clinical examination;
panoramic radiography and teleradiography to look at the teeth, jaw and soft tissues to get a complete picture of the skull and neck;
fingerprints;
photographs of the smile, inside of the mouth and face.
Data collection is used to get clear measurements of the space available, whether the teeth in the mouth have enough space to grow well aligned, whether the bone structures are in harmony, and whether aesthetics can be improved.

Bravi, professionali e con una buona dose di umanità
Bravi, professionali e con una buona dose di umanità ed empatia nel confronto del paziente che lo fa sentire a proprio agio.
Io ero terrorizzata del dentista e mi sono lasciata andare senza curare più i miei denti .
Fin dalla prima visita presso questo centro, il dr. Andriolo mi ha tranquillizzata e messa a mio agio .
E infatti fin dalle prime prestazioni non ho sentito dolore, ne durante ne una volta tornata a casa
Oggi x esempio, ho fatto una cura canalare e un'estrazione di un molare, sono entrata in studio alle 10 00 e uscita alle 13.30. tranquilla e serena come se non fosse successo niente. Siete meravigliosi... grazie 🙏💖🙏
