Learn about the stages of treatment for full arch implant rehabilitation. A full dental implant is a treatment designed to rebuild a new smile when all the teeth in an arch or mouth have been lost. This type of treatment is also popularly referred to as a protocol prosthesis or All on four dental implants, the latter if it involves 4 implants.
The ImplArt Dental Clinic has extensive expertise in full-arch implant treatments, using the best materials to produce the fixed prosthesis for full arch implants in its own dental laboratory, using state-of-the-art computerized techniques. In this way, we offer our patients a choice of different types of dental implants, with different healing times. In addition, patients can choose between 5 different types of fixed prosthesis to be fitted over their implants.
The most modern prostheses today are made of zirconia and use a computerized system to create these highly resistant and aesthetically pleasing prostheses. In addition to zirconia prostheses, there is also the option of zirconia implants.
Most full arch implant cases follow the following treatment steps:
1 – An individual assessment of the case for full arch/full mouth implantation is carried out
Considering the patient’s general and oral health, the volume and quality of bone in the mandible/maxilla, aesthetics, gum shape, among other aspects. To assess bone volume, radiological examinations such as panoramic radiography and computed tomography will be requested.
This stage also verifies the need for bone grafting prior to implant surgery, as well as the need for medical supervision if the patient has pre-existing diseases that could interfere with the success of dental implant rehabilitation.
2 – Treatment proposal
Depending on the information collected and the patient’s expectations, we will present some alternatives for full arch implant treatment with different stages of treatment, techniques and possible materials. The recommended types of dental implant will be presented according to the patient’s case, and they will be able to choose according to their preference. Today there are very modern dental implants and healing times can take between 1 and 6 months, depending on the type. Implants from the Swiss brand Straumann are the ones with the shortest healing times.
For provisional prostheses for total implants. The ImplArt dental clinic takes digital impressions with intraoral scanners (without mass).

5 – Installation of full arch implants
Through simple and painless surgery, the implants that will support the fixed prosthesis are inserted. The surgery takes place in a doctor’s office and the patient can go home immediately afterwards. There are modalities with local anesthesia, or with intravenous sedation, if the patient prefers.
There is also the option of performing dental implant surgery using thecomputerized guided surgery technique.
This technique eliminates the need to make large cuts and sutures in the gums, making the post-operative period easier and the recovery quicker.
The surgical guide acts as a template with indications of where the incisions should be made to place the dental implants. The surgical guide is custom-made according to the patient’s CT scan images, using a 3D printing method.
On the same day or after a few days. This is one of the most important stages of treatment. The prosthesis can be fixed or removable, depending on the case. The preference is for a fixed temporary prosthesis, unless this is technically impossible.
This first provisional prosthesis for total implants does not always meet all the requirements of aesthetics and function because it is made under adverse conditions, such as pre-existing teeth that make molding difficult. If necessary, we will make new prostheses.
7 – Waiting period
It takes between one and six months for the implants to integrate into the bone (osseointegration) and for the gums to heal.
The first image shows the proof of the zirconia structure in the mouth, and the second shows the finished prosthesis with porcelainand a thin layer of artificial gum
8 – Start of the definitive prosthesis for total implants
If the implants are hidden under the gums, the first step is reopening surgery. This is a simple procedure that aims to expose the implants in the mouth. Then molds are made.
9 – Studies for the definitive prosthesis
For total implants, the aim is to find out which characteristics will be important in order to obtain the best aesthetics and functionality. When the characteristics of the final prosthesis are discussed, the color of the teeth, the shape of the teeth, the volume of the prosthesis and whether or not artificial gums are needed will be defined. The patient takes part in this process and will be able to see the stages of the treatment beforehand, as well as the final aesthetics. The dental implant prosthesis can be made of Zirconia, Porcelain or Resin, each with different characteristics, and the patient’s choice is made right at the start of treatment, so that planning is already carried out in anticipation of the definitive prosthesis.
10 – Delivery of the total implant prosthesis
With the approval of the patient and the dentist, the protocol prosthesis is then given as completed and all stages of the proposed treatment have been fulfilled.
11 – Total implant control and maintenance
Once all the treatment stages have been completed and the protocol prosthesis has been delivered, the patient should return every six months for a check-up and cleaning. Every twelve months we will request a panoramic radiograph to monitor the case internally. Even though the patient has had implants and, in many cases, has had all their natural teeth removed, they should still visit the dentist regularly every 6 months.

