What are bone grafts?

Bone grafts are techniques to supplement the bone lost in the patient’s jaw. They can be performed simultaneously with the insertion of the dental implant, or require a healing period. Each indication will depend on an analysis of the patient’s case. But rest assured, today’s bone grafting techniques are very modern and painless for the patient. The results are certainly worth it because dental implants are the best solution for restoring missing teeth!

Know everything about dental bone grafts

Bone grafts are used to reconstruct the area that has lost height or thickness

In some cases, it is not possible to place dental implants without first doing bone grafts. People who have lost one or more teeth due to accidents or extractions always think about reconstructing their dental arch in order to smile without embarrassment and for this, dental implant placement is certainly an excellent option.

When people lose their teeth and don’t replace them immediately, they experience bone resorption. As a result, the bone in the area becomes thinner and taller, or has defects in its shape. In the upper jaw, the size of the maxillary sinus can increase, which in principle prevents implants from being placed. In addition, with tooth loss, expressions become limited, the mouth shrivels, chewing becomes difficult and speech can also be altered.

In this way , bone grafting serves to rebuild enough structure to allow the implant to be made, restoring the lost volume to the atrophied bone. For this technique, the dentist can use the patient’s own bone material, taken from the mouth (for small reconstructions) or taken from other sites, such as the hip bone (iliac) and skull cap (for large extensions).

There are different bone grafting techniques, each with its own particularities

In the case of smaller, more common grafts, the bone grafting procedure can be done in the office using local anesthesia. For larger areas, the surgical intervention is performed in a hospital by a larger, multidisciplinary team under general anesthesia. The patient does not lose teeth while the bone graft heals.

It is also possible to use a xenogenous bone graft crystal, when the bone comes from animals (freeze-dried bovine bone – Genox or Bioss), human bone from bone banks (bone transplant) or synthetic vitreous materials (synthetic hydroxyapatite). However, the most easily regenerated material is bone graft taken from the person themselves (autogenous bone).

Types of bone graft materials

The procedure can be carried out in fragments or as a block. Many people are afraid of undergoing a bone graft, but in fact the procedure can be very simple. All the materials are biosecure and undergo strict controls to prevent contamination.

Smaller bone grafts are non-invasive and can be used to supplement the bone around a newly placed implant. However, in people who have lost their teeth many years ago, larger bone grafts may be necessary. ImplArt’s philosophy is to avoid bone grafts and has mastered alternative techniques such as:

Short implants
Implant + simultaneousgraft
All on four” technique for full arches
Inclined implants
Surgeries with surgical ultrasound (piezo)

Bone loss: causes

Bone loss can occur for a number of reasons, but the most common is tooth loss or extraction without immediate replacement. When a person loses their teeth, the body resorbs the bone in the maxilla or mandible because it understands that the bone no longer has a function (which was to provide support for the teeth). This loss is progressive and over the years the person has little bone volume in terms of height and width, which at first makes it difficult to place dental implants.

upper arch bone grafts — What are bone grafts?

Maxillary sinus lift or sinus lift

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure for bone grafting in the posterior region of the upper jaw. The aim is to increase the amount of bone in height so that a longer dental implant can be placed.

When a person loses one or more teeth in the upper arch, there is a loss of bone in height and the maxillary sinus shrinks (fig.1). The procedure is carried out in this way: First, a small opening is made in the gum in the lateral region of the bone defect (fig.2).

A variable amount of bone regeneration precursor material is then placed inside this opening (figs.3,4). The surgery is quick and usually takes no more than 30 minutes with an experienced surgeon. Bone regeneration takes between 4 and 9 months (fig.5), and then the implants are placed (fig.6), but radiographic examinations are carried out beforehand to check the progress of bone regeneration.

Materials used in bone grafts

Nowadays we have a variety of materials that can be used for bone grafts in the maxillary sinus:

Bovine freeze-dried bone – Genox
Autogenous bone (from the person)
Synthetic hydroxyapatite (bone precursor)
Bone bank homologous bone (bone transplant)
Synthetic vitreous materials – Bioss
Grafts with biological stimulators such as fibrin (PRF), platelets (PRP), or bone proteins (BMP)

Studies show that all materials are favorable for this type of graft, depending only on the surgeon’s preference.

