Dental prosthesis price

We often receive messages from people wanting to know the price of dentures, especially fixed dentures on dental implants. We would like to answer this question quickly, but we try to explain that these questions can only be answered in person after a dental consultation.

Let’s go. It’s important to note that dental prosthesis prices can vary depending on the type of prosthesis, the complexity of the case and the materials used. In addition, the placement of a fixed prosthesis on dental implants also requires a careful assessment of the patient. It is therefore necessary to make an appointment for a dental consultation so that a professional can analyze your specific case and provide an accurate quote. Remember that oral health is fundamental and investing in a suitable prosthesis can benefit your quality of life.

Dental prosthesis price

Price and value of dentures

Firstly, it is necessary to have a consultation with the dentist, either in the office or via TeleOdontology. Secondly, dental treatment can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient.

There are many variables that influence the planning of a treatment. In the same way, there are several options for materials and techniques that impact on the composition of a budget. What’s more, a treatment that may be suitable for one person may not be the most appropriate for another.

Thirdly, it is primarily important that the person is assessed by a specialist dentist. Often the patient thinks they have a dental problem and believes that a particular treatment may be the solution, but in the professional view the most appropriate treatment may be something else.

The dental surgeon is qualified and trained to look at oral health in general. They also provide guidance and recommend the necessary procedures to keep teeth beautiful and healthy throughout life.

We at ImplArt believe that dental treatment goes far beyond a simple monetary value

There are important factors that influence acost-benefit ratio, such as the health and well-being that healthy teeth provide. In addition, there are other immeasurable aspects: the improvement in self-esteem, the patient’s comfort from the beginning to the end of treatment, the relationship of trust between patient and dentist, the professional’s empathy with the patient’s feelings…

Patients often bring with them anxieties, expectations, fear of the dentist, as well as trauma from previous negative experiences. So how much do you think a smile is worth?

Common questions about Prosthodontics price:

Is there a charge for the first consultation?

Yes, there is a charge for the first consultation. The patient will be assessed by the clinic’s director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, who has extensive experience in treatments for functional and aesthetic oral rehabilitation, with dental implants as well as dental prostheses.

If necessary, the patient will have to undergo some radiological examinations to help with the diagnosis and treatment planning. For your convenience, some of the main radiological examinations can be carried out within the clinic (at a separate cost).

If you already have previous exams, bring all the recent ones (up to 1 year old) to your appointment, as they will be of great help.

My dentist doesn’t charge, why do you?

We follow the rules of the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, which specifies that dental services cannot be free, in the same way as medical consultations. The culture in dentistry is changing and the number of dentists who charge for consultations is growing.

The dental surgeon who will be attending you has studied at university and takes frequent postgraduate courses. Their time is valuable, just as it is in other health professions.

Does ImplArt cover any dental plans?

At the moment we don’t accept dental insurance or any type of plan. Most dental plans don’t offer cover for dental prostheses, implants or aesthetic procedures, which are precisely the focus of our clinic. However, we do accept plans for the reimbursement system or free choice.

There are companies that offer their employees this system, in which they later receive the amounts paid. There is some bureaucracy involved, but we can help. If you have any questions, please contact us through one of the channels below or make an appointment!

Immediate loading – Indications and planning

The topic of implants with immediate loading has always been very present when it comes to dental implants. The term is related to pressure, i.e. loading on the newly installed implant, therefore immediately after surgery. It is important to note that the decision on whether or not to perform immediate loading on the implant should be made by the implant dentist. Assuming that this is the main desire of all patients, it is the implant dentist who must certainly assess the conditions conducive to the use of this technique.

Currently, implant surgery is studied beforehand by the implant dentist (dental implant specialist) through the patient’s panoramic X-ray and CT scan. It is therefore possible to assess whether the patient has favorable bone conditions for the use of this technique. However, it is at the time of implant surgery, by locking the implant, that it is possible to guarantee that the immediate loading technique can be carried out. In this way, the professional can also change the technique used to make the prosthesis if the necessary implants are not locked during surgery. Although the bone structure is studied beforehand through examinations, it is only during surgery that the real bone situation can be gauged.

