IMPLART CLINIC

ImplArt serves all dental specialties

At the ImplArt Dental Clinic we strive to offer quality care and the greatest possible convenience. That’s why our team is made up of professionals from all dental specialties. They are:

Implantology

Implantology is the area of dentistrydedicated to the treatment of edentulism (the absence of one or more teeth) with prosthetic rehabilitation supported or retained by dental implants, which can be made of titanium or even ceramic. This is the new, modern ceramic implant, the white implant, for those looking for a metal-free implant. Read more

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the specialtyresponsible for correcting the position of teeth and jawbones for proper occlusion and alignment. The main objective of orthodontic treatments is functional improvement (chewing, articulation, speech, breathing and to avoid “opportunistic” periodontal diseases such as cavities and plaque build-up and tartar formation), but it also aims to restore an aesthetic and harmonious smile.

Dentistry

The specialty of dentistry focuses on aesthetic dental restoration. The most popular procedures are: teeth whitening, resin or porcelain restorations, dental contact lenses or porcelain veneers. Learn more

Oral and Maxillofacial

Correction of facial anomalies of the jaw or mandible, reconstruction of bone defects, problems of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), orthognathic surgery, treatment of retained teeth, tumors and cysts.

Dental prosthesis

The specialty of prosthodonticsaims to make dental prostheses to replace lost teeth, with the aim of restoring oral function and aesthetics. It is considered dental art, since this specialty has the mission of creating prostheses that are increasingly similar to natural human teeth (in shape, color, translucency and texture). Dental prosthesis models range from the mobile type (dentures), protocol prosthesis, to dental crowns that are fixed to dental implants. Learn more

Endodontics

Endodontics is the area of dentistry responsible for treating diseases of the dental pulp, root canal system and periapical tissues. It carries out root canal treatment with the aim of maintaining the tooth and avoiding its extraction. Read more

Periodontics

Periodontics isresponsible for identifying and treating periodontal diseases, the most common of which are caries, gingivitis, plaque build-up, tartar formation and periodontitis (inflammation of the bone tissue that supports the tooth). This specialty also performs surgery to correct gummy smiles. Learn more

Dental Radiology

Dental radiology is of fundamental importance, especially for diagnosing functional problems and oral diseases using X-ray images. It also helps other specialties to plan dental implant surgery and monitor the progress of treatment or surgery that has already been carried out. These exams include panoramic radiography and computed tomography. Find out more.

In addition, the structure of the ImplArt Dental Clinic includes the main technologies used in modern dentistry, both for diagnosis and for treatment and follow-up. At Clinica Dentaria ImplArt you will find:

Replacing teeth with periodontal disease with implants

When extractions are unavoidable due to periodontal disease, it is likely that teeth will need to be replaced with dental implants. However, dental implants can only be placed immediately after periodontitis has been treated. If the disease is not well controlled, the success of rehabilitation with dental implants will be compromised.

Periodontal disease (periodontitis) without proper treatment can lead to tooth loss. This is because the bacterial infection gradually destroys the structures that support the teeth. As a result, the teeth soften and, depending on the case, are unable to be maintained.

This is what is known as peri-implantitis, i.e. infection around the implants. Peri-implantitis hinders osseointegration (a phenomenon necessary for implant fixation) and can lead to implant loss.

*Learnall about dental implants: Dental implants: Learn all about dental implants in this guide

Control of periodontitis

Immediately after tooth extractions, the surgeon assesses whether the bone and gum structures are compromised through clinical and radiographic examinations. He may perform minor surgery to clean the area and administer antibiotics to control the infection. The patient is instructed to maintain proper oral hygiene. In the meantime, the patient can wear a temporary prosthesis. The recovery time for periodontitis is not established, as it depends on each case.

PROTESE PROTOCOLO

Replacing teeth with dental implants

If the bone loss after periodontitis is reasonable, dental implants can even be immediately loaded (in selected cases). If bone loss is severe, it may be necessary to perform a bone graft to rebuild the structure before placing the implants.

Unfortunately, this process is not so quick, as it is primarily necessary to wait for complete healing (from 3 to 6 months on average). After dental implants have been placed, clinical follow-up is particularly important in these cases, in order to prevent periodontitis from returning.

Dental visits should be more frequent for patients with a history of periodontal disease than in cases where tooth loss has occurred for other reasons. The surgeon may order additional imaging tests to monitor the osseointegration of the implant. Care should be taken with oral hygiene at home.

This treatment, when carried out by a specialized team and together with the patient’s valuable collaboration in terms of oral hygiene, correct use of medication, regular visits to the clinic and the patience to wait for the results, has a high chance of success.

The ImplArt Dental Clinic specializes in replacing teeth with implants after periodontal disease. Its team is made up of serious periodontists and implant dentists, trained at the country’s leading universities.

Digital Smile Design: How Does Technology Turn Predictability into Reality?

Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a protocol that integrates cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence and the artistic sensibility of our team to create a reliable preview of your treatment. It transforms the initial consultation into a co-creation experience.

Understand the steps that allow us to design your new smile:

1. Complete Digital Diagnosis: The process at the ImplArt Clinic begins with high-precision documentation. Using a modern intraoral scanner, which replaces the old moldings, we create an exact 3D model of your mouth. We complement this with professional photographs and videos that capture the dynamics of your smile and your facial harmony.

2. The Design of the Smile (The Digital Architecture): With this data, Dr. Roberto Markarian and his team use advanced software with Artificial Intelligence to digitally design every detail of the new smile. We analyze the proportion, shape, color and alignment of the teeth in relation to your lips, gums and facial features, seeking a natural and personalized result.

3. Visualizing the Future (Your Participation): This is the moment when we present you with the simulation, like the one you saw in the video above. You will be able to see the “before and after”, give your opinion and ask for adjustments. Your feedback is crucial so that the end result is not only technically perfect, but also fully reflects your wishes.

