The post and core is an important part for installing a prosthetic crown to replace a tooth that has been badly destroyed, usually as a result of decay or fractures. In cases where it is possible to preserve the root with root canal treatment, the core is installed inside the root to support the prosthetic crown.
The core is the internal reinforcement part of a dental crown
This is an important stage in providing support and strength to the porcelain dental crown. See more about dental core materials. If the crown were installed without a core, the prosthesis would probably not be able to withstand the masticatory effort and consequently its duration would be shorter.
See also this article on our blog which talks a little more about root canal treatment, core and porcelain crown. Today, the reinforcement core (dental post) can be made from various types of materials: from metal to zirconia, fiberglass and carbon fiber.
The choice of material depends on a number of factors, such as the location in the dental arch and the masticatory load that the crown will be subjected to.
The metal core is considered more resistant (especially suitable for the most hidden and used area of the arch), while zirconia is considered more aesthetic because it is white (suitable for the most visible area, i.e. the front of the arch).
The prosthetic crown can be made from two different materials: resin (plastic with a metal core) or porcelain (with a metal or aesthetic core). Porcelain is more resistant and aesthetic than resin.
In some cases, root canal treatment is performed to preserve the root;
The root and tooth are prepared to receive the core;
When made of metal, the impression is taken directly inside the root;
When in zirconia, the post is cemented into the root;
A core mold is taken to prepare the prosthetic crown. At ImplArt, this mold can be made conventionally (with putty) or digitally using intraoral scanners;
The crown is installed on the core;
The duration of the procedure varies, as it depends on the complexity of each case. For some people it can be carried out in a Day Clinic.
Advantages of the technique:
The dental crown restores chewing ability as well as the aesthetics of the smile;
The appearance of this type of prosthesis is very similar to natural teeth, so it is indistinguishable when fitted;
Your smile will be beautiful and complete again, free of unsightly spots such as cavities, metal restorations, absences, etc;
The roots are protected and healthy;
Dentures are very durable, but they may need to be replaced after a few years. This need is verified during regular visits to the dentist’s office.
In cases where teeth are weakened and it is no longer possible to rebuild the tooth with a crown, dental implants are recommended. If you have any questions, please make an appointment or contact us. We’ll be happy to help you.
Bone grafts are techniques to supplement the bone lost in the patient’s jaw. They can be performed simultaneously with the insertion of the dental implant, or require a healing period. Each indication will depend on an analysis of the patient’s case. But rest assured, today’s bone grafting techniques are very modern and painless for the patient. The results are certainly worth it because dental implants are the best solution for restoring missing teeth!
Know everything about dental bone grafts
Bone grafts are used to reconstruct the area that has lost height or thickness
In some cases, it is not possible to place dental implants without first doing bone grafts. People who have lost one or more teeth due to accidents or extractions always think about reconstructing their dental arch in order to smile without embarrassment and for this, dental implant placement is certainly an excellent option.
When people lose their teeth and don’t replace them immediately, they experience bone resorption. As a result, the bone in the area becomes thinner and taller, or has defects in its shape. In the upper jaw, the size of the maxillary sinus can increase, which in principle prevents implants from being placed. In addition, with tooth loss, expressions become limited, the mouth shrivels, chewing becomes difficult and speech can also be altered.
In this way , bone grafting serves to rebuild enough structure to allow the implant to be made, restoring the lost volume to the atrophied bone. For this technique, the dentist can use the patient’s own bone material, taken from the mouth (for small reconstructions) or taken from other sites, such as the hip bone (iliac) and skull cap (for large extensions).
There are different bone grafting techniques, each with its own particularities
In the case of smaller, more common grafts, the bone grafting procedure can be done in the office using local anesthesia. For larger areas, the surgical intervention is performed in a hospital by a larger, multidisciplinary team under general anesthesia. The patient does not lose teeth while the bone graft heals.
It is also possible to use a xenogenous bone graft crystal, when the bone comes from animals (freeze-dried bovine bone – Genox or Bioss), human bone from bone banks (bone transplant) or synthetic vitreous materials (synthetic hydroxyapatite). However, the most easily regenerated material is bone graft taken from the person themselves (autogenous bone).