Zirconia is the Most Modern Material for Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis with Dental Implants

Zirconia is the most modern material for dental prostheses today, even for full arch implant prostheses. 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, as it is made from a solid block of Zirconia that is shaped into a dental prosthesis using a modern computerized system. In the ImplArt Clinic’s digital prosthesis laboratory, impressive robotic arms, present in modern milling equipment, are responsible for sculpting the prosthesis design previously drawn up on the computer.

It’s certainly a very modern system that allows you to achieve aesthetically superior results in a more agile, fast and precise way.

This set of factors certainly makes Zirconia the most modern material for full arch prostheses, fixed prostheses and dental crowns.

Below is the result of a treatment with a Zirconia full arch prosthesis for a patient who came all the way from the United States to undergo treatment at the ImplArt Clinic.

What are the characteristics of the Zirconia prosthesis?

There are several reasons why zirconia is the most modern material for making dental prostheses:

Aesthetics: Zirconia prostheses are highly aesthetic and can be customized to mimic the natural appearance of teeth, with a translucency similar to that of tooth enamel. In addition, Zirconia does not fade or discolor over time, which guarantees a long-lasting aesthetic result.
Biocompatibility: Zirconia is a biocompatible material, which means that it doesn’t cause allergic reactions or inflammation in the patient’s soft tissue or bone. This is especially important for prostheses on dental implants, where the integration of the implant with the bone is crucial to the success of the treatment.
Resistance: Zirconia combines beauty and resistance, which guarantees its long-term durability. It has a high resistance to fracture and wear, which is important for dental prostheses that need to withstand chewing and the forces of the mouth.
Precision: Zirconia can be manufactured with high precision in our digital prosthetics laboratory thanks to CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology. This guarantees a precise fit and a restoration that fits perfectly with the dental implants and adjacent teeth.
Hygiene: Zirconia is a material that does not accumulate plaque, which means it is easier to clean and keep hygienic than other denture materials.

In short, Zirconia is a modern and advanced material for protocol prostheses on dental implants, offering a unique combination of aesthetics, biocompatibility , strength, precision and hygiene. Of course, it’s important to remember that the choice of prosthesis material must be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the dentist, taking into account the individual needs and characteristics of each patient. But don’t worry, this will be covered in your initial consultation with the clinical director of the ImplArt Dental Clinic, Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist.

Total implant with Zirconia Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis, how does it work?

Total implant treatment, also known as“all-on-four” or “all-on-six”, is a technique in which dental implants are installed in the mouth to support a complete prosthesis that replaces all the teeth in a dental arch. This type of treatment is especially useful for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, as it allows for a complete restoration of chewing function and aesthetics. It is certainly a rehabilitative treatment, as it allows the patient to get rid of the use of removable prostheses, the old dentures.

The full arch implant prosthesis is a fixed prosthesis on dental implants that can be used to replace all the teeth in an arch. The prosthesis is fixed to the implants with screws or cemented into position, and can only be removed by the dentist for maintenance. The fixed implant prosthesis is a great option for patients looking for an aesthetic and functional restoration, as it is comfortable, durable and offers a natural appearance.

Zirconia is the most modern material for Full Mouth Reconstruction with dental implants

Zirconia is a material widely used in dental implant protocol prostheses due to its aesthetic properties, resistance and biocompatibility. Zirconia complete arch prostheses are a more advanced option compared to other materials such as acrylic, as they offer a more natural appearance and greater durability. In addition, Zirconia is highly resistant to stains and abrasion, which means that the prosthesis can maintain its color and shape over time.

The Zirconia full arch prosthesis also allows for a more precise fit and a more comfortable adaptation, thanks to CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology, which allows for more precise and personalized manufacturing of the prosthesis. This means that the Zirconia protocol prosthesis can be perfectly adjusted to the dental implants and the space available in the patient’s mouth, providing an ideal aesthetic and functional restoration.

In addition, we should mention that the use of these 3D resources allows the entire treatment to be carried out without the old putty molds, which were so uncomfortable and became obsolete with the arrival of Zirconia. In this way, the entire treatment is carried out using a 3D digital scanner, which is the starting point for designing the new smile.

In summary, the Zirconia All-on-X prosthesis is an excellent option for patients who need a complete restoration of the dental arch, offering a natural appearance, durability and comfort, as well as precision of fit and ideal adaptation. Undeniably, all these characteristics make Zirconia the most modern material for protocol prostheses, dental crowns or fixed prostheses.

