• New digital technologies     
        

  • CAD-CAM: Com­put­er-aid­ed design and Com­put­er-aid­ed man­u­fac­tur­ing

    Com­put­er aid­ed design includes all soft­ware and mod­el­ling tech­niques for design and vir­tu­al test­ing with the help of a com­put­er and dig­i­tal sim­u­la­tion tech­niques to both design and man­u­fac­ture prod­ucts.

    Our clin­ic has a CEREC Omni­cam cam­era (Sirona) for intra­o­ral impres­sion cap­ture.

    Dig­i­tal impres­sions do not com­plete­ly replace con­ven­tion­al impres­sions at this time. This impres­sion method rep­re­sents sig­nif­i­cant com­fort for the patient, as it replaces the con­ven­tion­al method with imprint tray and impres­sion mate­ri­al.

    Dig­i­tal impres­sions car­ried out at the clin­ic are sent to our den­tal lab­o­ra­to­ry, where with the help of soft­ware, the restora­tion is vir­tu­al­ly cre­at­ed and trans­mit­ted to the pro­cess­ing unit, the CEREC MC XL, which cre­ates the pros­the­sis by milling.

    It should be not­ed that no lab­o­ra­to­ry machine can yet replace a technician’s know-how in the aes­thet­ic ren­der­ing of ceram­ics. This is why we only use it for the pos­te­ri­or pros­the­sis after cos­met­ic ren­der­ing by the tech­ni­cian and as a rigid base frame, on which the tech­ni­cian will mount their ceram­ic veneer.

    We are on the eve of a quite dif­fer­ent rev­o­lu­tion­ary dig­i­tal process that should arrive in our clin­ics in a cou­ple of years: the 3D print­er.

    

    Cone Beam – CBCT

    Since 2016 we are for­tu­nate to be equipped with a pow­er­ful tool for x-ray exam­i­na­tion of the max­il­la: the Kavo Pan Exam Plus 3D

    Mid­way between panoram­ic x-ray and scan­ner, the cone beam has cre­at­ed a mini rev­o­lu­tion in the field of med­ical imag­ing. This device offers new oppor­tu­ni­ties in terms of den­tal exam­i­na­tion but is still lit­tle known to the pub­lic.

    The cone beam (or CBCT: cone beam com­put­ed tomog­ra­phy) is a new dig­i­tal radi­ol­o­gy tech­nique. This device has the advan­tage of being more accu­rate than the den­tal panoram­ic x-ray with a sim­i­lar res­o­lu­tion, even greater than the scan­ner, with the pos­si­bil­i­ty of a 3D dig­i­tal recon­struc­tion.

    Added advan­tage, the cone beam pro­vides more detailed guid­ance on the small bone struc­tures, which are often dif­fi­cult to view on a scan­ner. And con­verse­ly, it can scan in a sin­gle pass the entire vol­ume to be x-rayed, while also being less irra­di­at­ing. It also offers the pos­si­bil­i­ty of locat­ing the exam­i­na­tion area on the study area, there­by avoid­ing the unnec­es­sary irra­di­a­tion of oth­er parts of the skull.

    CBCT appli­ca­tions are numer­ous: wis­dom teeth, frac­tures, infec­tions or cysts. It is the key instru­ment in pre-implant eval­u­a­tion. It enables more accu­rate bone vol­ume eval­u­a­tion and the posi­tion of del­i­cate anatom­i­cal struc­tures such as nerves and the max­il­lary sinus for implant place­ment.

    It also has its lim­its; it can­not eval­u­ate soft tis­sue.

• Complete edentulism     
        

  • In case of com­plete tooth loss, we sug­gest the All-on-Four treat­ment con­cept that brings back a last­ing, pleas­ant and imme­di­ate smile in just a few days.

    This inno­v­a­tive sur­gi­cal tech­nique, enables the fix­a­tion of tem­po­rary full-pros­the­sis sup­port­ed by four implants. With no bone graft­ing, this treat­ment is faster and more eco­nom­i­cal. In gen­er­al, one oper­a­tion is all that is required, con­duct­ed under local anaes­the­sia or seda­tion. The per­ma­nent pros­the­sis is placed three months lat­er.

    

      

      
    
  
• Dental abrasion/erosion     
        

  • Cer­tain teeth may show patho­log­i­cal wear and tear. With­out prop­er treat­ment this process may evolve towards aes­thet­ic and func­tion­al loss.

