Fear of dental implants – Resources available at ImplArt

Many people feel scared at the thought of going to the dentist. Many people are afraid of dental implants, believing that they will feel a lot of pain with the dreaded little motors and needles of anesthesia. Others experience nausea or motion sickness during treatment, especially when an instrument touches their mouth or tongue. Be aware that implant surgery is now very simple and quick.

Afraid of Dental Implants?

Understand why there’s no reason to be afraid of implants at ImplArt

But believe me, the reality is that dental implant surgery is easier than you might think and there really is nothing to be afraid of. Dentistry has come a long way with the use of less invasive implant techniques to offer comfort to the patient and ImplArt has incorporated the most effective current techniques into its practice to minimize any discomfort. In addition, there are several types of implant that can make treatment faster and more comfortable.

Differencia Clinica Dentaria ImplArt for those who are afraid

ImplArt is always in line with the latest developments in the world of dentistry. First and foremost, it uses advanced techniques to ensure that its patients have a quiet, minimally invasive, comfortable and painless surgery. Get to know our resources and see that it’s worth having your aesthetic and functional oral rehabilitation without the fear of dental implants.

Humanized treatment helps tackle dentist phobia

Fears and phobias of dentists usually stem from previous bad experiences. Examples include previous treatments that were poorly carried out, without respect for the patient’s needs, and treatments that involved pain.

ImplArt has a great deal of experience in dental implants, as well as dealing with people’s expectations and fears in this regard. Over the years, we have received many people who were terrified of undergoing dental implant surgery, as well as the aftermath.

In this way, we have seen how most patients respond very well to the humanized treatment we offer, which allows us to gradually rehabilitate the patient so that they can overcome their fears and limitations.

We are ready to listen to your needs, fears and your historywith dentists

At the end of the treatment, benefiting from modern techniques and humanization, it is common to see a reduction in the patient’s phobias and even a cure for the fear of dentists (odontophobia). We affirm that the advantages of good oral health and an aesthetic smile are well worth it.

ImplArt’s entire team is committed to welcoming and understanding all the needs, fears and traumas that people bring with them. Don’t let fear of the dentist stop you from enjoying the benefits of a fixed prosthesis on implants.

We are ready to help you with your case and restore masticatory function and the aesthetics of your smile!

Efficient pre-anesthesia helps in odontophobic cases

At ImplArt we use a much more efficient pre-anesthetic than the old “ointment”. It promotes a much deeper numbness of the region even before receiving the internal anesthesia.

Juvapen electronic anesthesia – anesthesia almost without pain

With Swiss technology, Juvapen electronic anesthesia offers more comfort and precision in anesthetic applications. It is an electronic syringe in which the dentist informs the dose of anesthesia to be applied.

In this way, the amount of medication will be precise and applied very slowly and gently, considerably reducing any discomfort. In normal dental anesthesia, which is done by hand, the dentist injects the anesthetic liquid more quickly.

In fact, that’s what causes the pain, not necessarily the needle. According to surveys, 87% of the patients interviewed thought that electronic anesthesia was less or not at all painful than manual injections.

Deep intravenous sedation puts the phobic patient to sleep

Sedation is a technique indicated for those who are very afraid of dentists, afraid of feeling pain, as well as the noise of the motor, the needle, blood, etc.

It allows the patient’s level of consciousness to decrease at the time of the surgical procedure. But sedation does not affect the ability to breathe and respond to physical stimulation and verbal commands.

An anesthesiologist applies a sedative drug intravenously before the procedure. The patient then falls asleep, but is continuously monitored by the doctor and monitoring devices. In practice, it’s like a deep, relaxing sleep for the patient.

Most of the time, there are no memories of the procedures. The patient only wakes up when the procedures are finished, and the doctor continues to monitor their recovery until they can walk out of the room.

The procedure becomes simple, as well as comfortable for the patient, because when they wake up all the work has already been done. Read more about sedation.

There is another form of gas sedation (nitrous oxide), which we do not use at ImplArt. In our experience, gas sedation is very superficial and is not effective for patients who are actually “afraid of dental implants “. Only in extreme cases of panic on the part of the dentist will treatment need to be carried out under general anesthesia in hospital.

*Do not confuse sedation with general anesthesia. General anesthesia is much more complex and can only be done in a hospital.

Day Clinic Odontológico – Faster treatments help patients who have difficulty going to the dentist

The Day Clinic or Dental Spa is a type of intensive treatment that, among other advantages, is suitable for those who are afraid of dental implants. In a Day Clinic, the patient can arrive at the office without teeth and leave with a dental implant and temporary prosthesis on the same day (in selected and favorable cases).

Intensive treatment is a great relief for those who are afraid of dental implants, because they spend less time in the office in order to solve their problem. However, the most important thing is to carry out as many procedures as possible in the shortest possible time. At ImplArt we have a modern and complete structure for this purpose.

Digital dentistry techniques, computerized molds and fabrication of teeth, our own laboratory and trained staff speed up treatment.

computer-guided implant surgery for pain-free surgery, afraid of dental implants

Guided dental implant surgery makes implants faster and less invasive

Computer-guided implant surgery is a technique that makes it possible to carry out the procedure in a way that is less invasive and therefore more comfortable and painless. In addition, guided surgery favors a faster recovery in the post-operative period of dental implants.

