Treatments Offered at Prisma Dental

Prisma Dental offers a broad range of advanced and routine dental procedures to meet the diverse needs of international patients. All treatments are carried out by experienced specialists with access to cutting-edge technology and materials.

All-On-4 Dental Implants

A life-changing procedure ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. This technique uses four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth, offering stability, function, and a natural look.

All-On-6 Dental Implants

Similar to All-On-4 but utilizing six implants, this method provides added strength and support, especially beneficial for patients with high bite forces or reduced bone density.

Cosmetic Dentistry

From tooth whitening to reshaping, Prisma Dental provides customized aesthetic solutions aimed at improving the appearance of your smile. Treatments are tailored to your unique facial features and personal preferences.

Crowns

Dental crowns are used to restore the shape, strength, and function of damaged teeth. Prisma Dental crafts precision-fitted crowns using advanced digital imaging and in-house lab facilities for faster delivery and superior aesthetics.

Dental Implants

A permanent solution for missing teeth, dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone. Prisma’s implantologists ensure optimal function and natural-looking results through customized planning and placement.

Dentures

Prisma offers both full and partial dentures as a removable solution for tooth loss. Designed for comfort and aesthetics, these dentures restore function while allowing for ease of removal and cleaning.

Endodontics

The clinic provides advanced endodontic procedures such as root canal therapy to treat infections within the tooth pulp, saving teeth that might otherwise require extraction.

Full Mouth Restoration

A comprehensive treatment that combines several dental procedures to restore the entire mouth’s function, structure, and appearance. This includes implants, crowns, bridges, and aesthetic corrections.

Gum Disease Treatment

From scaling and root planing to surgical intervention, Prisma Dental treats all stages of periodontal disease, helping preserve oral health and prevent tooth loss.

Implantology and Oral Surgery

Specialized surgical procedures, including bone grafts, sinus lifts, and complex implant placements, are performed by trained surgeons to ensure precision and patient safety.

Prosthodontics

Prisma’s prosthodontic team offers expert solutions for tooth replacement and restoration, including fixed and removable prostheses designed for long-term durability and aesthetic appeal.

Root Canal Therapy

A vital treatment to eliminate infection and save natural teeth, Prisma’s root canal services are performed with modern instruments for maximum comfort and success.

Smile Makeover

Combining cosmetic and restorative procedures, smile makeovers at Prisma Dental are designed to enhance both appearance and function. Each plan is customized based on the patient’s goals and facial aesthetics.

Teeth Alignment (Clear Aligners)

For patients seeking a discreet alternative to traditional braces, Prisma offers clear aligner systems. These removable aligners gradually straighten teeth while maintaining aesthetic appeal throughout the treatment.
