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.

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:

  • Endodontist – root canal treatment.
  • 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.
aesthetic oral rehabilitation
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).

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.

Example of replacing a denture with a fixed zirconia prosthesis on implants

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

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

Will chewing ability improve after implants?

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

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

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

Dental prosthesis

The specialty of prosthodonticsaims to make dental prostheses to replace lost teeth, with the aim of restoring oral function and aesthetics. It is considered dental art, since this specialty has the mission of creating prostheses that are increasingly similar to natural human teeth (in shape, color, translucency and texture). Dental prosthesis models range from the mobile type (dentures), protocol prosthesis, to dental crowns that are fixed to dental implants. Learn more

Endodontics

Endodontics is the area of dentistry responsible for treating diseases of the dental pulp, root canal system and periapical tissues. It carries out root canal treatment with the aim of maintaining the tooth and avoiding its extraction. Read more

Periodontics

Periodontics isresponsible for identifying and treating periodontal diseases, the most common of which are caries, gingivitis, plaque build-up, tartar formation and periodontitis (inflammation of the bone tissue that supports the tooth). This specialty also performs surgery to correct gummy smiles. Learn more

Dental Radiology

Dental radiology is of fundamental importance, especially for diagnosing functional problems and oral diseases using X-ray images. It also helps other specialties to plan dental implant surgery and monitor the progress of treatment or surgery that has already been carried out. These exams include panoramic radiography and computed tomography. Find out more.

In addition, the structure of the ImplArt Dental Clinic includes the main technologies used in modern dentistry, both for diagnosis and for treatment and follow-up. At Clinica Dentaria ImplArt you will find:

For those coming from far away, you should know that it is possible to make an online appointment and even plan your dental implant surgery remotely, and organize your Day Clinic.

Dental zirconia: better aesthetics for dental prostheses

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

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

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

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

The evolution of aesthetic dentures

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Zirconia – far superior aesthetics

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

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

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

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