Types of bone graft materials
The procedure can be carried out in fragments or as a block. Many people are afraid of undergoing a bone graft, but in fact the procedure can be very simple. All the materials are biosecure and undergo strict controls to prevent contamination.
Smaller bone grafts are non-invasive and can be used to supplement the bone around a newly placed implant. However, in people who have lost their teeth many years ago, larger bone grafts may be necessary. ImplArt’s philosophy is to avoid bone grafts and has mastered alternative techniques such as:
Bone loss can occur for a number of reasons, but the most common is tooth loss or extraction without immediate replacement. When a person loses their teeth, the body resorbs the bone in the maxilla or mandible because it understands that the bone no longer has a function (which was to provide support for the teeth). This loss is progressive and over the years the person has little bone volume in terms of height and width, which at first makes it difficult to place dental implants.
Maxillary sinus lift or sinus lift
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure for bone grafting in the posterior region of the upper jaw. The aim is to increase the amount of bone in height so that a longer dental implant can be placed.
When a person loses one or more teeth in the upper arch, there is a loss of bone in height and the maxillary sinus shrinks (fig.1). The procedure is carried out in this way: First, a small opening is made in the gum in the lateral region of the bone defect (fig.2).
A variable amount of bone regeneration precursor material is then placed inside this opening (figs.3,4). The surgery is quick and usually takes no more than 30 minutes with an experienced surgeon. Bone regeneration takes between 4 and 9 months (fig.5), and then the implants are placed (fig.6), but radiographic examinations are carried out beforehand to check the progress of bone regeneration.
Materials used in bone grafts
Nowadays we have a variety of materials that can be used for bone grafts in the maxillary sinus:
Studies show that all materials are favorable for this type of graft, depending only on the surgeon’s preference.

With Clinica Dentaria ImplArt, aclinic specializing in implants, you will certainly have all these options at your fingertips!
Dental implants – Quality of life and self-esteem back
What are dental implants and dental implant clinics?
This is a titanium or all-ceramic post (Straumann or Neodentceramic implant ), which is surgically placed in the jawbone and has the function of replacing the root of a lost tooth.Tooth loss can occur as a result of trauma, tooth decay, gum infection or periodontal disease.
In these cases, after the dental implant has been installed, a dental prosthesis is attached which has the function and appearance of a tooth.
Treatment at the ImplArt Dental Clinic, which specializes in dental implants, aims to restore masticatory function, oral health and the aesthetics of the smile, giving people back their quality of life and self-esteem.
Treatment with dental implant pins is more efficient than treatment with conventional removable prostheses, known as dentures, and provides much more comfort for the patient, both when smiling and chewing.
Currently, for those looking for a metal-free treatment, either due to metal allergies or preference, the combination of ceramic implant and porcelain crown, or computerized Pure Zirconia, are ideal.
As we are a clinic specializing in dental implants, we have all the support we can offer patients, and a wide range of implant types.
As we are a clinic specializing in implants, we have the knowledge and know-how to identify the most diverse types of implants in patients who may have already had their surgery elsewhere and don’t know which implant was used.
The osseointegration of the dental implant takes place through the formation of calcium on the surface of the implant, which occurs through delicate and complex biological and molecular phenomena. The healing time of the dental implant will depend on the type chosen, and will be confirmed by the implant specialist, implant dentist. Here you will have all the information you need for your implant, because we are a specialist implant clinic, with knowledge and vast experience in implant dentistry.
However, the time until the implant is sufficiently integrated can vary depending on a number of factors:
Healthy osseointegration is therefore responsible for the stability of dental implants and fixed dental prostheses, offering patients the security and comfort to chew, speak and smile. External factors such as smoking and poor oral health can hinderimplantosseointegration.
It is certainly expected that the dental implant will last forever, i.e. once osseointegration has taken place, in healthy patients, it should remain integrated into the bone.

In the case of total implants, the brushing technique should be improved according to the instructions given by the dentist specializing in dental implants.Dental implants can be recommended for almost anyone who suffers from missing teeth, whether a few teeth or all the teeth in an arch.
