The truths almost no clinic will tell you, we tell you — and we back them with science. Everyone competes on price. We compete on quality and transparency.

The truths almost no clinic will tell you, we tell you. Everyone competes on price. We compete on quality and transparency — and we back every claim with science.
01
Your body has a say too. Smoking nearly doubles the risk of implant failure. That’s why we assess your case thoroughly and back our work with a 2-year guarantee.

02
Immediate loading requires proven primary stability — an insertion torque of at least 35 N·cm — and that depends on your bone quality, not on a sales promise.

We use high-strength lithium disilicate (360–500 MPa), by name. Bonded to enamel, veneers survive at about 99%. If they won’t tell you what your veneer is made of, something’s being hidden.

Preparing while respecting the finish line and the biologic width (~2 mm) prevents gum recession and future problems. Beware poorly done “no-prep” work: it harms too.

Perfection depends on your biology. We commit to the best possible outcome for your situation — clinically, prosthetically and esthetically sound — with the truth up front.

Yes. Every implant carries a failure rate, and it’s not always the dentist’s fault — your body has a say too. Smoking nearly doubles the risk (Chrcanovic et al., J Dent 2015). That’s why we assess your case thoroughly and back our prosthetic work with a 2-year guarantee.
Sometimes, but not always. Immediate loading (same-day fixed teeth) requires proven primary stability — an insertion torque of at least 35 N·cm — which depends on your bone quality. Promising it before evaluating you is a risk, not a virtue (ITI guideline; Darriba, J Clin Periodontol 2023).
We use high-strength lithium disilicate (360–500 MPa, such as Ivoclar IPS e.max) or zirconia depending on the case. Bonded to enamel, ceramic veneers survive at about 99% (Morimoto systematic review, 2021). If a clinic won’t tell you what your veneer is made of, something is being hidden.
As little as possible — typically 0.3–0.5 mm. Reduction must respect the finish line and the biologic width (~2 mm; Gargiulo 1961) to avoid invading the gum and causing recession later. Beware poorly done “no-prep” work too: it can leave bulky teeth or damage the gum.
Because the final result depends on your biology (bone quality, gums, habits). We commit to the best possible outcome for your situation — clinically, prosthetically and esthetically sound — with the truth up front and a 2-year guarantee on our work.
Tell us about your case. We give you a clear diagnosis, transparent pricing and the truth about what does and doesn’t apply to you.