Based in Basel, Switzerland, Straumann Implants is a world leader in implant dentistry and oral tissue regeneration. It offers innovative, fast-healing implant options, such as Slactive, which heals in 1 month. Or even ceramic implants, the only ones without metal in their composition.
Therefore, as well as offering safe dental implants, there are also some Straumann implant models with special purposes, such as those that avoid bone grafts, because they are narrower or shorter. Or those made of special materials that prevent allergies, such as zirconia implants.
It is this range of solutions, combined with extensive clinical and laboratory testing prior to launch, that makes Straumann implants the best option for patients who want to receive the best!
Find out why Straumann Implants is the world’s best reference
Straumann Swiss implants are considered the best dental implants in the world
In collaboration with leading clinics, research institutes and universities around the world, Straumann has been researching and developing dental implants, surgical instruments, prosthetic components and biomaterials for oral tissue regeneration since 1974.
Straumann’s products and services are available in more than 70 countries. This standard of excellence certainly allows dentists to offer their patients less traumatic, less invasive treatments with predictable long-term results, not only aesthetic but also functional.
Straumann implants are manufactured with three basic requirements: reliability, simplicity and versatility. The brand has an extensive range of implants with different sizes, diameters, angulation, material composition and surface technologies.
This considerably increases the chances of rehabilitation in various situations.
PURE Ceramic – white all-ceramic implants, especially suitable for the anterior region of the arch. It favors the aesthetic result of the treatment.
SLa and SLActive implants – implants with surface technology that favors and accelerates the osseointegration process. They can be used in immediate loading techniques.
Roxolid – implants made from Titanium + Zirconia. They have small dimensions and high strength, and are particularly suitable for patients who have little bone volume (they can be an alternative to bone grafting).
Morse ConeConnection – a locking system that promotes better stability of the tooth and prevents it from coming loose in the future.
The decision on which implant is best for your case will be made between you and your ImplArt dentist. The advantages and disadvantages of each implant system will be presented.
After analyzing the available options, the dentist will recommend the most suitable dental implant for your specific case. In addition, during the initial consultation, the details of the procedure will be discussed, including recovery time and the necessary post-operative care.
It is important to note that choosing the right dental implant is essential to guarantee a satisfactory long-term result. Each patient has unique characteristics, such as the amount of bone available and general oral health, which will be taken into account to determine the best implant option.
Straumann Implants are faster to heal
After the implant has been placed, it will be necessary to wait for a period of healing and integration with the bone before proceeding with the placement of the crown. This waiting time can vary according to individual circumstances and is usually around three to six months.
However, in some cases, it is possible to carry out the dental implant and crown placement procedure in a shorter period of time, such as one month. This accelerated method is known as immediate loading and allows the patient to obtain a complete smile in a reduced time.
Therefore, when considering a dental implant and crown, it is essential to seek out a specialized and experienced dentist who can advise on the best options available and provide a customized treatment to meet your individual needs.
If you have any questions, please contact us! The ImplArt dental clinic relies on all this technology to provide treatment for its patients. We are one of Straumann Implants’ largest clients in Brazil and have been accredited to use Straumann implants since 2002.
Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist and scientific coordinator of ImplArt Clinic in Brazil, is also a member of the ITI – International Team for Implantology, an entity linked to Straumann Implants that brings together the world’s best specialists for the development of new products and techniques related to dental implants.

It is possible to replace a tooth by installing a dental implant with a CAD/CAM-designed crown within 1 month, in selected cases. This is possible because the ImplArt Dental Clinic works with Straumann Slactive implants.They have surface technology that favors and accelerates healing and the biological interaction between implants and bone (osseointegration).
A case of root fracture, for example, would require a dental implant as soon as possible, along with extraction. Successful osseointegration is what guarantees the stability of the implant to support the prosthesis and the masticatory load over the years. With normal implants, osseointegration usually occurs between 6 and 8 months.With Straumann Slactive implants, this time can be reduced to 3 to 4 weeks.
During this healing period, the patient wears a temporary prosthesis so as not to be left without a tooth.In the meantime, our prosthetics laboratory carries out the digital CAD/CAM design and manufacture of the definitive prosthesis using 3D printers. The design begins with a digital mold that is taken using an intraoral scanner, an intraoral camera that captures precise images of the patient’s mouth.