     

    A thor­ough exam­i­na­tion makes it pos­si­ble to under­stand the caus­es (brux­ism, stress, acid food, tics etc.) and offer ade­quate treat­ment from the first signs.

     

    We favour the most con­ser­v­a­tive treat­ment pos­si­ble using inlays and porce­lain veneers and do our best to pre­serve as much den­tal tis­sue as pos­si­ble.

• Gingival conditioning     
        

  • Good qual­i­ta­tive and quan­ti­ta­tive gin­gi­va is required on implant sites to ensure an ide­al prog­no­sis for implants. Var­i­ous sur­gi­cal tech­niques exist to opti­mise the gin­gi­va.

      
    
  
• General anaesthesia         
        

  • Tech­ni­cal, phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal and med­ical advances, allow us to con­duct pro­ce­dures under gen­er­al anaes­the­sia in an out­pa­tient set­ting in com­plete safe­ty and accord­ing to the stan­dards and rec­om­men­da­tions of the Swiss Soci­ety of Anaes­the­si­ol­o­gy and Resus­ci­ta­tion.

    

      
    
  
• Sedation     
        

  • This tech­nique, also suit­able for ner­vous patients, allows us to make the patient drowsy and unaware of any pain, it ensures imme­di­ate and com­fort­able awak­en­ing, the patient can go home after a brief obser­va­tion peri­od.

      
    
  
• Sedation and general anaesthesia     
        

  • For long or major sur­gi­cal oper­a­tions, we offer anaes­the­sia by seda­tion or even gen­er­al anaes­the­sia at the clin­ic.

    Con­duct­ed and mon­i­tored by our FMH-accred­it­ed anaes­thetist spe­cial­ist, the­se acts require prepa­ra­tion and addi­tion­al mon­i­tor­ing.

• Bone Regeneration     
        

  • In cas­es with insuf­fi­cient bone graft, a bone graft oper­a­tion must be car­ried out (in most cas­es by local anaes­the­sia) in order to increase its vol­ume.

• Technical works:     
        

  • We col­lab­o­rate with the Ciriza J Den­tal SA lab­o­ra­to­ry in Gland for all pros­thet­ic work. The lab­o­ra­to­ry is com­posed of sev­er­al tech­ni­cians, each with their own speci­fici­ty. This allows us to ensure tech­ni­cal work of the high­est qual­i­ty, com­bin­ing aes­thet­ics and pre­ci­sion.

     

    

      
    
  
• Periodontology     
        

  • The peri­odon­tium, tooth sup­port­ing tis­sue, con­sists of the gin­gi­va and the alve­o­lar bone encom­pass­ing the den­tal roots.

    Gin­givi­tis, slight inflam­ma­tion of bac­te­ri­al orig­in of the gums around the teeth or implants can be reversible. This requires reg­u­lar hygiene care. Untreat­ed gin­givi­tis can degen­er­ate into peri­odon­ti­tis, greater involve­ment char­ac­terised by irre­versible bone loss. With­out treat­ment the teeth can move and even­tu­al­ly fall out. Peri­odon­ti­tis is a mul­ti­fac­to­ri­al dis­ease influ­enced amongst oth­ers by the accu­mu­la­tion of tar­tar, plaque and tobac­co smoke.

    Our hygien­ists have a vital role in pre­vent­ing peri­odon­tal dis­ease and reg­u­lar mon­i­tor­ing is essen­tial to main­tain a healthy oral con­di­tion.

• Endodontics (root canal treatment)     
        

  • Endodon­tics treats the inside of the tooth: the pulp and peri­radic­u­lar tis­sues (sur­round­ing the root). Designed to treat and pre­vent infec­tions in the­se areas, it pre­serves teeth that could be per­ma­nent­ly lost.

    In our clin­ic, Doc­tor Milanka Planinic con­ducts the vast major­i­ty of root canal treat­ments. She has exten­sive expe­ri­ence in this area from work­ing for sev­er­al years in the endodon­tic divi­sion of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Geneva, Den­tal Med­i­cine Sec­tion.

