Aesthetic oral rehabilitation – Specialist Clinic

Aesthetic oral rehabilitation is a treatment or set of dental procedures aimed at restoring the oral function and aesthetics of a person who is suffering from missing teeth and needs implants, or whose oral function is compromised by other dental problems that affect chewing, speech and the aesthetics of the smile.

Accordingly, depending on the case, single or partial dental implants can be carried out, or so-called total implants with a protocol prosthesis, which are implants for the entire arch. Porcelain crowns or zirconia crowns can be made, designed with modern computerized systems that allow patients to regain their confidence to smile, as well as their chewing function. It is important to note that dental implant surgery is simple, and allows for major transformations in the patient’s life.

Aesthetic oral rehabilitation: which procedures?

In addition, oral rehabilitation also aims to prevent other problems from arising in the future. A complete, better and well-articulated set of teeth will certainly prevent problems with the jaw, mandible and temporomandibular joints.

ImplArt specializes in prosthetics and restoring dental aesthetics

The ImplArt Dental Clinic has a team made up of the main areas of dentistry:

Implant dentist – surgery and prosthetics for dental implants to replace roots. Cases can vary from one tooth to a prosthetic protocol for all teeth.

Endodontist – root canal treatment.

Orthodontist –orthodontic treatments, including state-of-the-art braces.

Occlusion – treatment of bite and TMJ disorders

Oro-Facial Harmonization – Improves facial aesthetics through techniques such as lip fillers (thickening the lips).

Periodontist – treatment of diseases affecting the teeth, roots, gums and supporting bones, such as cavities, gingivitis, plaque, periodontitis.

Restorative dentistry – aesthetic treatments such as whitening, application of dental contact lenses and aesthetic planning.

Oral and maxillofacial – specialist in the surgical correction of facial anomalies, such as asymmetries, TMJ dysfunctions and bone grafting.

Prosthodontist – Dental surgeon specialized in making aesthetic and conventional dental prostheses.

Prosthetist – laboratory technician specialized in making dental prostheses.

Radiologist – specializes in radiological examinations that help with diagnosis and treatment planning.

Treatment for aesthetic oral rehabilitation: 1 – Stained and scratched restorations, missing diastema teeth, short teeth, malocclusion. 2 – Aesthetic dental treatment for the installation of lenses and veneers, replacement of restorations, tooth whitening, implants and crowns

Lente de contato — 1 – Short teeth, 2 – Gingivetomy (gum lift) and tooth preparation, 3 – Temporary dental contact lenses (mockup), 4 – Permanent dental contact lenses – Whiter and longer teeth, more beautiful and harmonious smile.

All these areas can work in isolation or better together to achieve complete oral rehabilitation. ImplArt’s team of professionals is supported by a number of facilities and the best technologies, all at the same address:

In-house dental laboratory

With a specialized team and equipment that helps make modern dental prostheses quickly and precisely, much more like real teeth, such as the modern translucent zirconia prosthesis. ImplArt’s prosthetics laboratory has two of the most modern dental 3D printers on the market: the Cerec Sirona System and the Ceramill Motion 2.

They do everything from computerized three-dimensional design to milling teeth in ceramic material. Find out more by clicking here.

Digital radiology laboratory

With a digital panoramic X-ray machine and computerized tomography.

Computerized treatment and surgery planning

Exclusive software that plans and simulates various dental treatments. This way, patients know how their treatment will go before they even start it.

Day Clinic

The Day clinic is a type of service that carries out one or more dental treatments intensively. In this way, oral rehabilitation can be achieved in the shortest possible time (subject to assessment of the complexity of each case).

One of the main features of aesthetic oral rehabilitation is the porcelain dental crown

This is a dental reconstruction that aims to cover or encase a tooth that has had its structure compromised, or even after root canal treatment. Teeth with a root canal almost always need a reinforcing post to give the dental crown a better structure. The dental crown can be made from a number of porcelain options currently available.

In some cases, dental crowns can be better made in one day with the CEREC 3D dental prosthesis and crown in our clinic thanks to the technologies in our laboratories. Dental posts (cores) can be metal or aesthetic (zirconia or fiberglass).

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.

porcelain fixed prosthesis dental implant — Fixed zirconia crowns

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!

Computerized dental aesthetics – Digital Pre-treatment planning

Computerized dental aesthetics

Computerized dental aesthetics uses computerized programs for digital smile planning that have certainly helped dentistry. They are used to plan and simulate various dental treatments, including implants, dental contact lenses and fixed prostheses. They make it possible to design completely personalized treatments.

Predictable results with digital dental treatment planning

As a result, they increase the patient’s understanding of the stages of their treatment, thus aligning expectations with the proposed treatment, and above all allow the dentist to have greater predictability of results.

With computerized dental treatment planning, the dentist can design crowns, restorations, aesthetic treatments, dental contact lenses as well as plan the placement of dental implants.

The purpose of digital smile planning is to create a personalized treatment, seeking the harmony of the smile, as well as avoiding unnecessary procedures and consequently making treatment faster, more comfortable and more accurate.

