Digital dental design

The realization of digital dental prosthesis design is possible thanks to advances in technology in recent years. These technologies are certainly making treatments faster, more precise and with better predictability of results. This applies to both fixed prostheses on dental implants and prostheses on teeth.

It is now possible to see and perfect the result of the treatment on the computer screen before it is finished

ImplArt is continually investing in acquiring the main technologies developed in this sector. They allow us to carry out what we call a digital smile project, i.e. we use a computer to design one or more teeth (choosing their shape and shade) and to plan implant surgeries.

The latest addition is the Cerec Primemill milling machine, which allows crowns to be made with even more detail and even more precise results.

Modern technologies are constantly advancing, always seeking to combine greater patient comfort, speedy treatment and superior aesthetic results. In addition, there is a variety of work available such as crowns, blocks, fixed prostheses with pontics, dental lenses, prostheses on implants.

Photographs of the patient and software are used to plan and make functional and aesthetic changes to the smile, such as adjusting occlusion, the shape and shade of the teeth.

According to scientific research carried out by Dr. Roberto Markarian, Clinical Director of ImplArt, the use of digital prostheses speeds up the delivery time of the work by up to 5x, and increases the degree of patient satisfaction by 80%.

Cerec 3D and Ceramill Motion II

Systems developed for dental laboratories in which we can make the digital design of prostheses, plan and execute teeth using 3D printers. The technique used in digital smile design is called CAD/CAM (computer-aided design). It consists of 4 phases:

  • Intraoral Scanner – This is a high-precision camera used to capture images inside the patient’s mouth. The images are so lifelike that they show minute details such as the tone and texture of the gums and teeth.
  • Processing software – The images captured by the camera are sent to specialized software that creates a three-dimensional digital mould. In this processing phase, our team has the freedom to make adjustments, such as altering the shape and tone, in order to leave the piece with the characteristics that best match the patient’s needs. The computerized design can be superimposed on photographs of the patient to make it easier to understand the proposed treatment.
  • Milling – Equipment that works in a similar way to 3D printers. It receives information from the project and executes it accordingly. This compartment has robotic arms that mill raw ceramic blocks until they reach the shape of the designed part.
  • Ceramic kiln – The designed piece is taken to a high-temperature kiln to undergo a process called ceramic sintering. This phase is what gives the piece strength, shine and shade so that it has characteristics very close to natural teeth.

The main advantages of digital prosthesis design are:

  • Precision – the design of each tooth is made according to the patient’s needs. Once finished, they are the same size and shade as the original design. The fit is usually excellent.
  • Predictability – the software we use is sensitive enough for us to create a three-dimensional mold of the patient in great detail. Both our professionals and the patient can visualize the project on the computer screen, thus being able to predict the outcome of the treatment very accurately.
  • Speed – this system allows us to skip steps that could previously only be done manually, meaning that prosthetic work has become faster. We can perform teeth in a few days or even a few hours through the Day Clinic*.
  • Repeatability – The system allows you to repeat jobs and even make an identical copy of a prosthesis or tooth.

The installation of a provisional made with digital smile planning allows the patient to concretely visualize how their treatment will look before they begin the more invasive procedures in the mouth. This is known as a smile test drive or digital mockup. Treatments that can be planned on a computer:

Get to know Implart’s dental 3d printers

It is well known that 3D printers have great versatility for making various objects. The good news is that 3D printing is now a reality in dentistry and is increasingly transforming the way treatments are carried out.

The 3D printing solution has been brought to dentistry to make aesthetic, fast and precise prostheses and restorations

ImplArt Odontologia is equipped with two of the most modern dental 3D printers: the Cerec System from the German company Sirona and the Ceramil Motion 2 milling machine from the Austrian company AmannGirrbach.

Both companies are world references in research and development of solutions in the area of Digital Dentistry.

Cerec Sirona System and 3Shape Trios

They are Cad/Cam systems capable of building various types of parts, for example prostheses, bridges, highly aesthetic crowns, dental restorations, ultra-thin dental contact lenses. They work in three main phases:

digital prosthesis design

1 – Intraoral scanner: a high-precision camera that captures images of the inside of the patient’s mouth. It takes a digital impression, thus eliminating the need to use putty. We use two of the main intraoral scanners on the market, the Omnicam and the Trios 3Shape.

digital prosthesis design

2 – Computer: we carry out planning with two of the main systems, Cerec 3D and 3Shape Dental System. The images captured by the intraoral scanner are used to design and simulate three-dimensional prosthetic pieces with shapes and shades according to each patient’s needs.

