General Dentistry and Integral Health

2. Conservative Dentistry (Fillings and Reconstructions)

The goal of conservative dentistry is to save and restore damaged teeth, avoiding extraction as much as possible. We use minimal intervention techniques to restore functionality and beauty to your mouth in a lasting way.

• Dental fillings (composite fillings): When a cavity affects the enamel, we perform precise fillings to remove the damaged tissue. In our clinic we use high quality composite resins that perfectly mimic the color of your tooth. These advanced materials guarantee impeccable esthetics and optimal resistance, restoring the tooth to its natural chewing function immediately.

• Complete dental reconstructions: In cases where the tooth has suffered trauma or a significant loss of structure, we perform an aesthetic dental reconstruction. This procedure allows us to restore the original anatomy of the tooth, giving it back its shape, size and strength so that it can look and function like a healthy tooth.

• Reconstruction of large cavities: For situations where caries damage is extensive but a dental crown is not yet necessary, we employ state-of-the-art hybrid materials. These large reconstructions are designed to withstand the forces of the bite, restoring the integrity of the tooth more conservatively than a traditional veneer.

• Dental inlays and onlays: When a simple filling does not provide the necessary strength, we resort to porcelain or composite inlays. They are restorations made to measure in the laboratory that are precisely cemented on the tooth. It is the ideal solution for restoring molars with heavy wear, guaranteeing much greater durability than conventional fillings.

• Replacement of old amalgam fillings: Many patients come to our clinic to replace old silver fillings (amalgam) for esthetic or health reasons. We replace these dark fillings with biocompatible and highly esthetic materials. The result is a metal-free mouth, with invisible restorations that safely reinforce the tooth structure.

3. Specialized Endodontics: Saving your dental piece.

Endodontics is the procedure of last resort to preserve a tooth that would otherwise have to be extracted. When a deep cavity, fracture or dental trauma affects the nerve (dental pulp), we perform what is commonly known as root canal treatment to restore the tooth to health without losing it.

• Advanced Root Canal Treatment: Our specialists use rotary endodontic techniques and state-of-the-art tools to clean the root canal system accurately and effectively. The primary goal is to eliminate bacterial infection, relieve acute pain and provide a tight seal of the root canals to prevent future complications or reinfection.

• Reendodontics (Retreatment): Occasionally, a tooth that has already been endodontically treated may return with discomfort or infection due to complex canals or leaks. In these cases, we perform a re-endodontic treatment, removing the old material to clean and disinfect the area again. It is a thorough procedure specifically designed to avoid tooth extraction in compromised teeth.

• Complex multi-root root canals: Molars present a difficult anatomy, with three or more roots that often have curved or calcified canals. We have the experience and equipment necessary to successfully address these complex root canals, ensuring that each canal is treated to the apex for complete healing.

• Pulpotomies (Pediatric Endodontics): This treatment is vital in pediatric dentistry. When caries affects the nerve in primary (baby) teeth or young permanent teeth, we perform a pulpotomy. The objective is to eliminate the damaged part of the nerve but maintain the vitality of the rest so that the tooth fulfills its function until the time of natural replacement, ensuring the proper development of the child’s mouth.

4. Periodontics: Specialized Gum Treatment

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Pathologies such as gingivitis (reversible inflammation) and periodontitis (pyorrhea) not only affect your mouth, but have a direct impact on your overall health. In our clinic, we apply advanced periodontal protocols to stop infection and protect the support of your teeth.

• Deep cleaning and disinfection of periodontal pockets: When conventional hygiene is not enough, we treat periodontal pockets (the space that forms between the gum and the tooth). We remove hard-to-reach bacterial reservoirs to stop inflammation and prevent tissue destruction.

• Subgingival plaque and calculus removal: We use precision instruments to remove calculus deposits under the gum. This procedure is vital to deflate the tissues and allow the gum to reattach firmly to the tooth.

• Scaling and root planing (curettage): This is the gold standard treatment to combat periodontal disease. Through this technique, we remove impurities from the root of the tooth and smooth its surface to make it difficult for bacteria to recolonize the area. It is a crucial step in stopping bone loss and preserving tooth structure in the long term.

• Preventive Periodontal Maintenance: Periodontitis is a chronic disease that requires vigilance. We establish a schedule of maintenance visits every 4-6 months to monitor the health of your gums, perform specific clinical cleanings and avoid relapses that put your smile at risk.

• Basic periodontal surgery: In advanced cases where the periodontal pockets are very deep, we perform small interventions to clean the roots under direct vision. This allows us to ensure total disinfection in areas where conventional instruments cannot reach, facilitating the regeneration of healthy tissue.