Now, with the latest Cerec Primemill milling machine, the results are even more precise and more detailed.

Computerized dental aesthetics (Smile Design)

A great feature of computerized dental treatment planning programs is image overlay. This involves positioning the digital plan over the patient’s photo, making it easier for the patient to understand their treatment before they even start.

Digital smile design begins with capturing the patient’s oral images using an intraoral scanner. These images are transformed into a computerized 3D model of the dental arches.

In this way, the dentist visualizes the initial state and designs crowns, restorations or dental contact lenses to solve various problems that compromise the aesthetics and harmony of the smile.

Intraoral scanning for digital smile planning

Some cases that can be planned on a computer:

Increase in the length or volume of one or more teeth.
Aligning asymmetrical teeth
Making restorations for broken or decayed teeth
Making dental contact lenses
Harmonization of teeth with facial biotype
Even tooth shade
Replacing unsightly restorations with porcelain restorations
Making metal-free zirconia abutments and prostheses

The dental treatments planned on the computer also allow for quick dental treatments in the Day Clinic (or Dental Spa – intensive care modality).

Digital smile planning with dental implants

Digital planning of dental implants helps to ensure that the treatment result is tailored to the patient’s needs. It also helps to ensure that the treatment is efficient and as minimally invasive as possible, thus avoiding surgical accidents (such as hitting sensitive structures).

Planning begins with a computerized tomography scan. In this sense, the three-dimensional images of the tomography allow the implant dentist to know details such as the volume and dimensions of the bone in order to determine the best positions for the implants and the choice of implants with dimensions suited to the needs of each patient.

The dentist also has the option of ordering a surgical guide, which is made based on the information from the CT scan. The surgical guide acts as a template, with the exact indications of where the perforations should be made.

As a result, unnecessary cuts and punctures are avoided, meaning treatment is less invasive and recovery is quicker and more comfortable.

At the same time, guided surgery makes it possible:

Prior surgical and prosthetic planning, resulting in a more precise procedure;
Safe flapless surgery and the possibility of immediate loading;
Respect for bone structures and the path of nerves and vessels;
A reduction in the indication for bone grafting surgeries, as this requires detailed prior planning of the case;
Planning aesthetic and functional procedures;
Better post-operative recovery;
Better communication between patient and dentist, contributing to greater trust during treatment.

Digital orthodontic treatment planning

Digital orthodontic treatment is fully computer simulated and planned using an intraoral scanner and specialized software. The intraoral scanner is used to capture precise images of the teeth and gums and thus create a three-dimensional color mold of the arches. The software uses these images to simulate the movement of the teeth to the desired position.

Models with the proposed final treatment can be 3D printed for verification if the orthodontist prefers. Digital molds can be used not only to plan orthodontic treatment with conventional braces, but also with braces in the form of aligner plates(Invisalign or Compass).

ImplArt Odontologia uses the main technologies ever developed for computerized dental treatment planning. From intraoral scanning to the execution of prostheses, restorations and aesthetic dental contact lenses on 3D printers.

Cerec 3D – Emax Cad crowns

Emax Cad crowns are prostheses used in oral rehabilitation and dental restoration to cover, protect and strengthen teeth that have been extensively damaged by decay or root canal treatment.

Ceramic crowns in Emax Cad

Developed by the German company Ivoclar, the technical name of the Emax material is lithium disilicate and it has the ability to offer high aesthetics and high resistance.

Dissilicate porcelain is classified as a glass porcelain, or glass-ceramic, with diverse applications for dental prostheses on teeth and implants, contact lenses, porcelain blocks, individual crowns on structure. In other words, these are applications for single teeth or up to 3 teeth. For larger dental prostheses, we use other types of dental porcelain, such as translucent dental zirconia.

emax cerec implart crowns — *Digital emax crowns guarantee the best aesthetic results*

EMAX crown applications

Dental crowns can also be placed on dental implants to replace missing teeth. They can be made from different materials such as temporary resins, but the main one is Emax Cad ceramic. What are the main advantages of the Emax Cad crown?

High resistance and durability;
Very aesthetic look, similar to a natural tooth;
Range of blocks with different colors and types of resistance for different uses;
Minimally invasive restorations;
It can be made using the metal-free technique (no metal in the internal structure). This makes the crown look translucent and much more aesthetic in bright environments.

emax crowns — The digital emax crown is milled by robotic machines in the blue phase, when the material is still soft. The material is then crystallized at over 700 degrees to achieve the final color. On the right, it has received the final polish that guarantees the smoothness of the structure and final pigmentation (even in black light environments).

Emax porcelain crowns in digital dentistry – how are they made?