5 Biggest Risks for Dental Implants

Are there any risks for dental implants? We’ll find out about 5 of them in this article. Dental implants are a more up-to-date, modern and low-risk alternative for tooth replacement than a fixed prosthesis on teeth or a removable prosthesis, the old dentures.

The technique for inserting dental implants is very safe, with an estimated 92% chance of success in non-smoking patients with good health and healthy habits. There are several types of dental implants available today, the most modern of which is the metal-free ceramic implant, an excellent option for those looking for metal-free implant treatment.

The single tooth implant, or total dental implant, is used to replace the root of one or more missing teeth and will serve as a support for an artificial tooth called adentalprosthesis or dental crown.

Crucial to the success of the procedure is the thorough planning of the implant surgery and the choice of specialist professionals who are qualified to carry out the dental implant surgery. This increases the chance of success of this important treatment, and therefore the chances of any complications are minimal.

So rest assured that you can enjoy all the benefits that this rehabilitative and safe treatment offers patients. The implant-supported prosthesis is made to resemble the person’s other natural teeth and also offer similar chewing strength.

Oral rehabilitation with dental implants is usually the best option for re-establishing the patient’s aesthetic and chewing functions, a treatment called total dental implantation.

But in very few cases, there can be some risks with dental implants. Here are the 5 main risks of dental implants:

1 – Risk of implant breakage

Patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) can exert a lot of force on the implants, with an increased chance of breakage or fracture of the implants or the parts that make up the implant prostheses.

Patients who bruxism also increase the risk of loosening the screws that fix the implant crown. When this happens, the patient reports that the implant is “soft”. However, we mustn’t confuse the prosthesis becoming loose with the implant pin coming loose from the bone (which is much more serious).

Most commonly, when the problem is just the loose implant tooth, the patient feels no pain, while when the implant is lost there is always pain. If the implant fractures or comes loose from the bone, it must be replaced, starting the dental implant process all over again.

Check complete PODCAST about 5 biggest risks for dental implants:

Is it the dentist’s fault that my implant fractured?

There are several factors to consider, some of which would be the material of the prosthesis, the number and positioning of the implants, correct surgical technique, material of the dental implant, type of prosthetic components chosen, type of prosthetic connection chosen.

Assuming that the professionals are working to do their best, it’s rare that there will be any negligence in this regard. What really counts is the willingness of the patient and the professional to start again, perhaps trying to improve or perfect one of the strategies.

2 – Inflammation in implants and risks

Inflammation can occur in a dental implant, manifesting itself as pain, swelling, pain when chewing, bleeding, and even the formation of pus in the implant. Please note that in any area of medicine where an artificial part is used inside the human body, there can be an adverse reaction of rejection.

This rejection phenomenon can occur in relation to the dental implant or an associated material such as a bone graft or a protective membrane. Bacterial infection can also occur in the implants, which can even prevent bone integration.

one of the risks of dental implants is peri implantitis
The implant on the left in the image has inflammatory bone loss, while the implant on the right has a normal bone level

That’s why all treatments at ImplArt begin with a thorough oral cleaning, as well as the removal of any infectious diseases such as cavities and periodontal disease. The patient will only have implant surgery if their mouth is clean and their oral health is good.

This is possible even if the patient doesn’t have all their teeth yet. When the prostheses on implants are finished, we teach the patient how to properly clean the dental implant. This correct hygiene is very important and certainly contributes to the chances of success of the dental implant.

dental specialties
Inflammation in implants leads to aesthetic, gum and bone problems

3 – Risk of facial nerve damage

If the surgery is not well planned, with the use of CT scans and other imaging tests for mapping, damage to the jaw nerve can occur during dental implant surgery. In the area at the back of the mouth in the lower arch, there is a nerve that can be very superficial, especially if the patient has been without teeth for many years.

In patients with advanced periodontal disease, bone loss can also put the nerve at risk due to its proximity. To reduce the risk of nerve damage and paresthesia, the implant dentist will carry out imaging tests. The most commonly requested exam is a panoramic X-ray, but a cone beam CT scan helps to measure the bone and plan the implant.

Computer-guided surgery – reducing risks

To minimize the risks even further, we can perform computer-guided partial or total implant surgery, which offers little invasiveness and allows for perfect positioning of the dental implant, with no room for error.

Crooked or poorly positioned implants can have poor bone integration or even rejection. It is not in all cases that we are able to recover the patient from oral nerve damage or poorly placed implants.

Depending on the severity of the problem, an injury to the jaw nerve can lead to sequelae such as numbness in the jaw or loss of sensation in the tongue or to the sensation of tastes (gustation).

At the ImplArt dental clinic, 100% of cases are operated on with a CT scan, which can be done in our own radiology center.

4 – Risks in the bone around the implants

Bone loss can occur in an implant that has suffered infection while healing in the bone. In addition, in cases where immediate loading is carried out, i.e. a temporary or permanent tooth is placed in position immediately after surgery, there is a greater risk of bone and implant loss.

This is because the newly placed dental implant does not yet have a mature attachment to the bone and needs to rely exclusively on its mechanical locking into the bone in order to fix itself. Most of the time, if the indication and technique are correct, immediate loading works well.

But in cases of immediate failure, the consequences can be serious, for example leading to major bone loss in the area. There are more advanced dental implant models that have improvements to the fit of the tooth and also in the chemistry of the surface so that healing in the bone occurs faster and more efficiently.

Today we have dental implants that allow you to have a permanent tooth in 1 month! Get to know the dental implant models with the best advances, such as Straumann implants, Neodent cone-morse implants (national), SIN implants (national).

5 – Increase in risk factors – patient health and habits

There are risks to the success of implant treatment that don’t depend on the professional or the materials used, but on patient factors. Failure to clean the teeth,smoking and diabetes increase the chance of problems with the dental implant.

In this article, we only discuss the RISKS in dental implants, however the success rates of dental implants are very high, especially for current implant dentistry techniques performed by a dental implant specialist.

