laser teeth whitening

Does Laser Teeth Whitening Damage Teeth?

Laser teeth whitening is an advanced technique that aims to remove pigments and stains from teeth, giving you a whiter, more radiant smile. This aesthetic procedure, carried out in a dental office, uses a whitening gel activated by laser light to achieve effective and long-lasting results.

How Does Laser Teeth Whitening Work?

The process begins with the application of a hydrogen peroxide-based gel to the surface of the teeth. A laser light is then used to activate and enhance the action of the gel, speeding up the whitening process. Each session lasts an average of 40 to 60 minutes and the total number of sessions required varies depending on the initial shade of the teeth and the desired result.

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, director of the ImplArt Clinic, “there are always gains in shade, making teeth lighter. How much each tooth will whiten depends on the natural characteristics of each individual.”

Advantages of Laser Teeth Whitening

  • Fast results: Laser whitening provides a more immediate effect compared to other techniques, such as home whitening.
  • Safe procedure: When performed by qualified professionals, laser whitening is safe and supervised, guaranteeing the patient’s oral health.
  • Comfort: The procedure is carried out in the office, under the direct supervision of the dentist, providing greater safety and comfort for the patient.

Disadvantages of Laser Teeth Whitening

  • Temporary Sensitivity: Some patients may experience sensitivity in their teeth after the procedure, although this sensation is usually temporary and disappears within a few hours.
  • Higher Cost: Laser whitening tends to be more expensive than other whitening techniques, due to the technology used and the need for specialized equipment.

How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions required to achieve the desired result varies according to the initial shade of the teeth and the individual response to treatment. Generally, 2 sessions are recommended, with intervals of one week between them. It is important to note that each case is unique, and a personalized assessment is essential to determine the appropriate treatment plan.

Cost of Laser Teeth Whitening

The cost of laser teeth whitening can vary depending on the clinic, the experience of the professional and the geographical region. At the ImplArt Clinic, we prioritize the quality and safety of our patients, offering personalized treatments that meet their needs and expectations. To obtain an accurate quote, it is essential to schedule an assessment appointment.

Limitations of Laser Teeth Whitening

Although laser whitening is effective in most cases, it is important to understand that there are limitations to the degree of whitening that can be achieved. Factors such as the cause of the darkening, the age and integrity of the teeth all influence the final result. For example, teeth with deep stains or severe darkening may not achieve the desired level of whiteness with whitening alone.

In these situations, Dr. Roberto Markarian recommends alternatives such as dental contact lenses, which are ultra-thin porcelain sheets applied to the surface of the teeth to improve their color, shape and alignment. “Dental contact lenses allow the patient to choose the desired shade, offering an effective solution for cases in which whitening doesn’t achieve the expected results.”

Combined Whitening: Mixed Technique for Optimized Results

For patients looking for more expressive results, combining laser whitening with home whitening is an effective option. Known as a mixed technique or combined whitening, this approach maximizes the benefits of both methods.

How Does Combination Whitening Work? Laser and home teeth whitening

Initially, the patient undergoes a laser whitening session in the office, obtaining an immediate and noticeable result. Next, a customized tray is made for home use, in which the patient applies a lower concentration whitening gel, as instructed by the dentist. This combined protocol enhances the whitening results.

Dr. Roberto Markarian points out that “combined whitening is an excellent option for those looking for faster and more effective results, combining the safety of the in-office procedure with the practicality of home treatment.”

Importance of Prophylaxis Before Laser Teeth Whitening

Before starting any whitening procedure, it is essential to carry out a dental prophylaxis, i.e. a professional cleaning in the dental office. This procedure removes plaque and tartar, preparing the surface of the teeth for whitening and ensuring more effective results.

It is important to note that prophylaxis and laser teeth whitening should not be carried out on the same day. Dental prophylaxis often uses sodium bicarbonate, which can neutralize the action of the whitening agent. Therefore, an interval between these procedures is recommended to ensure the effectiveness of the whitening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does laser teeth whitening weaken teeth?

