What are dental implants?
If you are missing or have lost a tooth, this is your solution. THIS ALTERNATIVE IS IDEAL FOR YOU IF… You yearn to chew more efficiently and optimize your quality of life.
Dental implants are the remedy to replace those missing teeth. An implant is basically a titanium pin that is implanted in the jawbone, on which, eventually, crowns or prostheses are mounted that replicate both esthetically and functionally the lost tooth. Titanium is the main choice, accounting for 95% of implants, thanks to its biocompatibility and its ability to fuse, or osseointegrate, with the bone. Although allergies or reactions to titanium are rare, alternatives such as zirconium implants are available, albeit with slightly reduced versatility.
What is Implantarex's implant arsenal?
Prostheses and crowns are used on implants to recreate both the functionality and appearance of the tooth; prostheses are used in cases of multiple consecutive missing teeth, and crowns are used when a single tooth is missing. In addition, multiple factors are taken into account:
Removable prostheses on implants
They are also called mucosa-supported, they allow cleaning by the patient as they can be removed.
Fixed prostheses on implants
Directly coupled to the implants, they are usually made of porcelain, providing an indistinguishable appearance to that of a natural tooth and do not require removal for cleaning.
Dental crowns - 2 types
- Metal-porcelain crown: While its interior is metal, it is coated with porcelain to mimic the natural tooth. - Zirconium crown: Made entirely of zirconium, they offer superior esthetic results due to their translucency, closely resembling natural teeth.
Why choose dental implant prostheses over removable prostheses?
Those who opt for dental implants to restore their lost smile reap a number of benefits, both pragmatic and esthetic. The simple act of restoring all teeth allows for a normalization of actions and gestures when eating, speaking and smiling, thus improving both aesthetics and physical and mental well-being.
Increased comfort
The choice of implant-supported prostheses over removable prostheses results in a marked improvement in overall comfort for the user. These prostheses, by integrating naturally with the bone, eliminate the sensation of discomfort and pressure often associated with conventional removable prostheses. In addition, by avoiding constant friction with the gums, implant-supported prostheses minimize the irritation and discomfort that can arise with prolonged wear, providing a much more comfortable and pleasant experience for the patient.
increased durability
Removable dental prostheses have been recognized for their limited durability compared to implant prostheses. Implant prostheses, due to their solid design and direct attachment to the maxillary or mandibular bone, exhibit exceptional resistance to wear and damage, resulting in a significantly extended lifespan. This enhanced durability not only reduces the need for frequent replacement, but also ensures a long-term investment that is more cost-effective compared to conventional alternatives.
greater stability and fixation
One of the main advantages of choosing implant-supported prostheses over removable prostheses is the marked improvement in stability and fixation. By being firmly anchored to the bone, implant-supported prostheses provide a secure and natural feel to the patient, allowing them to speak, eat and smile with confidence without the constant worry of their prosthesis coming loose or shifting. This improved stability contributes significantly to a higher quality of life and overall confidence, especially for those who wish to lead an active life without limitations.
improved taste appreciation
Implant dentures offer a significant improvement in taste perception compared to removable dentures. Since implant prostheses do not cover the palate and do not interfere with the sensitivity of the mouth, they allow for a more authentic sensory experience, leading to a greater perception of flavors. This not only enhances the culinary experience, but also contributes to greater overall eating satisfaction and a better quality of life for those who opt for this more advanced prosthetic solution.
Stages of dental implant treatment
- Implantology study and treatment planning: In this initial phase, the dentist performs a complete study of the patient’s case, including imaging tests such as X-rays and possibly 3D scans to evaluate the bone structure and determine the viability of the implant. Detailed treatment planning is performed, including determining the number and location of implants needed.
- Implant placement procedure: Once the planning phase is completed, the dental implant placement procedure is performed. During this stage, the oral surgeon or periodontist carefully and precisely implants the titanium into the maxillary or mandibular bone. After this phase, a period of time is required to allow the implant to fully integrate with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
- Placement of the dental prosthesis: Once the implant is fully integrated with the bone, the dental prosthesis is placed. This prosthesis can be a single crown, a bridge or even a complete denture, depending on the specific needs of the patient. The prosthesis is carefully designed to ensure a perfect fit and a natural appearance that integrates harmoniously with the rest of the teeth.
- Postoperative care and follow-up: After the prosthesis is placed, it is crucial that the patient follows the dentist’s instructions to ensure proper healing and recovery. This may include taking painkillers and antibiotics as needed, as well as following a specific diet during the initial healing period. Regular follow-up with the dentist is essential to monitor oral health and the denture adaptation process.
- Post-procedure maintenance and hygiene: Regular maintenance and good oral hygiene are essential to ensure the long-term durability and functionality of dental implants. This involves regular visits to the dentist for professional cleanings, routine check-ups and implant integrity assessments. In addition, a daily oral hygiene routine, including brushing, flossing and rinsing, is recommended to prevent plaque build-up and ensure the long-term health of the implants and the oral cavity in general.