3 – 3D printers: a milling unit with a robot that sculpts the prosthetic part out of a rough ceramic block. The part is then taken to a kiln for the ceramic sintering process to give it strength.

ImplArt has the most up-to-date version ofthe Cerec system milling machine, the German Cerec Primemill 3D tooth printer. This milling machine has functions for faster production, which in many cases allows us to carry out your treatment in a Day Clinic. Primemill also makes crowns, bridges, dental lenses and restorations with a more refined finish and greater detail.

Versatility of 3D printers: the prostheses that can be made with the Cerec system are crowns, bridges, copings, onlays, inlays, dental contact lenses as well as copies of old restorations. Watch a video of the system in operation by clicking here.

Ceramill Motion 2 milling machine

It uses Cad/Cam technology to digitally produce dental prostheses in different materials such as zirconia, wax, metal alloy, resin, glass-ceramic and lithium disilicate. It has exclusive software for projecting and simulating prostheses.

Once the design is finalized, the system then sends the command to the milling unit to make the part.

The milling unit has robotic arms that carve the prosthetic part dry or irrigated.

Versatility: the prostheses that can be made on the Ceramill Motion 2 milling machine are crowns, frameworks for dental prostheses, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, dental contact lenses, individual abutments and telescopic crowns.

A digital project is drawn up to personalize the smile, designing all the technical and aesthetic improvements to the smile. Sites are planned for dental implants and prostheses, which can be single crowns, protocol prostheses or fixed prostheses. Dental contact lenses can also be planned.

Anycubic 3D printers

This is the Anycubic Photon 3D printer for printing teeth and various jobs in our in-house prosthetics laboratory. Some of the jobs that can be carried out on this dental 3D printer include:

  • Myorelaxing plates – mainly used to treat bruxism. Their purpose is to reduce the intensity, strength and frequency of muscle tension when clenching or grinding teeth. It also protects the teeth from wear and fractures.
  • Printing resin dental models similar to plaster models
  • Artificial gum simulation and prototypes
  • Study model prints
  • 3D printing biocompatible teeth for provisionals
  • Printing surgical guides for use in guided dental implant surgery
  • 3D models for later casting

3D CAD/CAM dental crown – automated digital prosthesis in São Paulo

Cerec 3D is a Cad/Cam system for designing and making crowns, different types of aesthetic restorations and dental lenses more quickly and accurately. ImplArt Dental Clinic Brazil has the most up-to-date version of this system, Cerec Primemill. This computerized system can be used for porcelain crowns on remaining roots, or even as a fixed prosthesis on a dental implant.
Dental implants combined with this modern technique for making dental crowns allow patients to be rehabilitated quickly. The Straumann ceramic dental implant is the most modern and allows for metal-free treatment. The Swiss Slactive implant is the fastest healing.

Cerec System: the evolution of dental prostheses

Digital color impression and computerized teeth with the Cerec 3D system in São Paulo. This German technology consists of a color intraoral scanner, processing software and a machining unit that works like a 3D tooth printer.

How does Cerec 3D works?

The Cerec 3D system uses Cad/Cam technology, consisting of a camera, a computer and a machining machine. First, the Cerec 3D system takes digital images of your teeth using a specialized high-precision color camera (intraoral scanner).

Cerec 3D dental crown

The computer then uses these images to design a customized restoration, matching the fit and shape of the surrounding natural teeth.

onlay planning in cerec 3D dental crown 3D

Finally, the 3D printer produces the restoration or crown using robotic arms that mill a rough block of dental ceramic until it acquires the shape of the project. ImplArt is always striving to keep up to date with the latest technologies in digital dentistry. That’s why it now has the most up-to-date 3D printing version of the Cerec system, the Cerec Primemill milling machine.

The crown is then installed on the dental implant or bonded onto the prepared natural tooth.

What are the advantages of Cerec 3D?

Dental restorations with Cerec 3D are not only convenient, but also healthy. Until recently, dentists had little choice of materials, such as metal-ceramic crowns (with metal), amalgam, and resins.

As well as being dark and presenting aesthetic problems, these materials are time-consuming and inaccurate to make because they depend on manual labor and external prosthetic laboratories. With Cerec 3D, we can use strong ceramic materials to restore teeth with beauty and functionality.

