SM DENTAL CLINIC

​

What are the treatments performed by general dentistry?

General dentistry includes the following treatments:

Endodontics: In cases of deep infections where a channel is created to the root of the tooth to disinfect and restore the tooth by eliminating the nerve.

Orthodontics: A treatment that is required to correct poor jaw posture or align the teeth with an appliance. It takes care of slowly moving the bones to place the teeth in a healthier and more aesthetic position.

Implantology: A surgical treatment directly related to the bony area of the teeth. It can be for one or several teeth an intervention to replace them with artificial teeth, placing fixed or removable implants.  

Periodontics: This treatment is directed more towards the tissues around the teeth, the gums and all the deeper pathologies that can affect the teeth from the root. The teeth may begin to fall out or in better cases they can be saved with periodontics, completing the parts to be removed with another material.

Dental aesthetics: It is important to keep healthy teeth and even better if the appearance is at the same level. The aesthetic dental treatment is directly related to what can be seen, veneers, crowns or even orthodontics can be placed for the expected result.  

Several actions are carried out on the dentition to improve it as much as possible, so there may be bruxism, extractions, teeth cleaning, whitening, veneer placement... These processes can give a complete treatment starting with the root and reaching to the tooth surface

What diseases does general dentistry treat?

In most cases, the dental pathologies that we are going to present to you cannot be anticipated at first glance. The alarming cases in dental health are hidden and can sometimes be seen only thanks to radiology. A dental diagnosis can be both preventive and direct treatment when it is time to act. 

​

A toothache, sensitivities; bleeding gums, appearance of cavities, loss of a bone... and other more complex that happen when the minimum pathologies are not treated. It is a very important reason why the SM Dental clinic proposes a first consultation to check the health of the teeth and intervene if necessary.

Take care of the health of your teeth 

​

Anticipating pathologies that may appear over time can avoid many treatment needs. For that, it is necessary to follow irreproachable oral hygiene, taking into account the advice of dentists. Brushing the teeth has to be included daily three times until all the corners between the teeth and the gums are 100% clean. 

​

For that, you also have to choose a toothbrush with fine tips and change it every two or three months so that the new ones continue to be effective.

​

When to consult?

​

In general, it is convenient to visit a dentist every 6 months, but it is not necessary to wait for a symptom to appear to consult, but to evaluate the health of your mouth and teeth