In order to plan the case, the patient undergoes a CT scan. The 3D images from the CT scan, combined with a digital mold of your mouth using an intraoral scanner, are used to make a plastic guide.

This surgical guide acts as a template with the exact indications where the thinner implants should be positioned, according to the bone volume.

In this way, unnecessary cuts in the gums are avoided in most cases. This certainly means a lot of comfort for the patient in the post-operative recovery, as well as faster surgery.

How do I get a dental implant?

Many people want to know how to get a dental implant. The installation of dental implants is certainly a very simple procedure. In the case of single implants, it shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to place.

How to get a dental implant if I’m afraid of surgery. What should I do?

In general, there is only mild discomfort after an implant has been placed and you’ll be able to work the next day. So you don’t need to worry about the details of how to get a dental implant.

However, it’s important to note that there is little innervation for pain in the bone, with only the gums providing sensitivity (which is easily controlled with medication). If necessary, conscious sedation can be used to reduce anxiety. Read a full article on why you shouldn’t be afraid of implants.

bone-integrated dental implant is the fixation of the implant in the bone, implants

What are osseointegrated implants?

They are a new generation of implants introduced in the 1960s, but which have only now reached a degree of universal acceptability. Osseointegrated implants are made of titanium or all-ceramic and are placed in toothless areas. They are able to perform masticatory and functional functions in a similar way to natural teeth.

It is usually carried out in two stages: firstly, the insertion of the implant – a more extensive operation – and secondly, a few months later, the placement of devices that will support the prostheses. These can be made within a short period of time after this second stage.

Today we have a wide variety of dental implants available in different lengths and diameters to meet many oral rehabilitation needs. There are even some with physical and chemical technology on the surface that favors and speeds up the osseintegration process, allowing implants and prostheses to be installed in up to 1 month.

Are implants better than removable dentures?

Yes, dental implants are certainly better than dentures and removable prostheses (mobile bridges). They have similar functional capacity to fixed dental prostheses in cases of relatively small edentulous spaces.

But the choice of one treatment or another must be carefully analyzed by the professional according to the patient’s request, as the situations are very diverse and prevent discussion with fixed rules. However, in cases of total edentulism or posterior areas, the solution with implants is usually better from a functional point of view.

Read about replacing dentures with implants with fixed prosthesis

What are the chances of an implant working?

Long-term studies have shown that certain types of implants have success rates of over 90% for implants placed and success rates of over 97% for prostheses (because the loss of an implant does not necessarily mean the loss of the prosthesis, as it is supported by other implants).

However, this success rate is average and does not apply equally to all areas of the mouth. The failure rate in lower edentulous patients is close to 0% (zero percent) and in the posterior region of the maxilla, with less dense bone and after placing short implants (due to the maxillary sinuses), the rate can reach 33%. Read the full article on problems that can occur with implants.

implante pilar coroa 50kb — *Dental implant and connected tooth (crown)*

What’s so magical about titanium dental implants?

Titanium has been used in orthopedics for many decades. Simply put, titanium does not corrode when inserted into the human body and does not show immune rejection phenomena, in the same way as other metals in the same family, such as niobium for example.

The success of the technique is due to a good set of factors and the characteristics of titanium are undoubtedly positive, but on their own they do not guarantee the success of the procedure. Success depends, in short, on the planning of the surgical technique (which avoids overheating the bone), a healing period without the prosthesis being fitted, and the fitting of a suitable prosthesis.

This implant protocol has details that cannot be overlooked, and a competent professional who is well trained in the technique can achieve excellent results.

Is there a guarantee of success when getting a dental implant? Can I get rejection?

In principle, a high success rate is a good guarantee, but in biological processes there is always a certain amount of imponderability. There is no possibility of absolute certainty of success, but due to the aforementioned rates, the discomfort of surgery is much less than the benefit of having a fixed prosthesis. Even in cases of failure, the procedure can be redone after some time.

I have a tooth with a small infection. One dentist says to do surgery on the root and leave the crown as it is. Another thinks it’s better to get an implant. The price difference is huge. Which would be better?

Both alternatives are good, depending on the indication. The first option would be indicated in cases where the root is in good condition. The second would be the best course of action in cases offractured roots, lesions or cavities, i.e. the tooth needs to be extracted in its entirety and then replaced with a dental implant and fixed prosthesis.

Nowadays there is a tendency to opt for implants because we know that the treatments last a long time and have predictable results. This way, the cost/benefit of the treatment certainly pays off.

How long does a dental implant last? What is its lifespan?

It can be said that in 95% of cases, if dental implants are not lost within the first two years of use, they are likely to last for most of the patient’s life.

Are dental implants aesthetically pleasing?

It depends a lot on the system used and the local conditions. Aesthetics have improved a lot in recent years. Remember: however good the implant and the professional, a dental implant is still a prosthesis, i.e. the replacement of natural teeth with artificial ones. Excessive expectations of implants are common, but they are usually followed by a certain amount of frustration.

In many cases, the aesthetic solution is only acceptable. The best reasoning is functional: the implant is far superior to other prosthetic procedures and in the absence of teeth, it is certainly the best that can be achieved.