  • There’s no need to remove molds with putty, as it does digital color molding
  • Tooth-colored restorations – porcelain does not contain metals or dark, unsightly materials
  • The materials are highly aesthetic, resistant andbiocompatible(such as dental zirconia)
  • Perfect fit of teeth prevents residue build-up
  • In some cases there is no need to use temporary teeth
  • In favorable cases, crowns can be installed in a few hours by Day Clinic ImplArt
  • Less use of anesthesia
  • Fewer visits to the dentist
  • Predicts results before execution

With the Cerec system, it is also possible to make an identical copy of the shape of a prosthesis that the patient is already used to, but which needs to be replaced because it was made with an inferior material or is fractured. Find out more about this technology at ImplArt Odontologia. Make an appointment or if you have any questions, please contact us. We’ll be happy to help you.

Digital Dentistry – High technology applied to dentistry

Digital dentistry and the use of advanced technologies are already a reality in dentistry. The ImplArt Dental Clinic is always investing in technologies that make computer-planned treatments not only faster and more precise, but also more comfortable.

Digital Dentistry – Discover the advantages of using computers in dental treatments

3D tooth printer

3D printers are very versatile, because they are able to build objects of various shapes according to a three-dimensional digital design. Prostheses and dental restorations are also being made using this concept at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt.

We have the two main 3D tooth printers developed in the world: Cerec from the German company Sirona (including the most up-to-date version of the system, Cerec Primemill), and Ceramill Motion II from Austria’s AmannGirrbach. They have robotic arms that mill the chosen dental material (which can be porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, etc.) until it acquires the shape of the computer-designed restoration.

The result is a piece made very quickly, completely customized to the patient’s needs, with perfect color and fit. It is also possible to make an identical copy of the shape of a prosthesis that the patient is already used to, but which needs to be replaced because it has suffered a fracture or was made with unsightly material (metal or stained resin).

Digital smile project

We use modern digital dentistry software to design computerized dental treatments. With the help of these programs, we can design aesthetic dental restorations, crowns, dental contact lenses and even full dentures on implants.

We also design orthodontic treatment by simulating tooth movement and planning dental implant treatment. The aim of the digital smile project is to carry out a treatment that seeks to harmonize the functionality and aesthetics of the smile.

We create restorations and prostheses with customized shapes and colors for each patient.

digital scanning teeth digital molding

Intraoral scanner

The intraoral scanner is a high-precision camera that captures intraoral images, i.e. of the teeth and gums. These images are transferred to a computer which creates a three-dimensional digital mold of the dental arches, the basis for planning the entire treatment.

With digital modeling, our team is able to design restorations and prostheses according to each patient’s needs, even mimicking the shades of neighboring teeth.

For the patient, this type of molding is much more comfortable and faster, unlike the old putty molds. Computer modeling also avoids errors in dental prostheses made with conventional putty molds.

Computer-guided surgery

Computer-guided total implant surgery is a technique that allows for less invasive, precise and comfortable implant surgeries. It eliminates the need to make large cuts and sutures in the gums, thus making the post-operative period smoother and the recovery quicker.

The main purpose of this feature is to provide the patient with greater comfort, both during the surgical process and in the post-operative period. Find out more by clicking here.

Full Arch Dental Implants: what is it, how it works and how it looks

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.

A full-arch-dental-implant treatment provides a quick and efficient solution for oral rehabilitation. All-on-X treatment certainly provides surprising aesthetic and functional results that help restore the natural appearance of the smile and consequently improve self-esteem.

YouTube video player

How does the full-arch-prosthesis work?

The first step is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Roberto Markarian, who will first carry out a thorough assessment of the patient’s oral and general health and habits.

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

You may be wondering: how do I know if I can have my dentures replaced with implants with a fixed prosthesis?

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 prosthesis for implant-supported prosthesis

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.

Zirconia prosthesis / Pure porcelain (metal free)

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.

Metal-ceramic full arch prosthesis (porcelain + metal)

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.

How many days of rest after implant surgery?

Total rest period after surgery (rest days after dental implant):

  1. Light activities (7 to 10 days): Rest is recommended for light activities during the first week, which can be extended to 10 days.
  2. 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!

How to sanitize a zirconia full arch prosthesis?