Dental implants are an excellent treatment if they are well indicated, planned and executed.

dental implant surgery

What is dental implant surgery like?

Dental implant surgery is not a complicated process. Certainly, with current techniques, it’s a common procedure with no unforeseen problems. Implant surgery can take as little as half an hour in the simplest cases, is done in the clinic, in the implant dentist’s own office, with local anesthesia and the patient feels no pain.

Here at the ImplArt Clinic, we get a lot of questions from patients, especially about how dental implants are done in practice. So, to answer this and other questions about implant surgery, we’ve prepared this article to answer all your doubts about the treatment.

What is the best dental implant?

Today there are various types of dental implant with different technologies and healing times. There are even implants that heal in 30 days, called fast-healing implants, such as the Slactive implant, from the Swiss company Straumann, which is a fast-healing dental implant. In addition to this implant, there is the option of the ceramic implant, the only zirconia implant available on the market that is titanium-free and more biological, making it an excellent option for those who don’t want to have metals installed in their mouths.

This ceramic dental implant option has been increasingly sought after at Clinica Dentaria Implart by patients who want metal-free implant treatment.

Dental implant surgery can also be performed with intravenous sedation, for those patients who have a phobia of dentists, or even for those looking for extra comfort.

Is it dangerous to have dental implants? Dental implant surgery is a more straightforward procedure than you might think

Dental implant surgery is a safe procedure, and increasingly has more modern resources to make it faster and more comfortable. Here at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt, we have modern systems and expertise.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to the implant procedure:

  • Step 1 – The procedure consists of making a small incision in the gum in order to expose the bone bed. The dentist needs to have good access to the area in order to install the implant correctly. If the dental implant surgery is performed with a Surgical Guide, it will be a blunt dental implant surgery
  • Step 2 – Small drills are then used to perforate the bone. The process is carried out in such a way as to progressively expand the cavity so that it can receive the implant of the size selected by the dentist.
  • Step 3 – The implant is then inserted into the cavity and given a protective cap.
  • Step 4 – The area is sutured, or in cases of Guided Surgery, the surgery is completed without the need for stitches.

Are you afraid of dental implant surgery?

Find out what resources are available at the ImplArt Dental Clinic so that you can have a very smooth surgery.

Watch the video below explaining how dental implant surgery is performed:

In the classic implant treatment, the pin is surgically fixed into the bone and then the gum is sutured. The site is left to rest for around one to six months, depending on the type of implant used. The implant screw remains inside the bone tissue and must therefore undergo the osseointegration process, protected from chewing forces and food residue.

Shortly after the waiting period, a small cut is made in the gum and then the implant receives a piece called a healer, this process is called reopening. The implant cap can remain exposed in the mouth while the implant heals. Afterwards, the healer is removed without anesthesia (because it is not necessary), and a metal abutment is adapted to receive the prosthesis.

Recovery from dental implant surgery / after dentalimplants?

During the rest period, the patient can use a temporary prosthesis for day-to-day activities. This also helps prevent bone resorption, which would require the use of bone grafts in the future. In some selected cases, the implant can be inserted without cutting, through a small circular opening made in the gum.

This greatly favors the healing of the area as well as patient comfort. Implant surgery should be performed by a dentist specializing in implant dentistry, who certainly has the experience and knowledge in the field to determine the best treatment for each patient. In order to have a good post-operative period, people who undergo this procedure should follow the dentist’s instructions, take care of their oral hygiene and avoid smoking, which can compromise the success of dental implant treatment.

After dental implant treatment, it is always important to carry out cleaning and prophylaxis every 6 months, as a way of looking after the results achieved and monitoring oral health.

Straumann Implants – Discover the best implants

Straumann implants are considered to be the best dental implants in the world. Based in Basel, Switzerland, Straumann is a world leader in implant dentistry and oral tissue regeneration.

With over 60 years of experience, Straumann has stood out for the excellence of its dental implants. Its products are recognized for their high quality and precision, providing long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results. In addition, the company constantly invests in research and development, seeking to improve its implant technologies and techniques. This makes Straumann implants highly reliable and widely used by dental professionals around the world.

Straumann implants are considered the best dental implants in the world

Straumann implants advantages

In collaboration with leading clinics, research institutes and universities around the world, Straumann has been researching and developing high-techdental 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, both aesthetic and functional.

Straumann implants are manufactured with three basic requirements in mind: reliability (scientific research), simplicity (ease of use) and versatility (diverse applications).

The brand has an extensive range of implants with different sizes, diameters, angles, material composition and surface technologies, which considerably increases the possibilities for rehabilitation in various situations.

Straumann Implants Technologies

Regarding the level of implant positioning compared to the bone and gingiva:

  • Straumann Soft Tissue Level Implants – higher tooth connection implants, at gingival level.
  • Straumann Bone Level Implants bone level implants with internal connection, with the aim of preserving bone and gum tissue, as well as favoring aesthetic results.

Regarding the material that makes up the implant and its healing time

  • PURE Ceramic impl ants – pure white ceramic, zirconia implants that are mainly indicated for the anterior region of the arch. This provides a better aesthetic result for the treatment (estimated healing time = 2 months)*.
  • SLActive implants – implants with surface technology that not only favors but also accelerates the osseointegration process (estimated healing time = 21 days – 1 month)*
  • Roxolid SLA implants implants made with titanium and zirconia reinforcement. They are small in size and highly resistant, making them ideal for patients with little bone volume (estimated healing time = 2 months)*.

* According to the manufacturer. Compliance with the deadline will depend on other factors such as the quality of the bone, the presence or absence of a bone graft, associated tooth extraction, infections at the site and insertion torque.

Straumann Pure ceramic: White ceramic implants, suitable for highly esthetic situations.

Regarding the type of connection between the implant and the dental prosthesis – type of platform

  • Cone Morse connection – a locking system that favors better stability of the tooth and thus prevents it from loosening in the future. In addition, the cone-morse connection promotes a better seal in the implant-tooth connection, reducing infiltration and the number of bacteria around the implant. This effect is known as Platform Switch in scientific literature.

