Common situations
Unexpected dental problems during a stay in Cagliari
The scope is deliberately narrow: dental problems that arise while travelling or staying in Cagliari. Planned cosmetic work, aligner treatment and elective implant treatment are outside the purpose of this site.
02
Broken tooth
A tooth chipped or fractured while eating, after a fall or after an impact.
03
Lost filling
An old filling has fallen out, broken or left a sharp or sensitive area.
04
Crown or bridge problem
A crown feels loose, has come off, or an existing bridge is causing a problem.
05
Swelling
Swelling of the gum or face, a painful lump or symptoms that may indicate infection.
06
Dental trauma
A fall or accident has moved, damaged or knocked out a tooth.

Pain, swelling or difficulty around a wisdom tooth while you are travelling.
08
Existing dental work
A problem involving a denture, implant crown, orthodontic appliance or previous treatment.
On-site digital diagnostics
When you only have a few days in Cagliari, avoiding another stop matters.
The practice has digital imaging, intraoral scanning, digital planning and 3D-printing technology on site. When these tools are clinically useful, diagnostic information can be acquired and reviewed in the same practice rather than automatically sending you to a separate imaging or scanning centre.
Why this matters when travelling
More information can be gathered in one place.
If a dental problem appears during a short stay, the time available is part of the practical problem. Having diagnostic and digital tools in the practice can make the assessment more direct when those tools are indicated.
Technology does not mean that every dental problem can be completed in one appointment. The dentist first decides which examinations are actually necessary and whether follow-up care will be needed after you leave Cagliari.
Planmeca 3D imaging
Three-dimensional dental imaging is available in the practice when a detailed view of teeth, bone or surrounding structures is clinically indicated.
3D diagnostic imaging
Digital dental radiology
Digital panoramic and intraoral X-ray examinations can support the assessment of tooth pain, trauma, existing dental work and other problems when an X-ray is necessary.
Panoramic & intraoral imaging
iTero and 3Shape intraoral scanners
Digital scanning can create a three-dimensional record of the teeth and mouth without relying only on conventional impressions in cases where scanning is useful.
Digital intraoral scanning
3D printing in the practice
On-site 3D printing supports selected digital workflows and allows digitally planned components or models to be produced within the practice when appropriate.
In-practice digital production
Digital planning and guided surgery
Digital planning and surgical-guide workflows are available for cases in which this type of planning is clinically relevant.

What is useful to tell the practice
When time in the city is limited, practical information matters. A short message can include the symptom, when it started, any recent dental treatment and when you are due to leave Cagliari.
Step 1
Describe the symptom
Say where it hurts, whether there is swelling or trauma, and when the problem began.
Step 2
Say how long you are in Cagliari
If your departure date is close, include it. This helps the practice understand the practical time window.
Step 3
Bring useful information
If available, bring recent X-rays, details of previous dental work, medicines you take and relevant allergy information.
Step 4
Plan what happens next
Depending on the problem, care may be completed locally or may need to continue with your regular dentist after your trip.