People who have received fixed prosthesis implants using the branemark should pay special attention to cleaning and oral hygiene in order to avoid problems. These include bad breath and even peri-implantitis (infection around the implant which can lead to mobility or even permanent loss). Therefore, a regular visit to the dentist every 6 months to have the implant supported prosthesis professionally cleaned is essential. Prophylaxis plays a very important role in maintaining oral and implant health!

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!

Sanitize the protocol prosthesis daily with waterpik

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?

Zirconia is the most modern material for dental prosthesis today. Zirconia is an advanced ceramic material, considered super realistic, which has become increasingly well-known in dentistry in recent years, especially for prostheses on dental implants.

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.

Technology: metal free prostheses made by computer and AI

The main characteristic of metal-free prostheses is the absence of metal in their structure. For example, they don’t need a metal support for the porcelain to be applied. In this way, unitary prostheses or fixed bridges look more like natural teeth.

Metal-free, computer-engineered prostheses with artificial intelligence AI

The structure of metal free dentures is made of zirconia, a very resistant white ceramic material.

Its light shade is comparable to human dentin, so the inside of the prosthesis is discreet, even when subjected to light.

This is not the case with metal-framed dentures, which can have dark spots in the same situation. The use of dentures and artificial intelligence.

the use of dentures can be optimized with the help of artificial intelligence.

Computer dentures are an effective solution for replacing missing teeth. It can be a single prosthesis or a fixed bridge, providing a more natural look and similarity to natural teeth.

Metal-free dentures are made from zirconia, a resistant white ceramic material that has a light shade similar to human dentin. This ensures that the inside of the prosthesis is discreet even when exposed to light. In addition, the use of dentures can be optimized with the help of artificial intelligence.

New computerized dental prosthesis technologies, combined with artificial intelligence, offer more efficient work proposals and faster completion times.

In addition, other positive points of computerized dental prosthesis technology are: improved aesthetics, high durability, translucency and little chance of gray spots appearing in the gum areas. At ImplArt Odontologia, the entire molding process for metal-free crowns is done by computerized intraoral scanners.

The digital mold is the basis for planning the prosthesis and the crowns are made using 3D tooth printers. All systems are based on the Cad/Cam system. If you have any questions, please contact us or make an appointment.

Trios 3Shape – Intraoral scanner for mass-free digital molding

The ImplArt Dental Clinic is constantly investing in modern technologies that are sure to make dental treatments faster, more precise and more comfortable. So, for those patients who can’t take a cast at the dentist, there are alternatives! The good news is that new digital molding treatments allow pure zirconia prostheses or pure porcelain crowns to be made using computerized molding.

This applies to treatments with individual dental implants and single dental crowns, as well as fixed prostheses and protocol prostheses in Pure Zirconia. It can also be used for dental contact lenses.

The ImplArt dental clinic was one of the first dental clinics in Brazil to acquire the new intraoral scanner for taking color and computerized digital impressions, the Trios Scanner from the Danish company 3Shape. Our Trios scanner uses CAD/CAM technology to:

  • Intraoral scanning and three-dimensional molding of dental implants and teeth in color.
  • High-precision color imaging of teeth and gums using an integrated intraoral scanner.
  • Measurement of tooth shades while scanning, allowing for more accurate and predictable results.
  • The Trios 3Shape system has a high-resolution multi-touch screen that makes it easy to work with and understand the patient.

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

Digital molding allows the design and execution of different dental treatments such as:

digital prosthesis design

Advantages of the intraoral scanner for digital molding compared to conventional putty molding:

Comfort – the use of the intraoral scanner allows for faster and more comfortable molding for the patient, especially for those who report distress when using molding materials in the oral cavity.

Predictability of results – reading the different shades of the patient’s teeth allows restorations to be made that reproduce these same shades, leaving them looking natural as a whole smile. A recent joint study found that the Trios shade measurement is more reliable than that of the human eye.

Integration – the 3Shape system enables integrated communication between the dentist (requester) and the dental laboratory (executor).

Dental implants how much ?

Dental implants how much they cost? What is the price and value of dental implant treatments, dental prosthesis, prosthesis protocol and dental aesthetics? Also, what is the average price of a dental implant, and what is the price of a dental implant for each tooth?

These are examples of questions frequently asked by patients. To clear up these doubts, it’s important to bear in mind a few points that go deeper than just the dental implant price. Here at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt, patients have their initial consultation directly with our clinical director, implant dentist Dr. Roberto Markarian, who clarifies all the information about implants during the first consultation.

