COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Includes all the treatments to improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth and gums as well as improving the bite.
From composite bonding to ceramic veneers both bonding a minimal layer of composite or ceramic in usually one or two clinical sessions with minimal dental preparation but with the latter having a longer lifespan.
GUM CONTOURING
From a ‘gummy smile’ correction (reducing the gum covering hidden teeth), to a 'gum augmentation’ (with tissue grafting microsurgery), restoring volume and gum levels caused by gum recessions.
A small incision is made in your palate to take a portion of your internal connective tissue which is then placed over the affected gum to restore it.
INVISALIGN
A system of custom-made removable clear aligners that enables Dr. Pintado to achieve the ultimate smile for his patients in an efficient, discreet and non-invasive way.
Underpinned by extensive scientific studies and practical research, Invisalign is a reliable and effective solution to achieve optimal results but only when prescribed correctly, monitored on an ongoing basis, and when the patient commits for long term success.
RESTORATIVE
Includes all procedures aimed at function restoration and dental aesthetics. Dr. Pintado approach
is preventative with more focus on trying to save a destroyed tooth using different techniques rather than undertaking an extraction.
Aesthetically his approach is ‘biomimetic’ emulating natural teeth
in shape, texture, translucency and strength using the best composites
on the market.
LASER
Dr. Pintado likes to use dental lasers to address a number of gum-related diseases, as well as perform gum contouring (crown lengthening), root canal disinfection, tooth desensitisation, peri-implantitis disinfection, lip repositioning, hyperpigmentation removal, frenectomies, and gum overgrowth removal among others.
ROOT CANAL
Helping the patient feeling comfortable and pain-free during the whole procedure his first concern. The second, to get the best possible quality result to save the tooth.
When the nerve is infected or dead a RCT must be done to save the tooth. Next generation bioceramic cements are used to get better long term results.