However, each implant case needs to be assessed individually in order to plan the most appropriate treatment. However, the good news is that ImplArt is a specialist dental implant clinic that has the expertise and knowledge of the most modern techniques to solve missing teeth.
We have the experience to solve the most difficult cases of oral rehabilitation, using surgical or prosthetic techniques. See examples of before and after with osseointegrated implants at ImplArt, a clinic specializing in implants.

The installation of the implant prevents or stops bone resorption.
Partial dental implant – several teeth
Losing multiple teeth can affect your ability to chew, as well as the beauty of your smile. Certainly the best option for replacing several teeth is the placement of dental implants and the fixing of a dental prosthesis.
Partial dental implants are recommended for people who have lost some teeth in between or in the same area of the mouth. A partial implant treatment is a much more efficient alternative to a conventional bridge.
Fixed prostheses on dental implants offer better aesthetic results compared to removable prostheses, dentures, and are important for preventing bone resorption and preserving oral health.

Dental implants for all teeth – total or complete
Total dental implants are recommended for people who have lost all their teeth. The loss of all teeth usually occurs due to periodontal disease or a combination of caries and inadequate oral hygiene.
There are strategies for replacing the teeth of an entire arch with a fixed prosthesis (also known as a protocol prosthesis) or a removable prosthesis (overdenture), but fixed prostheses are the most commonly used.
In an all-tooth dental implant treatment, the pins are strategically distributed through the bone of the dental arch in order to provide sufficient support for the planned dental prosthesis.
Due to scientific advances, it is now possible, in selected cases, to go into the office without teeth and leave at the end of the day with all your teeth fixed on dental implants (temporary prosthesis).
The dental implant technique with immediate loading can be performed when bone quantity and quality are normal and also when occlusal habits are favorable for the procedure so that there is no chewing overload on the site.
Therefore, the immediate loading technique depends on certain conditions in the patient’s dental arch and general oral health. These conditions are assessed individually during your consultation with the implant dentist.
Different implant pin models can advance or delay healing and therefore the delivery of the definitive prosthesis. Discover the fastest implants currently available from the Swiss brand Straumann.
Total fixed zirconia and porcelain prosthesis
Fixed dental prosthesis on implants – types of materials
Implant treatment is the main form of aesthetic and functional rehabilitation for patients who have lost their teeth.
The absence of one or more teeth compromises chewing, speech and the aesthetics of the smile, so a fixed prosthesis on implants is capable of restoring the edentulous person’s security and self-esteem.In summary, rehabilitation basically goes through 3 relevant phases:
Pure porcelain fixed prosthesis for dental implants – Translucent zirconia (metal free)
It is a white ceramic structure called zirconia, covered with an aesthetic porcelain sculpted to the shape of the teeth.
It is therefore a new and technologically innovative material, as the prosthesis is completely designed on a computer and made with the help of electronic scanners and 3D printers. The zirconia fixed prosthesis is the material that offers the best aesthetic result because it does not contain metals in its composition.
Zirconia is a porcelain that has characteristics that are equally comparable to natural teeth, including shade, translucency and resistance.
Photo with example of oral rehabilitation of all teeth in metal-porcelain (metalloceramics), carried out at Implart, a specialist in dental implants
Metal-ceramic prosthesis on dental implants (porcelain + metal)
This is a prosthesis with an internal metal structure (titanium, Ni-Cr or Cr-Co) and an aesthetic porcelain finish that is hand-sculpted in the shape of the teeth. The result is the strength and aesthetics of porcelain, which leaves the prosthesis with aesthetics and beauty similar to natural teeth.
Although it has a small disadvantage compared to pure porcelain prostheses (which is the possibility of a grayish line appearing at the level of the gums, if the patient suffers some gum recession over time, which can lead to an aesthetic compromise in the smile).
The porcelain prosthesis (ceramic protocol) has advantages over the resin prosthesis, such as better durability and resistance to wear, as well as no color changes over time.
Protocol dentures for all upper and lower teeth – Resin dentures
Also known as the Bränemark protocol prosthesis, this model has an internal metal structure and an aesthetic resin finish. The teeth are made of resin and you can choose the color, shape and size of the teeth.