This is followed by implant surgery, where the implants are placed in the patient’s mouth. After a period of osseointegration, in which the implants integrate with the bone, the Zirconia protocol prosthesis is installed.

The prosthesis is manufactured using CAD/CAM technology, which allows for a precise fit and ideal adaptation. The zirconia used in the prosthesis is of high quality, resistance and aesthetics, guaranteeing a long-lasting and natural result. The prosthesis is fixed to the implants with screws or cemented in position, providing optimum stability and security.

Planning for dental implants – how is it done by the dentist

How the Dental Implant Procedure is planned

Improve your quality of life and self-esteem with dental implants

Dental implants must be planned by a specialist in order to achieve the desired success. Initially, when studying dental implants, examinations are carried out in order to:

Planning the final aesthetics of the dental prosthesis.
Finding out if there is enough bone for the implant.
Check for diseases that may contraindicate implants.
Estimate whether it will be possible to immediately load the implants (place a fixed provisional).
Plan the sites for inserting the implants, as well as their size (short or normal implants or zygomatic implants), diameter, quantity and inclination.
Ensure that the correct number of implants is placed (between 1 and 8 implants).
Imagining the best strategy for oral rehabilitation in conjunction with the prosthetics laboratory.
Check which materials are best for finishing dental prostheses.
Decide according to the patient’s general health whether the implant procedure will be done in the office or in hospital.
Intraoral examinations to determine current dental conditions. The examinations mainly involve casts to analyze the arch, X-rays and CT scans.
Digital panoramic radiography and computed tomography make it possible to observe general oral conditions and a detailed analysis of the bone and adjacent structures such as nerves, maxillary sinuses and teeth. These examinations can be carried out at ImplArt Odontologia (at a separate cost).

What resources can dentists use to plan implants?

It is important to explain that the dentist uses photos, examinations and clinical assessment in an integrated manner for precise dental implant planning.

Initial Photos: Photos of the mouth and smile at the start of treatment capture the oral anatomy and help to visualize the general condition of the mouth, including the position of adjacent teeth and facial aesthetics.
Radiographic examinations: Panoramic radiographs and CT scans also offer a three-dimensional view, allowing bone quality to be assessed, anatomical structures to be identified and pathologies to be detected.
Clinical Evaluation: Detailed intraoral examinations reveal more in-depth periodontal conditions, the presence of infections and specific characteristics of the oral tissue, providing crucial information for implant success.
Precise measurements: Using specific measurement software, the professional assesses the thickness and height of the available bone, thus ensuring the proper selection of the implant.
Virtual Planning: Specialized software allows for virtual simulations, making it easier to choose the ideal position for the implants, considering aesthetics and function.

The combination of these elements also allows the dentist to carry out personalized planning, increasing the predictability and success of the dental implant procedure.

Planning is important for successful dental implant treatment

Dental implants are performed in the dentist’s office under local anesthesia, with care and attention from the implant dentist. Even those who are afraid of the dentist can have bone implants without any problem. Titanium implants are placed inside the bone and you have to wait three to six months for osseointeraction (calcification of the implant in the bone).

Once healing has taken place, the patient can wear a temporary prosthesis which allows them to better maintain their daily activities and also prevents the process of bone resorption (when the area is left without teeth for a long time, it can lose bone volume). Also during this period, the dentist makes the molds for the fixed dental prosthesis that will be placed after the implants have osseointegrated.

Temporary prosthesis for dental implants – planning

Despite the initial discomfort due to the implants and also the temporary prosthesis, the patient should wear it most of the time to facilitate adaptation. At first, the patient may feel nauseous, produce more saliva than usual and their pronunciation may also be strange. Of course, any discomfort in the meantime is temporary and must be overcome in order to achieve the best possible result.

However, in some cases, the dentist may opt to carry out the immediate loading procedure, in which the temporary prosthesis is fixed immediately after the implants are placed. This takes a maximum of 72 hours and, like all treatments, must be planned in advance to avoid problems in the future.

Permanent fixed prosthesis for implants

Finally, a permanent prosthesis will be fixed a few months after the implants have healed and the person will experience a significant improvement in chewing, quality of life and the aesthetics of their smile. The materials for the permanent prosthesis can also be chosen by the patient together with the dentist.

