Dental prosthesis price

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

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

Dental prosthesis price

Price and value of dentures

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Prosthodontics price:

Is there a charge for the first consultation?

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

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

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

My dentist doesn’t charge, why do you?

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

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

Does ImplArt cover any dental plans?

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

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

Rapid immediate loading of dental implants

Immediate loading of dental implants

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

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

When to load implants quickly:

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

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

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

Indications for immediate rapid loading dental implants

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

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

immediate rapid implant loading

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

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

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

Types of dental implants

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

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

Types of dentures

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

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

Transparent aligner – braces without parts glued to the teeth

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

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

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

How the aligner works without glued parts

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

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

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

Digital documentation

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

Panoramic radiography

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

Lateral Teleradiography

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

Intraoral scanning

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

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

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

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

Periodontal disease – causes

Periodontal disease is a set of inflammatory manifestations caused by bacteria that affect the supporting tissues of the teeth, which in advanced cases leads to tooth loss. Periodontal disease is the main cause of tooth loss in adults. Bacterial action in these structures begins with the accumulation of plaque on the tooth surface.

Why gum disease occurs

The accumulation of bacterial plaque occurs mainly due to poor oral hygiene, poorly performed or hampered by the shape of the teeth (crooked teeth or teeth that are too close together) and long periods without visits to the dentist’s office for preventive treatment.

In early cases, the toxins released by the bacteria inflame the gums, which then become red, swollen and bleed easily. In moderate cases, the gums lose their attachment and form pockets, called periodontal pockets.

This condition is very worrying because when the gums lose their adherence it opens a door for bacterial activity below the gum line, meaning that tartar can build up on the surface of the tooth root and inflammation of the bone tissue and all the supporting structures of the teeth can occur.

Without proper control, inflammation leads to gradual bone loss and teeth become soft, fall out or need to be extracted. Look at your teeth and gums: some conditions can be signs of periodontal disease:

  • Plaque and tartar adhered to the teeth, mainly on the line between the gums and teeth. Plaque is colorless and viscous. Tartar is when the accumulated plaque calcifies and is yellowish or whitish in color;
  • Gums that are swollen, red or bleed easily when brushing, flossing or involuntarily;
  • Retracted gums, sagging or separated from the tooth;
  • Tooth sensitivity;
  • Part of the tooth root exposed;
  • Changes in the position or mobility of the teeth;
  • Tooth loss;

Periodontal disease: causes

Accumulation of plaque and tartar

Plaque is a viscous, transparent film that forms on the teeth near the gum line. The toxins released by the bacteria inflame and irritate the gums, which can turn red and bleed. Tartar is when this plaque becomes hardened (yellowish or whitish calculus) and can only be removed by a professional. When the gum becomes loose, it exposes the root and calculus can build up in this area. Bacterial activity in this area leads to the gradual deterioration of the bone around the tooth.

Medicines

Some medications can interfere with oral health and favor the onset of periodontal disease or make it difficult to cure. The main classes of these drugs are: contraceptives, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antihypertensives, some used to treat cardiovascular problems and drugs to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. It is important that patients inform their dentist of any medication they are taking.

Low immunity

Patients in this condition, in most cases as a result of AIDS or chemotherapy, find it more difficult to respond to infectious processes and are more susceptible to the progression of periodontal disease.

Diabetes

Diabetes can cause difficulty in healing, changes in blood circulation and a drop in immunity. Diabetics are more likely to suffer from periodontal disease than non-diabetics.

Bad habits and functional conditions

  • Smoking –smoking reduces vascularization and consequently oxygenation of the cells. This makes it difficult for the body to respond to any infection. It also hinders healing processes and reduces salivation (which is essential for removing and fighting bacteria on the teeth). Read more about the harmful effects of smoking on oral health.
  • Poor nutrition – a lack of intake of various nutrients, such as vitamin C, can reduce immune resistance and promote oral infections.
  • Poor oral hygiene – proper brushing is the best way to remove food residue that may stick to the teeth and gums. The accumulation of this waste serves as “food” for bacteria. In addition to brushing properly, flossing and antiseptic rinses are recommended.
  • Failing to visit the dental practice regularly – visits are essential for identifying problems at an early stage and for carrying out prophylactic professional cleanings.
  • Bruxism – the habit of grinding and clenching teeth can accelerate the process of destruction of bone and gum structures with active periodontal disease. Read more about treating and controlling bruxism.
  • Malocclusion and crooked teeth – conditions that can encourage food residue to accumulate on the teeth and make it difficult to remove.

