Do you want to whiten your teeth in a way that does not affect the tooth structure? Do you dream of having veneers but want to avoid filing down a healthy tooth? Do you want to fix severe crowding with clear aligners alone, with no need for extractions? Choose minimally invasive dentistry! One of the guiding ideas at Clínica Peydro is to reach the expected result while doing the least possible harm to the patient’s teeth and original tissues, which is why we study each patient’s case in detail before rushing into any treatment. This philosophy comes from Clínica Peydro’s commitment to respecting the oral structure of anyone who wants to improve the appearance of their teeth. That is why all our work-ups are focused on conserving the tooth, leaving behind aggressive treatments that could affect healthy teeth.
The basic principles of MID
But how do we go about practicing minimally invasive dentistry at Clínica Peydro? From the moment you come through the door of our practice, our dentists work to respect your oral structure as far as possible. Prevention is key to that. At Clínica Peydro we develop all kinds of protocols so we can make an early diagnosis that allows minimally invasive treatment, where conserving the healthy tooth comes first. We do not damage, file down or remove healthy tissue unless it is strictly necessary. That is why we work with quality materials that ensure the best possible results. Another cornerstone of minimally invasive dentistry is communication. The dentist has to tell the patient about every procedure that will be carried out during their treatment, and the patient also has to tell the dentist what their goals are so decisions can be made on that basis.
The benefits of minimally invasive dentistry
Although minimally invasive dentistry calls for good technology, time and skilled hands, its benefits are countless. This kind of dentistry prevents conditions such as decay and reduces the chance of rejection when a dental implant is placed. On top of that, it also minimizes the pain of treatment and makes recovery quicker, so the patient is far happier with the result and loses their fear of the dentist.
Treatments in which we use minimally invasive surgery
At present, at Clínica Peydro we use minimally invasive surgery in the following dental treatments:
- Clear aligners. Dr. Diego Peydro is the one who runs the protocols at our practice. Using clear aligners alone, he can solve severe crowding, deep bites, malocclusions and even gummy smiles with no need for extractions. Clear aligners let you solve all of these problems without affecting how you look and without having to come in to the practice all the time.
- Teeth whitening. Dr. Marta Peydro handles teeth whitening at our practice, and she currently leads research into the most advanced techniques in esthetic dentistry and whitening. At our practice we lighten the tooth without altering its structure, making your smile whiter and brighter using conservative techniques.
- Dental veneers. At Clínica Peydro we fit the veneers to the anatomy of the tooth to achieve a natural, perfect result. For this treatment we use a conservative technique that does not alter the structure of the tooth. Our practice works mainly with composite veneers, porcelain veneers and Lumineers.
- Dental implants. These days, whenever possible, we opt for same-day dental implants. This kind of implant does not alter the blood supply of the surrounding tissue, meaning the teeth beside it are not changed in any way, which was not the case with dental bridges.