However, this material has a disadvantage compared to previous ones, which is the possibility of color change (yellowing) over time. The choice of prosthesis material should be made jointly by the dentist and patient.
During the surgery, the patient feels no pain because it is performed under local anesthesia. In addition, ImplArt uses techniques that reduce discomfort during surgery and make the recovery period more peaceful.
ImplArt also uses Piezosurgery surgical ultrasound, which cuts through hard tissues such as bone and preserves soft tissues such as gums, nerves, membranes and blood vessels.
In this way, the system allows the surgeon greater surgical precision and better visibility during surgery, as well as avoiding risks in the dental implant. See more photos of work carried out at ImplArt by clicking here.
The best brands and types of dental implants
There are several brands and models of dental implants available in Brazil, and for each application there is an ideal model. At ImplArt we use certified materials.
Dentistry has come a long way with the use of less invasive techniques to offer patient comfort and, above all, ImplArt has incorporated today’s most effective techniques into its practice to minimize any discomfort.
ImplArt is always in line with the latest developments in the world of dentistry. 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 doing your aesthetic and functional oral rehabilitation with dental implants, without fear.
Humanized treatment with a dental implant specialist and care for those who need teeth implanted
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 or painful treatments.
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.
We are ready to listen to your needs in implant dentistry and oral rehabilitation
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 ofdentists(odontophobia). We affirm that the advantages of good oral health and an aesthetic smile are well worth it.
ImplArt’s team of dental implant specialists iscommitted to welcoming and understanding all the needs, fears and traumas that people bring with them. Don’t let fear 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!
Computer-guided implants are available at our clinic
Guided dental implant surgery – less invasive and faster
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 implant with surgical guide acts as a template with the exact indications where the 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.
Deep sedation for implant surgery
Sedation is a technique indicated for those who are very afraid of the dentist, 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 during 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 accompanied by the doctor and monitoring devices as the surgery takes place. 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 sedation procedure with a dental implant specialist 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 truly “afraid”.
Dental Day Clinic with dental implant specialist – Faster treatments
The Day Clinic or Dental Spa is a type of intensive treatment offered at Implart, a specialist in dental implants. Among other advantages, it is suitable for those who are afraid of dental implants and want a quick dental implant treatment. 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).
ImplArt is a modern specialist clinic with a complete structure for this purpose. Digital dentistry techniques, computerized molds and fabrication of teeth, our own laboratory and trained staff speed up treatment.

Price and value of dental implant treatments and dental aesthetics │ Dental implant value and average price with dental implant specialist
We often receive calls, emails and messages from people asking about the prices or values of dental treatments, especially dental implants and prosthetic protocols.
However, we always try to explain that the value and price can only be answered through a dental consultation with a specialist in dental implants, an implant dentist. The ImplArt Dental Clinic specializes in dental implants and takes this matter very seriously.
How much is a dental implant? Do I find out the cost at the appointment?
There are two main reasons why values are explained live:
The first is that the Code of Ethics of the Federal Council of Dentistry prohibits dentists from providing consultations online – not in person. Nor can dentists advertise the price of dental treatment online, let alone the cost of dental implants. The practice of posting average prices on websites constitutes serious misconduct before the Dental Council.
Secondly, complex dental treatments such as implant dentistry can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient. It often happens that patients think they need teeth implanted, but in reality they first need braces, bone grafts or different types of dentures. Of course, different plans will lead to different values and prices.
What can influence treatment with a dental implant specialist?
There are numerous factors that influence the planning of a treatment. There are also various options for materials and techniques that influence the composition of a budget. In addition, a treatment that may be suitable for one person may not be the most appropriate for another.
An implant dentist is a professionalwho specializes in dental implantsand is qualified to plan and carry out dental implants, as well as giving the necessary recommendations to keep teeth beautiful and healthy throughout life.
There are important factors that influence the perception of value or cost-benefit, such as the health and well-being that healthy teeth provide, improved self-esteem and patient comfort during procedures.
In addition to the price, the relationship of trust between patient and dentist and our empathy for the patient are important, as they often bring with them anxieties, expectations, fear of implants, as well as trauma from previous experiences. How much does your smile cost you?