From these three-dimensional images, it is possible to design a prosthesis with the perfect fit and shape for tooth replacement. The prosthesis is made using a 3D printer. It can be made of porcelain, a very resistant, aesthetic material comparable to natural human teeth, and with a metal or zirconia internal structure.
Some people prefer to come twice to our clinic in a stage protocol for Implants instead of coming only once. This happens because if you stay for the full length of the treatment, you need to stay at least one month in Brazil but instead, if you choose a stage treatment you can come normally for one week and go back home. Then, after a few months, when you have availability, you can come again for another week and finish your work.
It is worth noting that the possibility of tooth replacement with implant installation, gum grafting or bone grafting, with the definitive prosthesis in just 1 month, is only possible in selected cases.
An assessment by our specialized team will determine this possibility taking into account certain characteristics, such as bone volume and general state of health (in general, as well as of the teeth and gums).
Alternatives to dental implants for tooth replacement
As an alternative to implants, we can use dental prostheses in some cases. Adhesive dentures are a way of replacing a missing tooth. The main feature of this prosthesis is that it is attached to neighboring teeth using metal fins and dental adhesive.
If you have any questions about tooth replacement with dental implants, treatments for bruxism or average prices, please make an appointment or contact us. We’ll be happy to help you.
Tooth replacement in 1 month with rapid implants and DayClinic
Dr. Roberto Markarian is a reference in dental implants and computerized dental prostheses in Brazil. As well as having more than 10,000 implants installed, he is a researcher who produces knowledge that is published worldwide in renowned scientific journals in the field of dentistry. He is responsible for promoting knowledge and high technology applied in all the treatments offered by the ImplArt Clinic.
A dental implant is a titanium or all-ceramic pin that has a similar function to a tooth root, i.e. to provide support for the teeth. Over the years, dental implants have been developed with different shapes and compositions, in order to always seek better initial stabilization and durability throughout life. Currently, the fastest implant option is the Slactivedental implant version with rapid healing of 1 month. This means that one month after implant surgery, the final crown can be fitted.
Straumann technology
We certainly can’t fail to mention the modern ceramic dental implant which, combined with the pure 3D zirconia crown, is the complete combination for metal-free oral rehabilitation. This treatment is especially suitable for people who are looking for excellence in aesthetic results, both when choosing dental implants and prostheses. In addition, it can be used for those patients who want to avoid the use of metals due to an allergic condition.
This option is gaining more and more ground as many patients want to eliminate the use of metal in their arches, either out of preference or even medical restrictions. There are currently several types of implant, each with its own characteristics, making it easier to choose according to the patient’s wishes. Let’s find out more about this very modern white implant option, which has allowed one version of the implant to be made of titanium.
Some high-tech implant models
The ImplArt Dental Clinic in Brazil only works with high-tech implants, including Straumann Swiss implants (which are widely considered to be the best in the world). Straumann offers a wide range of implants in a variety of shapes, diameters and lengths to meet a wide range of needs in implant dentistry.
Implants of reduced length and diameter, they are suitable for people with bone defects who do not want or cannot undergo bone grafting procedures. They are composed of a high-performance alloy, specifically designed above all to provide greater strength than pure titanium. They have excellent bone integration capacity.
Ivory-colored all-ceramic implants, so they resemble the shade of the tooth roots. They can be a treatment option for more apparent areas of the arch or patients with very thin gums. They can also be an option for treating patients who are sensitive to metals such as nickel.
They have an internal prosthetic abutment connection, thus reducing manipulation of the gingival tissues. For this reason, they can be a treatment option for more apparent areas of the arches, as they provide a more aesthetic result.
They have a rough surface technology that provides an ideal structure for the adhesion of cells that stimulate and therefore accelerate the osseointegration process (bone formation and stabilization around the implant).
They have surface technology that stimulates and accelerates the osseointegration process (bone formation and stabilization around the implant).They have a hydrophilic surface for the formation of blood clots in the implant.
The hydrophilic and chemically active properties of the SLActive surface provide a larger accessible surface area for greater absorption of blood proteins and formation of the fibrin network.
These are ideal conditions for blood clots to form and for the healing process to begin. All Straumann implants are made from safe materials that are certainly biocompatible with the human body.