ImplArt Odontologia is equipped with the modern Cerec 3D system with CAD/CAM technology, which simulates and digitally plans the treatment right through to making the Emax Cad ceramic crowns. The system is complete and consists of three units:

1 – Intraoral scanner: high-precision color camera that makes digital molds of the patient’s teeth and sends them to the computer.
2 – Computer and software: receives the information captured by the intraoral scanner and carries out simulation and personalized treatment planning using 3D images.
3 – Machining bay: robots mill the Emax Cad ceramic block based on the computerized design until the shape of the crown is achieved. The result is a piece that is strictly compatible with the patient’s needs.

emax ceramic crowns 3d printer — *Complete oral rehabilitation of the lower arch using emax computerized porcelain*

When the milling is complete, the piece undergoes a sintering process at approximately 850°C and acquires high strength, shade and translucency. The CEREC 3D system certainly speeds up treatment, even allowing it to be carried out and finalized in Day Clinic planning.

With it, it is possible to make crowns and restorations that are very precise and customized to the needs of each case. Contact us and make an appointment to find out if your case could benefit from this technique.

We’ll be happy to solve your problem in our specialized clinic. We also offer translucent zirconia crowns, a new type of dental porcelain that is even more resistant than Emax.

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.

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.

transparent aligner — **Click on the image to watch the simulation**

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.

Oral Rehabilitation – Day Clinic restores the whole mouth

Oral rehabilitation is a practice within dentistry with the aim of recovering or improving the patient’s health, chewing function and oral aesthetics in a complete way, when these are compromised. Aligned with implant dentistry, it allows the replacement of lost teeth with a dental implant, either a total implant with a full-arch fixed dental prosthesis or a partial fixed prosthesis.

This practice is also preventative, as complete and well-articulated teeth prevent problems with the jaw and mandible.

Healthy and beautiful teeth with oral rehabilitation at Day Clinic

Problems that arise as a result of a lack of preventive care can develop, become harmful and much more complex in the future. For a smile to be considered healthy and functional, the entire set of teeth, bones, facial muscles and soft tissues must work together in harmony.

Frequent toothaches or even facial muscle pain, swollen or bleeding gums, plaque build-up, cavities, the absence of one or more teeth, clicking or joint pain when opening and closing the mouth, facial asymmetry, yellowed or stained teeth are some of the signs that something is wrong with oral health and aesthetics.

Complete professional team to carry out your oral rehabilitation in Day Clinic

Oral rehabilitation can involve several dental specialties working together in one day. Just to give an example: periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, implantology, prosthetics, dentistry and dental aesthetics. With it you can, for example:

Treatment of infections and periodontal disease
Replacing missing teeth with dentures or dental implants
Restoring partially compromised teeth with dental crowns
Correct bite problems, dental occlusion
Restoring masticatory function
Recovering or improving dental aesthetics in general

Oral rehabilitation is planned after a number of examinations have been carried out, such as a panoramic X-ray, so that all the patient’s needs can be known. From there, the multi-specialist team jointly decides on the procedures to be adopted for complete oral rehabilitation.

Predictable results with digital smile planning

Digital smile planning makes it possible to design completely personalized treatments. It allows the patient to understand the stages of their treatment, thus aligning their expectations with the proposed treatment, and above all: it allows the dentist to have greater predictability of results. This applies to dental implant treatments, fixed prostheses and other types of dental prostheses, porcelain crowns and zirconia.

index

The use of Computer Graphics (3D) has helped in the planning and simulation of various dental treatments.

Thus, with computerized dental treatment planning, the dentist can design dental crowns, restorations, aesthetic treatments, dental contact lenses and plan the placement of dental implants in 3D. The aim of digital smile planning is to create a personalized treatment, seeking the harmony of the smile and also avoiding unnecessary procedures. As a result, it also makes treatment quicker, more convenient and more precise. When it comes to implant treatment, the speed of digital prostheses, combined with the choice of a rapid implant type, means that significant treatment times can be shortened.

With modern resources and equipment, it is possible to mill materials such as pure porcelain or pure zirconia. The modern Cerec Primemill, the latest German milling machine, which joins the team of milling machines in our digital laboratory, allows for even more precise results with even more detail.

Laser teeth whitening – Day Clinic

Laser teeth whitening is a treatment often used in our Dayclinic cases because it greatly improves the appearance of the teeth and is quick to perform. Teeth whitening can be used in conjunction with other aesthetic treatments such as cosmetic dental lenses. It can also be used in rehabilitative treatments with dental crowns and even dental implants, where fixed dental prostheses will be required, and the tone of the smile can be modified as a whole at this point.

Laser teeth whitening is one of the aesthetic procedures that ImplArt Odontologia can perform in its Day Clinic

Over time, some of our habits can leave our teeth yellowed or stained. Ingesting highly pigmented foods or drinks, such as coffee, wine, beet, açaí, among others, can stain teeth.

Smoking is also one of the enemies of white teeth, as nicotine also stains teeth. In addition, poor brushing – which would be a better way of removing food pigments from the teeth – can also lead to the accumulation of plaque on the teeth, which makes them look yellow.

A beautiful, uniform smile makes up dental aesthetics, while yellowed and stained teeth can affect a person’s self-esteem.

A naturally whiter smile, like the ones seen on celebrities, is a common desire. The best part is that this dream is possible, thanks to the laser teeth whitening procedure, which is certainly a great ally for dental aesthetics.

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.

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.