Emotional causes

  • Stress – Stressed individuals may have an altered immune response to infectious conditions. Tension can also encourage bruxism.

Genetic factors

There are people who are genetically predisposed to periodontal disease, even if they maintain good oral hygiene habits and visit the dentist regularly. A test can be carried out to find the genetic marker that influences periodontal disease.

Hormonal factors

  • Pregnancy – During pregnancy there are intense hormonal changes and the woman’s body can be slow to respond to infectious conditions. In addition, there are studies that show that periodontal disease can influence premature birth.
  • Puberty and menopause – As with pregnancy, puberty and menopause are phases of intense hormonal changes that can certainly make the body more susceptible to infections.
stages of periodontal disease

How can periodontal disease be prevented?

  • Maintain proper and regular oral hygiene. Spend more time brushing. Don’t forget the inside. People tend not to brush the less visible areas of their teeth properly and it is precisely in these areas that plaque and tartar can build up;
  • Visit the dentist regularly for professional prophylactic cleaning (scraping off plaque and smoothing the tooth surface);
  • Avoid excessive consumption of sugar and refined foods (the bacteria present in plaque feed on these sugars).

Even if you don’t notice these signs, regular visits to the dentist should not be abandoned. A professional eye can identify problems in time to treat them. Preventive care is certainly very important. They prevent problems in the future and can save you time and money.

Treatment to correct teeth with orthodontics

Learn about the latest orthodontic treatment techniques for correcting teeth used at ImplArt. Aesthetic braces, self-ligating orthodontic braces, transparent aligners (invisible / transparent orthodontic braces) are some examples of how the evolution of techniques allows us to meet the various needs of those who need to align their teeth and achieve a more beautiful smile.

Braces types

Orthodontics is a dental specialty aimed, among other things, at correcting teeth, treating functional and aesthetic irregularities of the teeth and dental occlusion. Orthodontic treatment aims not only to correct crooked teeth, but also to adjust the complete functioning of the mouth, facial muscles, bones and joints.

Anomalies in any of these areas can interfere with oral health, speech, swallowing, breathing and the aesthetics of the face. ImplArt Odontologia performs orthodontic treatments with the most modern types of fixed and mobile orthodontic appliances.

self-ligating braces to correct teeth

Self-ligating orthodontic braces align teeth faster and more comfortably

The main feature of this type of appliance is that it doesn’t need elastics to attach the archwire to the brackets. In self-ligating braces, the archwire passes through small channels in each bracket and is attached to the caps.

In conventional braces, there is friction between the elastics and the metal archwire, which creates resistance and makes movement slightly slower. The absence of elastics in self-ligating braces allows the archwire to run more smoothly inside the bracket channels, making tooth movement faster and more comfortable for the patient.

Self-ligating orthodontic appliances: metallic, aesthetic-metallic and aesthetic

It can be made up of all-metal, aesthetic-metal or all-aesthetic parts (aesthetic fixed braces with brackets made from sapphire, porcelain or transparent or tooth-coloured polycarbonate).

Indication: various problems that cause dental malocclusion, from the simplest to those that require major movement, the most common being diastemas, misalignment of teeth, crowding, overbite, open bite, crossbite, among others.

Dental prosthesis price

Conventional braces to correct teeth

Conventional orthodontic braces are made up of wires, brackets and elastics. They can be metal or aesthetic (polycarbonate, porcelain or sapphire), while the elastics can be colored or transparent. Fixed orthodontic braces work by first bonding the brackets to the teeth. Next, an archwire is placed on each bracket and secured by elastic bands.

During treatment, a certain amount of force is gradually applied to each tooth in order to align and position them properly. The patient needs to visit the clinic regularly (determined by the orthodontist) to make the force adjustments and eventually change the rubber bands that have lost their elastic capacity over time.

Discomfort and a feeling of tightness may be felt in the first few days after these activations, but this is considered normal.

Conventional and aesthetic braces

This model of braces requires the patient to take special care with oral hygiene to avoid food debris and plaque forming around the elastics and brackets.

