Now those who are afraid of the dentist can rest easy. Simple or complex dental procedures can be carried out in a dentist’s office under intravenous sedation. The technique allows the odontophobic patient’s level of consciousness to decrease at the time of the procedure, but does not affect their ability to breathe and respond appropriately to physical stimulation and verbal commands.
Before the procedure begins, an anesthesiologist applies a sedative medication intravenously. Dental treatment is then carried out by the dentist. This treatment can be as simple as a prophylaxis or include a dental implant or bone graft. In the meantime, the anesthesiologist remains in the room throughout the procedure or surgery, monitoring the patient and also following their recovery. There is also nitrous oxide conscious sedation, in which the patient breathes in a gas (nitrous oxide). However, at ImplArt we only offer intravenous sedation. We don’t use gas because it doesn’t offer enough reassurance to a patient who is afraid.
Why sedate?
You may be a candidate for sedation if you have odontophobia (fear of the dentist), fear of pain, get irritated by the noise of the motor, don’t like the anesthesia needle, are afraid of the dental office, afraid of blood, dental drills, etc. In this way, the procedure becomes simple for the patient, because when they wake up, all the work has already been done. It also offers convenience, as sedation is carried out in the dental office without the need for hospitalization. Even if conscious during the procedure, the patient doesn’t remember what happened.
Is it a general anesthetic?
Sedation is not general anesthesia. General anesthesia uses more powerful drugs and the patient becomes unconscious, needing the aid of breathing apparatus. During simple sedation, the patient remains drowsy but awake (conscious).
What do you feel during sedation?
Sedation by vein gives the patient a feeling of comfort, as they almost fall asleep but remain conscious. It also makes the dentist’s job easier, as he uses fewer anesthetics and can work more quickly.
What procedures can be done under sedation?
Simple or complex procedures can be carried out. In most cases, the dentist can take the opportunity to carry out several treatments in one day, in what is known as a Dental Day Clinic or Dental Spa. Examples of treatments that can be carried out under sedation are: fillings, cleaning, surgery, dental implant surgery, tooth extraction, wisdom tooth extraction, periodontal scraping, tooth whitening, among others.
Who can do it?
Any patient in good general health can undergo this technique. First of all, the anesthesiologist will check whether you can undergo the procedure, or if there are any restrictions, and may request some tests. Please note: we do not treat children or special patients.
Testimonials
“Excellent clinic and excellent professionals. I had a phobia of dentists, I had implant surgery with conscious sedation and other treatments over a few months and from start to finish I didn ‘t feel any pain. I recommend it 100%” – Alessandra Escobar
“I’m very anxious about going to the dentist and I’ve always avoided it as much as possible. Now it’s been five years without treating my teeth, so I ended up losing some dentures, had a lot of cavities and an episode of pain. Then I came across the ImplArt clinic and this sedation technique. It was very easy to have the treatment this way. The doctor who saw me was very attentive and looked after me until the end of the procedure. I also found that the dentist worked quickly and did some implants and treated the cavities while I was asleep. It was kind of magical, but when I woke up everything was ready, I thought it was great” – M.R.R., businesswoman

Periodontal disease is characterized by the formation of a space between the gum and the tooth, a periodontal pocket, which helps to accumulate food debris and bacteria. It is the main cause of tooth loss in adults. As in all cases, only a dentist can determine with certainty the patient’s condition and what treatment should be carried out.
Periodontal disease self-examination
But people can find out more quickly at home what their problem is. In the case of periodontal disease, the most characteristic sign is bleeding gums. In addition, changes in the position of the teeth, swollen gums, tooth mobility, receding gums, bad breath and food retention are signs that the disease may already be present.
Periodontal disease is caused by bacterial plaque adhering to the tooth. Bacterial activity in this area releases toxins that initially cause the gums to loosen, making room for infection inside. This infection leads to the progressive deterioration of the supporting tissues of the teeth and in advanced cases, they become soft and fall out.
However, changes in the gums can also be associated with emotional causes, medication or low immunity. That’s why it’s important to have a consultation to assess the causes.
Periodontal disease: how do I know if I have it?Periodontal disease: how do I know if I have it?Periodontal disease: how do I know if I have it?Signs of periodontal disease: severe bone loss, malocclusion, tilted teeth, tooth roots appearing (teeth look longer), receding gums, inflamed red gums, bleeding gums, soft teeth, falling teeth, infection, dark space between teeth (dental blackspace), bad breath.