Swiss implant manufacturer Straumann offers a complete range with various clinical applications.

High-tech dental implants – Advantages?
Tooth loss can lead to aesthetic, functional and bone problems, so a quick replacement is essential. More advantages:
Dental implants – Contraindications (each case is assessed individually)
In patients with general health problems
When there is not enough bone to place the implant (can be solved with bone grafting techniques)
Dental implants: how are they done?
The titanium implants are installed into the bone through a small operation in the dental office, under local anesthesia. Once the dental implant is in place, it takes an average of 1 to 4 months to adhere to the bone (osseointegration), depending on the type of implant chosen.
In some high-tech Straumann implant models, osseointegration can occur in less time. Therefore, after this period, the molds for the installation of the fixed prosthesis on the implants can begin.
In some selected cases, the prosthesis can be placed on the same day as the surgery with immediate loading. If you have any questions, please contact us or make an appointment. We at ImplArt Implants Clinic will be happy to help you!
Immediately loadeddental implants are a technique in which the procedure of placing a dental implant and fixed prosthesis is carried out more quickly. In this way, it helps patients regain their self-esteem and their smile without the need to visit the dentist’s office several times. Immediate loading means placing a prosthesis – usually temporary – on the implants immediately after surgery.
Here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic we perform implants with immediate loading. However, each case is assessed on its own merits to see if it is the most appropriate and safest way to ensure the success of each treatment. See more information below.
How does Immediate Load of Implants work?
Learn more about the technique – indications
But can it be done in all cases?
The answer is no. The possibility of an immediately loaded implant depends on fulfilling pre-requisites that can only be ascertained at the time of implant insertion. In addition to checking all the preoperative X-rays and CT scans, there are factors related to the surgery itself. Thus, the final torque of the implant at the time of bone insertion must be verified. It must therefore be checked after the implant has been installed.
In addition, it is important to note that the ideal is always to wait for the dental implant to heal before loading it. The making of a final prosthesis certainly involves aesthetic and functional studies, which have their own timeframe for preparation and testing by the patient. Therefore, if immediate loading is possible, it should ideally only involve a temporary prosthesis. In this way, the final prosthesis can be made with the implants already healed, and the aesthetics and functionality can be studied in depth, without putting the newly inserted implants at risk.
Immediately loaded implants – indications
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 so that there is no overload from chewing on the site.
Therefore, technique depends on certain conditions in the patient’s dental arch and general oral health. These conditions are assessed individually during a consultation here at the ImplArt Clinic.
The immediate loading dental implant technique can therefore be indicated for the following cases:
People with a completely missing lower arch,
Full arch with a few teeth,
Single or individual teeth in the anterior region of the mouth,
In some cases, dentures are fixed on some continuous teeth,
In all cases and situations, first and foremost the best course of action is to consult an implant 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 bring a better result. In any case, implants are a great way to replace teeth, see before and after cases with dental implants.
Below is a video showing how total implant surgery is performed with a fixed prosthesis on implants, the protocol prosthesis.

The decision on which implant is best for your case will be made between you and your ImplArt dentist. The advantages and disadvantages of each system will be presented, taking into account the needs of each patient. It’s important to know that there are different types of implants, each with its own characteristics and healing time. If you have any questions, please contact us!
The Pure Ceramic zirconia implant from the Swiss company Straumann is a highly resistant and aesthetic option for replacing a natural tooth. The dental implant is made of metal-free ceramic material and has a white color, which is more similar to the roots of natural teeth. With this implant, it is possible to achieve an aesthetic and functional result that is far superior to metal implants. In addition, zirconia is a biocompatible and anti-allergic material, which minimizes the risk of rejection or complications. Therefore, the Pure Ceramic zirconia implant is a great choice for anyone looking for a beautiful, healthy smile.
Why should you do your zirconia implant in Brazil
The dental zirconia implant combined with the use of a pure 3D zirconia crown is the complete combination for metal-free oral rehabilitation. This treatment is especially suitable for people seeking excellence in aesthetic results, both when choosing dental implants and prostheses. In addition, it can be used for those patients who want to avoid the use of metals due to an allergic condition.
This option is gaining more and more ground as many patients want to eliminate the use of metal in their arches, either out of preference or even medical restrictions. There are currently several types of implant, each with its own characteristics, making it easier to choose according to the patient’s wishes. Let’s find out more about this very modern white implant option, which has allowed one version of the implant to be made of titanium.