Straumann short implants

Straumann Standard Plus Short (SPS) implants are the shortest implants available on the market (they are only 4mm long) and are especially suitable for patients who, for whatever reason, find themselves with limited bone availability.

dental specialties

The lack of sufficient bone height in the mandible contraindicates the use of normal-length implants, unless this height is first reconstructed with bone grafting. The most common cases that compromise bone availability are:

  • Severe mandibular bone resorption – very common in people who have been edentulous for many years;
  • Poor bone quality; History of periodontal disease;
  • Patients with other medical conditions, such as diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.
  • Poor bone quality;
  • History of periodontal disease;
  • Patients with other medical conditions, such as diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.
  • Severe mandibular bone resorption – very common in people who have been edentulous for many years;
  • Poor bone quality;
  • History of periodontal disease;
  • Patients with other medical conditions, such as diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.

Short implants for difficult rehabilitation cases

These implants give the dentist more confidence to recommend them to patients who were not previously candidates to receive them. They also improve the predictability of treatment and the chances of acceptance.

Because these implants are very versatile for use in patients with compromised bone availability, the indication of bone grafting for vertical reconstruction can be dispensed with in many cases, offering greater peace of mind and speed of treatment. Standard Plus Short implants are indicated for:

  • Fixed partial dentures/units with splint (one implant per unit);
  • Cases of pontics in combination with a longer implant;
  • Totally edentulous cases with at least two SPS implants in combination with two longer implants in the anterior region.

Straumann Standard Plus Short (SPS) implants are made from a titanium-zirconium alloy called Roxolid, which is proven to be stronger and better than pure titanium.

They also have a surface with SLActive technology which facilitates the start and acceleration of the osseointegration process. The indication of this or other dental implant models is subject to professional analysis of each case.

Straumann implants price

It’s common to be asked about the price of Straumann dentalimplants online. However, the price varies according to the clinical indication, the need for grafting or not, the number of implants used and the professional.

That’s why the price of a Straumann dental implant can only be estimated once the patient has been assessed in person. We are talking about the best brand of dental implants, accepted by patients who want the best for their dental treatment.

Tooth replacement in just 1 month with Straumann implants and CAD/CAM crown

In selected cases, it is possible to install a dental implant with a CAD/CAM-designed crown within 1 month. This is possible because the ImplArt Clinic works with Straumann Slactive implants.

These implants have surface technology that favors and accelerates healing and the biological interaction between implants and bone (osseointegration). It’s worth remembering that dental implant surgery doesn’t hurt at all, and that implants can be placed at the same time as the bad tooth is extracted.

Successful osseointegration is certainly what guarantees the stability of the implant to support the prosthesis and the masticatory load over the years. With normal implants, osseointegration usually takes place between 6 and 8 months, while with Straumann Slactive implants the healing time can be reduced to 3 to 4 weeks (21 days).

Temporary prosthesis for healing and aesthetics

During this healing period, the patient wears a temporary prosthesis so that they don’t lose their tooth. In the meantime, our prosthetics laboratory carries out the digital CAD/CAM design and makes the definitive prosthesis using 3D printers.

The project starts with a digital mold that is taken using an intraoral scanner, an intraoral camera that captures precise images inside the patient’s mouth. This way, with these three-dimensional images, it is possible to design a prosthesis with the best fit and perfect shape for each need.

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.

It is worth noting that the possibility of installing a dental implant and definitiveprosthesis in just one month is only possible in selected cases. An assessment by our specialized team will determine this possibility taking into account certain characteristics, such as the volume of bone available and the patient’s general state of health.

Fixed dental prosthesis for Straumann implants

The rapid installation of a dental implant with a permanent crown restores chewing ability, the aesthetics of your smile and the confidence to speak and smile. The decision on which implant is best for you will be made between you and your ImplArt dentist.

bruxism and clenching

Bruxism and Dental Clenching: Understanding the Causes, Symptoms and Treatments According to Dr. Roberto Markarian

Bruxism and Dental Clenching, popularly known as the habit of grinding and dental clenching are dysfunctions that affects around 40% of the Brazilian population, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO). At the ImplArt Clinic, located in São Paulo, this disorder is one of the most frequent complaints from patients seeking treatment for orofacial pain, tooth wear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems.

Dr. Roberto Markarian, director of the ImplArt Clinic, stresses that it is important to emphasize that the treatment of bruxism and clenching must be individualized, taking into account the specific needs of each patient. A consultation with a dental surgeon is essential for a proper diagnosis and definition of the best therapeutic approach. Even patients with dentures and dental implants who suffer from bruxism should seek treatment.

What is bruxism and how does it manifest itself?

Bruxism can occur both during sleep(nocturnal bruxism) and while awake(daytime bruxism). In both cases, the patient performs the unconscious act of grinding or clenching their teeth with excessive force, causing consequences such as pain in the jaw, temples, etc.

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, specialist in implant dentistry and clinical director of ImplArt,

“Bruxism is often silent and is only noticed when the symptoms become more intense. These include jaw pain, headaches, tooth wear and fractures in restorations or dentures and even dental implants.”

Main causes of Bruxism and Dental Clenching

Bruxism and dental clenching are associated with multiple factors, including:

  • Emotional stress and anxiety
  • Changes in sleep (such as apnea)
  • Dental malocclusion
  • Use of medication such as antidepressants
  • Neurological or muscular problems

Dental clenching, on the other hand, is a form of bruxism in which the patient keeps their teeth pressed together without lateral movements, and is equally harmful.