Should I go back to the dentist after implants and dentures?

From the outset, patients must be aware that they are a fundamental part of the success of the treatment. They must commit to maintaining proper oral hygiene and attend check-ups for professional cleaning of the prosthesis and even for radiographic examinations to monitor the implants inside the bone.

Isn’t it overkill for the dentist to order a CT scan to analyze the bone?

No, especially in the upper arch. A detailed study using computed tomography avoids surprises, especially those in the previous question.

Will chewing ability improve after implants?

Implants have much better functional results than dentures or removable prostheses. Patients who have been wearing dentures for a long time feel a significant difference when implants are fitted.

Do I get sensitivity when I chew if I have a dental implant?

A healthy dental implant doesn’t have any kind of sensitivity or pain when chewing. The sensation of having a dental implant must be imperceptible.

If there isn’t enough bone, are there ways to increase the amount of bone available?

Yes, in the maxillary area, surgeries can be performed to augment the ridge and/or lift the maxillary sinus, taking bone from the chin, the ramus of the mandible or the iliac crest. In this way, the bone grafting technique can be used to correct small defects (powder bonegrafting ) and large defects (block bone grafting).

Read more about bone grafting here. In the mandible, deviation of the inferior alveolar nerve can also be performed, but the possibility of post-operative sequelae greatly reduces its indication.

Because it’s a foreign material, are there any risks of rejection or contamination with viruses, for example? How is an implant sterilized?

No rejection occurs , as titanium is an immunologically inert material. As for contamination, when it does occur, it’s usually through surgery and not due to flaws in the implant manufacturing process. Any of the methods normally used to sterilize implants – gamma radiation or gas – offer total safety.

Can implants be placed in people who are pre-disposed to plaque?

Yes, those with a predisposition to plaque and periodontal disease can have implants, as long as the process is controlled and there is a commitment to oral hygiene after rehabilitation, including regular visits to the dental office for professional cleanings.

How much do dental implants cost?

The price of any dental treatment can only be determined through a face-to-face consultation in which many aspects specific to each person will be assessed. Oral rehabilitation with dental implants is not a standardized procedure that is the same for everyone.

Each case has its own particularities and must be answered with specific procedures before calculating a price. We at ImplArt Odontologia would be delighted to receive your visit so that we can better understand your case! If you have any questions, please contact us through one of the channels below.

Do dental implants make the metal sensors at the bank or airport beep?

In the vast majority of cases, the dental implant is not detected by the metal sensor at the bank or airport. However, we have heard reports of sensors beeping when the dental prosthesis is made of metal. However, today we have options for metal-free dentures that don’t carry this risk, such as zirconia dentures.

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

Dental implants in one day with Straumann SLActive

Dental implants in one day are done when the entire dental arch is rehabilitated with dental implants and a prosthesis in a few hours

First of all, we would like to point out that the implantation of all teeth is mainly indicated for patients with total edentulism (absence of all teeth) or with few compromised teeth, when extractions are indicated. Dental implants in one day is the best way to restore self-esteem and quality of life to edentulous patients. Patients in this condition are sometimes in a hurry to resolve the case. However, not everyone can be treated quickly, because it all depends on each case.

However, a patient who has been without teeth for a long time and has advanced bone loss, which until then was considered a complex case, can now receive a total implant with a fixed prosthesis in thirty days. Research in the field of implant dentistry is increasingly seeking to develop solutions so that implant healing can take place more quickly. For this reason, the Swiss company Straumann, a world leader in the research and development of solutions for implant dentistry, has created the SLActive implant. This modern implant enables rapid healing, expected to take 1 month.

Total Implant in 1 month – main requirements

Why is full implantation with dental implants in one day is possible with Straumann materials?

It has technology on its surface that stimulates and accelerates the healing process of the implants, making it possible in some cases to complete the total implant treatment in 1 month.

However the dental implants in one day, are placed in the jawbone and a temporary tooth is placed. The complete treatment cycle will take about a month.

The SLActive implants have a micro-roughness on the titanium surface that favors the adhesion of cells and proteins that will form new bone tissue around the implant. This process is called osseointegration of the dental implant, which is undoubtedly important for keeping it fixed and stable over the years.

In addition, the SLActive dental implant line has a special implant size (4 or 6 mm) ideal for cases with little bone volume.

Here are some of the proven advantages of SLActive dental implants in one day:

Healing time reduced from 6-8 weeks to 3-4 weeks;
60% reduction in the risk of implant loss;
There is a 98% success rate in cases of immediate or early loading – less than 1 month (21 days);
Improves bone deposition in the early stages of osseointegration;
Often avoids second surgery to reopen the dental implant
Better implant stability in more advanced stages of healing.

The most common form of total implantation (dental implants in one day) is the placement of six titanium implant pins in the upper jaw and four in the mandible. Immediately after the healing period, dentures can then be attached to the implants. Unlike a removable prosthesis (dentures), which covers the roof of the mouth to allow it to be fixed, and makes it difficult to perceive the taste of food, the prosthesis on implants is thin and occupies only the region of the dentition, leaving the other spaces in the mouth free, similar to the situation found when there are natural teeth. Currently, dental implant treatment with the most modern materials is the Zirconia protocol and the porcelain protocol on a total implant.

