Tooth loss affects the appearance, chewing ability, speech and even the emotional well-being of many patients.

Tooth sensitivity is one of the most common complaints in dental practices. This condition is very common and affects a large part of the population, so it is important to know its causes and how to prevent it. It manifests as a sharp, brief pain in one or more teeth when exposed to stimuli such as cold, heat, sweet or acidic foods, and even touch.

The bite splint, also commonly known as a night guard, is one of the most effective treatments for protecting teeth and alleviating the symptoms of bruxism. It is a customised device, made to measure by the dentist, which is mainly used at night to prevent tooth wear and reduce muscle overload. Bruxism and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems are conditions that require specialised treatment to improve the patient's quality of life. At Udemax Clinics, we prescribe bite splints after a comprehensive clinical assessment carried out by dental professionals, as not all patients require the same type of splint or the same design.

Dental rejuvenation is a dental approach that seeks to restore a more youthful, healthy and harmonious appearance to the smile by correcting the visible effects of ageing on teeth and gums. Various conditions can affect the health and appearance of the smile, so it is essential to make a correct diagnosis in order to apply the most appropriate treatment. Unlike other purely cosmetic treatments, dental rejuvenation is based on a comprehensive analysis of the smile, taking into account wear, colour, tooth position and gum condition. Advances in cosmetic dentistry have led to more effective, safer and longer-lasting results in dental rejuvenation

A mouthguard is a dental device designed to protect the teeth, gums and jaw from impact, pressure or wear and tear. Its use is especially important in contact sports and in certain conditions such as bruxism, as it helps to prevent dental injuries, fractures and damage to oral tissues, as well as damage to teeth and enamel caused by bruxism. In addition, mouth guards can relieve headaches associated with teeth grinding and are useful whenever contact sports are played or bruxism is experienced. Among the benefits of mouth guards are the prevention of dental complications and improved quality of life. At

Dental implants can last for many years, but only if they receive proper maintenance. The placement of dental implants is the first fundamental step for successful treatment, as the integration and stability of the implant depend on it. Just like natural teeth, bacterial plaque can also accumulate around an implant and cause inflammation, bone loss and, in advanced cases, peri-implantitis. Therefore, the importance of prevention and maintenance lies in ensuring the durability and health of dental implants, avoiding long-term complications. At Udemax Clinics, we perform thousands of implant treatments every year and we know that the key to maintaining them is