How is immediate loading surgery with dental implants performed?

Surgery is performed to install dental implants in the jawbone. The surgery should take place like a conventional dental implant surgery. Prior to the surgery, plans are made for an immediate temporary prosthesis, so that the patient will never be without teeth. There are prerequisites for using the installed implant:

  • Sufficient torque (greater than 35 N.cm)
  • Long implant (longer than 11 mm)
  • Implant with sufficient diameter: Larger than 3.75 mm
  • Planning a prosthesis compatible with the implant‘s ability to withstand forces
  • Sufficient number of implants
  • Good distribution of implants in the arch
  • Patient without bruxism symptoms
  • People without symptoms of diseases that compromise tissue and bone healing (e.g. diabetes)
  • Non-smoking patient (smoking greatly reduces the chance of implant success)
immediately loaded implant
Immediate loading means that the implant will be loaded with the crown as soon as it is inserted. In practice, loading occurs with the placement of the tooth, which will transmit the force of chewing through the implant to the bone.

This means that not all cases are good for immediate loading. Sometimes, only during implant installation will we be able to tell if the implant has met the requirements for immediate loading. Therefore, in some cases immediate loading can be aborted to allow the implant to heal in a conventional way (between 3 and 6 months).

If the surgery goes well, you can then start on the provisional or even definitive prosthesis, which requires molds and measurements of the arch. Immediate loading is usually carried out with a temporary prosthesis and, after the implants and gums have healed (between 3 and 6 months), the definitive prosthesis is made.
Watch the video below where we show the total implant surgery and the installation of the protocol prosthesis.

YouTube video player

Although it is possible to carry out the treatment with the definitive material initially, we consider it better to make a temporary prosthesis, as the gums must swell and the bone changes shape during the initial three months of healing after surgery.

Best material for fixed prostheses

Currently, the most modern material for fixed prostheses is zirconia. Zirconia is a biocompatible material in line with the biological dentistry trend, which seeks to avoid the use of metals in dental treatments. It is also highly resistant and can be designed using computer graphics, which gives a much more natural aesthetic result compared to other types of dental prosthesis materials.

Dental Implants for Dentures – Acrylic Bridge

The Branemark prosthesis is a technique developed in 1969 by the Swedish doctor Bränemark with the aim of oral rehabilitation (Dental Implants for Dentures) with dental implants for people who have lost their teeth. It is currently indicated for people who lost their teeth many years ago and therefore have little bone volume (advanced bone resorption).

In these people, mobile prostheses, dentures (normal, partial and dentures) often become loose and cause discomfort and insecurity. In this way, a fixed prosthesis on implants certainly brings much more peace of mind and comfort to the wearer. Treatment with the Bränemark protocol consists of two stages: surgery with implants and prosthetics at intervals of four to six months for the mandible and maxilla. This interval is necessary for the correct healing of the dental implants.

The material used for protocol prostheses can be resin, and its technical name is metal-plastic. In this case, the prostheses can come in two versions: Resin with national teeth or Resin with imported teeth. In this second option, we can consider teeth with more natural aspects, and more resistant to wear and acquiring stains from food. However, the most modern materials today are zirconia protocols and porcelain protocols on total implants.

Why should I have Dental Implants for Dentures?

