Studio Dentistico Schulthess & Ottobrelli Bellinzona

Great strength of the clinic is the rehabilitation surgery sector which is based on the ten-year experience of dr. Stefano Ottobrelli who boasts, in addition to the hundreds of implants placed, complex rehabilitation surgeries, immediate full-arch loads on 4 or 6 implants, and bone graft operations.

In cases of significant bone loss, it is possible to evaluate the option of inserting zygomatic implants. a few hours after surgery. This type of dental implants is based on the insertion of pins that must reach the zygomatic bones stably and therefore are longer than those used for traditional implants.

Thanks to the support of a team of anesthetists it is possible to perform these interventions in a conscious sedation regime, a procedure that allows the patient not to perceive pain or discomfort as well as allowing the surgeon to operate in a safer and faster way.

This particular technique, which has been in use for some years now, allows one or more teeth to be replaced immediately after extraction. One of the most performed immediate loading interventions is that carried out on the entire arch. In fact, many patients require this intervention when the remaining teeth are now compromised and cannot be recovered. We then proceed with the extraction of all the dental elements and the placement of 4 or 6 implants during the same operation. Within the following 24 hours you can already insert a fixed prosthesis screwed onto the placed implants. This operation can be performed under anxiolysis (or conscious sedation).

A lack of bone is unfortunately not a rare case and in some cases compromises the possibility of immediately placing an implant to replace the missing tooth. This condition can occur, for example, following complex extractions, gum diseases such as periodontitis, or situations of edentulism neglected for a long time. The need or otherwise of a graft is determined in the diagnostic phase, when the specialist is responsible for verifying the patient's suitability for the requested implant therapy. Before proceeding with the insertion of one or more implants, it is necessary to carry out accurate radiological examinations of the areas to be operated on, i.e. panoramic radiographs of the arches and, where necessary, 3D CT scans. Once the surgery has been carried out, you may have to wait a few months before placing the implant. After the osseointegration of the implant into the new bone, the missing tooth or teeth can be replaced.

This is a removable partial prosthesis suitable for the rehabilitation of partial edentulism, that is to say in the case where healthy dental elements remain in the arch in sufficient number to guarantee the stability of the prosthesis. . In order to position the attachments, it is first necessary to cover the natural teeth which support the prosthesis with crowns into which the attachments of the mobile skeletonized prosthesis will be inserted. The prosthesis consists of a metal structure covered in pink resin at the gums and white resin teeth.

Fixed dental prostheses allow you to restore lost aesthetics. Crowns or veneers are built on the basis of digital impressions obtained by directly scanning the patient's teeth, thus obtaining an extremely precise result. The Dental Crown, also called capsule, is a prosthesis on one or more teeth, with a natural root or with an implant (artificial root), to replace the most superficial and visible part of the tooth.

Invisible orthodontics is a treatment that offers the possibility of fixing the smile without resorting to wires or braces that are too visible and annoying. It is a system of completely transparent masks that gradually, with small movements that do not cause trauma to the teeth, straighten the dental arch. There is no need to take annoying impressions because the doctor uses a dedicated scanner on which the treatment evaluation will then be carried out. The trays are flush with the tooth or do not touch the gum and do not give any annoying sensations, they can be (and should) be kept on all day without problem, removing them exclusively to eat. Even for sports, they are absolutely portable and do not cause trauma. It is a treatment indicated for both adults and children. A specialist visit to our orthodontist is necessary to determine the feasibility of the treatment.

Tartar ablation is the removal of soft (bacterial plaque) and hard (tartar) deposits and extrinsic pigmentations from all dental surfaces through the use of ultrasonic and manual instruments, such as scalers. Then, what is called "polishing" of the dental surfaces is carried out using a toothbrush or cups and abrasive pastes, aimed at polishing the dental surfaces after the ablation of tartar. Whitening is an aesthetic dental treatment aimed at changing the shade of the patient's natural tooth color. The products used for this purpose, commonly referred to as “whitening agents”, mainly contain hydrogen peroxide and carbamide, which release oxygen in contact with the tooth surface. These oxygen molecules break up the pigment molecules responsible for the dyschromia, making them no longer visible.

The dental branch that deals with treating the damage generated by caries and trauma, preserving the original structure and shape of the tooth, is called conservative dentistry. Filling is a technique that falls within this branch and is performed to remove decayed dental tissue and restore superficially or moderately affected teeth. This procedure guarantees the total restoration of the carious tooth structure.