BRUXISM AND dental CLENCHING
Pain caused by bruxism and dental clenching

Most common symptoms

  • Tooth wear or fracture
  • Pain or tiredness in the chewing muscles
  • TMJ clicking
  • Headaches, especially on waking
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Insomnia or non-restorative sleep

Personalized diagnosis at the ImplArt Clinic for Bruxism and Dental Clenching

The ImplArt Clinic carries out the diagnosis by means of a detailed clinical assessment, imaging tests (such as CT scans and intraoral scans) and functional analysis of the bite. Dr. Markarian highlights:

“In many cases, bruxism is discovered during planning for dental implants, dental contact lenses or oral rehabilitation, as signs of wear are visible on the tooth surfaces. That’s why a multidisciplinary approach is essential.”

Effective treatments for bruxism and clenching

The treatment of bruxism is very specific and often multidisciplinary, as it is usually linked to the patient’s mental state, in the vast majority of cases. Given that modern lifestyles are accompanied by a great deal of stress, it is important to find out the reasons that trigger the symptoms and try to treat them.

Major-relaxing bite plates or occlusal plates

Miorelaxing bite plates are removable intraoral devices, usually made of acrylic resin, which cover the surfaces of the teeth. Their purpose is to protect the teeth from damage caused by clenching or grinding and to reduce the associated muscle sensitivity. The use of these plates can reduce the activity of the masticatory muscles, helping to relieve the symptoms of bruxism. At the ImplArt Clinic, myorelaxing bite plates are made and designed using modern computer graphics systems to study the patient’s ideal bite.

  • Major-relaxing bite plates: Custom-made devices used during sleep, usually made of acrylic resin, which cover the surfaces of the teeth.
  • They reduce tooth wear and relieve muscle tension.

💉 Botulinum toxin (Botox)

The application of botulinum toxin type A to the masticatory muscles, such as the masseter, has been used to reduce the excessive muscle activity associated with bruxism. This approach can relieve pain and muscle discomfort, improving symptoms.

  • Applied to the masticatory muscles to reduce the force of clenching.
  • Effective results for up to 6 months.

💊 Medicines

In some cases, medication may be indicated to control bruxism. Muscle relaxants can be prescribed to reduce muscle activity during sleep. In addition, in specific situations, anxiolytics or antidepressants can be used, always under medical supervision.

  • Muscle relaxants or anxiolytics (when indicated by health professionals).
  • Relief of symptoms related to pain and tension.

🧘 Complementary therapies

Bruxism is often associated with stress and anxiety. Cognitive-behavioral therapies, relaxation techniques, meditation and other psychological approaches can be effective in reducing bruxism episodes, especially when emotional factors are involved.

  • Psychotherapy, relaxation techniques, mindfulness and physiotherapy.
  • Treatment of the emotional or postural cause of bruxism.

Occlusal rehabilitation

In cases where there is occlusal interference or bite problems, occlusal adjustment may be indicated. This procedure aims to correct inadequate dental contacts that may contribute to bruxism. In addition, dental rehabilitation, including restorations and prostheses, may be necessary to restore proper bite function.

  • Adjustments to the bite or replacement of missing teeth with prostheses or implants.
  • In advanced cases, occlusion correction is essential.

Is it possible to eliminate bruxism and dental clenching?

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, it is important to emphasize that in order to mitigate the effects of bruxism, multidisciplinary treatment should be adopted, with a view to the patient’s well-being in a holistic way, i.e. treating the individual as a whole and not just from a dental point of view.

If we think only of a bruxism plate, what is expected is an immediate reduction in the symptoms of bruxism, but the plate itself will not cure bruxism and teeth clenching. The bite plate helps to redistribute the pressure on all the teeth, protecting the teeth from the force of the bite and easing the patient’s pain.

With this in mind, the ImplArt Clinic offers patients who need Porcelain Crowns and Protocol Prostheses, and who suffer from bruxism, the option of using Zirconia Prostheses. Zirconia is a highly resistant and biocompatible material that is very suitable for those who suffer from bruxism precisely because of its high resistance.

When Bruxism and Dental Clenching are not treated

Untreated bruxism can lead to:

  • Loss of tooth structure
  • Need for rehabilitation with dental implants or fixed prostheses
  • Chronic pain in the temporomandibular joint
  • Aesthetic impairment of the smile

Dr. Markarian adds:

“We have seen several patients who, after years of untreated bruxism, suffer from constant headaches and tooth wear. In addition, intensive clenching can lead to tooth fractures and even dental prostheses such as implant protocols.”

Schedule your evaluation at the ImplArt Clinic

If you feel pain in the jaw joint, or even notice that your teeth are wearing down, schedule an evaluation with Dr. Roberto Markarian, director of the ImplArt Clinic. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can prevent serious consequences for your oral health.

composite veneers are not good

The Dangers of the Resin Veneer Trend in Young People

The popularity of resin veneers has increased significantly among young people in recent years. This trend, which has become a real trend, arouses curiosity and the desire to improve the appearance of the teeth. However, it is essential to be aware of the dangers involved in this procedure.

Resin veneers are thin sheets of aesthetic material placed on the surface of teeth to correct imperfections such as stains, misalignment and irregularities. Although they can provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance, you need to understand the risks to your oral health and consider carefully before going down this route.

In this series of articles, we’ll explore the dangers of resin veneers in young people and help you make an informed decision about this procedure. We’ll talk about the possible risks involved, the impacts on long-term oral health and the alternatives available. In addition, we will highlight the importance of a consultation with a qualified professional and post-procedure care so that you are prepared and aware before following this trend. We will also show you other treatment options such as tooth whitening and Porcelain Contact Lenses, which are considered a more durable and aesthetically superior treatment option. They can also be combined with other treatments such as dental implants.

Check out the following articles for complete and relevant information on resin veneers in young people, ensuring that you are well informed before making any decisions.

What is a resin veneer?

Resin veneers are a dental procedure that consists of applying thin layers of composite resin to the teeth to improve their aesthetic appearance. These veneers are a popular option for correcting dental imperfections such as stains, chips or misalignment.

To place the resin veneers on the teeth, the dentist removes a small amount of tooth enamel to ensure that the veneers fit correctly. The resin is then carefully applied to the teeth and molded to obtain the desired shape. Finally, the resin is polished to provide a natural, long-lasting finish.