     

     

     

      
    
  
• Implant     
        

  • The replace­ment of a tooth with an implant is now a reli­able treat­ment option. How­ev­er, it is nec­es­sary to have a suit­able recip­i­ent bone site, to ensure strength and dura­bil­i­ty to the implant. Accord­ing to recent sta­tis­tics the suc­cess rate of implants in 10 years in the non-smok­er is between 90 and 95%.

    We have over fif­teen years of expe­ri­ence.

     

    

     

     

      
    
  
• Inlay and onlays     
        

  • For large cav­i­ty den­tal restora­tions, ceram­ic onlays or inlays are car­ried out by our den­tal tech­ni­cian. This type of indi­rect fill­ing allows the den­tist to ensure a safe and aes­thet­ic result in com­par­ison to con­ven­tion­al com­pos­ites.

     

      

      

     

     

      
    
  
• Crown and Bridge     
        

  • CROWN:

    In case of sig­nif­i­cant den­tal sub­stance loss (cav­i­ty, frac­ture, for­mer treat­ment…), the tooth must be ful­ly cov­ered by a crown. We work with ful­ly ceram­ic crowns (Emax). In addi­tion to their unde­ni­able aes­thet­ic qual­i­ties, they exhibit func­tion­al char­ac­ter­is­tics and first-class dura­bil­i­ty.

    BRIDGE:

    A bridge is used to main­tain one or more arti­fi­cial teeth rest­ing on pil­lars or den­tal implants. It is a fixed and irre­mov­able den­tal pros­the­sis. Long used in our pro­fes­sion, the bridge is now increas­ing­ly replaced by implants.

     

      
    
  
• Dental veneers     
        

  • Veneers are thin porce­lain shells used as a sub­sti­tute to replace or cov­er part of the tooth enam­el. Sig­nif­i­cant colour and/or shape changes enable per­fect aes­thet­ic results.

        

        

      

      

      
    
  
• Composite Resins     
        

  • Com­pos­ite resins have been steadi­ly replac­ing den­tal amal­gams for a cou­ple of years now. Applied direct­ly to the tooth sub­stance loss­es they restore func­tion and aes­thet­ics.

    A very large palet­te of colours enables a per­fect result.

     

    

     

     

     

      
    
  
• Teeth whitening     
        

  • The teeth whiten­ing process is an appli­ca­tion of hydro­gen per­ox­ide in var­i­ous chem­i­cal forms. This safe and preser­v­a­tive treat­ment should be per­formed by a den­tist, as the con­cen­tra­tions of hydro­gen per­ox­ide may be sig­nif­i­cant.

    Added advan­tage, the cone beam pro­vides more detailed guid­ance on the small bone struc­tures, which are often dif­fi­cult to view on a scan­ner. And con­verse­ly, it can scan in a sin­gle pass the entire vol­ume to be x-rayed, while also being less irra­di­at­ing. It also offers the pos­si­bil­i­ty of locat­ing the exam­i­na­tion area on the study area, there­by avoid­ing the unnec­es­sary irra­di­a­tion of oth­er parts of the skull.

    CBCT appli­ca­tions are numer­ous: wis­dom teeth, frac­tures, infec­tions or cysts. It is the key instru­ment in pre-implant eval­u­a­tion. It enables more accu­rate bone vol­ume eval­u­a­tion and the posi­tion of del­i­cate anatom­i­cal struc­tures such as nerves and the max­il­lary sinus for implant place­ment.

    It also has its lim­its; it can­not eval­u­ate soft tis­sue.

    This inno­v­a­tive sur­gi­cal tech­nique, enables the fix­a­tion of tem­po­rary full-pros­the­sis sup­port­ed by four implants. With no bone graft­ing, this treat­ment is faster and more eco­nom­i­cal. In gen­er­al, one oper­a­tion is all that is required, con­duct­ed under local anaes­the­sia or seda­tion. The per­ma­nent pros­the­sis is placed three months lat­er.

• Periodontology     
        

  • The peri­odon­tium, tooth sup­port­ing tis­sue, con­sists of the gin­gi­va and the alve­o­lar bone encom­pass­ing the den­tal roots.

    Gin­givi­tis, slight inflam­ma­tion of bac­te­ri­al orig­in of the gums around the teeth or implants can be reversible. This requires reg­u­lar hygiene care. Untreat­ed gin­givi­tis can degen­er­ate into peri­odon­ti­tis, greater involve­ment char­ac­terised by irre­versible bone loss. With­out treat­ment the teeth can move and even­tu­al­ly fall out. Peri­odon­ti­tis is a mul­ti­fac­to­ri­al dis­ease influ­enced amongst oth­ers by the accu­mu­la­tion of tar­tar, plaque and tobac­co smoke.

