Dental Aesthetics in Tenerife
What is cosmetic dentistry and what can you expect from our cosmetic dentistry treatments in Tenerife?
Some of the most common cosmetic dental treatments include teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns, and filling gaps between teeth. Teeth whitening is used to remove stains and discoloration from the teeth, while dental veneers are thin layers placed over the surface of the teeth to enhance their appearance.
Dental crowns, on the other hand, are caps that cover the entire tooth and are used to restore the shape, size, and strength of damaged teeth. Finally, filling gaps between the teeth is used to correct the appearance of crooked or spaced teeth.
Cosmetic dentistry treatment is applied to improve the appearance of the smile and address various issues such as dental asymmetry, gaps between the front teeth, discoloration, cavities near the gum line, or dental fractures.
It is important to note that cosmetic dental treatments not only improve the appearance of the teeth but can also have functional benefits. For example, teeth whitening can improve oral health and prevent cavities, while dental veneers can protect teeth and prevent future damage.
It is essential to consult a qualified professional before undergoing any cosmetic dental treatment to ensure that the treatment is appropriate and safe for the patient.
For example, if the patient has active periodontal disease, untreated decay, fractured or injured teeth, and severe bite problems, these should be treated before considering any cosmetic dentistry treatment.
It is also important to consider any allergies or sensitivities to dental materials used in treatment.
In general, it is recommended that patients undergo a full oral health assessment before considering any cosmetic dentistry treatment.
Crowns can be made of different materials, such as porcelain, ceramic, metal or a combination of these.
The fitting of a dental crown usually requires several visits to the dentist.
During the first visit, the dentist will prepare the tooth for the crown, which involves grinding and shaping the tooth so that the crown can fit perfectly. An impression of the tooth will then be taken so that a customised crown can be created in the dental laboratory.
At the last visit, the dentist will permanently place the crown on the prepared tooth. Prior to placement, the crown will be checked for fit and aesthetics and, if necessary, adjustments will be made. Once properly fitted, it will be permanently bonded to the tooth with dental cement.
Dental crowns can be recommended for a variety of dental problems, such as deep cavities, fractures, discoloured or misshapen teeth, and to cover a dental implant. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene and have regular check-ups with your dentist to prolong the life of the crown and avoid additional dental problems.

¿Qué es la carilla dental y cómo puede mejorar la apariencia de mis dientes?
The placement of dental veneers is a minimally invasive process that can be performed in one or several procedures, depending on the complexity of the case. First, a thorough dental evaluation is performed to determine if the patient is a good candidate for dental veneers. Then, a dental mould is made to custom design the veneers.
At the time of placement, the dentist will clean and prepare the surface of the teeth so that the veneers will adhere properly. Next, a special adhesive will be applied to bond the veneers to the surface of the teeth, and a special light will be used to harden the adhesive. Finally, the veneers will be adjusted and polished to fit the teeth perfectly.
Dental veneers are an excellent option to improve dental aesthetics, but it is important to bear in mind that their duration will depend on the care given to them, as well as the patient's dental health. It is advisable to have regular check-ups with your dentist to ensure that dental veneers are properly maintained.
Is the teeth whitening process painful?
In very rare cases, some people may experience increased tooth sensitivity that may require discontinuation of treatment or the use of alternative techniques.
It is important to follow the instructions of the dentist or dental aesthetician to minimise any possible discomfort or pain.
How many types of teeth whitening are there?
There are different types of teeth whitening, among which are the following:
In-office teeth whitening: This type of whitening is performed in the dental clinic and is carried out using a special light and a hydrogen peroxide gel.
Teeth whitening with splints: This type of whitening is carried out at home, using splints that are placed on the teeth and contain a whitening gel. The treatment lasts several weeks and the splints must be worn for several hours a day.
Mixed teeth whitening: This type of whitening combines in-office teeth whitening with teeth whitening with splints. The treatment starts with a session in the dental clinic and then continues at home with the splints.