The Dental Implants for Dentures is a modern option for patients who have lost all their teeth. It is anchored by screws to several implants, providing greater stability and chewing efficiency. In addition, treatment brings with it a number of benefits. Here are several of them, which you can consider if you’re thinking of having a protocol prosthesis:

  • Chewing efficiency: Because it is screwed onto several implants, the Dental Implants for Dentures prosthesis offers greater stability and chewing efficiency than other solutions such as removable prostheses. The prosthesis does not fall out and can only be removed by the implant dentist in the clinic.
  • Easy adaptation: The Dental Implants for Dentures prosthesis is known for its easy adaptation and general use.
  • Durability: The resin acrylic prosthesis is durable and will restore your bite for several years. However, it may be necessary to replace the prosthesis in the future if the materials wear out.
  • Aesthetic results: A branemark bridge prosthesis can provide a natural aesthetic result, giving patients back their self-esteem and confidence to smile.
  • Freedom: Prostheses give patients more freedom and also improve their self-esteem.
  • Less pain and frequent bruising of the gums: Protocol-type dentures can reduce the occurrence of frequent pain and cuts in the gums. This is because the prosthesis does not rest against the gums and is not mobile, so it does not cause sores.
  • Ease of cleaning: Full arch acrylic implants are easy to clean. There are appropriate instruments for cleaning your fixed teeth. The full resin implant prosthesis has a smoother texture and accumulates less plaque than ordinary removable prostheses and dentures.
  • Cost: Resin bridges usually require a lower investment than the second option, porcelain, or even zirconia. In addition, maintenance, when necessary, is not expensive.

What’s the difference with plain ceramic (metal) or zirconia metal-ceramic prostheses?

Metal-ceramic prostheses, known as porcelain, differ from metal-plastic prostheses, known as resin or acrylic prostheses, in terms of their resistance and aesthetic results. Porcelain surpasses resin because it offers long-term patient comfort, since it is much more resistant to wear and tear and remains the same over the years as the day it was installed, in terms of color and tooth shape. Translucent Zirconia, on the other hand, allows computerized methodologies to be used to plan and execute full-arch prostheses. In addition, its resistance and aesthetic results are superior to any other, making it the most modern material option available in dentistry today.

Metal-ceramic prostheses: the internal structure is made of titanium alloy while the aesthetic coating is made of dental porcelain. Despite what it may seem, these materials are very light and resistant.

Zirconia is the most modern technology for making fixed prostheses on implants. For full-arch dental implants we have Translucent Zirconia and Zirconia with porcelain applied.

See below for examples of our Branemark Acrylic Prosthesis clinical cases. We have our own in-house dental laboratory capable of carrying out the treatment more quickly, safely and with the highest quality.

At the ImplArt clinic we have already carried out thousands of treatments with full-arch dental implants. Come and see our work!

Dental Implants for Dentures prosthesis and total implant with immediate loading

Nowadays, with the advances made in dentistry, in some cases it is possible to implant in 72 hours using immediate loading. First, four, five or six implants are installed, distributed over the entire arch. They are then left to rest (heal) for four months. After this period, the acrylic prosthesis is fixed onto the implants. For this treatment with immediate loading, there is a need for clinical indication, so that the success of the treatment is not compromised.

Do Dental Implants for Dentures last forever?

The longevity of a fixed bridges for dental implant can be influenced by several factors, including the patient’s oral hygiene and the type of prosthesis used.

The implant pin/screw, which is made of titanium and acts as the root of the tooth, has the potential to last a lifetime. This is due to its ability to integrate with the jaw bone, a process known as osseointegration.

However, the dental prosthesis, which is the artificial tooth placed over the implant, may need to be replaced over time, as they wear down with use and chewing, in the same way as natural teeth. Dental prostheses are generally made of acrylic, zirconia or porcelain, and their durability can vary. For example, a resin prosthesis can last up to 10 years, while a porcelain or zirconia fixed prosthesis (all on 4) can last up to 20 years.

It is important to note that the longevity of the dental implant can also be affected by the patient’s general oral health. Good oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist for check-ups and maintenance are essential to maintain the health of the implant and prosthesis.

Conclusion

The Dental Implants for Dentures is made from a metal bar to which the resin teeth are fixed. With the Bränemark protocol, patients who have previously been ashamed of their smile due to dental problems and whose self-esteem has been affected can smile normally again, since their phonetic ability, chewing and swallowing improve and provide a better quality of life.

