High-tech Straumann dental implants in Brazil

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 Slactive dental implant version with rapid healing of 1 month. This means that one month after implant surgery, the final crown can be fitted.

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.

Straumann Roxolid implants

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.

Straumann Pure Ceramic Implants

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.

Straumann Bone Level Implants

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.

Straumann SLA implants

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).

Straumann SLActive implants

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.

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!

Technology: metal free prostheses made by computer and AI

The main characteristic of metal-free prostheses is the absence of metal in their structure. For example, they don’t need a metal support for the porcelain to be applied. In this way, unitary prostheses or fixed bridges look more like natural teeth.

Metal-free, computer-engineered prostheses with artificial intelligence AI

The structure of metal free dentures is made of zirconia, a very resistant white ceramic material.

Its light shade is comparable to human dentin, so the inside of the prosthesis is discreet, even when subjected to light.

This is not the case with metal-framed dentures, which can have dark spots in the same situation. The use of dentures and artificial intelligence.

the use of dentures can be optimized with the help of artificial intelligence.

Computer dentures are an effective solution for replacing missing teeth. It can be a single prosthesis or a fixed bridge, providing a more natural look and similarity to natural teeth.

Metal-free dentures are made from zirconia, a resistant white ceramic material that has a light shade similar to human dentin. This ensures that the inside of the prosthesis is discreet even when exposed to light. In addition, the use of dentures can be optimized with the help of artificial intelligence.

New computerized dental prosthesis technologies, combined with artificial intelligence, offer more efficient work proposals and faster completion times.

More advantages of digital technologies and computerized dentures

In addition, other positive points of computerized dental prosthesis technology are: improved aesthetics, high durability, translucency and little chance of gray spots appearing in the gum areas. At ImplArt Odontologia, the entire molding process for metal-free crowns is done by computerized intraoral scanners.

The digital mold is the basis for planning the prosthesis and the crowns are made using 3D tooth printers. All systems are based on the Cad/Cam system. If you have any questions, please contact us or make an appointment.

At-home or in-office teeth whitening?

With the teeth whitening technique, you can achieve a more beautiful smile and get rid of discomfort. Teeth whitening is an ideal option for looking after your dental aesthetics and keeping your oral health up to date.

Many people are embarrassed to take photos, smile or even talk because of their teeth. Yellowing and stains on the teeth cause discomfort and discomfort.

Laser teeth whitening technique

Procedure improves smile presentation and self-esteem

Teeth whitening is a process that removes pigments and stains from tooth enamel and dentin using a special gel enhanced by laser light. Because the treatment is simple, most people can undergo it, and there are even techniques for children as young as 10.

However, in order to better define how whitening will be carried out, the dentist needs to assess each patient individually, looking at details such as the cause of the darkening, age and the integrity and shade of the teeth. However, older age and grayer stains make the process more difficult.

In which cases can the laser teeth whitening technique be used?

Before starting laser whitening, the person needs to undergo a better assessment of the oral tissues, taking into account the teeth, gums, tongue and internal mucosa. As each case is different, there is no whitening standard. In principle, teeth that are yellowed, brown, evenly darkened or with black, brown and yellow stains (as a result of drinking tea, coffee, cigarettes and plaque build-up) are more easily removed.

On the other hand, in cases where teeth are blue in color, have streaks caused by antibiotics or irregular stains, the whitening process is likely to be more difficult. In short, the worst cases are teeth with old endodontic problems and very dark stains. Dentures and restorations are not whitened with this technique.

In addition to the laser whitening technique, home whitening is a better option for those who don’t want to go to the dentist for sessions. It can be done by the patient themselves using a special gel and trays. Learn more about the technique below.

Home teeth whitening technique

Home teeth whitening done by the patient themselves is gaining a lot of followers due to its convenience and practicality, since the person doesn’t need to go to the dentist’s office to have the procedure done. However, it’s worth noting that, even if it’s done at home, the teeth whitening technique can only be recommended by a dentist after an assessment of the patient in consultation.

The technique is indicated for people who want to take care of their dental aesthetics and have stained teeth, yellowish pigmentation or who suffer from old endodontic problems. However, before starting whitening, oral health is assessed, as it must be up to date, with no sores, bleeding, cavities or tartar.

To whiten teeth at home, the patient uses a carbamide peroxide gel with a carbopol concentration of 10%, 16% or 22%. Flexible trays are then used to deposit the gel, which are then fitted to the teeth to start the treatment.

Duration of Whitening Treatment

The home procedure takes between 1 and 3 weeks to complete. The gel can be used in one session lasting 3 to 4 hours. Another option is two short sessions of 30 minutes to 1 hour. Although this technique takes longer to show results than laser whitening, it is considered less aggressive to the patient, as faster treatments can cause temporary side effects.

In addition, the professional must monitor whether the technique is being carried out correctly and, finally, whether the steps are being followed. If you have any questions, please contact us through one of the channels below or book an appointment with us.

There is also teeth whitening that combines both techniques, laser whitening and home whitening.

The combined whitening technique works very well and is considered better than the two others individually. You’ll also like to know about it:

dental implant surgery

What is dental implant surgery like?

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

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

What is the best dental implant?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Are you afraid of dental implant surgery?

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

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

Como é a cirurgia de implante dentário - dente unitário - Clínica em São Paulo - SP

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

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

Recovery from dental implant surgery / after dentalimplants?

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

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

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