DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental implants are a modern alternative offered by dentists to replace lost teeth in a safe (biocompatible) and durable way. An implant is a titanium screw surgically inserted into the jawbone, under the gum, onto which crowns or prostheses are then placed to replace the lost tooth, both aesthetically and functionally.

Dental implants improve your quality of life as it is fixed, comfortable and quick to adapt.

By integrating into the jawbone, the implant provides excellent support for the future dental prosthesis. At our Global Dent dental clinic, a comprehensive diagnostic protocol is carried out to determine whether your gums and bone tissue are suitable for this modern rehabilitation technique. If this is not the case, preliminary treatments may be offered to improve the condition of your jaws and gums, thus allowing the integration of implants into your oral rehabilitation.

Types of dental prostheses on implants:

Removable prostheses on implants (supported by the mucosa). They are placed by the dentist and can be removed by the patient for cleaning. They are generally recommended for people who are completely edentulous.

Fixed prostheses on implants. They are placed directly on the implants and are often made of porcelain, which gives them the appearance of natural teeth. They do not need to be removed for cleaning and do not move when chewing. This type of solution is offered in dental clinics to ensure comfort and stability.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

Dental implants offer several benefits:

Restoration of full oral function: correct and effective chewing, allowing you to enjoy your meals to the fullest.
Improved digestion: thanks to optimal chewing, the dentist at the dental clinic ensures that your food is properly ground down.
Optimization of phonetic function: implants allow for better articulation and pronunciation of words.
Aesthetic improvement and restoration of your smile: the dentist helps restore the natural appearance of your teeth, also boosting the patient's self-esteem and confidence.

Advantages over removable dentures:

Greater comfort: implants fitted in a dental clinic are unlikely to move or fall out during use.
Increased durability: with proper care and regular checkups at the dentist, implants can last for many years.

Stages of dental implant treatment
The treatment takes place in several stages:

Implant study. This is a personalized assessment carried out at the dental clinic, during which various aspects are analyzed, such as the quantity and quality of the bone. X-rays or 3D scans may be necessary in order to plan the position of the implant.

Placement of dental implants. A surgical procedure performed by the dentist, including anesthesia, preparation of the implant site, and placement of the implant, followed by stitches if necessary.

Integration of the implant. After the procedure, it generally takes 2 to 6 months for the titanium implant to fuse with the bone.
Placement of the dental prosthesis. Once the implant has integrated, the new teeth are manufactured and adjusted in the dental clinic to ensure aesthetics and function. The prostheses are then cemented or screwed onto the implant.

Recommendation of a bite splint. The dentist may recommend a splint to protect the implants and prostheses, as they do not have periodontal ligaments and may be subject to excessive stress.

Maintenance and hygiene. Once the implants are in place, it is essential to maintain daily oral hygiene. Regular visits to the dental clinic are necessary to ensure the stability of the implants and crowns or prostheses.