Rapid immediate loading of dental implants

Immediate loading of dental implants

Rapid (immediate) loading is possible thanks to scientific advances. Today it is possible, in selected cases, to enter the office without teeth and leave at the end of the day with all the teeth fixed on dental implants with immediate loading. This technology gives patients great satisfaction due to the rapid results.

Immediate rapid loading can be planned for individual dental implants, or even total dental implants, the so-called protocol prosthesis. Its feasibility should be assessed in consultation with the implant dentist.

When to load implants quickly:

Implants with this rapid loading technique can be used in the following cases:

  • For total implants (replacement of dentures with all teeth fixed)
  • Several teeth (usually teeth or tooth roots with periodontal disease, badly decayed teeth as well as old dentures)
  • For a single tooth (mainly in the anterior region)
  • Fixed prosthesis of some teeth (in selected cases)

The rapid loading technique can be indicated for a single tooth or for all teeth.

Indications for immediate rapid loading dental implants

The dental implant technique with immediate loading can be carried out when bone quantity and quality are normal and also when occlusal habits are favorable for the procedure to be carried out so as not to overload the site with chewing.

Therefore, the immediate loading technique depends on certain conditions of the patient’s dental arch and general oral health. The conditions, planning requirements and feasibility of the implant with immediate loading are assessed individually in consultation. Not all cases can be immediately loaded.

immediate rapid implant loading

Therefore, the dental implant technique with immediate loading can be indicated for the following cases: people with a completely toothless lower arch, a full arch with a few teeth, single or individual teeth in the anterior region of the mouth, and in some cases fixed prostheses on a few teeth, depending on the region. In all cases and situations, the main course of action is to consult your dentist and carry out a full assessment to determine what and how will be done.

Only this assessment can determine whether an immediately loaded dental implant is indicated or whether another rehabilitation procedure would provide a better result. The technique is not always used in all cases, as it depends on the patient having some specific and favorable conditions that are assessed in consultation.

We must therefore plan your case carefully in order to achieve the expected success. The procedure aims to install a temporary prosthesis immediately after the implants have been placed. The time it takes to make the final prosthesis will be discussed with the dentist and varies from case to case.

Types of dental implants

If your concern is to complete your dental implant treatment as soon as possible, you can use fast-healing implants. The Swiss company Straumann is responsible for producing the most modern dental implants that allow rapid healing. Under ideal conditions, without bone grafting and good locking, these implants normally heal in between 1 and 2 months. So if your concern is time, opt for Straumann implants. These implants can be used for single implants or total implants.

In addition to titanium implants, there are also ceramic implants, an option for those who want a metal-free implant treatment.

Types of dentures

The type of dental crown or type of prosthesis to be used in your treatment should certainly also be evaluated, in order to shorten its execution time. If possible, opt for computerized crowns or prostheses. These modern prosthesis models use 3D tools that speed up the execution time and offer greater quality and naturalness. This includes the Translucent Zirconia Prosthesis, the single zirconia crown or the fixed zirconia prosthesis. As well as the Cerec porcelain crown.

At the ImplArt dental clinic, we have all the structure to carry out your procedure with peace of mind, so come in for an assessment and we’ll analyze whether your case can be solved with this technique. Contact us by WhatsApp (11) 3262-4750, we’ll be happy to talk to you and answer any questions you may have.

Transparent aligner – braces without parts glued to the teeth

The transparent aligner is a modern option for orthodontic treatment. Because it is transparent, it is much more discreet and almost imperceptible. Unlike conventional fixed orthodontic appliances , clear aligners are plate-shaped and do not have brackets, metal wires or colored rubber bands. Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners consists of the sequential use of different plates, with minor adjustments to each one.

