Science continues to amaze us with breakthroughs that could completely transform dentistry. Recently, researchers at King’s College London have achieved something that until recently seemed straight out of a science fiction movie: growing human teeth in a laboratory.

Invisible orthodontics has emerged as one of the most popular solutions for those seeking to correct their dental alignment in a discreet, comfortable, and effective way. This innovative option, based on the use of clear aligners, has transformed the way we approach orthodontic treatment, offering significant advantages over traditional metal braces.

The desire to regenerate teeth has long been a goal for both patients and dentists, and now it seems closer to becoming a reality.

It can go unnoticed for a long time, and its initial symptoms are often difficult to detect.

Dental amalgam is a material made of mercury and other metals such as silver, zinc, tin, and copper. It has been used for over 150 years to treat cavities due to its great durability and strength.

A healthy smile is the reflection of good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. Nutrition plays a crucial role in the care of our teeth and gums, as some foods can strengthen and protect them, while others can harm them.

Periodontitis, a severe gum infection, is one of the most common dental diseases and can have effects beyond oral health. Recently, several studies have highlighted the connection between periodontitis and type 2 diabetes.

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 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.

Orthodontic treatment with invisible aligners is safe as long as it is diagnosed, planned, and implemented by a licensed dentist.

Ah, summer. That time of the year when the sun shines brighter, the beach calls you with its waves, and ice cream becomes your best friend.

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.

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.

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.

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").

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.

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.

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.
