Treatments Porto Dentist Portugal
Implantology Treatments
A natural tooth has two main components. The Crown and the root. The crown is the visible part of the tooth and the root is located below the gumline, in the bone of the jaw.
Implantology is the branch of dentistry dedicated to dental implants. The dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is inserted into the jawbone / either the maxilla or the mandible /. It often takes the form of a screw that is composed of titanium or titanium alloy.
Implants replace missing teeth.
Dental implants can be considered for patients who are missing one or more teeth.
A dental implant alone does not replace a natural tooth. An abutment must be mounted on the implant once the latter has been inserted into the jawbone.
Depending on the number of teeth to replace, an artificial crown, a full or partial denture or a bridge will be prepared and installed on the abutment(s). If the patient only has one missing tooth, a single crown will be sufficient. If several teeth need to be replaced, many options are available: using a single implant with multiple crowns joined by a bridge or a prosthesis, or using multiple implants with distinct crowns. This choice is up to the patient, according to the treatment plan recommended by the implantology specialist.

Orthodontics Treatments Porto
Orthodontia, also known as orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, is a specialty field of dentistry. An orthodontist is a specialist who has undergone special training in a dental school or college after they have graduated in dentistry. The specialty deals primarily with the diagnosis, prevention and correction of mal positioned teeth and the jaws.
How Does Orthodontic Treatment Work?
Many different types of appliances, both fixed and removable, are used to help move teeth, retrain muscles and affect the growth of the jaws. These appliances work by placing gentle pressure on the teeth and jaws. The severity of your problem will determine which orthodontic approach is likely to be the most effective.
Fixed appliances include:
Braces. The most common fixed appliances, braces consist of bands, wires and/or brackets. Dentist fix the bands around the teeth or tooth and use them as anchors for the appliance. While brackets are most often go to the front of the tooth. Arch wires are passed through the brackets and attached to the bands. Tightening the arch wire puts tension on the teeth, gradually moving them to their proper position. Braces are usually adjust monthly to bring about the best results, which may be within a few months to a few years. Today’s braces are smaller, lighter and show far less metal than in the past. They come in bright colors for kids as well as clear styles preferred by many adults.
Fixed Braces Orthodontist Porto
Special fixed appliances. They are great to control thumb sucking or tongue thrusting. Dentist attach these appliances to the teeth by bands. Because they are very uncomfortable during meals, patient should opt for them only as a last solution.
Fixed space maintainers. If a baby loose the tooth prematurely, we use a space maintainer to keep the space open until the permanent tooth erupts. Doctor attach a band to the tooth next to the empty space, and extend a wire to the tooth on the other side of the space.
Removable appliances include:
Aligners. An alternative to traditional braces for adults. Serial aligners are very popular by an increasing number of orthodontists to move teeth in the same way that fixed appliances work, only without metal wires and brackets. Aligners are virtually invisible and patient can remove them for eating, brushing and flossing.
Removable space maintainers. These devices serve the same function as fixed space maintainers. Acrylic base that fits over the jaw, and have plastic or wire branches between specific teeth to keep the space between them open.
Jaw repositioning appliances. Splints, devices are for the top or lower jaw, and help train the jaw to close in a more favorable position. Doctor can use them for temporomandibular joint disorders / TMJ /.
Endodontics Treatments Porto
Endodontic therapy or root canal therapy is a sequence of treatment for the infected pulp of a tooth which results in the elimination of infection and the protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion. Root canals, and the pulp, are the physical hollows within a tooth that are part of a nerve tissue, blood vessels and other cellular entities. Together, these items constitute the dental pulp. Endodontic therapy involves the removal of these structures, the subsequent shaping, cleaning, and decontamination of the hollows with small files and irrigating solutions, and the obturation / filling / of the decontaminated canals.