It also plays a fundamental role in oral rehabilitation when there has been tooth loss. When tooth loss is not immediately replaced with dental implants, nearby teeth tend to move, taking the place of the extracted tooth. Therefore, before the patient can receive the implant, space must be made by moving the teeth back to their original position so that the site can receive the dental implant. This is done with orthodontic braces.

Therefore, in the event of tooth loss, the ideal is to replace the lost tooth with a dental implant as soon as possible.

How the aligner works without glued parts

The patient wears each plate for about 2 weeks and the teeth move progressively until they reach the ideal position. The aligner plates are custom-made for each patient, based on a digital mold taken from the teeth using an intraoral scanner and computerized planning.

In this planning, tooth movement can be simulated in advance with three-dimensional images and the patient can follow the progress of the treatment. Sometimes the aligners need accessories such as resins bonded to the tooth or a mini dental implant to guide the treatment.

We work with national aligners and aligners imported from the United States – Invisalign

Digital documentation

The documentation for this model of orthodontic appliance is a set of scans and photographs used for the digital planning of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners. The 3D orthodontic documentation for treatment with clear aligners consists mainly of:

Panoramic radiography

Digital radiological examination that allows visualization of teeth and bone structures.

Lateral Teleradiography

Radiological examination that allows cephalometric tracings to be analyzed. Radiological examinations make it possible to diagnose occlusion problems, missing teeth, erupted teeth and the bony structures of the face.

Intraoral scanning

A high-precision camera scans the teeth and gums and then creates a 3D mold of the arches. It then reproduces details such as the color and shape of the teeth and dental occlusion on the computer screen.

Extraoral and intraoral photos – facial and intraoral photos. digital orthodontic documentation

The documentation, along with a standard questionnaire, is sent to the factory responsible for making the clear aligner plates. All of the patient’s images are then entered into software for virtual planning of the tooth design and tooth movement.

Once the treatment has been approved, the Invisalign factory makes a series of customized aligner plates for the patient to wear sequentially. The plates must be worn 24 hours a day and removed only when eating or cleaning the mouth. Ask us about the best model, value and price.

Porcelain crown for implants – Day Clinic

What is a porcelain crown on a dental implant?

The placement of a porcelain implant crown is one of the procedures that ImplArt Odontologia can carry out with the convenience and agility of Day Clinic Dentistry in São Paulo.

A porcelain crown is a type of fixed prosthesis with a shape, color and functionality very close to that of a natural tooth, to be fitted over a dental implant. The dental implant is a titanium pin that replaces the root of a lost tooth and supports the prosthesis.

The porcelain crown on dental implant is certainly capable of restoring a beautiful smile and chewing safety for people who have lost one or more teeth, including the root, for some reason. Because it is made from state-of-the-art materials, the porcelain dental implant crown is highly aesthetic, resistant and durable.

ImplArt Odontologia uses the metal-free technique to make porcelain crowns. The advantage of this technique is that the internal structure of the crown is reinforced with zirconia. It is a white material, therefore free of metals and invisible inside the prosthesis, which gives the prosthesis a much more aesthetic result and no dark spots. These materials are also very resistant.

Oral Rehabilitation – Day Clinic allows the whole mouth to be restored

Oral rehabilitation is a practice within dentistry with the aim of recovering or improving the patient’s health, chewing function and oral aesthetics in a complete way, when these are compromised. Aligned with implant dentistry, it allows the replacement of lost teeth with a dental implant, either a total implant with a full-arch fixed dental prosthesis or a partial fixed prosthesis.

This practice is also preventative, as complete and well-articulated teeth prevent problems with the jaw and mandible.

Healthy and beautiful teeth with oral rehabilitation at Day Clinic

Problems that arise as a result of a lack of preventive care can develop, become harmful and much more complex in the future. For a smile to be considered healthy and functional, the entire set of teeth, bones, facial muscles and soft tissues must work together in harmony.

Frequent toothaches or even facial muscle pain, swollen or bleeding gums, plaque build-up, cavities, the absence of one or more teeth, clicking or joint pain when opening and closing the mouth, facial asymmetry, yellowed or stained teeth are some of the signs that something is wrong with oral health and aesthetics.