Treatments for inflamed gums
For treatment, the patient must go to the dentist who will remove the plaque by scraping and smoothing the roots of the teeth. Surgery may be indicated if the aforementioned procedures do not reach the entire area of the compromised root. Even with proper treatment, there may be sequelae such as displacement in the position of the tooth, bone loss and gum recession. Surgical and prosthetic procedures are available to reduce these effects.
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms of periodontal disease, make sure you schedule an appointment to start proper treatment as soon as possible, and thus avoid more serious problems such as tooth loss.
First of all, there are different materials used to make dental prostheses. Tooth loss occurs due to various factors, which is why there are also various types of prosthesis that can be indicated for each patient’s needs. Dental prostheses can be made on full-arch dental implants, protocol prostheses or even on individual dental implants. Therefore, as there are many types of prostheses, from fixed prostheses to removable prostheses ( dentures ), we have decided to explain the types of dental prostheses in a very simple way.
The aim is certainly to help you learn more about all the options available and also to help you decide on the best treatment option. See more below.
Learn about the main types of dentures
First of all,teeth are very important for health, aesthetics and well-being. The absence of teeth therefore compromises speech, chewing, social interaction and even general health.
In addition, difficulty chewing can sometimes influence the poor intake of important nutrients.
The great news is that dental prostheses today are very advanced and increasingly resemble natural teeth, not only in appearance but also in function. What’s more, there are many options for prosthetic materials, from conventional teeth to fully computerized ones
Single or individual denture – This is a denture in the shape of a single tooth element.
Partial or multiple prosthesis – This is a bridge-shaped prosthesis that contains three dental elements, the central one suspended over the gums. It is therefore used to replace teeth that have been lost sequentially.
Full dentures – These are used to replace all the teeth in a dental arch when the person has no teeth left.
Description by type of prosthesis . Fixation method
Crowns on implants can be of the cemented or screwed type
Description by type of prosthesis . Type of support
Gum-supported dentures – Full dentures that are supported on the gums and are held in place by the shape of the denture or with the aid of attachments.
Supported on teeth – The single or partial denture can be bonded to teeth that can still be maintained, usually with a treated root canal and with part of the remaining structure prepared. In this way, the partial denture can also be attached to the lateral teeth using metal clips, but this technique has some disadvantages, such as exposed metal and a certain amount of discomfort.
Implant-supported fixed prosthesis – Single, partial or total prostheses can be fixed on dental implants surgically installed in the jawbone or mandible. In the case of complete dentures, the implants are strategically distributed throughout the arch.
Classification by type of dentalprosthesis materials
Resin dental prosthesis – Plastic material used to make a single prosthesis, partial or total, on gums or on an implant. The Branemark protocol is a total prosthesis with a metal framework and resin teeth and gums.
Metal-ceramic prost hesis – This is a single, partial or total prosthesis with a metal structure and teeth made of dental porcelain.
Applied zirconia dental prosthesis – Single, partial or total prosthesis with an internal zirconia structure and teeth made of dental porcelain. Extremely aesthetic and similar to natural teeth.
Pure zirconia dental prosthesis – Pure zirconia is also known as cubic zirconia, or translucent zirconia, monolithic zirconia, as well as multilayer zirconia.
On the type of gum characterization and materials
Artificial gum prosthesis – Artificial g um prosthesis is indicated for people who have had a lot of vertical bone loss, cases in which the gums have been reshaped and therefore the arch has lost its shape, or who have lost their gums for other reasons. In this case, the artificial gum mimics the shape and color of the natural gum so that the prosthesis looks more natural and the teeth don’t get too long.
Without artificial gums (teeth only) – Dentures without artificial gums are indicated for people who maintain the volume and arch of their natural gums (for example, someone who has a tooth extracted and then has a dental implant placed). It is certainly not possible to make a gumless prosthesis in all cases, so please consult us.
Type of impressions and prosthesis planning
Computerized impression taking – Technological advances allow us to take digital impressions with intraoral scanners and processes that are part computerized and part manual. This undeniably allows us to make faster, more personalized, more aesthetic prostheses with excellent adaptation.