Types of prostheses available for full-mouth dental implants in one day

Porcelain prosthesis

Aesthetic and highly resistant material. It is therefore very similar to natural teeth. By virtue of having an internal structure made of metal alloy (metal-ceramic prosthesis) or zirconia, it is an aesthetic, white and metal-free material (metal-freeprosthesis );

Dental protocol prosthesis

Made of resin, it faithfully mimics the color of teeth and gums. However, it does require the patient to be more careful about eating certain foods and drinks with very strong pigments, as well as habits such as smoking, as the resin is susceptible to staining. These include beet, coffee, carrots and wine.

As previously mentioned, dental implants in one day can even be indicated in cases that are considered complex. However, each case must be assessed individually and the type of implant and prosthesis can only be proposed according to each need.

If you have any questions about dental implants in one day, please make an appointment or contact us. We at the ImplArt dental clinic will be happy to help you.

How to prevent tooth loss and implants: flossing can prevent implants

Oral health is fundamental to general well-being, and a frequent question when it comes to oral hygiene is: “Do I really need to floss?” The answer is an emphatic YES. In this article, we’ll explore why flossing is indispensable, especially to avoid serious consequences. In addition, we’ll show you how to prevent tooth loss and implants with simple care that can easily be included in your daily routine.

When did flossing begin?

Dental floss was invented at the beginning of the 19th century. The first reference to the use of a specific thread for cleaning between the teeth was made in 1819 by the dentist Levi Spear Parmly, a professional from New Orleans, United States. He recommended the use of a silk thread to remove food particles and plaque from between the teeth, a practice he considered essential for the prevention of oral diseases.

Despite this early recommendation, dental floss was not widely adopted immediately. The popularization of dental floss began to grow at the end of the 19th century, especially after the company Codman & Shurtleff began marketing unwaxed silk floss in 1882. However, it wasn’t until the 20th century, with the mass production of dental floss by companies such as Johnson & Johnson, that flossing became common practice around the world.

Johnson & Johnson was the first company to patent dental floss in 1898, and from then on, the practice began to spread more widely, especially as awareness of the importance of oral hygiene increased in the 20th century.

Therefore, if we look carefully, it is relatively recent for the general population to know how to properly clean their teeth. If we think back to a time not so long ago, great-grandparents were the generation who wore dentures because they had lost all their teeth. The next generation learned a little more about caring for teeth. However, it was only recently that this panorama began to change, and knowledge about how to prevent tooth loss and implants began to spread.

Below, we’ll discuss how simple care routines are crucial for preserving teeth and oral health. Follow along!

How to prevent tooth loss and implants: Learn about the benefits of flossing

Flossing is an essential tool for preventing oral problems which, if neglected, can result in tooth loss and the need for dental implants. In Brazil, where around 55% of the adult population has some degree of gum disease, according to the Ministry of Health, flossing makes all the difference. It removes food debris and plaque that the toothbrush cannot reach, especially in the interdental areas.

Flossing daily drastically reduces the risk of cavities and gingivitis, preventing problems that can lead to the need for dental implants. In addition, regular flossing contributes to fresher breath and healthier teeth, preventing the build-up of bacteria that can cause serious problems.

Consequences of Not Flossing: From the Risk of Gingivitis to the Need for Dental Implants

Neglecting to floss can have severe consequences, culminating in tooth loss and the need for implants. Without proper plaque removal, the build-up between teeth significantly increases the risk of gum disease. Studies in Brazil show that around 18% of adults have lost at least one tooth due to periodontitis, a condition that starts with untreated gingivitis and can progress to bone loss and, eventually, the need for dental implants.

*Read more about periodontal disease in implants: “Can implants get periodontal disease?“

Tooth loss is not only an aesthetic problem, but also a functional one. The absence of one or more teeth can impair chewing, speech and even the structure of the face. Regular flossing can prevent these problems and the need for more invasive procedures such as dental implants.

DENTAL IMPLANTS DUE TO LACK OF DENTAL FLOSS — *Illustrative image shows the consequences of not flossing: Tooth decay between the teeth*

Historical Comparison: How Dental Floss Reduced the Need for Dental Implants in Brazil

Decades ago, oral health in Brazil was marked by high rates of tooth decay and tooth loss, often resulting in the need for dental implants. Before the popularization of dental floss, many Brazilians faced tooth loss at a young age. In the 1960s, for example, the average number of teeth lost per adult was alarming. With increased awareness and use of dental floss, these figures began to fall, also reducing the need for dental implants.

Recent IBGE data shows that total tooth loss in Brazilians over the age of 60 has fallen to less than 30% in recent years, a significant reduction compared to previous decades. This is largely due to increased education about oral hygiene, including flossing as a prevention against tooth loss and, consequently, the need for dental implants.