Complete professional team to carry out your oral rehabilitation in Day Clinic

Oral rehabilitation can involve several dental specialties working together in one day. Just to give an example: periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, implantology, prosthetics, dentistry and dental aesthetics. With it you can, for example:

  • Treatment of infections and periodontal disease
  • Replacing missing teeth with dentures or dental implants
  • Restoring partially compromised teeth with dental crowns
  • Correct bite problems, dental occlusion
  • Restoring masticatory function
  • Recovering or improving dental aesthetics in general

Oral rehabilitation is planned after a number of examinations have been carried out, such as a panoramic X-ray, so that all the patient’s needs can be known. From there, the multi-specialist team jointly decides on the procedures to be adopted for complete oral rehabilitation.

Oral rehabilitation can be carried out in a Day Clinic* at the ImplArt Dentistry Clinic. Day clinics are ideal for people who need intensive treatment in a shorter time than conventional treatment. In some cases it is even possible for the patient to start rehabilitation in the morning and be discharged on the same day.

The ImplArt Dental Clinic is fully capable of offering oral rehabilitation treatments in a Day Clinic*, because it has a multi-specialist dental team and a complete structure, with a prosthetic laboratory, digital panoramic X-ray examinations and computerized systems. This certainly guarantees agility and peace of mind so that the patient can achieve oral rehabilitation in one place.

Predictable results with digital smile planning

Digital smile planning makes it possible to design completely personalized treatments. It allows the patient to understand the stages of their treatment, thus aligning their expectations with the proposed treatment, and above all: it allows the dentist to have greater predictability of results. This applies to dental implant treatments, fixed prostheses and other types of dental prostheses, porcelain crowns and zirconia.

The use of Computer Graphics (3D) has helped in the planning and simulation of various dental treatments.

Thus, with computerized dental treatment planning, the dentist can design dental crowns, restorations, aesthetic treatments, dental contact lenses and plan the placement of dental implants in 3D. The aim of digital smile planning is to create a personalized treatment, seeking the harmony of the smile and also avoiding unnecessary procedures. As a result, it also makes treatment quicker, more convenient and more precise. When it comes to implant treatment, the speed of digital prostheses, combined with the choice of a rapid implant type, means that significant treatment times can be shortened.

With modern resources and equipment, it is possible to mill materials such as pure porcelain or pure zirconia. The modern Cerec Primemill, the latest German milling machine, which joins the team of milling machines in our digital laboratory, allows for even more precise results with even more detail.

The use of digital dentistry in our clinic reduces the chances of COVID-19 contamination at the dentist.

Dental Aesthetics (Smile Design)

A great feature of computerized dental treatment planning programs is image overlay. This involves positioning the digital plan over the patient’s photo, making it easier, for example, for patients to understand their treatment before it starts.

In a nutshell, digital smile design begins with capturing the patient’s oral images using an intraoral scanner. These images are then transformed into a computerized 3D model of the dental arches.

The dentist then visualizes the initial state and designs crowns, restorations or dental contact lenses in order to solve various problems that compromise the aesthetics and harmony of the smile.

Intraoral scanning

digital dental treatment flow intraoral scanning

Some cases, for example, can be carried out with digital smile planning:

  • Increase in the length or volume of one or more teeth.
  • Aligning asymmetrical teeth
  • Making restorations for broken or decayed teeth
  • Making dental contact lenses
  • Harmonization of teeth with facial biotype
  • Tooth shade harmonization
  • Replacing unsightly restorations with porcelain restorations
  • Making metal-free zirconia abutments and prostheses

Computer-planned dental treatments also allow many procedures to be carried out in a Day Clinic (intensive care modality).

tomography for dental implant planning

Digital dental implant planning

Digital planning of dentalimplants helps ensure that the treatment result is tailored to the patient’s needs. It also helps to ensure that the treatment is efficient, as minimally invasive as possible and to avoid surgical accidents (such as hitting sensitive structures). Planning begins with a computerized tomography scan.