Conventional molding – made with putty and the prosthesis manufactured using completely manual processes. The result can be excellent, but the work can take longer.
Some of the prostheses made at the ImplArt Dental Clinic
First of all, we know that images are important for seeing the results of a treatment and analyzing the differences in prosthesis materials. We have therefore included some images below so that you can see the different types of dentures made at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt.

A dental implant is a titanium or all-ceramic pin that has a similar function to a tooth root, i.e. to provide support for the teeth. Over the years, dental implants have been developed with different shapes and compositions, in order to always seek better initial stabilization and durability throughout life. Currently, the fastest implant option is the Slactivedental implant version with rapid healing of 1 month. This means that one month after implant surgery, the final crown can be fitted.
Straumann technology
We certainly can’t fail to mention the modern ceramic dental implant which, combined with the pure 3D zirconia crown, is the complete combination for metal-free oral rehabilitation. This treatment is especially suitable for people who are looking for excellence in aesthetic results, both when choosing dental implants and prostheses. In addition, it can be used for those patients who want to avoid the use of metals due to an allergic condition.
This option is gaining more and more ground as many patients want to eliminate the use of metal in their arches, either out of preference or even medical restrictions. There are currently several types of implant, each with its own characteristics, making it easier to choose according to the patient’s wishes. Let’s find out more about this very modern white implant option, which has allowed one version of the implant to be made of titanium.
Some high-tech implant models
The ImplArt Dental Clinic in Brazil only works with high-tech implants, including Straumann Swiss implants (which are widely considered to be the best in the world). Straumann offers a wide range of implants in a variety of shapes, diameters and lengths to meet a wide range of needs in implant dentistry.
Implants of reduced length and diameter, they are suitable for people with bone defects who do not want or cannot undergo bone grafting procedures. They are composed of a high-performance alloy, specifically designed above all to provide greater strength than pure titanium. They have excellent bone integration capacity.
Ivory-colored all-ceramic implants, so they resemble the shade of the tooth roots. They can be a treatment option for more apparent areas of the arch or patients with very thin gums. They can also be an option for treating patients who are sensitive to metals such as nickel.
They have an internal prosthetic abutment connection, thus reducing manipulation of the gingival tissues. For this reason, they can be a treatment option for more apparent areas of the arches, as they provide a more aesthetic result.
They have a rough surface technology that provides an ideal structure for the adhesion of cells that stimulate and therefore accelerate the osseointegration process (bone formation and stabilization around the implant).
They have surface technology that stimulates and accelerates the osseointegration process (bone formation and stabilization around the implant).They have a hydrophilic surface for the formation of blood clots in the implant.
The hydrophilic and chemically active properties of the SLActive surface provide a larger accessible surface area for greater absorption of blood proteins and formation of the fibrin network.
These are ideal conditions for blood clots to form and for the healing process to begin. All Straumann implants are made from safe materials that are certainly biocompatible with the human body.
Swiss implant manufacturer Straumann offers a complete range with various clinical applications.

High-tech dental implants – Advantages?
Tooth loss can lead to aesthetic, functional and bone problems, so a quick replacement is essential. More advantages:
Dental implants – Contraindications (each case is assessed individually)
In patients with general health problems
When there is not enough bone to place the implant (can be solved with bone grafting techniques)
Dental implants: how are they done?
The titanium implants are installed into the bone through a small operation in the dental office, under local anesthesia. Once the dental implant is in place, it takes an average of 1 to 4 months to adhere to the bone (osseointegration), depending on the type of implant chosen.
In some high-tech Straumann implant models, osseointegration can occur in less time. Therefore, after this period, the molds for the installation of the fixed prosthesis on the implants can begin.
In some selected cases, the prosthesis can be placed on the same day as the surgery with immediate loading. If you have any questions, please contact us or make an appointment. We at ImplArt Implants Clinic will be happy to help you!
Odontophobia is a term that defines a person who is afraid of the dentist, i.e. the patient may experience symptoms ranging from mild anxiety to panic, dizziness and fainting. Other patients experience nausea or motion sickness during dental treatment.
The dentist for phobics can help you take care of your oral health
This condition often leads to people neglecting their oral health and putting off important care at an early stage.
This leads to problems such as cavities, plaque buildup, gingivitis, periodontal disease, root canal problems, fractures, dental malocclusion, tooth mobility and dental aesthetics, among others. Many of these problems, if not treated in time, can lead to tooth loss.