Resin veneers are a popular option for correcting dental imperfections such as stains, chips or misalignment due to their low cost and speed of execution.

*Learn about the differences between resin veneers and porcelain veneers: Differences between dental contact lenses and resin veneers

How is the Resin Veneer made?

The application of resin veneers is a simple and minimally invasive procedure that can be carried out in just a few dental appointments. This technique offers satisfactory aesthetic results and can significantly improve an individual’s smile. They can even be performed in conjunction with dental implants for patients who need them on other teeth.

*To find out more about implants, visit: 7 Crucial Questions About Dental Implants

The material used in resin veneers is usually composite resin, which is a resistant and versatile material. Composite resin can be manipulated by the dentist to perfectly match the color and shape of the natural teeth, providing a harmonious and natural look to the smile.

It’s important to note that resin veneers can be a temporary solution, as they may need to be replaced over time due to natural wear and possible discoloration. Resin is a material that acquires pigmentation over time, turning yellowish. This does not happen with porcelain contact lenses, as porcelain always remains the same color and shape.

Growing popularity among young people

The practice of using resin veneers has gained significant popularity among young people in recent years. This trend has been driven by a variety of reasons, ranging from the search for an aesthetically appealing smile to the influence of social media and celebrities.

With the growing importance of physical appearance in today’s society, many young people are looking to improve their smile and self-confidence. Resin veneers offer a relatively affordable and quick solution for correcting dental imperfections such as stains, slight misalignments and small gaps between teeth.

Unlike other more complex dental procedures, such as implants or braces, resin veneers require less time and no drastic interventions. This makes resin veneers more attractive to young people who want a quick and efficient makeover.

However, young people should be aware of the potential risks and impacts of this dental procedure before making an informed decision. First of all, they should thoroughly assess the real need for an intervention on a healthy tooth and the long-term consequences and complications.

Risks involved with resin veneers in young people

Resin veneers have gained popularity among young people, but it is important to be aware of the risks involved in this procedure. Although it is a non-invasive method of improving the appearance of teeth, there are possible complications and side effects that should be considered.

One of the risks associated with resin veneers is the possibility of developing tooth sensitivity. As veneers involve removing a small amount of tooth enamel, teeth can become more sensitive to cold or hot temperatures. This can cause discomfort when eating or drinking food and drinks at different temperatures.

In addition, young people who opt for resin veneers can also face bite adjustment problems. If the veneers are not designed correctly or placed in an inappropriate position, this can affect the way the teeth fit together when closing the mouth. This can lead to chewing problems, jaw pain and even speech problems.

Another risk of resin veneers is excessive wear on the teeth. Due to the material used in veneers, such as composite resin, teeth can wear down faster than normal. This can result in irreversible damage to the teeth and require additional dental treatment in the future, possibly leading to tooth loss and the need for dental implants.

It is essential that young people are aware of these risks before opting for resin veneers. Consulting a dentist specializing in cosmetic dentistry is essential for a complete assessment of oral health and determining whether the procedure is appropriate for each specific case.

Although resin veneers can provide a significant aesthetic improvement, it is important to weigh up the potential risks. Young people should seek adequate information and make an informed decision about the procedure.” – Dr. Roberto Markarian, ImplArt Clinic.

Reversibility of resin veneers

In this section, we will explore whether resin veneers can be removed and whether it is possible to reverse their effects. It is important that readers are aware of the procedures involved in removing resin veneers and the options available.

Resin veneers are reversible, which means that they can be removed if necessary or desired. However, the removal of resin veneers requires the knowledge and skill of a qualified dentist.

There are different methods for removing resin veneers, depending on the type of adhesive used in their initial placement. The dentist can use techniques such as mechanical removal, using special drills, or chemical removal, using specific solvents.

It is important to note that removing resin veneers can result in damage to the teeth, such as loss of enamel or small fractures. It is therefore essential to seek the advice of a qualified professional before opting to remove veneers.

“Resin veneers should be removed by an experienced dentist to ensure safety and minimize the risk of damage to natural teeth.” – Dr. Roberto Markarian

If the patient decides to remove the resin veneers, it may be necessary to plan additional treatment to restore the appearance and functionality of the teeth. The dentist will be able to evaluate other options, such as dental crowns or dental contact lenses, to achieve the desired result.

In conclusion, resin veneers are reversible and can be removed by a qualified dentist. However, it is essential to consider the potential risks and the impact on oral health before making the decision to remove them.

Removal methodsDescription
Mechanical removalUse of special drills to separate the resin veneers from the natural teeth.
Chemical removalApplication of specific solvents to weaken adhesion between resin veneers and natural teeth.

Alternatives to resin veneers

For those who want to improve the appearance of their teeth, there are alternatives to resin veneers. In addition to the resin veneers procedure, there are other dental treatments available that can give stunning aesthetic results.

Dental Contact Lenses

One of the popular alternatives to resin veneers are dental contact lenses. These ultra-thin porcelain veneers are applied to the surface of the teeth, providing a natural appearance and a perfect smile. Dental contact lenses or porcelain veneers are ideal for correcting imperfections such as stains, spacing between teeth and misaligned teeth. Contact lenses remain the same over time, without changing shape or color.

Dental crowns

Another option is dental crowns, which are protective caps placed over a damaged, discolored or worn tooth. As well as improving the appearance, dental crowns can also strengthen and protect teeth. Crowns are made from porcelain, metal or a combination of materials, depending on the needs of each patient. However, it is important to note that dental crowns are indicated for teeth that are already compromised and weakened.

The importance of a consultation with a qualified professional

A consultation with a specialist in aesthetic dentistry provides an accurate assessment of the dental condition and offers fundamental information for making an informed decision about resin veneers. At Clínica ImplArt, considered the best dental clinic in São Paulo, each case is assessed individually by Dr. Roberto Markarian, taking into account the patient’s general oral health and identifying whether this is the most suitable option for improving the appearance of the teeth.

