Dental Aesthetics for a beautiful and healthy smile
Dental esthetics is multidisciplinary because the objective is to obtain an esthetic and harmonious smile. For this we must treat both the internal hard tissues odontologically with veneers, whitening, orthodontics, dental implants but, in turn, all the surrounding soft structures that would be the lips, nasolabial, perioral wrinkles, wrinkles of bitterness, and we must work multidisciplinary, uniting both disciplines to obtain an excellent result.
Main treatments of Dental Aesthetics
The treatments in this union are multiple and so are the combinations. It is very important the diagnosis, particular to each patient. Look for their lines of aging and find a way to reverse them. I am going to give an example: a person who comes to us because he or she really looks old, looks bad, and we will have to analyze the reasons for this aging. In this case, at the level of the teeth, we will have a loss of color, a darkening of these teeth that will require whitening, perhaps there will be an attriction of the teeth, an important wear that will require rehabilitation.
We will analyze and carry out the treatment according to the diagnosis. At the same time, this aging will also have affected the facial level. We have a flaccidity, we have a fall of tissues and an increase of wrinkles. This will also require a series of combined Aesthetic Medicine treatments, including muscle stimulation. Thus, there may be a treatment with tensor threads to reposition the sagging tissues, filling of all the sectors in which we have lost volume with hyaluronic acid, with polycaprolactone. Depending on the cases we are going to stimulate collagen, we are going to perform a global treatment of this face. We are looking for facial aesthetics of the patient and this is the advantage of using both specialties.
Advantages of the union between Aesthetic Medicine and Dentistry
The advantage is absolute. The union of these 2 specialties has been the struggle of my whole life, looking for the union of facial aesthetics taking into account the hard and soft tissues that are involved to have it. This allows me to make an excellent diagnosis giving the patient a joint vision of their aesthetics, both dental and facial, and all the possibilities that we can have with different treatments to seek excellence in the results.
What is the future of dental esthetics?
I see it very closely linked to facial esthetics. In fact, I am a pioneer in this field. I believe that the ideal would be for the same professional to bring together both degrees, medicine and dentistry. This is extremely difficult and, therefore, I believe that the future will be multidisciplinary teams that will unite aesthetic medicine with dentistry, as long as the aim is to seek excellence in the results.