What is the first consultation with adental implant specialistlike? Is there a charge?
Yes, we charge for the first consultation. The patient will be assessed by the clinic’s director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, a specialist in dental implants, who has extensive experience in treatments for functional and aesthetic oral rehabilitation, with dental implants as well as dental prostheses.
If necessary, the patient may be asked to undergo some radiological examinations in order to help with diagnosis and treatment planning. For your convenience, some of the main dental tests can be carried out within the specialist clinic (at a separate cost).
If you already have previous exams, bring all the recent ones (up to 1 year old) to your appointment, as they will be of great help.
My dentist doesn’t charge for implants, why do you?
We follow the rules of the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, which specifies that dental services cannot be free, in the same way as medical consultations. Certainly, the culture in dentistry is changing and the number of dentists who charge for consultations is growing.
The dentist specializing in dental implants, implantodontist, who will be treating you has completed university studies and takes frequent postgraduate courses. Their time is valuable, as it is in other health professions. We also need to clarify that there is no such thing as a free dental implant.
Even in places where tooth implants are done at low cost, such as courses for dentists, the patient pays less, but there is always a price to pay.
Do you accept any dental plans that cover dental implants at ImplArt, a specialist in dental implants?
We are a clinic specializing in dental implants, used to receiving the most complex cases in dentistry.
However, we do accept plans for the reimbursement or free choice system. There are companies that offer their employees this system, in which they will later receive the amounts paid. In this way, we offer all the support that patients with dental plans may need to request reimbursement.
Most dental plans don’t offer cover for dental prosthesis, implants or aesthetic procedures, which are precisely the focus of our specialist clinic. However, we are able to offer the support that patients may need to request reimbursement for their dental treatment.

The Branemark prosthesis is a technique developed in 1969 by the Swedish doctor Bränemark with the aim of oral rehabilitation (Dental Implants for Dentures) with dental implants for people who have lost their teeth. It is currently indicated for people who lost their teeth many years ago and therefore have little bone volume (advanced bone resorption).
In these people, mobile prostheses, dentures (normal, partial and dentures) often become loose and cause discomfort and insecurity. In this way, a fixed prosthesis on implants certainly brings much more peace of mind and comfort to the wearer. Treatment with the Bränemark protocol consists of two stages: surgery with implants and prosthetics at intervals of four to six months for the mandible and maxilla. This interval is necessary for the correct healing of the dental implants.
Topic related to Dental Implants for Dentures in Brazil
Why should I have Dental Implants for Dentures?
The Dental Implants for Dentures is a modern option for patients who have lost all their teeth. It is anchored by screws to several implants, providing greater stability and chewing efficiency. In addition, treatment brings with it a number of benefits. Here are several of them, which you can consider if you’re thinking of having a protocol prosthesis:
Chewing efficiency: Because it is screwed onto several implants, the Dental Implants for Dentures prosthesis offers greater stability and chewing efficiency than other solutions such as removable prostheses. The prosthesis does not fall out and can only be removed by the implant dentist in the clinic.
Easy adaptation: The Dental Implants for Dentures prosthesis is known for its easy adaptation and general use.
Durability: The resin acrylic prosthesis is durable and will restore your bite for several years. However, it may be necessary to replace the prosthesis in the future if the materials wear out.
Less pain and frequent bruising of the gums: Protocol-type dentures can reduce the occurrence of frequent pain and cuts in the gums. This is because the prosthesis does not rest against the gums and is not mobile, so it does not cause sores.
Ease of cleaning: Full arch acrylic implants are easy to clean. There are appropriate instruments for cleaning your fixed teeth. The full resin implant prosthesis has a smoother texture and accumulates less plaque than ordinary removable prostheses and dentures.
Cost: Resin bridges usually require a lower investment than the second option, porcelain, or even zirconia. In addition, maintenance, when necessary, is not expensive.
What’s the difference with plain ceramic (metal) or zirconia metal-ceramic prostheses?
