Cris Piessens Clinic: Cosmetic dentistry in Portugal

The Cris Piessens Clinic in Albufeira in the Algarve, Portugal provides affordable dentistry with a human approach in a modern and relaxing environment. With a highly qualified team of professionals, and more than 15 years experience, the clinic offers guaranteed top-class work for far less than you would spend in the UK.

Specialists in dental implants, the Cris Piessens Clinic covers a wide range of cosmetic dentistry procedures - implants, orthodontics, oral hygiene and tooth whitening.

Implantology

Implants now represent a safe and reliable method for replacing teeth, whether you have lost one, several or all of your teeth. Your new teeth look and feel just like natural teeth and allow you to live, laugh and enjoy life with full confidence.

What is a dental implant?

 

A dental implant is made of titanium and shaped like a screw. The implant is placed into the jawbone and serves as a secure root for the new tooth. Once in place, the implant can be used to attach different types of dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges or dentures. When in place, the denture is firmly attached to the implants and there is no risk of it coming loose. Your exact treatment depends on your individual situation and personal preference. The type and amount of bone, as well as functional conditions will all play a role in the best treatment option for you.

If time is of the essence, then the clinic also offers the Nobel Biocare "Teeth in One Hour" process. This is a concept where, through computer simulation, the implants are first placed virtually, then a sophisticated software transforms the computer work of the dental surgeon into a 3D surgical guide and also creates your new teeth. All this permits the surgeon to install your dental implants and new, functioning fixed teeth in just one morning.

Dr Cris Piessens placed his first implant in 1986, which incidentally is still there today. During those early days of dental implantology, Dr Piessens was able to develop his skills with some of the leading experts in the field at the time. Now an expert in his own right, he lectures and organises specialist courses in the Cris Piessens Clinic. Over the years he has placed well over a thousand implants with a statistical success-rate as high as 96%.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specialises in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The technical term for these problems is "malocclusion", which means "bad bite". The practice of orthodontics requires professional skill in the design, application and control of corrective appliances, such as braces, to bring teeth, lips and jaws into proper alignment and to achieve facial balance.

Oral Hygiene

The hygienists at Cris Piessens Clinic will explain what types of oral care products will be most effective for you: fluoride toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, interdental cleaners, oral irrigators, mouth rinses and other oral hygiene products. Instead of scaling with sharp "hooks and knives", they will remove all debris and plaque with gentle, soft vibrating ultrasonic de-scalers and polish away stains using a powder jet with micro pearls of salt, leaving the tooth surface smooth and clean.

Tooth whitening

A Smartbleach® laser bleaching can provide you with a "Hollywood" smile in around one hour. Laser bleach is the newest and safest technique for tooth whitening.