Indication: various problems that cause dental malocclusion, from the simplest to those that require major movement. The most common problems are diastemas, misalignment of teeth, crowding, overbite, open bite, crossbite, among others.

Transparent aligner plate to correct teeth discreetly

Completely free of metal parts and made from a biocompatible thermoplastic composition, transparent aligner plates are considered the most aesthetic option among orthodontic appliances.

Because they are transparent and have the same shape as the teeth, the aligner plates are almost imperceptible. This modern technique consists of the sequential use of aligner plates with small adjustments to each one (called attachments).

The plates are manufactured according to a computerized plan based on a mold of the patient’s arches. Each movement is planned and the patient is given an estimate of the duration of their treatment and the expected results. The patient receives the set of plates to be changed every 15 days (or at the dentist’s discretion).

Plate-shaped braces

It is a type of mobile orthodontic appliance or removable orthodontic appliance, meaning that the patient can take it out to eat and clean their mouth. However, it is extremely important that the patient does not stop wearing them for the prescribed time.

Indication: This technique is especially suitable for simpler orthodontic corrections. It is an option for adult patients who need orthodontic treatment but do not want visual impairment.

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies greatly, as it depends on the complexity of each case, as well as the body’s biological response, the type of appliance used and the patient’s cooperation. It’s always worth remembering that orthodontic treatment should be carried out by a specialized professional and never bought online or from street vendors.

Price of orthodontic braces to correct teeth

Price of orthodontic braces to correct teeth: the Federal Council of Dentistry states that treatment prices can only be provided after a face-to-face consultation in which each patient’s clinical particularities will be assessed.

Specialist dental clinic – Dental implants

A dental implant is a titanium or all-ceramic pin, in the case of Straumann‘s ceramic implant, which is surgically placed in the bone and has the function of replacing the root of a lost tooth. A fixed prosthesis is installed over the dental implant, which has the function and appearance of a tooth. It is a modern, simple treatment that aims to bring comfort to the patient.

The Implart Dental Clinic is a dental clinic specializing in dental implants, and therefore has the most modern options for those who need oral rehabilitation.

There are currently several types of fixed prosthesis on implants, including modern 3D computerized pure Zirconia crowns and Cerec porcelain, to be installed on dental implants. In this way, they use innovative computerized resources with 3D intraoral scanners and milling machines to create more precise and aesthetically natural prostheses.

Quality of life and self-esteem back with dental implants

What is a dental implant?

Treatment with dental implants aims to restore masticatory function as well as the aesthetics of the smile, which certainly gives people back their quality of life and self-esteem. After the dental implant is placed, its surface interacts with the bone, a phenomenon called osseointegration.

In short, it is responsible for the stability of fixed dental prostheses, offering the wearer security and comfort when chewing, speaking and smiling. This experience is completely different from using a mobile prosthesis, the so-called dentures, which for example can cause discomfort, move around and even hurt.

Dental implants: who can have them?

In principle, dental implants are indicated for almost all people who suffer from the absence of one, some or all of the teeth in an arch. Each person is assessed individually to determine the most suitable treatment.

The good news is that the ImplArt Dental Clinic, as an implant clinic, has the expertise and knowledge of the most modern surgical techniques to deal with almost all situations of missing teeth, even in people who have little bone volume. For these cases, there are short implants from the Swiss brand Straumann.

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

Single implant, partial implant or total implant

A single tooth implant is used to replace a tooth that has been lost, usually due to an accident, root fracture, unsuccessful root canal treatment or decay. This tooth can almost always be replaced quickly using the immediate loading technique.

It is recommended that this tooth replacement be done as soon as possible to prevent bone loss, as losing a tooth and not having a dental implant can lead to bone loss and the movement of neighboring teeth, which can be aggravated by the absence of a tooth .

Advantages of single tooth implants:

  • Neighboring teeth remain intact
  • The new crown is attached directly to the dental implant, which makes it possible to floss like a natural tooth
  • Excellent aesthetic and functional results
  • Ease of treatment, as the prosthetic components are prefabricated
  • Unaffected by caries and infiltration
  • It is possible to place a temporary crown immediately after implant placement (immediate loading)
  • The installation of the implant prevents or stops bone resorption.

Losing multiple teeth can affect your ability to chew, as well as the beauty of your smile. The best option for replacing several teeth is undoubtedly to have dental implants fitted and a dental prosthesis fixed.