Let’s follow more honest information about the price and cost of dental implants and prostheses and find out what influences the cost of implant treatment:

VALUE OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implant costs can be determined by the type of dental implant used

There are currently several types of dental implants available and different types of dental prostheses, which give patients different options. The most suitable option for your case will be made in consultation, and your opinion will be very important in the final choice process. The characteristics of each material are presented so that the patient can choose with all the information about healing times and execution methods.
In this regard, we should point out that there are everything from titanium implants to the modern ceramic implant, the only metal-free option and an excellent choice for those seeking biological dentistry.

There are fast-healing dental implants, such as the Straumann Slactive implant, as well as national implants with longer healing times. Therefore, your choice cannot be based solely on the price of an implant, but rather on a number of factors.

Dental implants how much ? How much does a dental implant cost? How much is a dental implant?

Of course, many of the calls and messages we receive relate to the cost of dental implants, total implants, dental contact lenses and dental treatments in general. And these questions above are the most frequently asked. How much the patient will spend on their dental implant treatment is undeniably one of the topics that causes concern for the patient.

However, it’s important to point out that there are currently several types of implants and prostheses, and that with so many options, it will certainly be easier to choose the ideal one for each case. We always try to explain that these questions can only be answered legitimately, through a dental consultation. There are two main reasons for this:

1. The first is that the Code of Ethics of the Federal Council of Dentistry forbade dentists from carrying out consultations in person. However, with the pandemic, online consultations with dentists were allowed. In this way, after an online consultation we will be able to provide you with an estimate of Dental implants how much they will cost

2. The second is that dental treatments can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient. There are numerous factors that influence treatment planning, for example:

Does the case require bone grafting or not? What type of implant will be chosen? Are there other treatment options available? What about the type of prosthesis? Immediate or delayed loading? Will a less invasive implant be used? Is it guided surgery, where a prior surgical guide is made?

The good news for those who live far away, whether abroad or in other states, is the possibility of making an initial consultation remotely, the online consultation.

Types of implants and crowns influence the value of dental implants / Dental implants how much ?

What’s more, many patients are unaware of the different types of implant, which, above all, can offer different recovery times and different indications. So there is a wide range of choices, and surely one will be right for you.

Currently, there are SLactive fast-healing implants from Straumann, the Pure Ceramicceramic implant, also from Straumann, as well as conventional titanium implants, which heal in between 2 and 6 months.

In this way, these more modern dental implants make it possible to shorten the treatment time with the rapid healing they offer.

It is also important to note that there are several types of prosthesis to be made on these dental implants, and the choice will be made jointly by the patient and specialist, depending on the desired results. Therefore, at your initial consultation, all the characteristics of each type of implant and prosthesis will be presented for your choice.

Type of implant chosen: The brand of post has an influence on How much does a tooth implant cost?
The final cost of a dental implant treatment depends on a number of factors, such as the materials used, the qualifications of the professional, the technique used, among others. Therefore, the price of the total dental treatment will vary on the market.

How do I know the price of implant treatment? How much do dental implants cost?

First of all, it’s important to bear in mind that when it comes to quality dental treatments, the price of a dental implant 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 every dental implant treatment is 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 have their value. Remember that the effort the professional has put into their qualifications throughout their career makes a direct difference to the outcome of your treatment!

How to measure the value of dental implants in the total dental treatment? what is the fair value/ Dental implants how much ?

Another aspect to address is the techniques used in the treatment and the structure offered. At the ImplArt Dental Clinic we have the most modern equipment for digital 3D prosthesis planning, and our prosthesis laboratory is equipped with computerized printers, responsible for producing the most modern prostheses in zirconia and pure porcelain.

As a result, we are able to offer the most modern technologies worldwide, which makes treatments more precise, faster and more comfortable for the patient. That’s why the ImplArt Implant Clinic is so sought after by patients who come from abroad, looking for the latest technology aligned with the best practices in dentistry worldwide, to carry out their intensive Day Clinic treatment. You should know that, for those who come from far away, it is possible to make an online consultation beforehand and with our technology, planning your dental implant surgery remotely is possible.

Dental implant and prosthesis techniques affect the value of dental implants

There are certainly several options for materials and techniques that influence the composition of a budget. What’s more, a treatment that may be suitable for one person may not be the right one for another.

