FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Answers to frequently asked questions about the Komadina clinic: treatments, visits, implantology and services for Italian patients.

For which dental treatments is laser therapy recommended?

Laser therapy in dentistry is used for various procedures, including the treatment of periodontitis, during surgical operations, for sterilizing wounds, teeth whitening, and removing cavities. Laser therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that promotes tissue regeneration, and recovery after such a procedure is very fast.

How long do implants last and how successful is the procedure?

The success rate of dental implants is 98%. An implant procedure is a permanent solution if performed correctly according to professional standards.

Is it possible to complete the implant procedure in one visit?

In many cases, implants can be completed in a single visit. However, the dentist may suggest an alternative and better solution for the patient and propose a different treatment plan, including the number of visits required.

What happens if an implant cannot be placed due to complete or partial lack of jawbone?

In such cases, various surgical procedures are applied to increase the volume of bone.

How long does recovery take after implant placement?

Healing or the process of the implant fusing with the bone takes 6-16 weeks, depending on the type of implant and the bone quality in the patient. Usually, no stitches need to be removed as they are made of resorbable material and dissolve after a week. Recovery time does not cause significant issues or complications as long as the patient follows the dentist's instructions.

Are prosthetic works done at the clinic?

Studio Komadina has its own dental laboratory where prosthetic works are made for patients. Collaboration between the dentist, dental technician, and the patient is very important to meet the highest aesthetic standards and the patient's wishes.

Is it possible to have an orthopantomogram at Studio Komadina?

The studio has its own diagnostic center, and the first consultation includes a free orthopantomogram.

Does the first consultation include free transportation and accommodation?

For patients from Italy, the first trip is free, and we can organize accommodation near the clinic upon request. For more details, please contact our staff.

Can I request a quote before my first visit to the clinic?

For all information regarding quotes, working hours, or potential arrangements, you can contact the staff at Studio Komadina by phone or email. To create an accurate quote (by phone or email), it is necessary to visit the dentist.

I have red and swollen gums, what does this mean?

These are symptoms of gingivitis, the initial stage of gum disease, caused by plaque buildup. Regular and thorough oral hygiene, along with professional cleaning of tartar at the dentist, can improve the condition.

What if my gums bleed when brushing my teeth?

Bleeding gums are a sign of inflammation and can indicate gingivitis or periodontitis. Do not stop brushing your teeth due to bleeding, but continue with proper cleaning and use dental floss. If bleeding persists, visit the dentist.

Why are my gums receding and how can I treat it?

Gum recession can be caused by aggressive brushing, periodontitis, or genetic factors. Solutions include gentler brushing, professional tartar removal, and, in severe cases, surgical methods such as gum tissue grafting.

What should I do if my filling falls out?

If your filling falls out, contact your dentist immediately. In the meantime, avoid eating on that side of your mouth and maintain good oral hygiene. You can temporarily use dental wax purchased from a pharmacy to protect the exposed tooth.

Why do I have a burning sensation in my mouth?

A burning sensation in the mouth can be caused by dry mouth, allergies, hormonal changes, or stress. A visit to the dentist or doctor will help determine the cause and recommend therapy.

How can I treat canker sores and mouth ulcers?

Canker sores are painful lesions that usually heal on their own within a week. You can speed up the process by using antiseptic mouthwashes, avoiding spicy foods, and applying special gels from the pharmacy.

I have bad breath, how can I solve it?

Bad breath can be caused by bacteria on the tongue, cavities, gum inflammation, or digestive issues. Proper oral hygiene, tongue cleaning, and regular dental check-ups can help solve the problem.

Why are my teeth wearing down and becoming shorter?

Tooth wear can be caused by bruxism (teeth grinding), acid erosion, or an improper bite. Wearing a night guard and avoiding acidic drinks can help reduce wear.

I have sensitive teeth, what should I do?

Sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, exposed tooth roots, or cavities. Use toothpaste for sensitive teeth, avoid very cold and hot drinks, and consult with your dentist.

How to treat periodontitis?

Periodontitis is a serious gum disease that can lead to tooth loss. Treatment includes professional deep cleaning of the gum pockets, using antibacterial mouthwashes, and, in severe cases, surgical procedures.

I have a cracked tooth, can it be fixed?

It depends on the severity of the crack. Minor cracks can be fixed with a filling or veneer, while more severe cracks may require a crown or even tooth extraction.

What if my tooth is loose?

A loose tooth can be a sign of advanced periodontitis or trauma. Visit the dentist as soon as possible to try and save the tooth. In some cases, it can be stabilized with a splint.

How can I replace a lost tooth?

Options include dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Implants are the most permanent solution but require good bone quality and more time for placement.

What if my denture breaks?

Do not attempt to repair the denture yourself, as improper repairs may cause further damage. Take it to the dentist or dental technician for professional repair.

How to treat dry mouth (xerostomia)?

Dry mouth can be caused by medications, diabetes, or other conditions. Increase fluid intake, use sugar-free chewing gum, and special moisturizers or gels for the oral cavity.

How can I prevent teeth grinding (bruxism)?

Bruxism may be caused by stress or bite problems. Wearing a night guard and practicing relaxation techniques can help reduce the issue.

I have white spots on my teeth, what causes them?

White spots can be a sign of the early stage of cavities or excessive fluoride exposure during childhood. The dentist may recommend remineralization treatments or aesthetic procedures.

Why are my teeth turning yellow and how can I whiten them?

Teeth can turn yellow due to smoking, consumption of coffee, tea, and red wine, or aging. Professional whitening at the dentist is the most effective way to achieve whiter teeth.