We at ImplArt Odontologia understand that this is a serious issue. We know that many patients who seek dental care carry expectations and anxieties, and some even have bad previous experiences.
That’s why we strive to provide patients with a calm and transparent service, especially those with odontophobia.
Sedation is completely safe, as it is carried out by a specialist doctor who first interviews the patient and requests complementary tests (if appropriate), and monitors the patient’s functions whileall the dental procedures take place.
When all the procedures are finished, the doctor stops the sedation and the patient wakes up instantly without any difficulty. In extreme cases of odontophobia, dental procedures may be performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
ImplArt Odontologia was a pioneer in designing the Dental Day Clinic in Brazil. This is a model of care in which one or more dental procedures are carried out intensively, in the shortest possible time.
The Day Clinic is one of the ways to bring comfort and confidence to patients with odontophobia, because they spend less time in the office and don’t stop taking care of their oral health and smile. Find out more about the ImplArt Day Clinic.
If you have any further questions or would like to give your testimony, please contact us. ImplArt can help you whether you’re looking for a dentist for people with fear in sp or a dentist for people with phobia in sp.
Please note: we do not treat children or special patients.
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 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.
ImplArt Odontologia uses the most modern laser whitening techniques safely and efficiently. The best whitening is done with the combination of hydrogen peroxide-based gel and the laser light that activates the gel.
The procedure safely and effectively removes pigments and stains from tooth enamel and dentin. Some people need more than one session and this will be determined after an assessment of each case.
Application of whitening gelLaser activation of the gelWhitening results
Indications for whitening
Laser teeth whitening treatment is suitable for most people who are bothered by yellow or stained teeth.
There are even techniques for children over the age of 10. The indication is made after a thorough assessment of the general condition of the patient’s mouth (teeth, gums, tongue and mucous membranes) by the ImplArt professional.
Advantages of laser whitening?
Faster results than home whitening
Causes no or little tooth sensitivity
Day Clinic ImplArt
ImplArt Odontologia performs laser teeth whitening with the agility and convenience of a Day Clinic.
This type of service is ideal for people who want to have a more beautiful smile, whether for an upcoming event, such as a wedding, or even to give their look a boost, but who don’t have the time because of too many commitments in their daily lives, or for those who are in São Paulo for a short trip.
ImplArt’s high-tech structure and specialized team allow your treatment to be planned according to your needs and available time.
Whether this treatment can be carried out in a Day Clinic depends on an assessment of each case.
These are examples of questions frequently asked by patients. To clear up these doubts, it’s important to bear in mind a few points that go deeper than just the dental implant price. Here at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt, patients have their initial consultation directly with our clinical director, implant dentist Dr. Roberto Markarian, who clarifies all the information about implants during the first consultation.
Let’s follow more honest information about the price and cost of dental implants and prostheses and find out what influences the cost of implant treatment:
Dental implant costs can be determined by the type of dental implant used
There are currently several types of dental implants available and different types of dental prostheses, which give patients different options. The most suitable option for your case will be made in consultation, and your opinion will be very important in the final choice process. The characteristics of each material are presented so that the patient can choose with all the information about healing times and execution methods. In this regard, we should point out that there are everything from titanium implants to the modern ceramic implant, the only metal-free option and an excellent choice for those seeking biological dentistry.
There are fast-healing dental implants, such as the Straumann Slactive implant, as well as national implants with longer healing times. Therefore, your choice cannot be based solely on the price of an implant, but rather on a number of factors.
Dental implants how much ? How much does a dental implant cost? How much is a dental implant?
Of course, many of the calls and messages we receive relate to the cost of dental implants, total implants, dental contact lenses and dental treatments in general. And these questions above are the most frequently asked. How much the patient will spend on their dental implant treatment is undeniably one of the topics that causes concern for the patient.
However, it’s important to point out that there are currently several types of implants and prostheses, and that with so many options, it will certainly be easier to choose the ideal one for each case. We always try to explain that these questions can only be answered legitimately, through a dental consultation. There are two main reasons for this:
1. The first is that the Code of Ethics of the Federal Council of Dentistry forbade dentists from carrying out consultations in person. However, with the pandemic, online consultations with dentists were allowed. In this way, after an online consultation we will be able to provide you with an estimate of Dental implants how much they will cost
2. The second is that dental treatments can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient. There are numerous factors that influence treatment planning, for example:
Does the case require bone grafting or not? What type of implant will be chosen? Are there other treatment options available? What about the type of prosthesis? Immediate or delayed loading? Will a less invasive implant be used? Is it guided surgery, where a prior surgical guide is made?
