Studio Odontoiatrico Petricca – I migliori esperti per il tuo sorriso

A healthy smile contributes to your overall well-being

Our dental practice provides a personalized experience, centered on prevention and long-term well-being.

Your first visit gives us the chance to get to know you and to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Proper oral care is fundamental to supporting your general health. Many dental problems, if left untreated, can seriously affect not only your teeth but your overall well-being.

A healthy, radiant smile requires proper and consistent oral hygiene.

ORAL HYGIEN AND PREVENTIVE CARE

Preventive care and good oral hygiene are the foundation for treating oral diseases. In-office professional dental cleanings constitute the optimal preventive strategy, making regular check-ups, at least once or twice per year, highly recommended. Keeping up with regular dental check-ups is essential, since delaying minor problems can result in more difficult corrective procedures. Routine examinations allow us to detect cavities, tartar accumulation, inflammatory conditions, periodontal diseases or TMDs (temporomandibular disorders). Many patients do not maintain correct oral hygiene. During your visit, we will show you the proper technique to keep your smile healthy.

CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY AND ENDODONTICS

Conservative dentistry is a specialized field focused on the diagnosis and therapeutic management of carious lesions and dental trauma.

Cavity treatment requires removing all decayed tissue and restoring the tooth with appropriate filling material that preserves its integrity. Through conservative interventions, you can keep your natural teeth healthy and lower the chance of extraction.

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the treatment of the dental pulp and root system.

DENTAL PROSTHESIS

A prosthesis is an artificial device used to replace and restore the function of a tooth, a group of teeth, or an entire dental arch. Once placed, artificial teeth help maintain an aesthetic smile and restore chewing efficiency. Dental prostheses can be divided into:

Fixed prosthesis:
This involves the permanent reconstruction of part or all of a tooth. Its main purpose is to replace one or more missing teeth in order to restore chewing function and aesthetics. Fixed prostheses include crowns (or caps), inlays, and bridges.

Removable prosthesis:
This option is used when it is not possible to build a fixed prosthesis on the patient’s remaining teeth. If the patient no longer has any natural teeth, a full removable denture is required. Partial removable dentures are secured to the remaining teeth using clasps or attachments.

PERIODONTOLOGY

Periodontology is a branch of dentistry focused on the periodontal tissue, the tissue surrounding and supporting the teeth. The goal is to keep all the tissues surrounding the teeth (bone, gums, periodontal ligament) healthy, to ensure a strong and stable alveolar arch. The periodontal pocket is the sulcus between a tooth and the gum, normally around 2mm deep, but it deepens as a consequence of periodontitis. The undisturbed bacterial proliferation inside the pocket results in further and progressive destruction of the tooth’s supporting tissues.

SURGERY

Dental implant surgery restores missing teeth while preserving the natural integrity of the surrounding healthy teeth. This is due to the fact that, unlike fixed bridges, implants function independently without relying on or involving the neighboring teeth. Dental implants are screw-shaped titanium devices surgically inserted into the bone to act as artificial roots for missing teeth.

TEETH WHITENING

Various methods exist to whiten teeth; however, consulting our specialists is essential to undergo a professional and long-lasting treatment here in our clinic.

Teeth whitening involves the use of a hydrogen peroxide–based bleaching product, activated by an LED lamp which opens the enamel pores and activates the whitening action.

The innovative teeth whitening method we use, developed and selected among the most scientifically proven methods, allows us to achieve excellent aesthetic outcomes. Enjoy a professional whitening treatment in a comfortable environment, where our experts use certified products to leave you with a radiant and long-lasting smile.

INVISIBLE ORTHODONTICS

Clear dental aligners have modernized the correction of dental arches, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. Crafted from resistant, clear materials, they are virtually invisible when worn and gradually move the teeth by exerting light pressure in a series of micro-adjustments. The process is repeated with each aligner set, facilitating continuous and incremental correction of dental alignment. Each set of invisible aligners is custom-made for every patient, guided by a computer-generated treatment plan.

PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

The pediatric dentist not only manages a child’s dental development, but also guides them on proper nutrition and oral hygiene habits. During the first dental visit, the pediatric dentist can diagnose the presence of potential issues such as cavities, enamel defects, crowding, misaligned arches, and craniofacial development abnormalities. Pediatric dental care includes guidance for parents or caregivers on best practices for oral hygiene and nutrition, with the pediatric dentist making sure the child’s first visit is stress-free and comfortable.

What is invisible orthodontics?

Invisible orthodontics is a dental alignment technique that uses clear, removable aligners to correct teeth misalignment.

How does it work?

Clear aligners are custom-made based on the patient’s dental impressions. They are designed to gently apply pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position.