No. Studies have shown that whitening does not damage tooth enamel or make teeth weaker, as the whitening chemical only acts on the tooth pigments and not on the mineral structure.

Does laser teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity after the procedure, due to the opening of the enamel pores as a result of the action of the whitening product. However, this sensation is usually temporary and tends to disappear within a few hours.

How long do laser teeth whitening results last?

The durability of whitening varies from person to person and depends on eating habits and oral hygiene. On average, the effect can last from 6 months to 2 years.

Who can’t have laser teeth whitening?

Whitening is not recommended for pregnant women, nursing mothers, children under 16 or people with untreated cavities and active gum disease. It is essential to have a dental assessment before starting treatment.

Does laser teeth whitening work on teeth with restorations or dentures?

The whitening agent does not alter the color of restorations, crowns or veneers. In these cases, it may be necessary to replace these restorations after whitening to ensure a uniform color.

When is the best time to have laser teeth whitening?

If you are undergoing treatment for dental implants, dental crowns, dental contact lenses or single-arch prostheses, the ideal time to have your laser teeth whitening is before you choose the final color of your prostheses. This is because, as we mentioned earlier, tooth whitening only works on natural teeth, so before generating the final color of your dentures is the ideal time to take advantage and whiten your smile. That way, the final color of your dentures will match your new, brighter smile!

protocolo dentario como é feito

Full Arch Implants: What is it, how is it done, how does it work?

The Full Arch Implants is a type of total fixed dental prosthesis that is indicated for people who have lost all their teeth in the same arch. It consists of 12 to 14 teeth attached to a single structure screwed onto 4 to 6 strategically placed dental implants.

A dental protocol prosthesis treatment provides a quick and efficient solution for oral rehabilitation, with surprising aesthetic and functional results that help restore the natural appearance of the smile and consequently improve self-esteem.

protese protocolo sobre implante total Full Arch Implants

Full Arch Implants: Indications for use

The Full Arch Implants is a treatment designed to enable oral rehabilitation for people who have lost their teeth and have considerable bone loss.

The Full Arch Implants is an innovative oral rehabilitation technique that can be indicated for a variety of cases in which tooth loss is extensive or total. Here are some scenarios in which implants with a prosthesis are often indicated:

  1. Total Edentulism (absence of all teeth): The Protocol Prosthesis is an excellent option for patients who have lost all their teeth in one or both dental arches.
  2. Severe tooth loss: When tooth loss is extensive and negatively affects the patient’s chewing function, aesthetics and quality of life.
  3. Compromised or Unrecoverable Teeth: If your remaining teeth are severely compromised due to tooth decay, periodontal disease or other problems, the Implant Protocol can be an effective alternative.
  4. Generalized Tooth Wear: Patients suffering from generalized tooth wear, whether due to bruxism or other conditions, can benefit from the Fixed Protocol to restore chewing function.
  5. Difficulties with Removable Dentures: Individuals who face challenges with traditional removable dentures that hurt, have difficulties with retention, stability and discomfort, can opt for the stability and fixation of Protocol Dentures.

Types of Full Arch Implants

Fun fact: Historically,Full Arch Implants treatment was invented more than 60 years ago by Dr. Branemark, a Swedish doctor who was also the inventor of the implant itself. At the time, he created a step-by-step procedure that is still followed today! and ends with the installation of a prosthesis made of acrylic (resin), which is the same material used in dentures.

However, Full Arch Implants treatment has evolved over time. Today, in addition to resin, we have more modern materials to make the protocol prosthesis, such as translucent zirconia, as well as zirconia with porcelain, and even metal-ceramic (porcelain), as options for those undergoing total implant treatment.

prótese protocolo o que é como é fixada
Full Arch Implants prosthesis: The prosthesis is attached to some dental implants that are previously placed in the bone. The final aesthetic can be customized, for example in this case, the patient wanted a small gap between the teeth (diastema).