Using a zirconia implant is an option in cases of allergies or major aesthetic needs
In addition to their natural color, Straumann Pure Ceramic implants have a surface developed with ZLA technology, similar to SLA, which favors and accelerates the osseointegration process, important for the success and stabilization of the implant.
The implant has the color of a natural tooth, because it has no sparkling reflections, and is very useful in cases of thin or atrophied gums. This makes it possible to obtain a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing end result, especially for application in the anterior region (the most visible part of the arch).

In these images of a surgery carried out in our clinic with a zirconium dental implant, the aesthetic nature of the material can be seen. After initial gum healing, bone healing begins, which takes an average of 2 months. After this time, the porcelain crown can be fitted over the implant.
The zirconia implant: Straumann Pure ceramic has been extensively tested and proven
The Straumann Pure ceramic implant was subjected to rigorous scientific research before being introduced to the market. Each implant is mechanically tested before being delivered to the dentist. This quality can only be guaranteed by a world leader in scientific research and the development of solutions for implant dentistry.
Pure Ceramic implant applied in the anterior region
Straumann has been researching and developing dental implants, surgical instruments, prosthetic components and biomaterials for oral tissue regeneration since 1974. Straumann’s products and services are available in more than 70 countries.
Image of the types of zirconia implants currently available in Brazil. We have the Straumann Pure Ceramic zirconia implant and the Neodent Zi implant available.
What is the healing time for zirconia dental implants?
The recovery period for the Straumann Pure zirconia implant can vary, depending on several factors, including the patient’s oral health and the type of procedure performed.
After implant surgery, the gums around the implant site need time to recover. This usually takes two to four weeks, but can vary according to the patient’s individual response.
In addition, the process of osseointegration, which is when the bone fuses to the implant, is a crucial part of recovery. Specifically for the Straumann Zirconia implant, osseointegration can occur between 2 and 6 months, while in the case of the ZI implant (Neodent) it can take 3 to 6 months to fully integrate.
Remember, each case is unique and recovery time can vary. It is always important for us to examine the patient in order to offer personalized advice.

I’m sure many of you have heard of the Full Arch Dental Implants treatment. But do you know how the treatment works? Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis treatment involves two stages, one surgical, with the insertion of dental implants, and the other prosthetic, with the realization of the fixed prosthesis on the implants. It can be carried out on both the upper and lower arches. This treatment is also known as All-on-4, All-on-6 or even All-on-X.
Through simple and painless surgery, implants are inserted that will support a fixed prosthesis. Normally 4 to 6 implants are inserted in each arch. The surgery is carried out in an office and the patient can go home immediately afterwards. There are modalities with local anesthesia, or with intravenous sedation, if the patient prefers.
Here at ImplArt Dental Clinic, located in São Paulo, Brazil, there is also the option of performing dental implant surgery using the computerized guided surgery technique. This technique eliminates the need to make large cuts and sutures in the gums, making the post-operative period for implants easier and therefore faster to recover from. The surgical guide acts as a template with indications of where the incisions should be made to place the dental implants. The surgical guide is custom-made according to the patient’s computerized tomography images, using a 3D printing method.
See images of the Full Arch Dental Implants below
See below for this treatment with an upper Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis and a lower Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis. Firstly, implant surgery was carried out and a temporary fixed prosthesis installed on the day of surgery. Secondly, after the dental implants had healed, we made the Zirconia Prosthesis a fixed over the implants.

Implant-Supported Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis, what is it?
The Implant-Supported Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis is a type of total fixed dental prosthesis that is indicated for people who have lost all their teeth in the same arch. It consists of 12 to 14 teeth attached to a single structure screwed onto 4 to 6 strategically placed dental implants.
It will also be necessary to carry out a radiographic examination, which is a computerized tomography scan, to visualize the volume of bone and its quality. This is essential for planning the number of implants that will be placed in the bone, both in the upper and lower arches.
When is Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis recommended?
Firstly, fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis is recommended for patients who wear dentures, and for those who suffer from periodontitis or severe periodontal disease.
It is important that, even if the patient suffers from periodontitis, the disease is controlled by eliminating any sources of infection (plaque, tartar, calculus) and controlling gingivitis.
