Smile design

You’re probably wondering what we mean by “designing a smile”. At Oralitá we are experts in DSD: Digital Smile Design. We are lucky that today technology brings us great advances in the field of modern dentistry, and thanks to this we can offer you the chance to bring your smile to its very best. How do we do it? Through a set of procedures, we create overall harmony across your face and mouth (both teeth and gums). What’s more, from the very start you’ll be able to see the final result and decide whether that tailor-made plan is what you want. We assure you that the results are exact and meticulously precise, in both shape and colour.

This treatment is perfect for correcting all kinds of oral and dental problems, both those related to function and those related to dental aesthetics.

How does smile design work?

The DSD procedure follows these steps:

1. Aesthetic design: Thanks to advances in computer technology, Dr Matteo can recreate a perfect set of teeth adapted to your unique features. Using an intraoral scanner of the mouth, a 3D photographic video is generated on the computer, resulting in a mock-up of your smile.
2. Patient assessment: The second step is a joint assessment combining your opinion with the doctor’s, to decide whether the results are as expected.
3. Treatment proposal: The doctor will suggest the treatments best suited to your case to optimise your mouth, such as the colour, size or shape of your teeth. In line with those goals, the most useful procedures are dental veneers, dental implants, orthodontics and dental prostheses.

Veneers

Dental veneers are a perfect solution for patients whose teeth are stained, discoloured or slightly out of position. What’s more, they don’t just improve

Today, thanks to the advances we have in dentistry, we can enjoy perfect teeth thanks to dental veneers. They not only improve the appearance of your smile, but also add function to your mouth. It is a non-invasive technique that gives the patient their dream smile in just a few sessions.

With veneers, we can correct the shape, size, colour and position of the teeth, which brings an incredible improvement to facial structure and symmetry.

The cosmetic veneers or dental caps we offer at our dental clinic are made of porcelain (composite ones also exist, but we don’t consider them high quality, so we don’t use them). They are made of ceramic porcelain made from zirconium oxide, a material used in many other medical applications and known for its strength and durability. These veneers are designed and made to measure for each patient, based on many factors, such as the colour or size of the teeth.

Teeth whitening

At Oralitá we offer at-home teeth whitening with trays, which the patient carries out comfortably at home, always following the instructions of Dr Ricucci, our dentist. This type of treatment is very successful because it is quick, comfortable and painless, with guaranteed results. If you want your teeth to become a whiter shade, read on:

What does at-home teeth whitening involve?

1. Initial assessment: We carry out a detailed analysis of the patient’s oral health to determine whether the stains on their teeth are cosmetic or the result of a condition that needs treating first.
2. Making the trays: If the patient is in the right condition for at-home teeth whitening, impressions or moulds are taken of their mouth and custom-made trays are produced. These trays have small spaces where a small amount of whitening product is placed.
3. Starting treatment: The patient carries out the treatment at home, wearing the trays for at least 4 to 6 hours a day, and after two weeks comes back to the clinic to check the new shade of their teeth. Once the teeth whitening in Barcelona is finished, the trays can be kept in case the procedure needs to be repeated in the future.
4. Results: The results of teeth whitening can be seen with the naked eye, as the colour or shade of the enamel is lightened by several shades. While the treatment is being applied, the patient can notice whiter teeth and an instantly brighter smile. What’s more, this treatment is completely painless and the teeth remain 100% protected and strong.