Partial implants are recommended for people who have lost some of their teeth. This treatment is a much more efficient alternative to a conventional bridge, as it offers better aesthetic results (there are no metal staples) and prevents bone resorption.

Total implants are recommended for people who have lost all their teeth. The loss is usually due to periodontal disease and inadequate oral hygiene. The implants are strategically distributed throughout the dental arch – ImplArt carries out the computerized planning of the guided total implant surgery.

The total implant treatment is able to bring the patient the incredible sensation of chewing and speaking safely and comfortably, as a fixed prosthesis that doesn’t move or hurt. The prosthesis will typically have a layer of artificial gum, but there are cases where the prosthesis can be made without the gum.

The presence or absence of gingiva in the prosthesis depends on various factors such as the resulting final aesthetics, bone and gum loss in the area, technical feasibility and dentist/patient preference.

Immediate loading – Rapid loading for implants

Due to scientific advances, it is now possible, in selected cases, to enter the office without teeth and leave at the end of the day with all your teeth fixed on dental implants (temporary prosthesis).

This technology, known as immediate loading, provides patients with great satisfaction due to its rapid results. In principle, immediately loaded implants can be used in the following cases:

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. These conditions are assessed individually during a consultation.

Fixed implant prosthesis – types of materials

Implant treatment is the main form of aesthetic and functional rehabilitation for patients who have lost their teeth. The absence of one or more teeth compromises chewing, speech and the aesthetics of the smile, so a fixed prosthesis on implants is capable of restoring security and self-esteem to the edentulous person.

Rehabilitation basically goes through 3 relevant phases: the placement of dental implants, the healing phase (in which the patient uses a temporary prosthesis) and the finalization with the fixing of a definitive prosthesis on implants. We have a variety of materials that can be used to make a dental prosthesis:

Dental prosthesis price
Specialist dental clinic - Dental implants

Pure porcelain dentures (metal free)

It is an opaque white ceramic structure called zirconia, covered with an aesthetic porcelain sculpted to the shape of the teeth. It is a new and technologically innovative material, as the prosthesis is completely designed on a computer and made with the help of electronic scanners and 3D printers.

It is the material that offers the best aesthetic results because it does not contain metals. Porcelain has very similar characteristics to natural teeth, including shade, translucency and strength.

metal ceramic total prosthesis for dental implants

Metal-ceramic dentures (porcelain + metal)

This is a prosthesis with an internal metal structure (titanium, Ni-Cr or Cr-Co) and an aesthetic porcelain finish that is hand-sculpted in the shape of the teeth. Its advantage is the resistance and aesthetics of the porcelain, which leaves the prosthesis with an aesthetic and beauty similar to natural teeth.

It has a small disadvantage compared to pure porcelain prostheses, which is the possibility of a grayish line appearing at the level of the gums, if the patient suffers some gum recession over time, which can lead to an aesthetic compromise in the smile.

However, it has advantages over resin prostheses, such as better durability and resistance to wear, as well as no color changes over time.

Dental prosthesis price

Acrylic Resin (resin + metal)

Also known as the Bränemark protocol prosthesis, this model has an internal metal structure and an aesthetic resin finish. The teeth are made of resin and you can choose the color, shape and size of the teeth.

This material has one disadvantage compared to the previous ones, which is the possibility of color change (yellowing) over time. The choice of prosthesis material should be made jointly by the dentist and patient. Watch the video on prosthetic materials for dental implants:

Do dental implants hurt?

The dental implant procedure is easier than you might think! Advances in techniques mean that dental implant surgery today is less invasive, avoiding excess tissue damage, pain and discomfort.

During the surgery, the patient feels no pain because it is performed under local anesthesia. In addition, ImplArt uses techniques that reduce discomfort during surgery and make the recovery period more peaceful.

One of the techniques is that ImplArt Odontologia performs computer-guided dental implant surgery. This avoids unnecessary cuts and damage to bone and gum tissue, even with full arch all on 4 implants.

ImplArt also uses Piezosurgery surgical ultrasound, which cuts through hard tissues such as bone and preserves soft tissues such as gums, nerves, membranes and blood vessels.

This system allows the surgeon greater surgical precision and better visibility during surgery.

