Dental Regeneration and CRISPR
Dental regeneration and the use of the CRISPR tool for genetic editing are scientific innovations that could radically transform dental treatment in the future.
Dental veneers
Dental veneers are one of the most popular options in aesthetic dentistry to transform the appearance of the smile, providing a quick and effective solution for a variety of dental issues. This treatment involves placing thin layers of porcelain or composite resin over the front surface of the teeth, improving their shape, color, and alignment.

Braided wire in orthodontics
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on the correct alignment of teeth and molars to achieve both aesthetic and proper masticatory function. The team at Pizarro y Montenegro Dental Clinic believes that having aligned teeth goes beyond just an aesthetic factor, as sometimes it can affect the bite, causing issues with cleaning and chewing processes, leading to periodontal diseases, tension in the muscles involved in chewing, pain, and physical discomfort.
The Magic of Feldspathic
Have you ever dreamed of a dazzling smile that reflects the best of you? Dental veneers can make that dream come true. Whether to correct discolored, damaged, or misaligned teeth, veneers offer a quick and effective solution for achieving the perfect smile. Today, we will talk about feldspathic veneers, a high-quality option that is revolutionizing the world of aesthetic dentistry.

Currently, there are resources to place dental implants in a completely painless manner. With the help of local anesthesia and conscious sedation, we ensure that patients feel absolutely nothing.
How to achieve good oral hygiene
Brushing your teeth regularly every day is important, as it helps eliminate the plaque that builds up on your teeth. This way, we can prevent periodontal diseases. On the other hand, poor oral hygiene is not only associated with mouth problems but also with other health issues caused by the entry of bacteria into the body.
Dental aesthetics for everyone
In the following case, we will see how Dental Aesthetics is not just exclusive to adult patients. We present a case of a child who, in a domestic accident, broke one of his upper central incisors (the "front teeth").
How are dental implants made
For many years, the majority of dental implants were made out of titanium. With technology advancing, though, more and more dental implants are being made from different implant materials.
Do i need antibiotics after dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is inserted into the jawbone and to which a crown, bridge, or denture is attached. Dental implants fuse with the bone in a process known as osseo-integration ("osseo" – bone; "integrate" – to make whole). Sometimes adjunctive procedures are necessary, such as bone or gum tissue grafting to enhance placement success, and in all of these scenarios antibiotics may play a role to ensure good healing.
What are retainers for?
At the end of orthodontic treatment, teeth tend to return to their original position. To prevent the correct alignment achieved through invisible orthodontics or braces from being lost, dental retainers must be used.