How to Floss Correctly

Flossing correctly is essential to ensure the effective removal of plaque and food debris from between the teeth, preventing problems such as cavities, gingivitis and, ultimately, the need for dental implants. Here’s a simple guide to doing it the right way:

Cut the floss: Use about 40 to 50 cm of floss. This allows you to use a clean piece of floss in each interdental space.
Wrap the thread: Wrap most of the thread around the middle finger of one hand and the rest around the middle finger of the other hand, leaving about 5 cm of thread between the fingers.
Hold and position: Hold the floss firmly between your thumbs and index fingers, keeping it taut. Insert the floss gently between the teeth, using a sawing motion to prevent the floss from slipping and hurting the gums.
C” motion: Curve the floss in a“ C” shape around a tooth, sliding it gently under the gum line. Run the floss up and down a few times to remove plaque and debris. Remember to also floss the side of the adjacent tooth.
Repeat in each space: Use a clean piece of floss for each space between the teeth. Repeat the process on all the teeth, including the bottom teeth, which are harder to reach.
Dispose of the floss: After finishing, dispose of the used floss. Never reuse the floss as it may already be contaminated with bacteria.

Here are some simple tips for flossing:

Following these steps helps ensure a thorough and effective cleaning, protecting your teeth and gums from future problems that could result in dental implants.

What are the effects of plaque caused by retained food?

Food that is trapped between the teeth can cause a series of oral problems due to the chemical and physical processes that occur over time. Here is a summary of the main effects:

1. Plaque build-up

When food debris is not removed, it accumulates between the teeth and serves as a source of nutrients for the bacteria in the mouth. These bacteria, mainly Streptococcus mutans, metabolize the carbohydrates in food, especially sugars and starches, to produce acids.

BACTERIAL PLAQUE — *Bacterial plaque: white film that forms around the tooth due to lack of hygiene*

2. Acid production

The metabolization of carbohydrates by microorganisms results in the production of organic acids, such as lactic acid, which are highly corrosive. These acids begin to dissolve tooth enamel, which is the outer protective layer of teeth made up mainly of hydroxyapatite, a mineral rich in calcium and phosphate.

3. Enamel demineralization

Continuous exposure to acid causes enamel demineralization, a process in which minerals (calcium and phosphate) are removed from the surface of the tooth, weakening it. This process is the initial stage in the formation of cavities. If left untreated, demineralization can progress to dentin, the innermost layer of the tooth, which is less resistant to acidity.

4. Tooth decay

Over time, persistent demineralization can lead to the formation of cavities (caries) in the enamel. If the decay is left untreated, it can progress to the dentin and eventually reach the dental pulp, where the nerves and blood vessels are located. This can result in pain, infection and, in severe cases, the need for root canal treatment or tooth extraction and implantation.

In addition to cavities, food debris and plaque that accumulate between the teeth can irritate the gums, leading to an inflammation known as gingivitis. If left untreated, gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, a more serious condition that affects the bone supporting the teeth and can result in tooth loss. Thus, if it progresses without care, it can lead to complete tooth loss and the need for a total implant with a prosthetic protocol.

6. Halitosis (Bad Breath)

Food trapped between the teeth, when broken down by bacteria, releases volatile compounds such as hydrogen sulphide and methyl mercaptan, which are the main causes of bad breath.

7. Tartar formation

If plaque is not removed, it can mineralize and harden, forming tartar (dental calculus). Tartar is difficult to remove with ordinary brushing and can cause even more irritation to the gums, as well as providing a rough surface where more plaque can accumulate.

Therefore, food trapped between the teeth can trigger a series of harmful reactions that not only erode the teeth, but also affect the gums and breath, underlining the importance of regular flossing to prevent these problems.

In addition, we should mention the need to visit the dentist regularly for oral health monitoring appointments and dental cleanings.

Conclusion on how to prevent tooth loss and implants

Flossing is more than a recommendation: it’s a necessity for maintaining oral health and avoiding serious consequences such as tooth loss and the need for dental implants. By flossing daily, you can protect your smile and ensure a healthier life. Don’t put off until tomorrow what can be done today – start taking care of your oral future now with flossing and regular visits to the dentist!

Metal-ceramic prosthesis for implants

Metal-ceramic prostheses, also known as porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) prostheses, offer a reliable and durable solution for patients seeking tooth replacement with both aesthetic appeal and structural strength. These prostheses consist of a metal framework covered with layers of porcelain, ensuring a natural look while providing long-lasting stability. Widely used in dental rehabilitation, PFM prostheses are ideal for patients who need durable solutions, particularly in areas of the mouth where the force of chewing is greater.

At Clínica ImplArt, the application of metal-porcelain prostheses combines advanced dental technology with expert craftsmanship, ensuring optimal results for each patient. The clinic’s dental specialists are well-versed in modern techniques that improve both the functionality and the aesthetics of these prostheses, delivering a solution that blends seamlessly with natural teeth while maintaining high resistance to wear and tear over time.

The metal-ceramic prosthesis is a traditional material for making crowns on implants

Metal-ceramic (metal + ceramic) crowns and prostheses are the most common option for making a crown or prosthesis on an implant.

How do the prostheses work with this building materials?

Metal acts as a structural reinforcement, while porcelain offers aesthetics. Therefore, the positive points of this material are: resistance, great durability and aesthetics, characteristics that are very similar to natural teeth.

proteses metaloceramicas para implantes individuais 45kb — 1 – *Metal-ceramic* *prosthesis* *for single implants* 2 – Metal-ceramic *prosthesis for individual implants* 3 – *Metal-ceramic prosthesis for implants – several teeth*.