Thus, if the disease is well controlled and the bone is healthy, there is the possibility of replacing the extracted teeth with dental implants.
It is common for a patient, on receiving a poor prognosis for a tooth, to want to save it at all costs. Although in some cases it is possible to save a tooth with compromised periodontal structures, in most cases an experienced professional will be correct in recommending extraction and placement of a dental implant.
How do you change from dentures to a Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis? Full Arch Dental Implants Prothesis
People who have been wearing dentures for many years can experience a lot of bone loss in the jawbone, and this is a common concern for people who would like to have implants placed in order to wear a fixed prosthesis. Alternatively, we perform various bone grafting techniques, or use short implants designed for those with bone resorption.
Undeniably, it is always a great relief for patients to change their dentures for Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis. We, who specialize in this type of full-arch-dental implants treatment, follow the changes in the daily lives of patients every day, who are able to increase their quality of life with this treatment. Therefore, replacing dentures with implants only has benefits!
The difference between a Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis and a removable denture
The Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis provides stability when chewing and total confidence for the patient, since there is no need to remove it for daily hygiene. Patients report at the end of their treatment that they eat much better and have much more confidence in smiling, which brings great social gains to the patient’s life. It is therefore an important step for patients towards improving their quality of life.

Who can have All-on-X or Full Arch Dental Implants treatment?
Anyone can have a Full Arch Dental Implants treatment. First of all, the patient must have a panoramic X-ray and a computerized tomography scan to assess the bone in the area that will receive the dental implant. Even patients with diabetes, in most cases, can receive implants as long as their diabetes is under control. So don’t be alarmed if you have diabetes, implants could be a solution for you too. Of course, this is after a careful assessment of your health condition.
Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis treatment covers a wide range of patients of different ages. Elderly people can also have the procedure. Each case must be evaluated in detail so that the procedure is always safe and promotes the patient’s well-being.
In your initial consultation with our clinical director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, you will receive all the guidelines for your All-on-X treatment.
What are the advantages of the Full Arch Dental Implants?
When the use of a mobile prosthesis causes discomfort, be it functional, aesthetic or sensory, there is the opportunity to replace it with a fixed version. See the advantages of protocol treatment on implants:
Does not move and does not require adhesives for fixing
Does not fall, avoiding embarrassing experiences
The prosthesis materials are more beautiful and resistant, especially metal-free zirconia prostheses.
Does not hurt gums and mucous membranes
Safer chewing, smiling and kissing
Improves diction
No acrylic roof of the mouth, improving speech and food tasting
Increases lip support, improving the appearance of a thin lip.
Which material is the Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis made of?
Here at Clinica Dentaria Implart you will find a wide range of materials for your prosthesis. From the simplest in Resin, through Metal-Ceramic (Porcelain), to the most modern prosthesis in Zirconia.
Do you know Zirconia, this innovative material for full arch prosthesis? Full Arch Dental implant Prosthesis in Zirconia are possible with this innovative computerized material. It is therefore an excellent choice for those looking for an aesthetically pleasing and durable material. What’s more, its computerized design system offers more precision, as well as greater comfort through the use of the 3D scanner.
Translucent zirconia is an implant-supported prosthetic option made using an extremely advanced production method. Based on digital intraoral molding, the zirconia prosthesis is computer-designed and manufactured on 3D printers. In other words, the zirconia disc placed in the 3D printer is milled into the shape of the computerized design. This is certainly the most modern and resistant option, as well as the most beautiful and realistic.
It is an opaque white ceramic structure called zirconia, covered with dental porcelain. In this way, the aesthetics are sculpted in porcelain with the shape of the teeth. It is also a new and technologically innovative material, as the structure of the prosthesis is completely planned on a computer and executed with the help of electronic scanners and 3D printers.
This is a prosthesis with an internal metal structure (titanium, Ni-Cr or Cr-Co) and an aesthetic porcelain finish that is hand-sculpted to the shape of the teeth. Metal-ceramic prostheses therefore have the advantage of porcelain strength and aesthetics. As a result, the final result is aesthetically and beautifully similar to natural teeth.
Resin Full Arch Prosthesis (acrylic resin + metal)
Also known as the Bränemark prosthesis, this is another option available for implant-supported prosthesis. This model of prosthesis has an internal metal structure and an aesthetic resin finish. The teeth are made of resin and you can choose the color, shape and size of the teeth.