The good news for those who live far away, whether abroad or in other states, is the possibility of making an initial consultation remotely, the online consultation.
Types of implants and crowns influence the value of dental implants / Dental implants how much ?
What’s more, many patients are unaware of the different types of implant, which, above all, can offer different recovery times and different indications. So there is a wide range of choices, and surely one will be right for you.
In this way, these more modern dentalimplants make it possible to shorten the treatment time with the rapid healing they offer.
It is also important to note that there are several types of prosthesis to be made on these dental implants, and the choice will be made jointly by the patient and specialist, depending on the desired results. Therefore, at your initial consultation, all the characteristics of each type of implant and prosthesis will be presented for your choice.
Type of implant chosen: The brand of post has an influence on How much does a tooth implant cost? The final cost of a dental implant treatment depends on a number of factors, such as the materials used, the qualifications of the professional, the technique used, among others. Therefore, the price of the total dental treatment will vary on the market.
How do I know the price of implant treatment? How much do dental implants cost?
First of all, it’s important to bear in mind that when it comes to quality dental treatments, the price of a dental implant can’t always be the deciding factor in the choice, but rather the quality of the service being offered. It is therefore essential that patients make their choice based on the trust and credibility of the clinic or professional providing the service, as well as the technical knowledge of the professionals, their years of practice and the technique to be used.
Undeniably, not every dental implant treatment is the same, firstly because of the differences in each case, and secondly because each professional has their own practice, technique and theoretical background. That’s why it’s very difficult to choose a professional based on price alone. If it’s too cheap, be wary! High-quality materials and qualified professionals have their value. Remember that the effort the professional has put into their qualifications throughout their career makes a direct difference to the outcome of your treatment!
How to measure the value of dental implants in the total dental treatment? what is the fair value/ Dental implants how much ?
As a result, we are able to offer the most modern technologies worldwide, which makes treatments more precise, faster and more comfortable for the patient. That’s why the ImplArt Implant Clinic is so sought after by patients who come from abroad, looking for the latest technology aligned with the best practices in dentistry worldwide, to carry out their intensive Day Clinic treatment. You should know that, for those who come from far away, it is possible to make an online consultation beforehand and with our technology, planning your dental implant surgery remotely is possible.
Dental implant and prosthesis techniques affect the value of dental implants
There are certainly several options for materials and techniques that influence the composition of a budget. What’s more, a treatment that may be suitable for one person may not be the right one for another.
Therefore, it is especially important to be assessed by a talented implant dentistry professional, who will evaluate each specific case and make the most appropriate recommendation to solve each case. Just to illustrate how treatment prices can vary, and the importance of a face-to-face assessment, at Clinica Dentária ImplArt we offer various dental implant options and different types of prostheses.
Short implants? Faster healing implants? Upon receiving a treatment recommendation, the patient will choose the type of implant and dental prosthesis they prefer with the dentist, after explaining the technical characteristics of each type.
The importance of an evaluation appointment to find out the cost of a dental implant
Another aspect that needs to be addressed is that patients may think they have a dental problem and believe that a particular treatment may be the most appropriate, but in reality it may be something else.
The dental surgeon is the professional who is qualified to look at oral health in general, as well as giving the necessary recommendations to keep teeth beautiful and healthy throughout life. That’s why it’s important to know that there is a wide range of options for solving the same problem.

Treatment planning involves various strategies and options of materials and techniques with different prices: cheaper or more expensive
At ImplArt Dental Clinic, we believe that dental treatment goes far beyond a simple monetary dental implant value.
There are important factors that influence cost-effectiveness, such as the health and well-being that a healthy set of teeth provides. We can mention the confident improvement in the patient’s self-esteem and the patient’s comfort during procedures with modern techniques and methodologies aimed at the patient’s well-being.
In this sense, the relationship of trust between patient and dentist, and above all our empathy for the patient, often brings with it anxieties, expectations, fears and even trauma from previous experiences. What do you think your smile is worth?