There are several options for implant materials, especially in the case of full arches, the so-called protocol prosthesis. Contact our clinic or make an appointment if you have any questions about the treatment, average price or techniques. We’ll be happy to help you!

Immediate loading – Indications and planning

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

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

How is immediate loading surgery with dental implants performed?

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

Sufficient torque (greater than 35 N.cm)
Long implant (longer than 11 mm)
Implant with sufficient diameter: Larger than 3.75 mm
Planning a prosthesis compatible with the implant‘s ability to withstand forces
Sufficient number of implants
Good distribution of implants in the arch
Patient without bruxism symptoms
People without symptoms of diseases that compromise tissue and bone healing (e.g. diabetes)
Non-smoking patient (smoking greatly reduces the chance of implant success)

Learn more about immediate loading

immediately loaded implant — Immediate loading means that the implant will be loaded with the crown as soon as it is inserted. In practice, loading occurs with the placement of the tooth, which will transmit the force of chewing through the implant to the bone.

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

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

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

Best material for fixed prostheses

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

Dental Implants for Dentures – Acrylic Bridge

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

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

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

Topic related to Dental Implants for Dentures in Brazil

Why should I have Dental Implants for Dentures?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dental Implants for Dentures prosthesis and total implant with immediate loading

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

Do Dental Implants for Dentures last forever?

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

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

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

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

Conclusion

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

Rapid immediate loading of dental implants

All about Immediate loading

Immediate loading of dental implants

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

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

When to load implants quickly:

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

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

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

Indications for immediate rapid loading dental implants

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

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

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

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

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

Types of dental implants

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

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

Types of dentures

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

At the ImplArt dental clinic, we have all the structure to carry out your procedure with peace of mind, so come in for an assessment and we’ll analyze whether your case can be solved with this technique.

Dental implants – Frequently asked questions

Find out the most frequently asked questions about prostheses on implants

Are implants aesthetically pleasing?

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

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

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

Dental implant prosthesis: some of ImplArt’s work

How long will I be out of implant prostheses?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

replace dentures with fixed dentures on dental implants — *Example of replacing a denture with a fixed zirconia prosthesis on implants*

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

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

Will chewing ability improve after implants?

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

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

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

implante de zirconia Pure Ceramic Straumann

Metal-free white zirconia dental implant

ImplArt Dental Clinic brings you another great novelty: the Zirconia implant, a highly biocompatible and resistant white ceramic.

The zirconia implant is a revolutionary innovation in the field of dentistry, offering an aesthetic and biocompatible alternative to traditional titanium implants. In addition to being metal-free, zirconia implants have a natural white color that resembles the root of the tooth, providing a more harmonious visual result, especially in aesthetic areas.

This advanced zirconia implant technology also offers benefits in terms of strength and durability, making it an excellent choice for patients looking for a functional and discreet solution for replacing missing teeth.

Zirconia implant features

Zirconia implants – all-ceramic

This is one of the most modern dental implants, PURE Ceramic, developed by the Swiss company Straumann. Straumann’s PURE Ceramic implants are made from totally resistant zirconia. It is the most modern dental implant available today, as it is the only non-titanium option, ideal for those looking for metal-free treatment.

Zirconia implant indications

Certainly, the absence of metals in its composition, the ivory shade (similar to the color of human tooth roots) as well as the absence of sparkling reflections, characterize this implant as an aesthetic alternative in cases where the patient has very thin or atrophied gums, especially when these conditions occur in the anterior region (the most visible part of the arch). It is therefore an excellent option for those looking for a dental implant treatment with the best aesthetics available.

Thus, by combining the use of a zirconia implant with a computerized porcelain dental crown, Emax 3D Pure Porcelain or Pure Zirconia, the patient can achieve natural aesthetics, without any presence of metals.

Pure Ceramic zirconia dental implant and other high-quality implants at ImplArt dental clinic

In addition, they have been developed with ZLA technology, similar to SLA, which favors and accelerates the osseointegration process, important for speedy treatment and the success of the implant, as well as its stabilization.

Above all, it is important to note that Straumann’s PURE Ceramic implants have undergone rigorous scientific research before being introduced to the market. Each implant is mechanically tested before being supplied to the dentist.

This quality is guaranteed by a world leader in scientific research and the development of solutions for implant dentistry.

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.

morse-fit Implant

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.

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.