However, this material has a disadvantage compared to the previous ones, which is the possibility of color change (yellowing) over time.
What care should be taken after full arch dental implant surgery?
After dental implant surgery, the total recovery period may vary at the discretion of the implant specialist, with a view to the success of the procedure. Therefore, the implant dentist, Dr. Roberto Markarian, will guide you according to the criteria of the type and extent of the surgery.
Light activities (7 to 10 days): Rest is recommended for light activities during the first week, which can be extended to 10 days.
Gradual return to normal activities (up to 3 weeks): The patient is instructed to gradually return to normal activities, which may take up to 3 weeks.
Will I lose my prosthesis after implant surgery?
Rest assured, the main concern of the entire team here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic is to make the whole process as comfortable as possible for the patient. In this way, the psychological aspect and the patient’s well-being are paramount. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, we plan a temporary prosthesis that is installed immediately after surgery. The patient is therefore able to carry out their activities normally while we wait for the implants to osseointegrate.
New techniques – Zirconia total implants
Zirconia Total Implant: Natural and resistant Implant Supported Prosthesis
Dental implants with zirconia prosthesis are recommended for various clinical cases, such as bruxism, because zirconia’s resistance is superior to any other material. The material is a star in dental practices due to its versatility and the possibility of bringing a better appearance to the mouth, especially after the tooth has been darkened by root canal treatments or dental trauma, with a great loss of dental function and aesthetics. So, if possible, opt for Zirconia!
To clean the fixed implant supported prosthesis at home, the patient can use the interdental brush, in addition to the traditional toothbrush, which is effective and sufficient in the external regions. However, for the areas inside the prosthesis, around the implants or on the mucosa, interdental brushes and oral irrigators (pressurized water jets) are the most suitable. Certainly the best known of these devices is the Waterpik. These devices are certainly not easily found in Brazil, but in the United States they are sold in any pharmacy.
This way, with regular visits to the dentist every 6 months and proper hygiene of the fixed prosthesis at home, you’ll have a long-lasting and healthy treatment!

How to sanitize the fixed prosthesis / cleaning?
Care with the hygiene of the implant supported prosthesis is mainly to remove any food residue that may remain between the implant pins and the prosthesis (as in the image above), and to avoid the formation and accumulation of bacterial plaque on the surface of the prosthesis.
What is the best Full Arch Dental Implant Prosthesis?
It is also called Monolithic Zirconia, because it is made from a solid block of Zirconia that takes the shape of a dental prosthesis using a modern computerized system. The Translucent Zirconia prosthesis is made using 3D printers, a highly technological system. First of all, it’s worth clarifying that zirconia is a type of porcelain that replaces metal in dental treatments, as it offers a more natural and translucent appearance, without the presence of shadows, as happens in prostheses that use metal
In the ImplArt Clinic’s digital prosthesis laboratory, impressive robotic arms, which are present in modern milling equipment, are responsible for sculpting the prosthesis design previously drawn up on the computer. The design is certainly impressive as it uses only computerized systems for both its design and printing
It’s certainly a very modern system, which makes it possible to achieve aesthetically superior results in a more agile, fast and precise way. What’s more, zirconia is biocompatible with the human body, which means that the patient runs no risk of allergies or rejection.
What is the difference between a All-on-X prosthesis and an overdenture?
While in the implant supported prosthesis is fixed on 4 to 6 implants, in the overdenture the prosthesis is fixed on only 2 implants. As a result, the overdenture does not have the same stability as the All-on-X prosthesis. Therefore, the best alternative is the Full Arch Dental Implant Prosthesis.
How much does an upper Full Arch Dental Implant Prothesis cost? How much does a lower Full Arch Dental Implant prosthesis cost?
First of all, it’s important to bear in mind that when it comes to quality dental treatments, the price of the dental implant prosthesis can’t always be the deciding factor in the choice, but rather the quality of the service being offered. It is therefore essential that patients make their choice based on the trust and credibility of the clinic or professional providing the service, as well as the technical knowledge of the professionals, their years of practice and the technique to be used.
Undeniably, not all prosthesis and dental implant treatments are the same, firstly because of the differences in each case, and secondly because each professional has their own practice, technique and theoretical background. That’s why it’s very difficult to choose a professional based on price alone. If it’s too cheap, be wary! High-quality materials and qualified professionals who are in line with modern trends in implant dentistry have their value.
