your teeth correctly in a simple way, and help to complement, in many cases, the subsequent restorative phase to achieve the desired smile and a healthy mouth.
Dental aesthetics
The Digital Smile Design is a tool that allows the dentist to digitally plan the ideal treatment to achieve maximum aesthetics and functionality in our smile. Through a sequence of photographs, which the doctor takes and loads into the software, we plan a natural smile adapted to your personal features. This is what we would call the Aesthetic Study, where you can see how your smile would look like before starting the treatment.
GENERAL DENTISTRY
At Caballero de Rodas dental clinic we strive to inculcate in our patients the need for good dental hygiene, trying to fight from prevention the appearance of other more complicated pathologies to treat. A patient who has a healthy mouth and who attends his or her annual check-ups and maintains good hygiene will have a better chance of keeping his or her teeth in good condition for a longer period of time. General dentistry treatments include fillings, endodontics and root canals, restorations, etc.
TEETH WHITENING
In the search for the naturalness and beauty of your smile, we have the ZOOM teeth whitening system, which helps us to achieve the right shade for your ideal smile. We offer the possibility of performing whitening by combining a session in the clinic and a treatment with splints at home, always with the previous recommendation and evaluation of the team of doctors and with the appropriate follow-up to evaluate the results and possible sensitivities.
ORAL SURGERY
Surgery in dentistry is that which encompasses any surgical dental technique, including implants. At Caballero de Rodas dental clinic we are experts in this area because the doctor is in continuous training to bring to Las Palmas the most advanced techniques in this field. Among all the surgical treatments, we could highlight sinus lift surgery, necessary in some cases due to bone loss, prior to the placement of implants in the posterior sectors of the upper jaw. Periodontal or gingival microsurgery, as well as crown lengthening for esthetic reasons, are in great demand. They are often used in orthodontic treatments that have produced recessions in some of the teeth we have moved. Connective tissue grafts are often necessary to improve aesthetics due to lack of bone and soft tissue (gum) recession. The success of this type of surgery depends in part on hygiene and patient cooperation.
ENDODONTICS
At Caballero de Rodas dental clinic, we are committed to technology to perform treatments as accurately as possible. That is why we accompany a magnificent training of doctors with cutting-edge technology, such as the dental microscope, which allows us to achieve higher success rates in this type of treatment. Because we always try to do our best to keep a tooth in the mouth before proposing to perform the extraction.
PROSTHODONTICS
Often, although we value the natural tooth above anything else, we need to complement treatments with inlays, crowns and/or bridges. To deal with these cases, and thinking about both the precision of the treatments and the comfort of our patients, the Caballero de Rodas dental clinic has acquired the CEREC system (intraoral scanner and milling machine) giving us the possibility of offering you comprehensive treatments in a single visit.
PERIODONTICS
Periodontics deals with the study, prevention and treatment of the gums, that is, the tissues around the teeth. Normally, the accumulation of bacteria or tartar on our teeth causes bacterial plaque to grow and end up under the gums, making it impossible to remove with traditional brushing techniques. When the plaque advances, it produces an inflammation of the tissues and leads to a gradual loss of the bone support of the tooth, until we finally end up losing it. To avoid reaching these extremes, at the Caballero de Rodas dental clinic, we recommend a minimum annual cleaning and check-up, to assess the state of our gums and to be able to catch this disease in time if this is the case.
RADIOLOGY
In order to offer you accurate diagnoses, transparent budgets and well-performed treatments always from the first visit, in the dental clinic Caballero de Rodas we have the necessary equipment to perform all dental X-rays that are required. We have special equipment for CT scans that provide us with a three-dimensional view of the bone structure, always necessary for the placement of implants and diagnosis of pathologies, orthopanoramic, which provide us with an overview of the dental bone structure, and teleradiographies, necessary in Orthodontics to assess growth and intermaxillary relationship. All this without the need to refer to external radiological centers.
