Those with a beautiful smile have higher self-esteem, have no problem being around others, and feel better.
We perform daily treatments with esthetic purposes to give pleasant harmony to teeth and gums: orthodontic treatments, metal-free prosthetic treatments (i.e., metal-free crowns made entirely of esthetic materials with a zirconium base or with integral ceramics), veneers, and professional chairside whitening.
Professional chairside whitening procedures ensure an improvement in the color shade of the dental elements without altering their structural characteristics, safely and with respect for the patient’s health.
After verifying that the teeth are clean of tartar or other buildup, a whitening gel is placed on the teeth, insulated by special protective gum dam.
A dedicated lamp for teeth whitening is directed on the teeth for 15 minutes (1st cycle): thanks to a specific wavelength, it has the task of provoking the reaction of hydrogen peroxide, which releases oxygen.
The oxygen thus released enters the enamel and dentin, changing the color of the tooth and whitening it by a few shades.
Next, the gel is put back on and a second cycle is performed. Depending on the shade of color required by the patient, the process can be repeated in the same session up to 3 or 4 times.
Throughout the session, the patient’s eyes are protected by special goggles that should not be removed during the entire procedure.

Lip filler treatment is a nonsurgical aesthetic procedure with the aim of improving the appearance of the lips by increasing volume, definition, and symmetry. Here is a detailed explanation of the process:
1. What is Lip Filler?
Lip fillers are injectable substances, usually hyaluronic acid-based, that are used to add volume and shape the lips. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains water, helping to hydrate and volumize tissue.
2. Treatment Benefits.
Increased Volume: The filler can make lips fuller and plumper.
Improved Definition: It improves the contours and shape of the lips.
Asymmetry Correction: Helps balance out any irregularities in the lips.
Wrinkle Reduction: Can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
3. Treatment Procedure
Preliminary Consultation: Together with the patient, the aesthetic dentist discusses the desired results, assessing general health and verifying suitability for treatment. Once suitable for treatment, photos are taken at different angles to record the progress of the procedure.
Preparation: An anesthetic cream or local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort during the injection.
Filler Injection: Using very fine needles, the doctor injects filler into specific places on the lips to achieve the desired effect. The procedure generally takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Shaping: After injection, the doctor may gently massage the lips to evenly distribute the filler and achieve a natural result.
Post-Treatment: Instructions are provided for lip care, such as avoiding makeup and heat exposure for the first 24 hours.
4. Recovery and Results
Immediate Effects: Results are visible immediately, although there may be slight swelling or bruising that disappears within a few days.
Duration: Results generally last 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and the patient’s individual characteristics.
Maintenance: To maintain the results, periodic treatments are necessary.
5. Risks and Considerations
Like any cosmetic procedure, lip filler carries some risks and potential side effects:
Allergic Reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions to filler components can occur.
Swelling and Bruising: Commonly there is mild post-treatment swelling and bruising.
Asymmetry: Slight asymmetry may occur that can be corrected with additional injections.
Infection: Reduced but present risk, which can be minimized by following the physician’s post-treatment instructions.
Conclusion
Lip filler treatment is an effective and safe way to improve
the appearance of the lips. It is important to choose an aesthetic
qualified dentist and discuss your expectations and the
potential risks before proceeding with treatment. With the right
precautions and post-treatment care, lip fillers can offer results that are
satisfactory and natural-looking.