Dr. Markarian addresses all treatment options. Alternatives to resin veneers are evaluated, presenting other treatment options that can meet the patient’s needs and achieve desired results, such as dental contact lenses and laser whitening.

Post-procedure care

After placing resin veneers, it is essential to follow specific precautions to ensure the durability and success of the procedure. Good oral hygiene and some additional care are recommended to avoid complications and maintain a healthy smile.

Daily oral hygiene

It is important to brush your teeth at least twice a day, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and suitable toothpaste. In addition, it is recommended to floss daily to remove plaque and food debris from between the teeth.

Avoid pigmented foods and drinks as they may stain the Resin Veneer

Foods and drinks with intense coloring, such as coffee, tea, soft drinks, red wine and dark sauces, can stain resin veneers over time. It is advisable to avoid excessive consumption of these products or, if consumed, to perform immediate oral hygiene after ingestion.

Avoid biting hard objects

Avoiding biting hard objects such as pens or opening packages with your teeth is essential to prevent damage to resin veneers. These habits can cause cracks, chips or even the veneers to peel off, compromising the aesthetic result achieved.

Regular visits to the dentist

It is essential to keep regular visits to the dentist, usually every six months, for professional assessments and cleanings. During these appointments, the professional will be able to check the integrity of the resin veneers, ensuring that they are in good condition and carrying out any necessary adjustments or repairs.

Post-procedure careRecommendations
Daily oral hygieneBrush your teeth twice a day, floss daily.
Avoid pigmented foods and drinksAvoid excessive consumption of coffee, tea and red wine, among others, or clean your mouth immediately after drinking them.
Avoid biting hard objectsDon’t bite hard objects like pens or open packages with your teeth.
Regular visits to the dentistKeep appointments every six months for professional evaluations and cleanings.

Regular check-ups and professional monitoring

Once the resin veneers have been fitted, it is crucial to have regular check-ups with a qualified dentist. During these appointments, the professional will assess the condition of the veneers, the health of the underlying teeth and carry out any necessary cleaning and adjustments. Regular check-ups make it possible to identify and treat any problems before they become more serious.

In addition, regular check-ups help to monitor the correct adaptation of the resin veneers and check that there is no wear or improper fit. These assessments also allow the dentist to detect any signs of complication, such as infiltrations or damage to adjacent teeth, ensuring the longevity of the veneers and overall oral health.

It is recommended that regular check-ups take place every six months, or as advised by the dentist, allowing for proper monitoring and the opportunity to make adjustments or correct problems early on.

The importance of professional support

In addition to regular check-ups, it is essential to have professional follow-up care throughout the process. During follow-up appointments, the dentist will be able to answer any questions or concerns the patient may have, offer specific guidance on oral hygiene and provide personalized care according to individual needs.

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, professional follow-up is also an opportunity for the dentist to identify any signs of excessive wear, adjust the bite if necessary and provide valuable tips for maintaining the long-term health of the veneers and teeth.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it is crucial that young people carefully consider the dangers associated with resin veneers before joining this aesthetic trend. Although they can provide a temporary attractive appearance, these veneers also pose risks to oral health in the long term.

We strongly recommend that those interested in resin veneer procedures seek adequate information and consult a qualified professional before making a decision. It is essential to understand the possible side effects, complications and impacts on oral health before going ahead with the procedure.

In addition, there are alternatives available to improve the appearance of the teeth, such as dental contact lenses and dental crowns. Treatments can be carried out alongside dental implants or other oral rehabilitation procedures. It is important to explore all the options and seek the advice of a specialist in aesthetic dentistry.

Our mission at the ImplArt Clinic is to inform, guide and offer the best alternatives for each patient, always prioritizing long-term oral health. Aesthetics are important, but they must never compromise the function and integrity of the teeth.

Before following any trend, I recommend seeking out a qualified professional who can present an individualized treatment plan based on a complete diagnosis. In this way, we guarantee not only a beautiful smile, but also a healthy and long-lasting one.” says Dr. Roberto Markarian, Clinical Director of the ImplArt Clinic.

Full Arch Dental Implants with Zirconia Bridge (All-on-4 / All-on-X)

Learn how to restore your smile comfortably, safely, and aesthetically through dental implant treatment with a protocol prosthesis

The complete loss of teeth in one arch compromises essential functions such as chewing, speech, and the aesthetics of the smile. This condition can profoundly affect quality of life and self-esteem. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers effective solutions for these cases, notably full-arch dental implants with a zirconia prosthesis—a treatment that restores functionality, aesthetics, and well-being to the patient. We currently offer the modern option of Zirconia Full Arch Dental Implants, which provide a highly natural-looking final result.

At ImplArt Clinic, a leading center for advanced oral rehabilitation in São Paulo, this treatment is performed with excellence by Dr. Roberto Markarian, a specialist in implant dentistry with over 25 years of clinical experience and numerous internationally recognized scientific publications.

“Full-mouth rehabilitation using dental implants and a full arch prosthesis is the most modern, safe, and long-lasting way to restore the smile and quality of life of patients who have lost all their teeth in one arch,” says Dr. Roberto Markarian.

How is a Full Mouth Dental Implants Treatment done?

A dental implant with a full arch prosthesis, also known as All-on-four or All-on-X, is an oral rehabilitation technique that uses 4 to 8 implants per arch, strategically placed in the maxillary or mandibular bone, to support a full mouth prosthesis—a complete fixed prosthesis that functionally and aesthetically replaces all missing teeth.

Unlike removable dentures, a fixed prosthesis is screw-retained to the implants, providing stability, security, and a natural feel when speaking, smiling, and chewing.

“The main advantage of the protocol prosthesis is that it restores the patient’s sense of having fixed teeth again, with comfort and confidence,” explains Dr. Markarian.

