ORAL REHABILITATION

But after all, what is the much talked about "ORAL REHABILITATION"? Oral rehabilitation is the complete treatment of oral health, involving the necessary therapies for each case. The patient may have various dental problems and require various types of treatment to achieve the desired health, functionality and aesthetics. This can range from teeth alignment to root canal treatments, gum treatment or even the need for one or more implants. Once the basic treatment has been completed, which, for biological reasons, takes longer, we can take care of the functional and aesthetic aspects. The great news is that, with the development of new digital CAD CAM technologies and 3D scanning, we can treat an entire mouth "from ear to ear" in just a few days! Yes! You didn't read it wrong! The completion of oral rehabilitation can be done with the famous "contact lenses", crowns or porcelain veneers in just a few visits to the dentist's office. Here at our clinic, EM Odontologia, we are able to deliver your beautiful new smile quickly, with precision and quality, as we are one of the few dental clinics in Brazil that has 100% digital flow.

MYTHS ABOUT ORAL REHABILITATION

Have you heard about oral rehabilitation with "contact lenses", do you want to beautify and rejuvenate your smile, leaving your teeth beautiful and clear, but are you afraid that this will harm their health and longevity? We are here to reassure you! With the development of new digital CAD CAM technologies and 3D scanning, we have dispelled several myths about oral rehabilitation that often discouraged people from seeking this form of treatment. Let's go to them:

Common Myths about Oral Rehabilitation Debunked

Oral rehabilitation is an area of ​​dentistry that aims to comprehensively restore the patient's oral health and aesthetics. However, as in many healthcare fields, there are some myths and misconceptions associated with this procedure. Let’s demystify some of the most common ones:

Myth 1: Oral Rehabilitation is Only for Older People
Demystification: Oral rehabilitation is suitable for people of all ages. It may be necessary in cases of trauma, excessive tooth wear, congenital problems, among others. It is not just limited to the elderly.

Myth 2: It is an Extremely Painful Procedure
Demystification: With advances in dental techniques and technology, oral rehabilitation can be performed with a minimum level of discomfort. Local anesthesia and sedation techniques may be used to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.

Myth 3: Oral Rehabilitation is Just Aesthetics
Demystification: Although aesthetics is an important component of oral rehabilitation, it goes far beyond that. Oral rehabilitation also focuses on restoring chewing function, correcting temporomandibular joint problems, and treating periodontal issues.

Myth 4: It Takes a Long Time to Complete Oral Rehabilitation
Demystification: The time required to complete an oral rehabilitation treatment varies from case to case. Some treatments can be completed in a few appointments, while more complex cases may require more detailed planning and, consequently, more time.

Myth 5: It’s Too Expensive and Unaffordable
Demystification: Although oral rehabilitation may involve financial investment, many clinics offer installment payment options and there are also dental insurance plans that can cover part of the treatment. Furthermore, considering the long-term benefits to oral health and quality of life, many patients consider the investment justifiable. It is important to remember that each case is unique, and the need for oral rehabilitation must be assessed by a qualified oral health professional.

WEAR ON TEETH

The wear required for a dental contact lens is minimal, as made with the precision of German milling machines, they are less than 1mm thick. In CADCAM crowns for posterior teeth (back) the required thickness is 2mm, nothing more than that! We only remove what is damaged from the teeth and the few millimeters necessary for the thickness of the porcelain veneer or crown, which is super reinforced and industrial. The finished pieces are firmly cemented to the tooth, lasting 10 years or more!

IS IT ARTIFICIAL?

The appearance of your contact lenses depends largely on the skill of the “artist” who makes the project, their “design” and their makeup. Here at EM Odontologia we have an extraordinary specialist, Dr. Júlio Serrasqueiro, who carries out and supervises all the work. Our focus is on the natural appearance of teeth, leaving them rejuvenated and beautiful, healthy and always respecting the wishes of our patients.