The three-dimensional images from the tomography then allow the implant dentist to know details such as bone volume and dimensions, and thus determine the best implant positions, as well as choosing implants with dimensions suited to each patient’s needs. The dentist also has the option of ordering a surgical guide, made on the basis of the information from the CT scan.

The surgical guide acts as a template with the exact indications where the incisions should be made, in such a way as to avoid unnecessary cuts and perforations. As a result, treatment becomes less invasive and recovery faster.

Laser teeth whitening – Day Clinic

Laser teeth whitening is a treatment often used in our Dayclinic cases because it greatly improves the appearance of the teeth and is quick to perform. Teeth whitening can be used in conjunction with other aesthetic treatments such as cosmetic dental lenses. It can also be used in rehabilitative treatments with dental crowns and even dental implants, where fixed dental prostheses will be required, and the tone of the smile can be modified as a whole at this point.

Laser teeth whitening is one of the aesthetic procedures that ImplArt Odontologia can perform in its Day Clinic

Over time, some of our habits can leave our teeth yellowed or stained. Ingesting highly pigmented foods or drinks, such as coffee, wine, beet, açaí, among others, can stain teeth.

Smoking is also one of the enemies of white teeth, as nicotine also stains teeth. In addition, poor brushing – which would be a better way of removing food pigments from the teeth – can also lead to the accumulation of plaque on the teeth, which makes them look yellow.

A beautiful, uniform smile makes up dental aesthetics, while yellowed and stained teeth can affect a person’s self-esteem.

A naturally whiter smile, like the ones seen on celebrities, is a common desire. The best part is that this dream is possible, thanks to the laser teeth whitening procedure, which is certainly a great ally for dental aesthetics.

How does laser teeth whitening work?

ImplArt Odontologia uses the most modern laser whitening techniques safely and efficiently. The best whitening is done with the combination of hydrogen peroxide-based gel and the laser light that activates the gel.

The procedure safely and effectively removes pigments and stains from tooth enamel and dentin. Some people need more than one session and this will be determined after an assessment of each case.

Indications for whitening

Laser teeth whitening treatment is suitable for most people who are bothered by yellow or stained teeth.

There are even techniques for children over the age of 10. The indication is made after a thorough assessment of the general condition of the patient’s mouth (teeth, gums, tongue and mucous membranes) by the ImplArt professional.

Advantages of laser whitening?

  • Faster results than home whitening
  • Causes no or little tooth sensitivity

Day Clinic ImplArt

ImplArt Odontologia performs laser teeth whitening with the agility and convenience of a Day Clinic.

This type of service is ideal for people who want to have a more beautiful smile, whether for an upcoming event, such as a wedding, or even to give their look a boost, but who don’t have the time because of too many commitments in their daily lives, or for those who are in São Paulo for a short trip.

ImplArt’s high-tech structure and specialized team allow your treatment to be planned according to your needs and available time.

Whether this treatment can be carried out in a Day Clinic depends on an assessment of each case.

Dental implants – Frequently asked questions

Find out the most frequently asked questions about prostheses on implants

Are implants aesthetically pleasing?

In short, it depends a lot on the system used and the local conditions. Aesthetics have improved a lot in recent years. But it’s important to bear in mind that, however good the implant and the professional, the first is still a prosthesis on an implant, i.e. the replacement of natural teeth with artificial ones.

Therefore, expectations regarding implants are common, but can usually be followed by a certain amount of frustration. In many cases, the aesthetic solution is quite acceptable. Fortunately, there have been many advances, not only in the materials used to make prostheses, but also in techniques.

Nowadays we can build prostheses that look more and more like natural teeth. However, the main objective must always be functional. The implant is far superior to other prosthetic procedures, and in the absence of teeth, it’s the best we can do.