Remember that the effort put into qualification that the professional has put in throughout their career makes a direct difference to the outcome of your treatment! In addition, there are different types of materials, as mentioned above, from implants to different types of prostheses. Just to give you an example, here are the types of materials for implant supported prosthesis – Translucent Zirconia, Zirconia, Metal-Ceramic and Resin. The choice of prosthesis material, as well as the type of implant, will certainly influence the price of the Full Arch Dental Implants prosthesis. In this sense, we have various types of implants, from national implants to imported Straumann implants, a world reference in the field of implants.

Full arch implant with zirconia and porcelain prosthesis
This technique eliminates the need to make large cuts and sutures in the gums, making the post-operative period easier and the recovery faster.
The surgical guide acts as a template with indications of where the incisions should be made to place the dental implants. The surgical guide is custom-made according to the patient’s CT scan images, using a 3D printing method.
CT makes it possible to analyze the bone volume of all regions of the maxilla and mandible in order to select the best distribution of implants. In this way, it is also possible to choose the most suitable implants, taking length and diameter into account.
Another advantage of computer-guided implant surgery is that it helps to avoid surgical accidents, such as hitting delicate structures like nerve pathways.

The patient can leave the office with temporary teeth or with the mobile prosthesis they were already wearing over the implants until the definitive prosthesis is finished (in 3 to 6 months), or with an immediate load in up to 72 hours.
Immediate loading ranges from the guided implant surgery for placing the implants to the fixing of the fixed dental prosthesis, usually of the dental protocol type. The patient can quickly speak, smile and eat safely (the masticatory effort should progress little by little, according to the surgeon’s instructions).
Indications for a computer-guided implant surgery:
Any completely edentulous patient, whether recent or having worndentures for years, who has good bone availability is likely to be a good candidate for this technique.
Diabetic and/or hypertensive patients who generally have no indication for surgery or when it should be performed with caution due to bleeding. Computer-guided total implant placement surgery is, in principle, an excellent option for this patient, as bleeding is less with this technique.
– Very advanced bone atrophy makes it impossible, in principle, to place neodent dental implants. In some cases, this problem can be solved with another technique, bone grafting.
The entire procedure is carried out with great peace of mind and safety. Computer-guided implant surgery represents a major advance in dental surgery and our team at the ImplArt dental clinic, led by Dr. Roberto Markarian – a doctor in dental implants and a specialist in prosthetics – has full command of the techniques.
To find out if you could benefit from this technique, our team needs to carry out a thorough assessment of your case. Contact us and make an appointment at the ImplArt dental clinic to see other cases and photographs. We will be happy to try to solve your problem.
Single-tooth implants with immediate loading consist of placing one or a few dental implants and then attaching a fixed prosthesis. This technique is used to reduce the stages of the procedure and allow the smile to be restored more quickly with implants. The tooth is fixed directly to the implant during surgery or within a few days.
The single-tooth implant immediate loading technique makes your treatment faster
In a common procedure, a temporary acrylic tooth is placed in the correct position for a period of one to four months (healing period), depending on the type of implant chosen. Soon after this period, the implant and bone are closer together and the gums are more stable, making it possible to make the molds for the permanent porcelain tooth.
In the case of immediate loading for single implants, the technique is used to rehabilitate just one tooth. This type of intervention is used when the tooth is severely compromised by cavities, periodontal disease, fractures or simply the absence of a tooth (a tooth that hasn’tbeen born).
The extraction of a problem tooth is followed by the installation of the implant and the fixing of an immediate prosthesis by the implant dentist. Even with planning, in some cases there are uncertainties about the use of immediate loading.Some factors cannot be predicted, such as the stability of the implant (insertion torque) and the quality of the bone.
The technique is particularly suitable for the front teeth, especially the incisors, which require less chewing force. The bottom teeth are not suitable for immediate loading because chewing exerts too much force. Therefore, immediate loading in this area reduces the chances of successful treatment.
To carry out the single implant immediate loading procedure, the patient must be in good health with good oral conditions to facilitate the primary stability of the implant. In addition, favorable bone structure is essential for immediate loading.
Uncontrolled systemic diseases and smoking are factors that should be assessed by the dentist, as smoking reduces the chances of osseointegration.