    Our hygien­ists have a vital role in pre­vent­ing peri­odon­tal dis­ease and reg­u­lar mon­i­tor­ing is essen­tial to main­tain a healthy oral con­di­tion.

  • The replace­ment of a tooth with an implant is now a reli­able treat­ment option. How­ev­er, it is nec­es­sary to have a suit­able recip­i­ent bone site, to ensure strength and dura­bil­i­ty to the implant. Accord­ing to recent sta­tis­tics the suc­cess rate of implants in 10 years in the non-smok­er is between 90 and 95%.

    We have over fif­teen years of expe­ri­ence.

This type of indi­rect fill­ing allows the den­tist to ensure a safe and aes­thet­ic result in com­par­ison to con­ven­tion­al com­pos­ites.

     

      

      

     

     

      
    
  
• Crown and Bridge     
        

  • CROWN:

    In case of sig­nif­i­cant den­tal sub­stance loss (cav­i­ty, frac­ture, for­mer treat­ment…), the tooth must be ful­ly cov­ered by a crown. We work with ful­ly ceram­ic crowns (Emax). In addi­tion to their unde­ni­able aes­thet­ic qual­i­ties, they exhibit func­tion­al char­ac­ter­is­tics and first-class dura­bil­i­ty.

    BRIDGE:

    A bridge is used to main­tain one or more arti­fi­cial teeth rest­ing on pil­lars or den­tal implants. It is a fixed and irre­mov­able den­tal pros­the­sis. Long used in our pro­fes­sion, the bridge is now increas­ing­ly replaced by implants.

     

      
    
  
• Dental veneers     
        

  • Veneers are thin porce­lain shells used as a sub­sti­tute to replace or cov­er part of the tooth enam­el. Sig­nif­i­cant colour and/or shape changes enable per­fect aes­thet­ic results.

    Com­put­er aid­ed design includes all soft­ware and mod­el­ling tech­niques for design and vir­tu­al test­ing with the help of a com­put­er and dig­i­tal sim­u­la­tion tech­niques to both design and man­u­fac­ture prod­ucts.

    Our clin­ic has a CEREC Omni­cam cam­era (Sirona) for intra­o­ral impres­sion cap­ture.

    Dig­i­tal impres­sions do not com­plete­ly replace con­ven­tion­al impres­sions at this time. This impres­sion method rep­re­sents sig­nif­i­cant com­fort for the patient, as it replaces the con­ven­tion­al method with imprint tray and impres­sion mate­ri­al.

    Dig­i­tal impres­sions car­ried out at the clin­ic are sent to our den­tal lab­o­ra­to­ry, where with the help of soft­ware, the restora­tion is vir­tu­al­ly cre­at­ed and trans­mit­ted to the pro­cess­ing unit, the CEREC MC XL, which cre­ates the pros­the­sis by milling.

    It should be not­ed that no lab­o­ra­to­ry machine can yet replace a technician’s know-how in the aes­thet­ic ren­der­ing of ceram­ics. This is why we only use it for the pos­te­ri­or pros­the­sis after cos­met­ic ren­der­ing by the tech­ni­cian and as a rigid base frame, on which the tech­ni­cian will mount their ceram­ic veneer.

    We are on the eve of a quite dif­fer­ent rev­o­lu­tion­ary dig­i­tal process that should arrive in our clin­ics in a cou­ple of years: the 3D print­er.

    

    Cone Beam – CBCT

    Since 2016 we are for­tu­nate to be equipped with a pow­er­ful tool for x-ray exam­i­na­tion of the max­il­la: the Kavo Pan Exam Plus 3D

    Mid­way between panoram­ic x-ray and scan­ner, the cone beam has cre­at­ed a mini rev­o­lu­tion in the field of med­ical imag­ing. This device offers new oppor­tu­ni­ties in terms of den­tal exam­i­na­tion but is still lit­tle known to the pub­lic.

    The cone beam (or CBCT: cone beam com­put­ed tomog­ra­phy) is a new dig­i­tal radi­ol­o­gy tech­nique.
