DENTAL HYGIENE AND PREVENTION SERVICES IN LUGANO

INVISIBLE, FIXED, LINGUAL AND PREVENTIVE ORTHODONTICS

For fixed, invisible, lingual and preventive orthodontic treatments, specialist training and extensive experience in studying and correcting the dental and maxillofacial system are required.

Orthodontics is essential for addressing occlusion issues and dental misalignment. With the latest available technology, we can offer personalised solutions tailored to the patient’s medical and aesthetic needs.

ORAL SURGERY

Dr Fabio Greco specialises in oral surgery of the soft and supporting tissues, treating bones and gums through additive, regenerative, functional and aesthetic procedures.

Among the surgical treatments performed at the clinic are:

• Extraction of periodontally compromised teeth affected by irreversible pyorrhoea;
  
• Extraction of root remnants;
  
• Extraction of impacted or partially impacted roots or teeth, such as wisdom teeth that have failed to erupt;
  
• Removal of the apex (apicoectomy) of the tooth root when it cannot be treated;
  
• Removal of cysts and oral cavity growths;
  
• Uncovering impacted teeth;
  
• Sinus lift with grafting of biocompatible material (autologous or heterologous bone).

CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY

Conservative treatments are aimed at preserving teeth affected by superficial or deep cavities.

In the case of superficial cavities, only the affected dentin and enamel are removed, followed by filling the tooth with composite materials.

For deep cavities, where the tooth pulp and nerve fibres are involved, root canal treatment—also known as devitalisation—is required.

ENDODONTICS AND TREATMENT OF CAVITIES

Endodontic treatments are necessary in various cases: not only in the presence of very deep cavities and endodontic lesions, but also for teeth that need to be prepared for prosthetic work to prevent pulp compromise, for teeth where a root must be removed for periodontal reasons, and for teeth that exhibit significant sensitivity.

The endodontic treatment involves the removal of the tooth's pulp, which is then replaced with an inert material. The three steps for endodontic treatment are:

• Removal of pulp remnants;
  
• Shaping and cleaning of the canals;
• Canal filling.

DENTAL AESTHETICS

Studio Dentistico Nassa also takes care of the beauty of your teeth by offering innovative dental aesthetics solutions. With a few careful techniques, it is possible to make your smile brighter without sacrificing a pleasant natural effect.

Each treatment is preceded by a case study and a preview of the desired result to ensure a customised plan tailored to every need.

Among the dental aesthetics procedures offered are:

• Veneers: thin, integral ceramic shells applied to the surface of the natural tooth to correct its colour or shape;
  
• Ceramic crowns (metal-free): ideal for teeth damaged by cavities or fractures. This involves placing a "cap" made from full zirconia or a combination of zirconia and ceramic, depending on the aesthetic requirement;
  
• Teeth whitening: using specific gels whose effectiveness is enhanced by the use of laser technology.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

Restoring teeth with customised implants can be truly transformative for the patient, offering undeniable improvements both aesthetically and functionally.

Say goodbye to removable dentures with dental implants from Studio Dentistico Nassa in Lugano: Dr. Greco's clinic specialises in immediate-load implants and post-extractive implantology, which involves placing an implant at the same time as the extraction of the natural tooth.

DENTAL PROSTHESIS

The dentists at the clinic led by Dr. Fabio Greco specialise in the placement of fixed, removable, and skeletal prostheses.

Dental prostheses are typically made up of veneers, crowns or bridges, which are cemented onto natural supports, such as the roots, replacing missing teeth and improving the aesthetics of the smile.

The fixed dental prosthesis is permanently screwed in place, while the removable prosthesis—recommended in the absence of one or both dental arches – may be equipped with hooks or precision attachments that rest on the natural structure.

PERIODONTITIS TREATMENTS

Gum recession following periodontal diseases can cause pain and increase the risk of infections. With periodontal disease, the gums appear red and swollen, and in the worst cases, bone erosion may occur.

Each of these conditions can be effectively managed and successfully treated by the specialists at Studio Dentistico Nassa, always ready to assist you with innovative treatments for periodontitis, whether in the presence of natural teeth or dental implants.
