Dental implants are, in most cases, the best option for replacing missing teeth. At Implantarex, we use the most advanced surgical techniques in dental implantology in Barcelona to guarantee optimal results.
Recover your smile in just 72 hours. Thanks to our immediate load implants you will not have to wait months to place the dental prosthesis.
Short implants are available for cases in which the patient has little bone surface and a sinus lift is not desired.
Get the most comfortable treatment thanks to conscious sedation. The patient will be awake and at the same time relaxed and with a feeling of well-being.
There are numerous types of implants, which means that they can be adapted to any type of case/patient.
Dental implants are a solution to replace lost teeth. An implant is a titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone, on which crowns or prostheses are then placed to replace the lost tooth in appearance and functionality.
95% of the implants are made of titanium because it is a biocompatible material that allows osseointegration, that is, fusion with the bone. Although there are no known reports of patients who have suffered an allergy or reaction to titanium, some people with allergies to other metals are reluctant to use titanium in their implants. As an alternative, there are zirconium implants that are not as versatile as titanium implants because they are made in one piece instead of two pieces like titanium implants.
Titanium dental implants:
The titanium implant is the material par excellence in this type of dental procedures. This is because it has a very high percentage of success and effectiveness, that is to say, it has a higher adhesion and durability in the long term than zirconium.
Zirconium dental implants:
Zirconium is a synthetic material that can be used just like titanium, but does not have the same effectiveness. It can be used when the patient expressly requests it because he/she is allergic to the other material or for any other reason. If this is not the case, titanium will always be used.
The implants consist of several distinct parts :
In our dental clinic in Barcelona we are specialists in 3D digital guided surgery.
This technique allows us to place dental implants in the exact position where we want them, which helps to increase the safety of treatment and reduce patient morbidity. That is, thanks to this modern technology, we reduce to a minimum the discomfort that the patient may feel when placing dental implants.
In most cases, this technique of dental implantology allows us to perform interventions with almost no cuts in the gum. In general, we do not even have to stitch the gums. All these benefits translate into a very comfortable and painless postoperative period for the patient. Especially in comparison with classic treatments, in which it is common to spend several days with pain and discomfort that make it difficult to resume the routine.
Practically everyone who has lost one or more teeth is a candidate for dental implants.
There are very few situations in which implants are not indicated. Even when the bone is insufficient, there are bone regeneration techniques that allow a correct osseointegration of the implant with guarantees.
In order to have the maximum guarantee that our implant will be correctly placed, the professional must carry out a good study to evaluate parameters such as bone quantity and quality, as well as the state of the adjacent pieces, with the subsequent placement of the dental crown in mind. These studies are mainly radiological. A scan to see the state of the bone that will house the implant will undoubtedly give us peace of mind at the time of surgery, since we will always know what to expect at
.
On other occasions, however, other types of diagnostic tests may be requested, apart from radiological ones, such as “study models”, where our prosthetic laboratory, following the instructions of the implantologist and/or prosthodontist, would simulate on a plaster model what the final result of the work to be carried out would be like.
Therefore, and as we indicated at the beginning, the candidates to receive this type of implants are the great majority, but always accompanied by an exhaustive study.
A little known fact about tooth loss is that once a tooth is gone, the jaw bone beneath it begins to deteriorate. This is because the teeth and jaws form an important reciprocal system. Just as the teeth depend on the jawbone for support, the jawbone needs the teeth to remain strong and healthy. Dental implants not only prevent the jaw from deteriorating, they actually stimulate bone growth.
In addition to the jaw, our teeth also support each other. As soon as we lose a tooth, the ones around it will begin to drift. This, combined with the deterioration of the jaw, makes it much more likely that they will fall out as well. If we lose a tooth, it makes sense to replace it with a dental implant as soon as possible to avoid future complications.
What is guided implant surgery? Guided surgery is an implantology technique that plans the whole procedure on a computer before touching the patient’s mouth. Starting from a 3D scan (CT or CBCT) and a digital scan of the mouth, the implantologist studies the available bone and decides the exact position, angle and depth of each
Dental implants can be placed once bone growth is complete, which usually happens around the end of adolescence, and there is no upper age limit: older people are excellent candidates as long as they enjoy good general health, enough bone and healthy gums. More than age, what matters is your overall and oral health. The
The crown on an implant is the visible part that imitates the tooth, fitted once the implant has integrated. The most common types are zirconia (a white, metal-free, highly aesthetic ceramic) and metal-ceramic (very strong, with a long track record). Zirconia is usually preferred in the visible area for its aesthetics, while metal-ceramic is a
A dental implant is a fixed solution that replaces the tooth root, preserves the bone and feels like a natural tooth. A removable denture is cheaper and quicker, but less comfortable: it does not stop bone loss and has to be taken out for cleaning. For most people looking for long-term comfort and stability, the
There are several types of dental implants depending on the material (the vast majority are titanium, which is highly biocompatible, though zirconia versions also exist), on the number of teeth to replace (a single tooth, several, or a full arch) and on the timing of placement. The right type for you depends on the area,
An immediate dental implant is placed at the very moment the tooth is extracted, taking advantage of the freshly created socket. When conditions allow it, this avoids a second surgery, shortens the timeline and helps preserve the bone and gum better. Not every case is a candidate: it depends on the state of the bone,
Our commitment is to offer the patient a personalized and quality care with the necessary means in modern facilities, adapting to the needs that are demanded in each case, with a forward-looking approach and a goal of continuous improvement.