How does the Full Arch Implants work?

The treatment goes through two stages, surgical and prosthetic. The surgical phase involves placing titanium implant pins in the bone (usually four to five in each arch). The healing of the implants takes between 2 and 4 months, depending on the type of implant chosen and the condition of the bone, as in cases of bone grafting the period can increase.

So the final deadline has to take into account the time taken for the implants + the time taken for the grafts to heal + the time taken to make the prosthesis.

That ‘s why the final treatment period varies from case to case, but on average a treatment is completed in 6 months.

Treatment with a protocol prosthesis is therefore carried out in two stages:

Step 1: How to install dental implants for full arch prostheses:

At this stage, the dentist performs surgery to insert the dental implants into the jaw bone. The number of implants needed varies according to the number of missing teeth and the quality of the bone. Dental implants are inserted in specific areas of the jaw or mandible, taking into account the patient’s bone quality.

Step 2: How the denture is fixed:

After osseointegration of the implants, which is the process of integrating the implants into the bone, the dentist takes a mold of the dental arch. Based on the impression, the prosthodontist makes the definitive dental prosthesis, which is fixed to the implants using screws. The advanced technique allows the prosthesis to be firmly fixed to the implants, giving the patient a feeling of security and naturalness, without gum pain.

See images of Full Arch Implants prostheses below

See below this treatment carried out in our clinic to replace an old complete fixed prosthesis. First, a test was carried out with a temporary dental prosthesis to check the appearance of the treatment. Secondly, a new fixed zirconia prosthesis was made over the patient’s previous implants.

In the bottom images we see the final result of the dental protocol installed in the mouth after completion.

How the Branemark dental Full Arch Implants are made

The manufacturing of the protolo dental prostheses will be done in several stages, which mainly include:

Impressions: Digital impression of the mouth is carried out with the aid of intraoral scanners, or with traditional molds with putty. The images obtained are the basis for the computerized design.

Defining general volumes: In this phase, the patient’s lip volumes, tooth inclination, mouth corridor and vertical dimension are determined. Often these definitions are made on a wax plane, which allows you to sculpt and test as you wish.

Aesthetic testing of teeth: With the volumes of the prostheses defined, we set about selecting the teeth – their size, color, volume. These teeth are tested with wax or by means of 3D prototype prostheses that allow us to anticipate the final result and, of course, facilitate corrections.

Fabrication of the final prosthesis: The prosthesis goes on to the final steps, which may be acrylicization in the case of resin protocol prostheses, or the elaboration of structures + application of porcelain for zirconia or metal-ceramic protocol prostheses.

So the result is a piece that is completely customized to the needs of each patient, built with the participation of the implant dentist and the patient at every step, and the result is predictable (i.e. it’s not a surprise on the last day of treatment).

How the resin dental (Acrylic) Full Arch Implants works

The base of the acrylic prosthesis is made with a titanium reinforcement bar, a material that is biocompatible with the human body, does not cause rejection and has low allergenic potential. This reinforcement bar makes the protocol denture with its milled structure resistant, more delicate and comfortable.

The resin teeth are attached to this bar, as well as a layer of artificial gum that mimics the natural mucosa. The titanium-framed protocol prosthesis is attached to the implants, giving the wearer peace of mind when chewing, speaking and smiling.

Full Arch Implants

The titanium bar gives the protocol prosthesis strength, while the resin coating gives the branemark prosthesis naturalness.

Rapid Implants and Prococolo Prosthesis in 72 hours with immediate loading

It is important to note that there is a way to make implants and prosthetic prostheses faster (*in some cases).

In immediate loading treatments, the prosthetic phase of installing the protocol prosthesis is carried out immediately after implant surgery (without waiting for the implants to heal).

