Dental implants

Smile again, with affordable dental implants of the highest quality.

Dental implants are a state-of-the-art solution for replacing missing teeth. They are surgically placed artificial tooth roots that provide a solid foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are a permanent solution that look, feel and function like natural teeth. 

Dental implants are sophisticated tooth replacement solutions that provide a stable and permanent base for artificial teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically implanted into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root, and a crown attached to it. This innovative method offers numerous advantages, such as improved esthetics, improved oral function and increased confidence in your smile.

Ideal candidates for dental implants usually have good oral health, sufficient jawbone density and healthy gingival tissues. However, eligibility can vary, so it is essential to consult with your dentist to determine if dental implants are the right option for your specific dental needs and circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a titanium screw that performs the function of an artificial tooth root. It is placed in the maxillary bone or jawbone.

What are the advantages of an implant?

Dental implants replace lost or damaged teeth, so you fully recover the aesthetics and functionality of your mouth, as well as your self-esteem and the desire to relate to others.

Can anyone have an implant?

You may be able to hear the dentist working in your mouth during a traditional extraction and may even hear the tooth being pulled. If you are sensitive to sound, you can wear headphones and listen to music to help drown out some of the noise. If you have had a surgical extraction, you will not hear any of the procedure as you will be sedated.

Are dental implants very expensive?

Recovering a lost tooth is priceless. Investing in our smile is the best decision. The price is adapted according to each case and procedure. Keep in mind that this is a solution that can be for life, so it is much cheaper than traditional procedures, which require more visits and where sometimes the result is less durable.

How long does the dental implant placement process take?

It is a simple process that is carried out in the dentist's office. The intervention itself is performed in a single day. In the same session the implant and the provisional tooth are placed. In a few months the restoration is done and the definitive crown is placed.

Is the process of placing a dental implant uncomfortable or does it hurt a lot?

No. The discomfort associated with the procedure is minimal. Local anesthesia is applied during the intervention, so that the patient does not feel any pain.

What care do the implants require and will I be able to lead a normal life?

Implants require very basic care, which is essentially the same as that required for teeth: proper oral hygiene, such as proper brushing, flossing and interproximal brushes. If we also avoid tobacco and other harmful substances such as alcohol, we will improve the long-term prognosis of the treatment. A regular check-up for cleaning will increase the chances of enjoying your implants with satisfaction for years to come. Otherwise, you can lead a perfectly normal life.

What happens if I smoke?

It is highly recommended that you avoid smoking, as it can have a very negative effect even if there is no other risk factor. It can impair healing, reduce blood supply, reduce defenses against bacteria or affect the health of the implant in the long term. The latter is widely evidenced by studies that indicate more possibilities of having infections in the implants when one is a smoker.