Therefore, it is especially important to be assessed by a talented implant dentistry professional, who will evaluate each specific case and make the most appropriate recommendation to solve each case. Just to illustrate how treatment prices can vary, and the importance of a face-to-face assessment, at Clinica Dentária ImplArt we offer various dental implant options and different types of prostheses.

Short implants? Faster healing implants? Upon receiving a treatment recommendation, the patient will choose the type of implant and dental prosthesis they prefer with the dentist, after explaining the technical characteristics of each type.

The importance of an evaluation appointment to find out the cost of a dental implant

Another aspect that needs to be addressed is that patients may think they have a dental problem and believe that a particular treatment may be the most appropriate, but in reality it may be something else.

The dental surgeon is the professional who is qualified to look at oral health in general, as well as giving the necessary recommendations to keep teeth beautiful and healthy throughout life. That’s why it’s important to know that there is a wide range of options for solving the same problem.

Below are all the types of prostheses available for total implant treatments. Firstly there are zirconia prostheses with individual teeth, secondly translucent zirconia, thirdly porcelain prostheses and lastly resin options, called protocols.

Treatment planning involves various strategies and options of materials and techniques with different prices: cheaper or more expensive

At ImplArt Dental Clinic, we believe that dental treatment goes far beyond a simple monetary dental implant value.

There are important factors that influence cost-effectiveness, such as the health and well-being that a healthy set of teeth provides. We can mention the confident improvement in the patient’s self-esteem and the patient’s comfort during procedures with modern techniques and methodologies aimed at the patient’s well-being.

In this sense, the relationship of trust between patient and dentist, and above all our empathy for the patient, often brings with it anxieties, expectations, fears and even trauma from previous experiences. What do you think your smile is worth?

Frequently asked questions about dental implant prices and rehabilitation treatments

Does the Dental Implant Clinic charge for the first consultation?

Yes, the first consultation, the assessment consultation, has a cost. Without a doubt, it is important to note that the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, classifies it as an ethical infringement to offer free consultations and diagnoses, as well as to display the cost of dental implants in a generic manner.

At the ImplArt Dental Clinic, the patient will be assessed by the clinic’s director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, who holds important academic degrees such as Master’s, Doctorate and Specialist in Prosthodontics and Implantology.

It is also important to note that our clinical director has extensive experience in thousands of treatments for functional and aesthetic oral rehabilitation, with dental implants and prostheses. He is also considered a benchmark in digital implants and prostheses, with 3D modeling, which is why we receive patients who come from all over the world in search of our quality of care, not just for the value of dental implants.

Because of his knowledge and credibility, he is sought out by patients from all over the world and is responsible for guiding the team of highly qualified specialists who make up the Clinic’s team. Therefore, it is from his experience and solid academic background that he will propose a solution to the patient’s problem, supported by the most modern practices in world dentistry.

What can be requested at the initial consultation?

In order to allow for an in-depth analysis of the case,the patient may be asked toundergo some radiological examinations to help with the diagnosis and treatment planning.

For your convenience, some of the main dental exams, such as panoramic radiography and computed tomography, can be carried out within the clinic, in our radiology center.

Of course, if the patient already has previous, recent tests (up to 1 year), these can be presented at the initial consultation. Undoubtedly, the examinations are a fundamental tool for a complete analysis of the patient’s needs and for determining the cost of the dental implant.

There are dentists who don’t charge for consultations, why do you?

First and foremost , we follow the rules of the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, which specifies that dental services cannot be free of charge, in the same way as medical consultations.

Certainly the culture in dentistry is improving and the number of dentists who charge for consultations is growing. It’s important to make sure that, above all, the dentist who will be seeing you has studied at university and takes frequent postgraduate courses.

Your time is valuable, just as it is in other health professions. I’m sure you also want highly qualified treatment, and we have the technical knowledge and the latest technology to offer it.

Do you accept any dental plans?

In order to offer patients the most modern treatments, our treatments are private.

In fact, most dental plans don’t offer cover for dental prostheses, implants or aestheticprocedures, which are precisely the focus of our clinic. However, plans can be used for the reimbursement system or free choice, depending on the value of the dental implant.

There are certainly companies that offer this system to their employees. In this way, the patient pays for their treatment and then, through the specific procedures of each plan, receives part or all of the amounts paid, according to the rules of each plan. In this case, we offer support so that you can apply for reimbursement.

