Revise. Renew. Regenerate.
Any type of dental work – restorations, fillings, crowns, implants – is planned and executed with long-term durability in mind. However, the materials used are not designed to last indefinitely, which means that, over time, they can fail, degrade or leak, potentially releasing harmful toxins into the surrounding tissues and bone. Since teeth are directly connected to the bone, this creates a clear pathway for these substances to enter the bloodstream, impacting not just the oral cavity but various systems throughout the body.
At the White Clinic, we’ve been connecting the dots between the impact of oral health on overall health for over two decades, and the potential systemic impact of poor quality or outdated dentistry is another crucial link when it comes to full-body wellness.
In the case of failing dental work, it can cause low-grade, chronic inflammation – a condition with deep and real consequences for the body, including but not limited to a compromised immune system, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer. An increasing number of patients are also exhibiting signs of metal hypersensitivities and intolerance due to residual metal alloys in old crowns and bridges.
The truth is that past dental work may no longer be serving a patient’s best interests and they may actually be triggering a myriad of health issues that go beyond the mouth. Revision Dentistry is a standardised approach to revisiting and updating previous dental treatments – it involves regularly assessing and, when necessary, updating or replacing old or poorly executed dental work to ensure optimal oral and systemic health.
At our dental clinic in Lisbon, a Revision Dentistry consultation means taking a step back in order to take various healthy steps forward.
We start with a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s oral health status, medical history, and current symptoms.
The patient undergoes a complete clinical examination, supported by advanced technology in order to assess tooth decay, gum disease, abscesses, cavitations, infection and inflammation.
Our Biological Dentistry approach to oral healthcare goes beyond the mouth, contemplating systemic health as well. This means our team will also run the necessary blood work and other cutting-edge tests, so as to ensure precise diagnostics.
With the patient’s informed consent, their personalised Revision Dentistry protocol is performed in order to remove or correct the previous treatment using the latest biocompatible techniques and materials.
Our integrative approach to overall healthcare means employing regenerative and immune boosting therapies to speed up and enhance complete recovery of the mouth and body.
Led by one of the most renowned dentists in the world, Dr. Miguel Stanley, the White Clinic team is integrative and versatile, combining various dental specialities – biological dentistry, advanced diagnostics, immune dentistry, periodontology, oral detox, cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery and rehabilitation – with world-class training, solid experience and outstanding patient care.