Metal-ceramic dentures also have a great ability to blend in with the natural coloring of neighboring teeth. Porcelain can also be used for the prosthesis of one or more teeth on dental implants. Metal-ceramic prostheses on dental implants are undoubtedly a highly durable and comfortable option for patients.

Among the indications for metal-ceramic crowns on implants are also crowns, bridges and complete fixed prostheses. One of the great difficulties in working with metal ceramics is the need to completely hide the metal.

Example of metal-ceramic prostheses made at the ImplArt Clinic

How are the aesthetics of metal-ceramic dental crowns? Does the metal not show?

This model of crown can change over the years. Sometimes the gums can recede over time and expose a metal line, compromising the aesthetics of the smile.

Especially in areas where aesthetics are essential, we recommend zirconia crowns. These are prostheses with an internal structure made of zirconia, a white ceramic material with a shade and translucency very similar to human dentin.

In addition, the application of porcelain in metal-ceramic prostheses is completely handmade and the final aesthetic depends a lot on the skill of the ceramist (technician who works with ceramics).

If you have any questions about techniques, prices or treatments, please contact us or make an appointment. We’ll be happy to welcome you!

Immediate loading for dental implants – indications

Immediately loaded dental implants are a technique in which the procedure of placing a dental implant and fixed prosthesis is carried out more quickly. In this way, it helps patients regain their self-esteem and their smile without the need to visit the dentist’s office several times. Immediate loading means placing a prosthesis – usually temporary – on the implants immediately after surgery.

Here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic we perform implants with immediate loading. However, each case is assessed on its own merits to see if it is the most appropriate and safest way to ensure the success of each treatment. See more information below.

How does Immediate Load of Implants work?

Learn more about the technique – indications

But can it be done in all cases?

The answer is no. The possibility of an immediately loaded implant depends on fulfilling pre-requisites that can only be ascertained at the time of implant insertion. In addition to checking all the preoperative X-rays and CT scans, there are factors related to the surgery itself. Thus, the final torque of the implant at the time of bone insertion must be verified. It must therefore be checked after the implant has been installed.

In addition, it is important to note that the ideal is always to wait for the dental implant to heal before loading it. The making of a final prosthesis certainly involves aesthetic and functional studies, which have their own timeframe for preparation and testing by the patient. Therefore, if immediate loading is possible, it should ideally only involve a temporary prosthesis. In this way, the final prosthesis can be made with the implants already healed, and the aesthetics and functionality can be studied in depth, without putting the newly inserted implants at risk.

Immediately loaded implants – indications

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 so that there is no overload from chewing on the site.

Therefore, technique depends on certain conditions in the patient’s dental arch and general oral health. These conditions are assessed individually during a consultation here at the ImplArt Clinic.

What if it can’t be done?

If the technique is not possible, the dentist will look for another solution for the patient’s temporary prosthesis:

Adhesive prosthesis
Removable prostheses (mobile prosthesis)
Reinstatement of the old prosthesis (temporary refitting)
Fixed prosthesis on neighboring teeth
Devices to disguise the aesthetics of the area
Braces with a stuck tooth

Carga_imediata_implante_total_50kb — Para permitir a carga imediata de implantes dentários temos que inserir implantes longos, que devem ficar bem travados no osso do maxilar.

Rapidly loaded dental implant: provisional prosthesis installed

The immediate loading dental implant technique can therefore be indicated for the following cases:

People with a completely missing lower arch,
Full arch with a few teeth,
Single or individual teeth in the anterior region of the mouth,
In some cases, dentures are fixed on some continuous teeth,

In all cases and situations, first and foremost the best course of action is to consult an implant 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 bring a better result. In any case, implants are a great way to replace teeth, see before and after cases with dental implants.

Below is a video showing how total implant surgery is performed with a fixed prosthesis on implants, the protocol prosthesis.

Types of dental crowns: discover the 5 main models

Many patients have doubts about the types of dental crowns that exist and their differences. This article has been prepared to educate you. This way, you’ll know the characteristics of all the types of dental crowns available here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic, always knowing that the most up-to-date technology in the world is here!

Did you know that there are different types of dental crowns?

They differ from the point of view of execution, whether computerized or traditional, as well as the aesthetic refinement they achieve. They can be used both on dental implants and on tooth roots. Some are made using exclusively digital molding, while others still use the old mass molding.

A good indication for people who need to rebuild their teeth and make their aesthetics uniform are porcelain dental crowns or zirconia crowns, which restore the natural appearance and make the smile complete.

Follow us in this article to learn how to differentiate between the types of crowns and choose the one that best suits what you’re looking for as a final result.

What are dental crowns for and what are their types and indications?

The purpose of a dental crown is above all to restore the shape and functionality of the tooth. In short, it is a prosthetic piece (artificial tooth) with the shape and function of a natural tooth. There are a few types of dental crowns that can be selected for your treatment.

The choice of material will depend on a conversation between the dental specialist (prosthodontist) and the patient, which mainly aims to clarify the purpose of the dental crown (aesthetics vs. strength), and the expected durability (temporary vs. permanent).

