our Treatments

Digital Dentistry

Design and fabrication of inlays, crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances using digital impressions (3D intraoral scanner) and CAD/CAM technology, such as Cerec, Invisalign, and Angel Aligner.

High-tech dentistry has revolutionized daily care within our clinic.

Thanks to advanced digital tools, we can offer more precise, comfortable, and effective treatments, improving both the patient experience and the quality of results.

Orthodontics for Children, Teenagers, and Adults

We collaborate with a specialized orthodontist to correct tooth alignment using removable and fixed appliances (traditional brackets, ceramic, lingual braces) and, since 2004, transparent aligners such as Invisalign and Angel Aligner.

Treatment consists of three main phases:

  1. Diagnosis and personalized treatment planning
  2. Active treatment with the selected appliance
  3. Retention phase, often long-term, to prevent relapse

Gnathology

We treat muscular and joint overload problems related to chewing, such as tension, pain, or bruxism.

In many cases, customized bite splints are used to rebalance chewing forces and protect teeth and joints.

Periodontology

Treatment of inflammation of the gums and jawbone, namely the periodontium, for example through pain-free deep scaling using the EMS Air Flow system.

Our specialists apply protocols established by SIDP, NVvP, and EAP (Italian, Dutch, and European periodontal associations). When necessary, targeted bacteriological analyses are included in the treatment.

Aesthetic Dentistry

We take care of smile aesthetics with the utmost attention, using state-of-the-art techniques to enhance the appearance of teeth and gums in a natural and harmonious way.

Endodontics

Root canal treatment using the most advanced materials and techniques available.

Implantology

We place titanium implants directly into the jawbone to replace single teeth, support fixed bridges, or stabilize removable dentures.

We use high-quality implants, primarily working with Straumann, a Swiss brand internationally recognized for its reliability and precision.

Pediatric Dentistry

We care for our young patients with a gentle and attentive approach, respecting their individual pace and sensitivity.

Special attention is given to child psychology to ensure a positive and stress-free experience.

We recommend starting dental check-ups from the age of two. To promote prevention, check-ups up to the age of six are provided free of charge.

Surgery

We perform procedures such as tooth extractions, wisdom tooth removal, and gum surgery using modern, minimally invasive techniques to ensure comfort and safety.

Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (Anti-Snoring Therapy)

We treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring, often using customized nighttime oral appliances that help keep the airways open during sleep.

Protected Amalgam Removal According to the Swedish Protocol

Dental amalgam, which contains mercury, was long used as a standard filling material. Today it has largely been replaced by aesthetic adhesive composite materials.

The removal of amalgam fillings is part of modern oral rehabilitation but involves significant exposure to mercury vapors.

For this reason, our practice follows a specific protocol for protected amalgam removal to minimize such exposure.

Diamond burs cut abrasively and generate high friction, leading to increased dispersion of mercury particles.

Therefore, we use long, thin tungsten carbide burs, which allow clean cutting at lower temperatures and thus reduce vapor emission.

Once the peripheral margin of the filling is cut, it can be gently removed using levers and excavators, minimizing mercury vapor release.

A rubber dam is a latex sheet that isolates the treatment area, exposing only the teeth being treated.

It helps contain particles produced during amalgam removal and allows proper tooth reconstruction with adhesive and aesthetic materials, which require a saliva-free environment.

A standard saliva ejector is insufficient to fully remove amalgam vapors during the procedure.

To protect both patient and practitioner, we use specialized aspiration systems such as the Clean-Up system.