In this procedure with rapid protocol implants, it is possible to install dental implants with technology that favors and accelerates the healing process, making it possible to install the prosthesis within 72 hours, the immediate loading technique. However, in the vast majority of cases, it is decided to wait until the recommended healing time to ensure greater safety and success of the procedure.

(*)The possibility of this treatment with rapid implants should be checked at your assessment appointment, when we will analyze your case in detail (this possibility is only confirmed after a careful assessment of your remaining bone).

Benefits of the fixed prosthesis

The fixed prosthesis offers a number of benefits for patients who have lost all their teeth, including:

  • Restoration of che wingfunction: The protocol prosthesis allows patients to chew food normally, without difficulty.
  • Improved aesthetics: The protocol prosthesis provides a natural and harmonious smile.
  • Stability: The protocol prosthesis is fixed, which guarantees stability and safety for patients.
  • Durability: The protocol prosthesis can last for many years, with proper care.

Contraindications to the Full Arch Implants

The Full Arch Implants are not indicated for all patients who have lost all their teeth. The main contraindications are:

  • Patients with systemic health problems: such as diabetes or osteoporosis, coagulation problems, recent cancer treatments, among others.
  • Patients with insufficient bone in the mandible or maxilla. However, this condition can in most cases be reversed by means of bone grafts that recreate the thinned bone.

Curiosity: We sometimes see outdated dentists discussing the weight of prostheses, but recent studies show that the weight of the prosthesis protocol does not contribute to treatment failure. This discussion has fallen into disuse, as zirconia and porcelain prostheses are not heavy either; it’s just a myth.

Conclusions

The Full Arch Implants technique is an effective and safe option for the oral rehabilitation of patients who have lost all their teeth. It offers a number of benefits, including the restoration of chewing function, improved aesthetics and stability.

In addition to the resin prosthesis, called a acrylic fixed prosthesis, or acrylic prosthesis, you can also have a zirconia protocol prosthesis , which allows all the work to be done by computer. All these treatments are offered at ImplArt Dental Clinic.

The ImplArt dental clinic carries out this treatment with the help of the most modern computerized systems.

root analog implant 5

Root Implant Analog (RIA): Concepts, Benefits and Scientific Evidence

The Root Analog Implant (RIA) is an innovative approach in implant dentistry that aims to replicate the anatomy of the natural tooth root. Unlike conventional implants with a standardized shape, IARs are customized to fit precisely into the patient’s dental socket immediately after tooth extraction.

This technique seeks a replacement that is more biologically compatible with the original anatomy, while at the same time seeking efficient osseointegration and adequate aesthetics, providing a more natural solution for tooth replacement, says Dr. ROBERTO MARKARIAN, a specialist in implant dentistry.

Introduction: What is the Root Analog Implant (RAI)?

The Root Analog Implant (RAI) concept is well documented and refers to customized implants that mimic the shape of the natural tooth root. These implants are designed to be placed immediately after tooth extraction, using technologies such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and CAD/CAM to create accurate three-dimensional models of the root of the tooth to be replaced.[1-6] The concept of the Root Analog Implant (RIA) is well documented.

Principles and Fundamentals of Root Analog Implants (RAI)

The main feature of IARs is their ability to faithfully imitate the shape and size of the original tooth root. This customization is possible thanks to the use of advanced technologies such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and CAD/CAM systems, which allow for the creation of tailor-made implants. The preferred material for manufacturing these implants is zirconia, due to its high biocompatibility and superior mechanical properties, however IAR implants can be manufactured using printing techniques for biocompatible metals such as titanium.

Differentiating the Customized Implant Root Analog (IAR) from Conventional Implants

  • Shape: Conventional implants have a standardized shape, while IAR implants have a more anatomical design.
  • Load distribution: Root Analog Implants (RAI) seek to minimize the stress on the bone caused by the threads of common implants and better distribute the masticatory force along the alveolar bone.
  • Adaptation to existing bone: The use of IAR can reduce the need for bone grafts, as the implant adapts better to the local anatomy.