Dental implant prosthesis: some of ImplArt’s work

How long will I be out of implant prostheses?

In simpler cases, some kind of temporary implant prosthesis is provided for the patient to use immediately after surgery. In the case of the totally edentulous, the period is limited to a few hours to a few days after the first surgery. In the second stage, once the implants have healed, the patient is not left without the prosthesis. In some cases, the immediate loading technique can be used.

Can I eat anything after the prostheses have been fitted? What if I fracture a tooth in the implant-supported prosthesis, is the implant lost?

Not everything can be eaten, but the restrictions are not too severe. Certain foods can even fracture natural teeth. In short, a diet with a minimum of care is sufficient to preserve the teeth of implant-supported prostheses. One positive fact is that repairing fractured teeth is relatively easy.

What happens if the implant (post) becomes mobile after the prosthesis (tooth) has been placed?

All mobility is progressive and indicates that the implant has been lost. Each case is assessed individually and, in principle, the implant can almost always be replaced. This event brings frustration not only for the patient, but also for the dentist. In fact, what happens is an increase in treatment time and, above all, the need to be patient in order to complete it.

I have a full upper prosthesis. I would like to know about the possibility of placing an overdenture without a palate. How many implants? What are the costs?

The overdenture without a palate is a good option because it makes the wearer feel more comfortable. To do this, at least four implants need to be placed. Another option is a fixed prosthesis on implants. This would require four to six implants.

The cost of this type of treatment is variable and it depends on tests to predict the availability of bone in the area. In other words, prices can only be given after a face-to-face consultation and an assessment of the particularities of each case.

I would like to know about the possibility of replacing two removable prostheses with staples with fixed prostheses without staples or implants. I would also like to eliminate the visualization of the staples in my smile.

A treatment like this appears to be of little complexity and can be completed in a short time, according to our Day Clinic philosophy. We always suggest that you also have your teeth whitened to make your whole smile whiter and more aesthetically pleasing.

I have two fixed bridges (one on each side) on the top and I have two implants started (the pins have been placed). I’d like to complete the implants and replace all my teeth with nice white ones, because mine are yellow and the bridges are old with the metal showing. I would also like to know how many days it would take to do a treatment.

A treatment like this is considered to be of minor complexity and can be completed in between 10 and 15 days, according to our Day Clinic and Dental Spa philosophy. The colors of the teeth will be chosen jointly between the dental team and the patient. We always suggest that teeth whitening is also carried out so that the whole smile becomes whiter and more aesthetically pleasing.

I wear lower and upper dentures. Can I get my teeth back? Can you provide information on costs?

Nowadays it is possible to restore teeth even for people who have been wearing dentures for many years. There are many alternatives, especially dental implants. To get an estimate on the price of dental implants, you’ll need a face-to-face consultation and more detailed examinations, which can easily be carried out at our clinic.

Should I go back to the dentist after having my teeth fitted?

At least one clinical radiographic check-up is required every year. It is also the patient’s obligation to attend these check-ups. Appointments are important to identify any problems in time for them to be reversed. They are also used to carry out professional cleaning of the prosthesis, to assess whether the user is performing daily oral hygiene properly, among other aspects that only a professional dentist can identify.

Will chewing ability improve after implants?

Above all, implants have much better functional results than dentures and removable prostheses. Patients who have been wearing dentures for a long time and have implants fitted feel the difference is very significant. The fixed implant prosthesis does not move and the patient certainly feels more comfortable and secure when chewing, speaking and smiling.

I’ve heard that porcelain is the best material for teeth. If I want an implant-supported prosthesis with porcelain teeth, would that be possible?

In most cases it is possible to make a prosthesis on an implant with porcelain teeth. Porcelain teeth are undoubtedly the best material for making a dental prosthesis. Today there are porcelain teeth with or without internal metal that offer different aesthetic results, with metal-free porcelain being more aesthetic than prostheses containing metal.
