Dr Fabio Greco – Expert in Exodontics, Sinus Lift and All-on-Six & All-on-Four Implants in Lugano

Dr FABIO GRECo, ORAL SURGERY SPECIALIST

Dr Fabio Greco is the director of Studio Dentistico Nassa, a trusted name in Lugano for those looking to entrust their smile to expert hands.

As a specialist in oral surgery, he has extensive expertise across multiple areas, including:

Exodontics – Surgical extraction of a tooth or its non-recoverable parts. The procedure varies in duration depending on the patient’s condition and begins with local anaesthesia, followed by mobilisation and removal of the tooth. Stitches are often applied as part of the healing process.

Wisdom tooth extraction, which may be necessary even in the absence of infection. Symptoms that indicate removal may include swelling, pain, bleeding, earache, bad breath, headaches, difficulty swallowing, and jaw stiffness.

All-on-Six and All-on-Four implantology, using 6 or 4 dental implants. With the aid of advanced computer-guided surgery, Dr Greco designs customised solutions tailored to each patient’s functional needs, allowing them to regain their smile immediately.

When immediate implant placement is not possible, Dr Fabio Greco employs delayed-load implantology, which requires a specific healing period to allow for osseointegration—the fusion of the implant screw with the bone tissue. In such cases, the process from implant placement to the final prosthesis can take between 4 to 6 months.

Sinus Lift, elevation of the maxillary sinus: If the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone for implant placement, a sinus lift procedure can be performed. Dr Greco is highly specialised in this technique, which involves increasing bone volume in the maxillary sinus area. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes, and patients can resume normal activities the following day.

Dental bite: Dr Fabio Greco also specialises in treatments for bruxism, such as custom-made bite guards. These help absorb muscular pressure caused by teeth grinding, preventing enamel loss and damage to teeth and gums.

Dr GIULIA Rolla, Orthodontics Specialist

A highly valued member of the team led by Dr Fabio Greco, Dr Giulia Rolla specialises in orthodontics for both adults and children. At Studio Dentistico Nassa in Lugano, customised treatments are available, including:treatments for:

Invisible orthodontics: Invisalign® is one of the safest technologies for teeth alignment. The aligners are custom-made and are generally replaced every two weeks, gradually adjusting the teeth until they reach their final position.

Fixed orthodontics: This involves the application of various components, including metal brackets (or tooth-coloured brackets for improved aesthetics), wires, metal arches, rings or bands that are cemented onto the first molars.

Palatal and lingual orthodontics: A nearly invisible version of fixed orthodontics, where brackets and wires are applied to the inner surface of the mouth—palatal (upper) and lingual (lower). This method requires specific patient suitability and typically extends treatment time.

Interceptive orthodontics: Also known as preventive orthodontics, this approach is mainly for young children. Suitable up until pubertal growth, it helps to reduce orthopaedic, orthodontic and functional issues through the use of fixed or removable appliances.

Dr Massimo Di Stefano, PERIODONTOLOGY SPECIALIST

Dr Massimo Di Stefano is a dentist specialising in periodontology, offering effective treatments for gum recession and its associated consequences. His expertise includes:

Gum recession: The loss of attachment, leading to an apparent lengthening of the tooth, is not only an aesthetic concern but can also cause hypersensitivity and pain. After assessing risk factors, Dr Di Stefano performs periodontal plastic surgery to reconstruct lost tissue, even in the presence of intrabony defects.

Intrabony defects: Once inflammation is addressed through the recommended periodontal treatments, areas affected by bone loss can be successfully regenerated.

Implant regeneration: When remaining bone anatomy does not allow for the effective placement of osseointegrated implants, Dr Di Stefano employs proven bone regeneration techniques.

Peri-implantitis: Unfortunately, periodontitis can also affect dental implants, leading to a condition called peri-implantitis, which can progress even faster and more aggressively than traditional periodontitis. This is why early prevention is crucial. Patients can rely on the expertise of Dr Massimo Di Stefano, who offers specialist periodontal care at Studio Dentistico Nassa in Lugano.