Price and value of dental implant treatments and dental aesthetics │ Dental implant average price

We often receive calls, emails and messages from people asking about the price and value of dental implants and dental treatment . We always try to explain that these questions can only be answered through a dental consultation.

In short, there are three main reasons for this: the first is that the Code of Ethics of the Federal Council of Dentistry prohibits dentists from carrying out consultations in person. The second is that dental treatments can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient.

The good news is that for those who live far away, abroad or in other states, there is the option of a preliminary online consultation.

There are numerous factors that influence the planning of a treatment. There are also various options for materials and techniques that influence the composition of a budget. In addition, a treatment that may be suitable for one person may not be the most appropriate for another.

The third is the importance of being assessed by a professional dentist. Often patients think they have a dental problem and believe that a particular treatment may be the most appropriate, but in reality it may be something else.

The dentist is the professional qualified to look at oral health in general, as well as giving the necessary recommendations to keep teeth beautiful and healthy throughout life. The qualified implant dentist is also able to recognize, in most cases, the types of dental implants that exist by evaluating the panoramic radiograph.

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

There are important factors that influence a cost-benefit ratio, such as the health and well-being that healthy teeth provide, improved self-esteem, patient comfort during procedures, the relationship of trust between patient and dentist, and our empathy for the patient, who often brings with them anxieties, expectations, fears and even trauma from previous experiences. What do you think your smile is worth?

Is there a charge for the first consultation?

Yes, we charge for the first consultation. The patient will be assessed by the director of the dental clinic, Dr. Roberto Markarian, who has extensive experience in treatments for functional and aesthetic oral rehabilitation, with dental implants and dental prostheses.

If necessary, the patient may be asked to undergo some radiological examinations to help with diagnosis and treatment planning.

For your convenience, some of the main dental exams can be carried out in the clinic (at a separate cost). If you already have previous exams, please bring all recent ones (up to 1 year old) to your appointment, as they will be of great help.

My dentist doesn’t charge, why do you?

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

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

Do you accept any dental plans?

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

We only accept plans for the reimbursement system or free choice. There are companies that offer their employees this system, in which they will later receive the amounts paid. There is some bureaucracy involved, but we can help.

Porcelain crowns – Day Clinic

The placement of porcelain crowns is one of the procedures that ImplArt Odontologia performs with the convenience and agility of the Day Clinic – Dental Spa. A porcelain crown is a type of fixed prosthesis for application over a tooth or dental implant, indicated for replacing a tooth that has either been lost or cannot be maintained.

What are porcelain crowns?

For example: teeth with advanced caries, teeth broken as a result of an accident or teeth that are mobile due to periodontal disease and need to be extracted.

The Implart clinic offers dental implant services and porcelain crowns for them. Implants are performed to replace lost teeth or teeth that cannot be maintained. Porcelain crowns are prostheses that we recommend to restore damaged teeth, such as advanced caries or teeth broken due to accidents. They are also indicated in cases of tooth mobility caused by periodontal disease, when extraction is necessary.

The application of the crown on tooth in short is recommended when the root of the tooth can still be maintained and the application of the crown on implant is when the tooth is completely lost, i.e. the tooth root is also extracted must be replaced by a titanium dental implant pin.

The porcelain crown is currently the material with the closest visual and physical characteristics to a natural tooth. ImplArt only works with high-performance porcelain so that the prosthetic crown looks almost indistinguishable from the neighboring teeth.

The porcelain crown can be made with internal metal reinforcement (usually recommended for posterior teeth) or with metal-free white zirconia reinforcement (recommended for anterior teeth due to the aesthetic needs of the smile).

What is the difference between a porcelain crown and a dental contact lens?

In general , lenses only cover the outside of the tooth, like a veneer. Their thickness is thin, corresponding only to the tooth enamel. A porcelain crown, on the other hand, surrounds the tooth completely (360 degrees), requiring more wear and tear on the tooth. Despite this, a crown is expected to last longer than a lens. Both porcelain crowns and lenses can be digitally designed and manufactured by robotic machines. Lenses can also be used to repair a dental prosthesis.

