Treatments for dental rejuvenation

Dental rejuvenation is the answer to the natural dental ageing process.

The dentition is no stranger to the ageing process. Just as with our eyesight, joints or skin, our teeth suffer from wear and tear due to daily use and the diseases that attack them throughout our lives.

Dental ageing

Chewing, exposure to external agents such as tobacco or coffee and incorrect brushing, together with diseases such as periodontitis and bruxism are the cause of the wear and tear or staining of our teeth.

This dental ageing affects

Enamel

• Weakening of the enamel due to acids and carbonated drinks.
• Appearance of stains on the surface of the teeth due to staining from coffee, tobacco or wine.
• Weakening of the enamel and thinning of the enamel causes the dentine to become visible, giving a yellowish tint to the dentition.

Teeth

• Loss of own teeth.
• Tooth movement due to missing teeth or trauma.
• Flattening of the edges due to daily use.
• Wear or breakage of teeth due to bruxism.

Gums

• Erosion of tooth necks due to incorrect brushing.
• Receding gums due to periodontal disease.

What is dental rejuvenation

Dental rejuvenation is a set of dental techniques that restore the patient’s original smile.

Dental rejuvenation brings together different dental specialities, such as periodontics, dental aesthetics and orthodontics, to restore dental harmony and rejuvenate the smile.

The correct diagnosis of the possible conditions that the client may suffer from is the beginning of a suitable solution. Finding the original source or sources of the problem and applying the treatments in the right order and in the right way is the guarantee to recover the smile.

Techniques used in dental rejuvenation

Dental veneers

Dental veneers are small shells that are bonded to the tooth in such a way that they not only improve the colour of the teeth while preserving a natural shade, but also correct small defects in shape and size without the need for orthodontics.

Tooth whitening

Today it is possible to restore a natural white to smiles that have darkened. Thanks to advances in dentistry and, more specifically, in the field of dental aesthetics, we can offer safe, effective and long-lasting tooth whitening even for those who have stains caused by tetracyclines.

Dental crowns

In the case of large damaged structures or significant tooth loss, it is possible to restore the aesthetics of the smile by placing dental caps or crowns.

Dental implants

The best option in the face of tooth loss is treatment with dental implants, the treatment with the greatest satisfaction due to its effectiveness, similarity to a real tooth, comfort and durability.

Regeneration of receding gums

Gum recession is the more or less pronounced exposure of part of the jawbone due to wear of the gingival contour covering the tooth. Its regeneration is possible by means of gum grafting, gum stretching or the application of PRP (platelet-rich plasma).

Orthodontics

In some cases, the dental rejuvenation procedure begins with the correction of an incorrect bite. In these cases, orthodontics is a procedure that must be performed prior to the application of other treatments such as whitening or dental veneers.

Discharge splints or Botox

Bruxism is the medical term that refers to the involuntary habit of clenching or grinding the teeth, mostly during sleep.

If this is the problem that causes dental breakage, damage to the enamel or gum recession, we must, as in the case of orthodontics, first apply a treatment with an unloading splint or Botox that corrects this habit and then move on to dental aesthetic treatments.

Dental contouring

Contouring removes small amounts of enamel from the teeth to, as the name suggests, change the shape, length or surface of the teeth. This simple technique allows us to eliminate imperfections to improve the aesthetics of the smile.

Treatments

If, despite all these preventive actions, we suffer from alveolitis, the dentist may ask us to carry out an X-ray to rule out other types of conditions and, if the diagnosis is confirmed, the administration of antibiotics over the area or, most frequently, the application of disinfectant material to allow tissue to form to protect the bone.

Other actions that may be part of the treatment include

• Rinsing with mouthwash, which will help to remove food debris that contributes to maintaining the infection.
• Application, in the alveolar cavity, of medication in the form of gel and paste to alleviate pain. Sometimes these will be used together with bandages. This will help to provide rapid relief.
• Administration of painkillers that the dentist will recommend or, if necessary, prescribe.
• Administration of anti-inflammatory medication.
• Administration of oral antibiotics.
• Oral hygiene. After the removal of the applied medication, rinsing will help to eliminate residues and promote healing. We may provide you with a syringe to spray salt water or mouthwash over the cavity until the condition disappears.
