Get to Know Dr. Eugenio Aquino
Dr. Aquino is always thinking ahead about the next continuing education course to take or the next piece of technology he’s going to train on. He’s all about progress and making things better for his patients, which you’ll certainly appreciate when you decide to partner with him!
"Healthy and properly aligned teeth are crucial for chewing efficiency and esthetics. These results can be obtained orthodontically or prosthetically using the latest advanced technology.
As a maxillofacial prosthodontist in Naples, I am able to offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment to the most complex cases with predictable and long-lasting results to restore a patient’s biomechanics and esthetics. My clinical focus includes patients with trauma, congenital defects, edentulous patients, failing dentition, worn dentition, loss of esthetics, cancer (before/during/after chemotherapy, radiation therapy, stem cell transplants, bone-targeted therapy, and immunotherapy), microvascular fibula free flap with fixed or removable resection prosthesis, and maxillofacial prostheses (ear, eye, nose, obturators, palatal augmented prostheses, etc.). In order to obtain an ideal treatment for these types of patients, working with a multi-disciplinary team of different specialties is crucial.
I pay careful attention to my patients for optimal results. After patients are finalized with treatment, it is rewarding to see them with a beautiful new smile with great esthetics and biomechanics.
I love my profession. I treat each patient as my family and changing one smile at a time is my greatest joy.”