• Frenectomies and Periodontal Plastic Surgery: We perform surgical correction of oral braces that interfere with oral health. A timely frenectomy can prevent receding gums or correct diastema (excessive separation between teeth), improving both the aesthetics and functionality of your mouth.

5. General Dentistry Oral Surgery and Extractions

At our clinic, we understand that the word “surgery” can be a cause for concern. Therefore, we apply minimally invasive surgery protocols and advanced anesthesia techniques to ensure that any intervention is a calm, safe and, above all, pain-free experience.

• Safe tooth extractions (Exodontia): Our primary goal is to preserve your natural teeth, but in cases of advanced dental infection, irreparable fractures or lack of space, an extraction may be the best solution to protect your overall health. We perform atraumatic extractions efficiently, taking the utmost care of the surrounding tissues to ensure fast and uncomplicated healing.

• Wisdom teeth surgery (impacted wisdom teeth): Lack of space for third molars can cause pain, crowding or cysts. We are specialists in the extraction of impacted or malpositioned wisdom teeth. The procedure is performed under state-of-the-art local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable process and a controlled postoperative period for the patient.

• Excision of cysts and soft tissue lesions: We perform the surgical removal of small anomalies, lumps or oral cysts that may appear on the gums, lips or mucous membranes. These interventions are quick and essential to perform diagnostic biopsies or simply to eliminate discomfort and restore health to the soft tissues of the mouth.

• Alveoloplasty and prosthetic preparation: After an extraction, sometimes the bone presents irregularities that may hinder healing or the placement of a future implant or denture. Alveoloplasty is the technique by which we regularize and smooth the contour of the alveolar bone. This procedure is key to facilitate optimal healing and ensure that future dental prostheses have a perfect and comfortable fit.

6. Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMJ) and Bruxism

Do you wake up with jaw pain, facial fatigue or headache? Bruxism (involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth) affects a large part of the population due to stress. In our clinic we treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems to protect your teeth and improve your quality of life.

• Bruxism Relief Splints: Nighttime clenching can cause fractures, sensitivity and premature enamel wear. Our splints are designed to interpose between the teeth, absorbing the force of the bite and allowing the facial muscles to relax during sleep. It is the ultimate solution to protect your teeth from severe wear.

• Michigan Offloading Splint: The gold standard for the treatment of TMJ pathology. Unlike conventional soft splints, the Michigan splint is a rigid, flat, fully customized device. Its function is to guide the jaw into a neuro-muscular resting position and is highly effective in eliminating jaw pain, joint clicking and dental tension headaches.

• Selective grinding and occlusal balancing: Sometimes, the origin of dental trauma is an inadequate contact between the upper and lower teeth. We make small adjustments in the bite by selective grinding of the premature contact points. This procedure helps balance the chewing force, reduces overload on the joint and prevents dental trauma that can loosen or break your teeth.

7. Diagnosis and Treatment of Halitosis

Bad breath is a condition that affects one in four people and often has a negative impact on social and professional life. It is important to know that, in 90% of cases, the cause lies in the oral cavity. In our clinic we do not hide the symptom, but apply a thorough clinical diagnosis to eliminate the root of the problem and restore your confidence in speaking and smiling.

Our professional solutions include:

• Identification of bacterial foci: We use detection methods to locate accumulations of anaerobic bacteria that produce volatile sulfur compounds (VSC), the main cause of unpleasant odors. Once identified, we proceed to their selective elimination.

• Deep and professional tongue cleaning: Much of halitosis originates in the tongue tag, a whitish layer of debris and bacteria that is deposited on the back of the tongue. We perform a deep cleaning and instruct you in the use of specific tools to keep this area free of microorganisms.

• Treatment of hidden oral infections: Often, halitosis is the first symptom of undiagnosed periodontitis or interproximal (between the teeth) cavities that retain decaying food debris. By treating these pathologies, bad breath disappears naturally as part of the recovery of your gingival health.

• Personalized oral hygiene and chemotherapy protocols: We prescribe specific agents such as zinc lactate and chlorhexidine mouthwashes at appropriate concentrations, which neutralize foul-smelling gases. In addition, we design a personalized hygiene plan that includes the expert handling of tongue cleaners and dental floss.

• Control and management of Xerostomia (dry mouth): Lack of saliva reduces the self-cleaning capacity of the mouth. If you suffer from dry mouth, we implement treatments to stimulate the secretion of saliva, the most powerful natural protector against bacteria that cause bad breath, ensuring constant hydration of your oral tissues.

Don’t let a small discomfort become a major problem. In our clinic in Benitachell or Jávea, we are ready to listen to you and design a health plan for you.