Metal-ceramic prostheses, known as porcelain, differ from metal-plastic prostheses, known as resin or acrylicprostheses, in terms of their resistance and aesthetic results. Porcelain surpasses resin because it offers long-term patient comfort, since it is much more resistant to wear and tear and remains the same over the years as the day it was installed, in terms of color and tooth shape. Translucent Zirconia, on the other hand, allows computerized methodologies to be used to plan and execute full-arch prostheses. In addition, its resistance and aesthetic results are superior to any other, making it the most modern material option available in dentistry today.
Metal-ceramic prostheses: the internal structure is made of titanium alloy while the aesthetic coating is made of dental porcelain. Despite what it may seem, these materials are very light and resistant.
Zirconia is the most modern technology for making fixed prostheses on implants. For full-arch dental implants we have Translucent Zirconia and Zirconia with porcelain applied.

Dental Implants for Dentures prosthesis and total implant with immediate loading
Nowadays, with the advances made in dentistry, in some cases it is possible to implant in 72 hours using immediate loading. First, four, five or six implants are installed, distributed over the entire arch. They are then left to rest (heal) for four months. After this period, the acrylic prosthesis is fixed onto the implants. For this treatment with immediate loading, there is a need for clinical indication, so that the success of the treatment is not compromised.
Do Dental Implants for Dentures last forever?
The longevity of a fixed bridges for dental implant can be influenced by several factors, including the patient’s oral hygiene and the type of prosthesis used.
The implant pin/screw, which is made of titanium and acts as the root of the tooth, has the potential to last a lifetime. This is due to its ability to integrate with the jaw bone, a process known as osseointegration.
However, the dental prosthesis, which is the artificial tooth placed over the implant, may need to be replaced over time, as they wear down with use and chewing, in the same way as natural teeth. Dental prostheses are generally made of acrylic, zirconia or porcelain, and their durability can vary. For example, a resin prosthesis can last up to 10 years, while a porcelain or zirconia fixed prosthesis (all on 4) can last up to 20 years.
It is important to note that the longevity of the dental implant can also be affected by the patient’s general oral health. Good oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist for check-ups and maintenance are essential to maintain the health of the implant and prosthesis.
Conclusion
The Dental Implants for Dentures is made from a metal bar to which the resin teeth are fixed. With the Bränemark protocol, patients who have previously been ashamed of their smile due to dental problems and whose self-esteem has been affected can smile normally again, since their phonetic ability, chewing and swallowing improve and provide a better quality of life. If you have any questions, please contact us or book an appointment with our team.
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.
Obtain information on the best time to resume treatment for people in the coronavirus risk group
Attending to people from other cities, states or countries.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How to do a dental implant procedure
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.
Watch the video below explaining how dental implant surgery is performed:
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.
The main indication for implant treatment of all individual teeth is when the patient is close to losing all their teeth but has preserved bone.
Placing individual dental implants is an effective solution for restoring oral function and aesthetics. It also allows patients to regain the ability to chew and speak properly. It is important to note that the process of placing implants and individual teeth (one by one) requires detailed assessment and planning, taking into account the patient’s oral health and bone structure. It is therefore essential that a specialized professional carries out the procedure safely, to ensure the success of the treatment. There are currently several types of titanium implants to choose from, as well as zirconia implants.
Implantation of all the individual teeth is the technique that fixes a crown to each of the implants distributed throughout the arch.
However, this is a very advanced technique in implant dentistry and its indication and feasibility need to be examined by the implant dentist, who must determine whether the patient is a good candidate for implants of all the individual teeth. In principle, these are the basic requirements for implanting all individual teeth:
Have abundant bone (no bone loss)
Having a preserved amount of gum compared to natural teeth
In an open smile, the patient cannot show the gums
In this technique, each missing tooth will be replaced with an implant post + an individual dental crown. However, this is only possible in certain cases, please contact us.
Because of the bone and gum loss that usually occurs as a result of tooth loss, the result of the gingival appearance of a dental implant treatment of all individualized teeth is different from that of a natural dentition, and also bolder.
The main change in the shape of the gums after losing a tooth is that the gums become flat, without the arches that characterize a natural set of teeth. However, if your smile is very open, it will be necessary to make a prosthesis with a layer of artificial gum to simulate the appearance of normal gums. Read more about gum characterization in dentures.