Precise Planning with Guided Surgery for Full Arch Dental Implants

One of the key features that sets ImplArt Clinic apart is its use of computerized surgical guides, which allow for minimally invasive dental implant surgery without incisions in the gums. The technique utilizes 3D imaging and intraoral scanning to guide the placement of implants with millimeter-level precision.

“With guided surgery, we are able to perform the implant procedure without incisions or stitches, which reduces swelling and pain and significantly speeds up the patient’s recovery,” notes Dr. Roberto Markarian.

This technology even allows for immediate loading, where the patient leaves the operating room with a fixed temporary prosthesis, accelerating the benefits of treatment from day one.

Dental Implants with Zirconia Prosthetics: High-Performance Strength and Aesthetics

For permanent restorations, ImplArt Clinic offers monolithic zirconia crowns, a state-of-the-art material that is extremely durable, biocompatible, and has a highly natural appearance.

Zirconia has truly revolutionized the aesthetics and durability of all-ceramic restorations. Patients end up with a beautiful, natural-looking smile that lasts,” notes Dr. Markarian.

Zirconia stands out for its wear resistance, metal-free structure, and translucency similar to that of natural teeth—making it ideal for those seeking the best possible aesthetic result.

Benefits of Dental Implants with a Full-Arch Bridges

  • Stability and Comfort: Fixed dentures eliminate shifting, discomfort, and the need for adhesives, which are common with removable dentures.
  • Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the bone, preventing the bone resorption that occurs after tooth loss.
  • Natural Aesthetics with Zirconia: Custom-made dental restorations that look just like natural teeth.
  • Improved Chewing: Allows you to chew all types of food safely.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: Thanks to the surgical guide, the procedure is quick and recovery is easier.

Step-by-Step: Upper Full Arch Dental Implants and Lower Full Arch Implant-Supported Bridge

  1. Digital Assessment and Planning: Using imaging tests (such as CT scans and intraoral scans), it is possible to precisely plan the position of the implants.
  2. Surgery Using a Surgical Guide or Conventional Implant Surgery: Implants are inserted using a minimally invasive technique, without incisions. The implant placement sites are planned using computer-aided design and digital tomography. In the case of conventional implant surgery, 4 to 6 implants are inserted by implantologist Dr. Roberto Markarian.
  3. Healing (Osseointegration): The bone fuses with the implants, ensuring the stability of the dental implants and preparing them to support the dental prosthesis.
  4. Placement of the Permanent Prosthesis: The temporary prosthesis is fabricated after the implants have healed, which can take 2 to 4 months, depending on the type of dental implant used.

In some cases, the patient may receive a fixed temporary prosthesis on the same day as the surgery, which offers significant functional and emotional benefits.

Clinical and Scientific Excellence

The success of dental implant and prosthetic treatment depends on factors such as the patient’s overall health, bone density, and, above all, the experience of the treating team.

Dr. Roberto Markarian, clinical director at ImplArt, is the author of important studies in the field, such as the article published in the international Journal of Prosthodontics, which examines the stresses on fixed prostheses with different types of implants:

Conclusion on Full Arch Dental Implants with Zirconia Fixed Bridge

Full-mouth dental implants with Zirconia Fixed prosthesis are the most modern, effective, and long-lasting solution for those who wish to fully restore their dental arch with exceptional functional and aesthetic results. Using digital technology, innovative materials such as zirconia, and the technical and scientific expertise of Dr. Roberto Markarian, ImplArt Clinic offers a treatment of excellence that transforms lives through smiles.

Digital dentistry uses tools such as intraoral scanners, 3D imaging, and CAD/CAM planning to improve precision and predictability. For dental implants, this helps optimize implant positioning, prosthesis fit, and the overall efficiency of treatment.

5) How much do dental implants cost in Brazil?

In Brazil, dental implant costs vary widely because treatment is individualized. The total depends on diagnosis, number of implants, bone conditions, technique, and prosthesis type/material and of course, the specialist.

6) How much do dental implants cost in Brazil at ImplArt Clinic?

At ImplArt, we provide a personalized plan and quote based on your evaluation and digital planning. Pricing can also vary depending on the surgeon’s expertise and experience, since implant dentistry is technique-sensitive. Our treatments are led by Dr. Roberto Markarian, PhD, supported by a state-of-the-art digital workflow designed for predictability.

7) Which dental implant brands do you use at ImplArt Clinic?

We use internationally recognized implant systems such as Straumann, Neodent, and SIN. The best choice for your case depends on your anatomy, clinical needs, and prosthetic defined during your evaluation.

8) Cost of full mouth dental implants in Brazil. What´s the cost of Full-Arch Dental implants or All-on-four, All-on-6, All-on X at ImplArt?

“Full mouth” can mean one arch or both arches. In many full-arch cases, we can rehabilitate a full arch supported by 4 to 6 implants, depending on anatomy, safety parameters, and the prosthetic plan. The cost depends on the type of implant and prosthesis chosen. We offer modern dental implants, such as Straumann iExcel, and Zirconia Prosthesis, the state-of-art in Full-Arch Dental implants.

9) What is the cost of full mouth dental implants in Brazil at ImplArt?

Full mouth costs depend on whether one or two arches are treated, the number of implants, need for grafting, and prosthesis choice (including premium options like zirconia). After evaluation, we provide a detailed plan with a clear breakdown of what is included.

10) Cost comparison for dental implants: U.S. vs Brazil. How should I compare?

We recommend an “apples-to-apples” comparison: same diagnosis/complexity, same implant system/components, same prosthesis material (zirconia vs hybrid), and the same level of diagnostics and planning. Only then does a U.S. vs Brazil cost comparison become meaningful.

11) Are Brazilian dental implant materials FDA approved equivalents?

In Brazil, implants and dental materials are regulated by ANVISA. “FDA-approved” usually refers to products marketed in the U.S., while in Brazil the key is regulatory compliance and traceability. In our clinic, we only use systems with proper documentation and traceable components, and we explain what is used in your case.