Frequently asked questions about dental implant prices and rehabilitation treatments
Does the Dental Implant Clinic charge for the first consultation?
Yes, the first consultation, the assessment consultation, has a cost. Without a doubt, it is important to note that the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, classifies it as an ethical infringement to offer free consultations and diagnoses, as well as to display the cost of dental implants in a generic manner.
At the ImplArt Dental Clinic, the patient will be assessed by the clinic’s director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, who holds important academic degrees such as Master’s, Doctorate and Specialist in Prosthodontics and Implantology.
It is also important to note that our clinical director has extensive experience in thousands of treatments for functional and aesthetic oral rehabilitation, with dental implants and prostheses. He is also considered a benchmark in digital implants and prostheses, with 3D modeling, which is why we receive patients who come from all over the world in search of our quality of care, not just for the value of dental implants.
Because of his knowledge and credibility, he is sought out by patients from all over the world and is responsible for guiding the team of highly qualified specialists who make up the Clinic’s team. Therefore, it is from his experience and solid academic background that he will propose a solution to the patient’s problem, supported by the most modern practices in world dentistry.
What can be requested at the initial consultation?
In order to allow for an in-depth analysis of the case,the patient may be asked toundergo some radiological examinations to help with the diagnosis and treatment planning.
Of course, if the patient already has previous, recent tests (up to 1 year), these can be presented at the initial consultation. Undoubtedly, the examinations are a fundamental tool for a complete analysis of the patient’s needs and for determining the cost of the dental implant.
There are dentists who don’t charge for consultations, why do you?
First and foremost, we follow the rules of the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, which specifies that dental services cannot be free of charge, in the same way as medical consultations.
Certainly the culture in dentistry is improving and the number of dentists who charge for consultations is growing. It’s important to make sure that, above all, the dentist who will be seeing you has studied at university and takes frequent postgraduate courses.
Your time is valuable, just as it is in other health professions. I’m sure you also want highly qualified treatment, and we have the technical knowledge and the latest technology to offer it.
Do you accept any dental plans?
In order to offer patients the most modern treatments, our treatments are private.
In fact, most dental plans don’t offer cover for dental prostheses, implants or aestheticprocedures, which are precisely the focus of our clinic. However, plans can be used for the reimbursement system or free choice, depending on the value of the dental implant.
There are certainly companies that offer this system to their employees. In this way, the patient pays for their treatment and then, through the specific procedures of each plan, receives part or all of the amounts paid, according to the rules of each plan. In this case, we offer support so that you can apply for reimbursement.
Can I send my tests by e-mail to get a better idea of the cost of treatment before I go to the clinic?
Nowadays, for those who live abroad or in other cities and want to schedule their trip to the Day Clinic for treatment , it is possible to have an online consultation (Teleodontology). What are the cases in which we can carry out an online consultation?
Care for patients who are already undergoing treatment and are unable to return to the office.

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

Know more about the risks and dangers of dental implants
Crucial to the success of the procedure is the thorough planning of the implant surgery and the choice of specialist professionals who are qualified to carry out the dental implant surgery. This increases the chance of success of this important treatment, and therefore the chances of any complications are minimal.
So rest assured that you can enjoy all the benefits that this rehabilitative and safe treatment offers patients. The implant-supported prosthesis is made to resemble the person’s other natural teeth and also offer similar chewing strength.
Oral rehabilitation with dental implants is usually the best option for re-establishing the patient’s aesthetic and chewing functions, a treatment called total dental implantation.
Patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) can exert a lot of force on the implants, with an increased chance of breakage or fracture of the implants or the parts that make up the implant prostheses.
Patients who bruxism also increase the risk of loosening the screws that fix the implant crown. When this happens, the patient reports that the implant is “soft”. However, we mustn’t confuse the prosthesis becoming loose with the implant pin coming loose from the bone (which is much more serious).
Most commonly, when the problem is just the loose implant tooth, the patient feels no pain, while when the implant is lost there is always pain. If the implant fractures or comes loose from the bone, it must be replaced, starting the dental implant process all over again.
Check complete PODCAST about 5 biggest risks for dental implants:
Is it the dentist’s fault that my implant fractured?
There are several factors to consider, some of which would be the material of the prosthesis, the number and positioning of the implants, correct surgical technique, material of the dental implant, type of prosthetic components chosen, type of prosthetic connection chosen.