Each type of tooth whitening has its advantages and disadvantages, and the dentist will be best able to advise the patient on which is the most suitable in their particular case.
How can I keep my teeth white after teeth whitening treatment?
After undergoing a teeth whitening treatment, there are some tips you can follow to keep your teeth white for longer, such as:
Avoid foods and drinks that stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, chocolate, fizzy drinks and foods with artificial colours.
Brush teeth after every meal, and especially after consuming foods or drinks that stain teeth.
Use dental floss and mouthwash to remove food debris and plaque from hard-to-reach places.
Avoid tobacco and tobacco-containing products, which can stain teeth and reduce the effectiveness of tooth whitening treatment.
Visit your dentist regularly for dental cleanings and assessments of your overall dental health.
By following these tips, you can prolong the effects of teeth whitening and maintain a brighter, healthier smile.
¿Qué es la ortodoncia invisible y cómo funciona?
La ortodoncia invisible es un tratamiento de ortodoncia que utiliza alineadores transparentes y removibles para corregir la posición de los dientes. En lugar de los brackets y alambres tradicionales, la ortodoncia invisible utiliza una serie de alineadores personalizados hechos a medida para cada paciente.
Cada alineador se usa durante aproximadamente una semana y luego se cambia por el siguiente de la serie, lo que permite que los dientes se muevan gradualmente hacia la posición deseada. Los alineadores son prácticamente invisibles y pueden ser removidos para comer y cepillarse los dientes, lo que los hace más cómodos y convenientes que los brackets y alambres.
El tratamiento de ortodoncia invisible comienza con una evaluación y planificación cuidadosa por parte de un ortodoncista capacitado. El ortodoncista utilizará imágenes y modelos de los dientes del paciente para crear un plan de tratamiento personalizado y determinar la cantidad de alineadores necesarios.
A medida que el paciente avanza en el tratamiento, el ortodoncista realizará controles regulares para asegurarse de que los dientes se estén moviendo correctamente y hacer ajustes según sea necesario. El tratamiento de ortodoncia invisible puede durar desde unos pocos meses hasta varios años, dependiendo de la complejidad del caso y la duración del tratamiento recomendado por el ortodoncista.
¿Qué diferencia hay entre la ortodoncia tradicional y la ortodoncia invisible?
La principal diferencia entre la ortodoncia tradicional y la ortodoncia invisible es la forma en que los dientes son movidos hacia su posición correcta.
La ortodoncia tradicional utiliza brackets y alambres para aplicar fuerza directa a los dientes y moverlos gradualmente a su posición deseada.
Por otro lado, la ortodoncia invisible utiliza férulas transparentes personalizadas (como Invisalign) que aplican fuerza gradual a los dientes para moverlos a su posición deseada.
Además, la ortodoncia invisible es menos visible y permite una mejor higiene bucal ya que las férulas se pueden quitar para cepillarse y usar hilo dental.
¿Cuánto tiempo dura el tratamiento de ortodoncia?
El tiempo que dura un tratamiento de ortodoncia puede variar dependiendo de la complejidad del caso y de los objetivos específicos de cada paciente.
En promedio, los tratamientos de ortodoncia pueden durar entre 12 y 24 meses, pero algunos casos pueden requerir un tiempo mayor.
Es importante seguir las recomendaciones del ortodoncista y asistir a las citas de seguimiento para asegurarse de que el tratamiento avance correctamente y en el tiempo estimado.
¿Es necesario utilizar retenedores después del tratamiento de ortodoncia?
Sí, después del tratamiento de ortodoncia es necesario utilizar retenedores para mantener los dientes en su nueva posición.
Los retenedores pueden ser fijos o removibles y se usan para evitar que los dientes vuelvan a desplazarse a su posición original.
Es importante seguir las recomendaciones del ortodoncista y utilizar los retenedores según lo indicado para mantener los resultados del tratamiento a largo plazo.
