The best dental implants in the world now

They have shown excellent long-term results, with documented success rates. In addition, it has excellent osseointegration capacity. Roxolid SLA implants have a reduced length and diameter, so they can be an option for dental implant treatment in patients with reduced bone volume and who are therefore unable or unwilling to undergo a bone grafting procedure.

The Roxolid dental implant is highly resistant and also has options for shorter sizes and reduced diameters. Advantages of Roxolid swiss implants:

  • Faster healing and therefore less post-operative discomfort. As a result, osseointegration is expected within 2 months.
  • Small-diameter and/or short Swiss implants are mainly an option for patients who need small but strong implants.
  • Indicated for patients with reduced bone volume or other defects. It is therefore an alternative for some patients who have an indication for a bone graft procedure.
  • Thanks to the technology that favors osseointegration, the dentist is able to predict the results.
  • Highly resistant implants with smaller size options
  • Smaller implants help protect vital structures and vascularization
  • Better adaptation in small spaces

Alternatives to dental bone grafting

Dental bone grafting is a subject that often generates a lot of doubts and even fear in patients. It is a technique indicated for reconstructing bone structures in the mandible and maxilla when patients have little volume or defects, especially those who wish to place dental implants.

Implants without dental bone graft: are there alternatives?

However, every patient is assessed individually. And today we have new techniques for bone grafting. In fact, for some, the indication of bone grafting is inevitable, while for others, there are alternatives to grafting, such as:

  • Short implants (little vertical bone volume)
  • Small diameter pins (little horizontal bone volume)
  • Roxolid Straumann reinforced titanium implants (smaller and stronger)
  • Implant + simultaneous graft
  • Bone micrografts or small grafts
  • All on four” technique for full arches
  • Inclined implants
  • Zygomatic implant
  • Guided surgeries with short or tilted implants
Short and narrow grafts can be an alternative to dental bone grafting techniques

Small bone grafts or micrografts are alternatives to bone grafts

ImplArt Odontologia’s philosophy is to avoid bone grafts as much as possible and has mastered alternative techniques to avoid their use whenever possible. By avoiding dental bone grafting, treatment becomes faster and the patient undergoes fewer surgical steps. However, nowadays bone grafts are small and very restricted to the implant site. In the past, only large grafts were performed.

That’s why the micrograft technique is better and has less pain after surgery. Dental implants without grafting before and after Dr. Roberto Markarian, the clinic’s coordinator, is an experienced dental implant specialist with more than a thousand implants installed, and cases of before and after implants.

Thanks to its extensive clinical and surgical experience, ImplArt has been able to treat countless cases without bone grafts – which may have been indicated by other specialists. The indication of techniques depends on a thorough examination of the patient, as well as their tests, such as CT scans and X-rays.

If you have them, come to your assessment appointment with all your tests. If you don’t have them, for your convenience they can be carried out in our digital radiology center inside the clinic (at a separate cost).