Frequently asked questions about dental implants one by one:
Yes, but even if there is a volume gain in these tissues, the shape of the gums will not be the same as those of a natural set of teeth (arch shape). This is because in all cases of tooth extraction there is a small loss of volume in the bone in the area, which cannot be recovered even by performing a bone graft or gum graft.
Grafting in these cases will not recover all the lost gingival volume but will only allow implants to be placed. The rest of the lost tissue will need to be replaced with dental prostheses.
What are the contraindications to implanting all individual teeth?
Regions with gum defects, as the gums must be perfect for the individualized implant.
In these cases, the aesthetics of the teeth would not look good using implants one by one.
Considerations on implanting all individualized teeth – splendid results
Because of the bone loss that occurs as a result of losing teeth without immediate replacement, it is most common for patients not to be able to have all their individual teeth implanted. However, it is possible to use a fixed prosthesis with individual teeth, which gives excellent results: a total implant with fewer distributed implants and a full-arch fixed prosthesis.
Can people who have lost all their teeth get implants? What about the gums?
Dentures may or may not have a layer of gum to simulate the appearance of natural teeth. The gum is not designed to make the prosthesis look ugly. Many patients are reluctant to use artificial gums in their dentures, as they think they look like dentures.
However, with advances in the techniques and materials used, the artificial gingiva of the prosthesis is able to reproduce the aesthetics and naturalness of natural gingiva reliably. The types of total implant prostheses are:

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.
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!

Dental implant recovery and care of dental implants before and after surgery
The post-operative period for dental implants and the preparation before dental implant surgeryare certainly fundamental to the success of the procedure. We have therefore prepared recommendations for patients who are going to have a dental implant, which can also be applied to minor dental surgery.
We should certainly point out that the care of dental implant surgery is considered a simple and minor intervention from a medical point of view, with low risk for the patient. The duration of surgery is short and recovery after implant surgery is also considered to be easy for the patient, even in cases of complete oral rehabilitation.
Eat normally before the procedure if the surgery involves local anesthesia. If you have opted for sedation, follow the specific guidelines for your case, which may involve fasting.
Take the prescribed medication 1 hour before arriving at the clinic. If indicated for your case, preferably come accompanied by someone who can drive.
Stitches for dental implants should be removed between 7 and 10 days.
After implant surgery – care of dental implants urgery
What should I do afterdental implants, after implant surgery (for 48 hours)?
Apply ice to the face to prevent swelling
Avoid physical exertion
Sanitize the area with a cotton swab moistened with an antiseptic solution (Periogard, Listerine, Plax).
For 2 days: you should eat cold or iced food. For example: ice cream, jelly, juices, smoothies, soups.
Also avoid hard, crunchy foods such as bread, peanuts, etc.
On the third day you can warm up the food more and normalize your diet according to your own tolerance
What can I do 3 days after my dental implant?
Apply warm compresses to the face to reduce swelling
Exercise in moderation
Tip: In cases where a surgical guide has been used to install the implants, the expected post-operative period is milder than in normal implant surgeries.
What can I do one week after my dental implant?
Brush the operated area lightly
Mouthwash with antiseptic solution
Physical activity released
Remove the stitches at the dentist
Are there implants without cutting or stitches/care of dental implants?
There are modern computer-guided planning techniques that minimize the need to cut into the gums and therefore often do not require stitches. This is computer-guided dental implant surgery, a very up-to-date and safe procedure for implant surgery.
Post-operativecarefor implants, medication and procedures make a difference
Frequently asked questions about post-operativeimplants:
Is dental implant post-op swelling normal? What is the post-operative period of implants like?
Swelling can occur in the first few days after implants, which is why anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to be taken as soon as necessary. Cold food and ice help to reduce swelling in the mouth.
How long does it take to resume physical activity after a dental implant?
Each case is assessed individually, but in general you should wait 7 to 10 days before returning to the gym in full.
How many days to remove the dental implant stitches?
On average, you should remove the stitches from the implant surgery within 7 to 10 days.
Is it normal to feel pain after a dental implant or bone graft?