Assuming that the professionals are working to do their best, it’s rare that there will be any negligence in this regard. What really counts is the willingness of the patient and the professional to start again, perhaps trying to improve or perfect one of the strategies.

2 – Inflammation in implants and risks
Inflammation can occur in a dental implant, manifesting itself as pain, swelling, pain when chewing, bleeding, and even the formation of pus in the implant. Please note that in any area of medicine where an artificial part is used inside the human body, there can be an adverse reaction of rejection.
This rejection phenomenon can occur in relation to the dental implant or an associated material such as a bone graft or a protective membrane. Bacterial infection can also occur in the implants, which can even prevent bone integration.
The implant on the left in the image has inflammatory bone loss, while the implant on the right has a normal bone level
That’s why all treatments at ImplArt begin with a thorough oral cleaning, as well as the removal of any infectious diseases such as cavities and periodontal disease. The patient will only have implant surgery if their mouth is clean and their oral health is good.
This is possible even if the patient doesn’t have all their teeth yet. When the prostheses on implants are finished, we teach the patient how to properly clean the dental implant. This correct hygiene is very important and certainly contributes to the chances of success of the dental implant.
Inflammation in implants leads to aesthetic, gum and bone problems
3 – Risk of facial nerve damage
If the surgery is not well planned, with the use of CT scans and other imaging tests for mapping,damage to the jaw nerve can occur during dental implant surgery. In the area at the back of the mouth in the lower arch, there is a nerve that can be very superficial, especially if the patient has been without teeth for many years.
In patients with advanced periodontal disease, bone loss can also put the nerve at risk due to its proximity.To reduce the risk of nerve damage and paresthesia, the implant dentist will carry out imaging tests. The most commonly requested exam is a panoramic X-ray, but a cone beam CT scan helps to measure the bone and plan the implant.
Computer-guided surgery – reducing risks
To minimize the risks even further, we can perform computer-guided partial or total implant surgery, which offers little invasiveness and allows for perfect positioning of the dental implant, with no room for error.
Crooked or poorly positioned implants can have poor bone integration or even rejection. It is not in all cases that we are able to recover the patient from oral nerve damage or poorly placed implants.
Depending on the severity of the problem, an injury to the jaw nerve can lead to sequelae such as numbness in the jaw or loss of sensation in the tongue or to the sensation of tastes (gustation).
At the ImplArt dental clinic, 100% of cases are operated on with a CT scan, which can be done in our own radiology center.
Guided implant surgery reduces the risk of dental implant positioning errors
4 – Risks in the bone around the implants
Bone loss can occur in an implant that has suffered infection while healing in the bone. In addition, in cases where immediate loading is carried out, i.e. a temporary or permanent tooth is placed in position immediately after surgery, there is a greater risk of bone and implant loss.
This is because the newly placed dental implant does not yet have a mature attachment to the bone and needs to rely exclusively on its mechanical locking into the bone in order to fix itself. Most of the time, if the indication and technique are correct, immediate loading works well.
But in cases of immediate failure, the consequences can be serious, for example leading to major bone loss in the area. There are more advanced dental implant models that have improvements to the fit of the tooth and also in the chemistry of the surface so that healing in the bone occurs faster and more efficiently.
Implant shapes and models have to do with clinical indications
5 – Increase in risk factors – patient health and habits
There are risks to the success of implant treatment that don’t depend on the professional or the materials used, but on patient factors. Failure to clean the teeth,smoking and diabetes increase the chance of problems with the dental implant.
In this article, we only discuss the RISKS in dental implants, however the success rates of dental implants are very high, especially for current implant dentistry techniques performed by a dental implant specialist.
Dental implants are an excellent treatment if they are well indicated, planned and executed.
Come and see our work! The ImplArt Dental Clinic has been dedicated to implant dentistry and oral rehabilitation for 18 years. We are located in São Paulo, Brazil.
Dr. Roberto Markarian is a reference in dental implants and computerized dental prostheses in Brazil. As well as having more than 10,000 implants installed, he is a researcher who produces knowledge that is published worldwide in renowned scientific journals in the field of dentistry. He is responsible for promoting knowledge and high technology applied in all the treatments offered by the ImplArt Dental Clinic.
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 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.
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.
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!