Learn about some of the indications for porcelain crowns:

  • Reconstruction or replacement of a tooth to improve the aesthetics of the smile
  • Reconstruction or replacement of a tooth to improve chewing
  • Replacing large or broken restorations when there is not much tooth structure left
  • Replacing a tooth with a metal restoration (unaesthetic) with a porcelain crown in the color of the neighboring teeth (aesthetic).
  • Protecting a tooth with a healthy root
  • Dental implant application
  • Replacing old or badly made crowns
  • Reconstruction and protection of teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
  • Because they are made from state-of-the-art porcelain, the crowns are highly aesthetic, resistant and durable.

How is the Day Clinic procedure done?

ImplArt Odontologia has a structure that allows several dental procedures to be carried out intensively at the Day Clinic, including the placement of porcelain crowns. The structure is made up of computerized systems that speed up the design and manufacture of prostheses, a dental laboratory within the clinic, as well as a multi-specialized team to carry out a complete treatment, from diagnosis to completion.

Porcelain crowns are a procedure carried out by ImplArt Odontologia. Porcelain crowns are fixed prostheses used to replace lost or damaged teeth. These crowns can be placed over natural teeth or dental implants. ImplArt offers the service of placing porcelain crowns at the Day Clinic – Dental Spa, with convenience and agility. These porcelain crowns provide patients with aesthetics and functionality.

The computerized design of the porcelain dental crown is made according to a digital molding of the teeth obtained through a scan of the teeth. This makes it possible to design pieces that are completely customized to each patient’s needs. The crown is made by 3D tooth printers.

Normally this whole process takes a few weeks, but with ImplArt’s Day Clinic this time is considerably reduced. The execution and durability of the treatment vary according to the complexity of each case. Contact us and make an appointment to see if your case could benefit from this technique.

Dental zirconia: better aesthetics for dental prostheses

There are different materials that can be used to build a dental prosthesis, the main ones being: resin with a metal internal structure (metalloplastics/Branemark protocol), ceramic with a metal internal structure (metalloceramics) and the most aesthetic option which is ceramic with a metal-free dental zirconia internal structure (metal free).

Therefore, among the possible materials for dental prostheses, we have:

  • resin with an internal metal structure – this is known as metalloplastic or Branemark protocol,
  • ceramic with an internal metal structure – this is called metal-ceramic,
  • the metal-free dental zirconia ceramic.

The most aesthetic option is ceramic with a metal-free dental zirconia structure, also known as metal free.

The evolution of aesthetic dentures

Most total or partial infrastructures are made with metal alloys that play the role of mechanical and functional support. However, their dark color can compromise the final aesthetics, especially in areas that are more apparent and important to patients.

As a result, metal-free ceramic structures are gaining ground, mainly because they achieve a more aesthetic result and because of their biocompatibility, resistance and stability.

Dental ceramics and zirconia are considered the most advanced materials because they do not contain metals in their composition, which provides an aesthetic dental prosthesis that is much more similar to natural teeth.

Zirconia teeth can be single, bridged or full-arch, installed on teeth or on dental implants.

dental zirconia
A zirconia dental prosthesis is made to perfectly mimic dental and gum tissues. Above, the zirconia prosthesis designed, and below, the prosthesis installed. Both the color and the shape were designed individually and jointly between the patient and the implant dentist.

Dental zirconia is a white, resistant ceramic material used to build the structure of the prosthesis. A layer of porcelain is applied to this structure, which makes the prosthesis similar to natural teeth in terms of translucency, texture and shade.

As zirconia is white, the prosthesis has a similar shade and translucency to natural teeth, even when exposed to light.

New types of more translucent dental zirconia allow for the complete fabrication of dental prostheses by computer, without the need to apply porcelain manually.

The shade of zirconia is comparable to natural human dentin. In contrast, the same result cannot be achieved with a prosthesis containing a metal framework.

Zirconia – far superior aesthetics

Metal-ceramic prostheses, when exposed to light, have a slightly darkened core. In addition, over time, grayish lines may appear on the gingival margin.

This is because bone and gum changes naturally occur over the years, and this remodeling can expose a small portion of the metal of the prosthesis and thus cause aesthetic damage to the smile.

Another advantage of zirconia is that prostheses made from this material are completely computer-engineered and executed on 3D printers using Cad/Cam systems. This allows prostheses to be made more quickly and accurately.

For your convenience, ImplArt Odontologia has its own digital prost hesis laboratory that develops dental zirconia prostheses. Make an appointment and find out if this technique is right for you. We would be delighted to hear from you!