Dental crowns can be placed on tooth roots with or without a treated root canal, and can also be made for dental implants. Dental crowns can be individual or, if the space is large, crowns can be joined with pontics (suspended teeth), thus creating a fixed dental prosthesis.

In which cases might I need porcelain dental crowns?

Other indications for dental crowns include:

Protecting a tooth weakened by fractures
Restoring a damaged tooth
Part of other larger dental prostheses
Restoring a dental implant,
Recovering a badly stained or deformed tooth
Recovering a tooth with root canal treatment

What are the types of materials for porcelain dental crowns and what are their differences?

In the past there were other types of dental crowns that we now consider outdated, such as all-metal crowns, gold crowns, resin veneer crowns or porcelain veneer crowns with metal, as well as procera crowns, alumina crowns, inceram crowns, empress crowns, pivots and jackets.

We will therefore present the 4 most modern materials with which we currently make dental crowns in our clinic. In other words, we classify Pure Zirconia as the most modern, followed by Pure Porcelain, both made using computerized systems. In second place are the handmade crowns, called applied zirconia and metal-ceramic.

Types of dental crown and their technical differences. All these types of dental crowns are available at our dental clinic and laboratory. * The technical name refers to the type of porcelain used in the dental crown. ** The strength of porcelain crowns is measured according to the ISO technical standard for flexural strength, measured in MPa. Estimate of aesthetics and durability express the opinion of the author of this article. In the case of MC and ZC crowns, the strength of the structure is high, around 1000 MPa, but problems occur because the thin layer of more fragile porcelain stands out.

Classification of different types of crown based on manufacturing technique:

Below you’ll find different types of dental crowns, classified according to the material they’re made from and how they’re made.

Dental crowns made using computerized techniques and artificial intelligence:

3D Zirconia dental crown – computerized solid translucent zirconia
EMAX 3D Pure Porcelain Crown – computerized solid lithium disilicate

Porcelain crowns made using conventional handcrafted techniques:

Metal-porcelain crown (metal-ceramic) – This has a thin layer of metal and the porcelain is applied by hand.
Zirconia-porcelain crowns (applied zirconia) – These have a thin layer of zirconia reinforcement and the porcelain layer is applied by hand.

Crowns in new composite materials, which are computerized but not pure porcelain:

3D Printed Crown (Computerized Resin) – Material containing resin+porcelain
Resin-milled crown – PMMA made by 3D milling machine

These new composite materials have lower strength than traditional porcelain crowns. However, they look good and can be used in some cases as long-term provisionals or even as permanent crowns.

coroa de porcelana feita em impressora 3d , dental crowns — Dental crowns made by 3D printing of composite materials, resins with a quantity of porcelain reinforcement in the composition. Our in-house dental laboratory is capable of producing such work with great speed and quality.

The porcelain crown remains the best material and can be made using different techniques

Please note that the term porcelain crown is a generic term but can have subtypes. The correct selection of the crown material has a major impact on the final result, how it is made and even on the budget

For example, we have the modern 3D Zirconia dental crown, which is made using modern computerized planning resources and 3D milling machines. In addition to this crown, there is the EMAX Pure Porcelain Crown. Both crowns provide excellent aesthetic resultsin short periods of time. This allows the patient to enjoy the results achieved more quickly.

Dental materials differ in the way they are prepared clinically and in the laboratory, as well as in their aesthetic results and degrees of resistance.

materiais coroas dentarias 47kb — The appearance of some types of dental crowns. The construction methods in the clinic and in the dental laboratory are different. MC = metal ceramic (fabricated by hand), ZC = zirconia and ceramic (fabricated by hand), P = pure porcelain (fabricated by computerized methods), ZP = pure translucent zirconia (fabricated by computerized methods).

Porcelain + metal dental crown (metal ceramic is porcelain applied by hand to metal) – MC

Porcelain applied over metal (metal-ceramic) is an old technique for making dental crowns, and it’s also the one that ends up having the lowest final value for the patient and the lowest manufacturing cost for the dentist (see photos of the MC crown). Even though they are not as aesthetic as porcelain crowns without metal, metal-ceramic crowns are still used to restore teeth in the back of the mouth.

All metal-ceramic crowns have a structural underlying metal layer and then the porcelain/ceramic on top of it. The metal structure is thin, strong and fits perfectly on the prepared teeth. A layer of porcelain is applied over the metal structure (called a coping). The porcelain layer is 1.5 mm to 2 mm thick, depending on the area of your tooth.

The porcelain layer is resistant, withstands chewing forces very well and resembles natural teeth. However, metal-free porcelain crowns are the most widely used today, as they easily match the color of adjacent teeth better than metal-ceramic crowns. Metal-ceramic crowns are more opaque and not as natural-looking as today’s best dental crowns.

In some cases, porcelain on metal wears, chips, cracks or breaks over time, exposing the metal and making the work unsightly and non-functional. In addition, in cases of gum recession, dark lines may appear near the gums or parts of the metal.

Because of these limitations, metal-ceramic crowns are more suitable for back teeth and should not be used on front teeth. Other disadvantages of metal-ceramic crowns include the possibility of causing allergies and gum irritation.