Can I send my tests by e-mail to get a better idea of the cost of treatment before I go to the clinic?

Nowadays, for those who live abroad or in other cities and want to schedule their trip to the Day Clinic for treatment , it is possible to have an online consultation (Teleodontology). What are the cases in which we can carry out an online consultation?

  • Care for patients who are already undergoing treatment and are unable to return to the office.
  • Ask questions about dental implant treatment and cost
  • Obtain information on the best time to resume treatment for people in the coronavirus risk group
  • Attending to people from other cities, states or countries.
  • Patient monitoring between scheduled appointments

If you are in or passing through São Paulo, we remind you that face-to-face consultations are always more productive. Therefore, the online version of the consultation is intended primarily for those who are physically far away. Due to the rules of the CFO Council of Dentistry, we cannot publish the cost of dental implants.

Morse-Fit: benefits of dental implant connection

What is a Morse-Fit (cone morse) dental implant?

Today there are various types of dental implants, including the morse-fit implant connection. But what does this mean? To understand what a morse-fit dental implant is, you first need to understand what an implant connection is. That way, we’ll show you why the morse-fit implant is the most modern implant available today. Dental implants from the Swiss brand Straumann have a morse-fit platform. Neodent also offers implants of this design.

A dental implant is a device that is surgically placed in the bone and has a function very similar to that of a tooth root. Just above the implant, the dentist places a dental crown or fixed prosthesis to fulfill the function of the teeth. In addition to the type of implant connection, there are also differences in the composition of the implants. There are therefore implants made of titanium and ceramic implants, white implants made of zirconia.

To make the union between implant and tooth, there needs to be an interface and this piece is called an abutment. The way the abutment is placed on the implant is known as the implant connection or prosthetic connection.

Schematics of Morse-fit implants

There are different implant connection models, the main ones being external hexagon, internal hexagon and the advanced morse-fit system. Here, at the Implart dental clinic, we will present all the implant options suitable for your case during your initial assessment with our implant dentist.

Morse fit is a prosthetic connection system in which the implant has a conical central core. There is evidence that this format has several benefits over others. We’ll get to know them shortly.

Benefits of morse-fit implants over other types of connection

The morse-fit technique has a number of advantages and favors the dentist’s work for a more efficient and comfortable rehabilitation. See other advantages:

  • The conical shape preserves the bone crest, reducing the chances of bone loss, as this model is placed at bone level (below the bone).
  • Promotes bone stability which helps preserve peri-implant tissue.
  • The intermediaries used in morse-fit implants allow bone and gum to fill the space between the prosthesis and the implant, creating an ideal seal and preserving the bone.
  • The designed conical seal prevents bacteria from migrating to the implant. The design prevents bacterial colonization on the implant (peri-implantitis).
  • Studies have shown that the conical shape of the morse-fit implant connection is the best option for using the immediate loading technique due to the greater mechanical stability and performance of the abutment, and the favoring of osseointegration (the process of integration between implant and bone).
  • What’s more, these implants allow for faster healing and therefore a shorter implant treatment period

The morse-fit implant is the best option for the surgical and prosthetic phases, and performs best over time. Here are some more advantages:

  • The model makes it possible to plan computer-guided implant surgeries.
  • Excellent frictional retention as well as reduced gaps between the abutment and the inside of the implant prevent displacement. The space reduction increases the contact area of the interface, offering greater resistance than other internal connections.
  • The model favors the distribution of physiological forces around the peri-implant tissues
  • It favors the aesthetic result of the treatment, as the dividing line between abutment and implant is easier and more discreet. In addition, the gums regenerate better with morse-fit implants.
  • Its angulation makes it easier to remove the implant, should this be necessary, while preserving bone and gum tissue.
digital prosthesis design
The union between the morse-fit implant and the prosthetic parts is more stable and durable, preventing bacterial infiltration and infection of the gums and bone around the dental implant (peri-implantitis).

The main brands of morse-fit dental implants, national or imported, SIN Implant System, Neodent, and the Swiss Straumann, are available at Clinica dentaria ImplArt. Also, for those who live far away, we can make a preliminary online consultation and plan your dental implant surgery remotely.

If you have any questions about morse-fit implants, crowns and dentures, it’s best to consult an implant dentist. So get in touch with us or book an appointment with the specialized team at the ImplArt Dental Clinic.