Zirconia + porcelain dental crowns (zirconia with hand-applied ceramic) – ZC

A zirconia crown with porcelain applied is similar to a metal-ceramic crown in the way it is made. A crown with a zirconia structure also has 2 layers, but instead of metal, we have dental zirconia, a very resistant white material. You can see the two layers of material in the dental crown in the photo below.

Coroa dentaria zirconia e porcelana cortada ao meio 50kb — *Zirconia + porcelain dental crown cut in half. Note the structural layer of white zirconia, and the yellowish part is the porcelain that gives the tooth its aesthetics and final color.*

Zirconia is considered to be an artificial diamond and is as resistant as a metal. In fact, dental zirconia has properties similar to metals, with the advantage of being white and therefore more aesthetic. The composition of zirconia crowns + applied porcelain does not include metal, improving the aesthetic results.

The zirconia dental crown with porcelain is also suitable for replacing a large restoration when the tooth structure has deteriorated.

Type of Dental Crown	Materials	Indications	Main Features
Emax Computerized Porcelain Crown	Lithium disilicate	Anterior and Posterior Teeth	Superior aesthetics, similar to the natural color of the teeth – Fast preparation
Porcelain crown with metal base (Metaloceramic)	Porcelain, Metal	Posterior Teeth	Functional and sturdy but poor aesthetics – Slow to produce
Zirconia crown with ceramic application	Ceramic, Zirconia	Anterior and Posterior Teeth	High resistance, aesthetics and biocompatibility – Slow production
Translucent 3D Pure Zirconia Crown	Zirconia	Anterior and Posterior Teeth	High resistance, aesthetics and biocompatibility – Rapid production
Resin crown	Acrylic resin	Anterior Teeth	More economical alternative, but less resistant than other materials.
Metal crown	Metal (Precious Metal Alloy)	Posterior Teeth	Good resistance, especially in areas of high masticatory load. poor aesthetics.
Temporary crown	Acrylic or Temporary Resin	Provisional phase before Permanent	Temporary use during treatment or until the permanent crown is made.

This table provides an overview of the different types of dental crowns, including the materials used, clinical indications and the main characteristics associated with each type. Remember that the choices between these types of crowns may vary depending on the specific needs of each patient

CAD-CAM pure porcelain dental crown (Emax – lithium disilicate) – P

Pure porcelain crowns – the EMAX system – are made using the CAD-CAM (Computer Assisted Design) technique for the computerized production of special porcelain crowns and restorations. They are therefore highly translucent and resistant. Their long-lasting and highly aesthetic results enable excellent results to be achieved quickly. These are the main properties of an Emax crown, which make them one of the best options for restoring front teeth.

materiais coroas dentarias 48kb — Dental crowns of different types seen from the inside, which is usually hidden. Aesthetics differ between crown types, as does the method used to make them. MC = metal ceramic, ZC Zirconia and ceramic, P = emax pure porcelain, ZP = translucent pure zirconia

Emax all-ceramic dental prostheses and crowns are rapidly gaining popularity in aesthetic dentistry due to their excellent aesthetics, durability and strength. The Emax system is mainly suitable for the fabrication of crowns and dental contact lenses in the anterior region. After preparing the final tooth shape, a digital mold of your teeth will be made with an intraoral camera.

This mold is then transmitted via the internet to the computer in our dental laboratory, which controls the design and milling procedure. The color of the dental crown needs to be chosen in advance to resemble natural teeth. With the design approved, a milling machine cuts the monolithic block of lithium disilicate to produce the required shape of the prosthesis, already with the right color.

As the crown is made from a single block of material and has a single layer, we can call it a monolithic crown. The dentist then tests the fit of the crown to the tooth, makes any necessary adjustments and fixes it to the tooth with a special adhesive.

CAD-CAM (translucent cubic zirconia ) pure zirconia dental crown – ZP

Crowns made from cubic zirconia are becoming increasingly common and offer a number of advantages. They are made using CADCAM computerized methods, from the digital mould to manufacturing.

The power of pure zirconia

First andforemost, one of the greatest advantages of pure zirconia for dental crowns is its strength and durability. Imagine how much force your back teeth exert on the food you chew. Your crowns need to be made of a strong material , so translucent pure zirconia can be a good option for crowns at the back of the mouth. In addition, they show little wear, which can be interesting for patients with bruxism, as it doesn’t allow for the destruction of the tooth that bruxism often causes.

Durability of dental cubic zirconia

Dental zirconia-based crowns have performed just as well over 5 years as metal-based crowns, according to a scientific study. Those made of zirconia, called monolithic zirconia crowns, are especially durable.

All the porcelain crowns described can be made for cemented or screw-retained dental prostheses on dental implants.

Biocompatibility of dental zirconias

Zirconia is the choice of many dentists because of its biocompatibility, which means that the body is less likely to provoke a reaction or immune response such as inflammation. Zirconia is such a biocompatible material that there are white zirconia dental implants. There is a current today of more natural biological dentistry, which advocates the use of more biocompatible and metal-free materials, and the pure zirconia dental crown fits the bill perfectly. It is therefore important for you to know that there is currently the possibility of carrying out a ceramic dental implant treatment, without metal, and combining it with a Pure Zirconia or Pure Porcelain dental crown, thus obtaining a metal-free treatment!