Advantages of Root Analog Implants (RAI)

Root-like implants aim to improve aesthetics and functionality while minimizing bone removal and trauma during implant placement. Studies indicate that these implants can offer acceptable clinical results, although the survival rate may vary depending on the material and manufacturing technique used.[1][4] In addition, the biomechanics of root analog implants show promising behavior in dissipating masticatory load, compared to conventional implants.[5]

IARs offer several advantages over conventional implants:

  • Perfect fit: Because they are customized, they fit exactly into the dental socket, eliminating the need for additional drilling or bone grafts.
  • Superior aesthetics: Zirconia has a color similar to that of the natural tooth, avoiding the gray discoloration that can occur with titanium implants.
  • Less Invasive Procedure: Immediate placement after extraction reduces the need for additional surgery and speeds up recovery time.
  • Lower risk of peri-implantitis: The absence of threads and the smooth surface of IARs reduce the accumulation of bacterial plaque, reducing the risk of peri-implant infections.

Materials and Technology in Root Analog Implants (RAI)

The Root Analog Implant (RAI) has benefited from advances in digital technologies, including:

  • CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing): Allows customized implants to be created based on the patient’s anatomy.
  • Cone Beam Computed Tomography: Ensures more precise planning, allowing the implant to be inserted in more favorable regions.
  • Advanced Materials: Zirconia has been explored as an alternative to titanium in the manufacture of these implants, due to its high biocompatibility.

Clinical Indications for a Root Analog Implant (RAI)

The Root Implant Analog (RIA) is recommended for:

  • Patients who need greater primary stability.
  • Cases where the preservation of cortical bone is essential.
  • Regions with limited bone where the use of conventional implants would require grafting.

IAR implants are particularly suitable for patients looking for less invasive treatments with shorter recovery times.

According to Dr. Roberto, the lower invasiveness is due to the fact that no additional drilling is required to place the anatomical implants. Common implants require drilling into the bone to place the implant, which is screwed in. However, IAR anatomical implants adapt perfectly to the hole that is left after tooth extraction (dental alveolus).

During this installation, the implant is placed under pressure inside this hole, without requiring any additional bone wear. In this way, it will adapt perfectly to the anatomical hole, closely resembling the shape of the old tooth.

Scientific Evidence on Customized Implant Root Analogues (IAR)

Recent clinical studies show that IAR implants have a similar or higher success rate than conventional implants. A meta-analysis published in the Journal of Oral Implantology indicated that:

IAR implants are especially recommended for patients looking for less invasive treatments and shorter recovery times.

Our Clinical Director, Dr. Markarian, points out that the application of digital scanning techniques in the manufacture of prostheses on IAR implants can improve the precision of prosthetic adaptation and reduce biomechanical complications.

IAR root analog implant
This historical follow-up of the evolution of IAR root analogue implants was published in a scientific article by Pour et al 2019 [10]. We can see that experiments were carried out with a variety of formats, materials and manufacturing techniques.

Conclusion: The Future of Root Analog Implants (RAI)

Root Analog Implants (RAI) represent a promising and scientifically supported approach to modern implant dentistry. With the use of advanced technologies and a more anatomical design, this technique is proving to be a viable alternative for improving the distribution of masticatory forces, reducing peri-implant bone loss and increasing the long-term success rate.

It is important to note that, despite the potential advantages, the root-like implant technique still requires more long-term clinical studies to evaluate its effectiveness and success compared to traditional implants.[2][6] The technique is also used to evaluate the efficacy and success of root-like implants.

Therefore, these anatomical implants are not available for use in most countries, including Brazil. At our ImplArt Clinic we are always on the lookout for new developments and as soon as they are regulated in Brazil we will start using them. Stay tuned!

Full Face Harmonization: Trust the Expertise of the ImplArt Clinic

Full Face Harmonization: Beauty and Balance with Naturalness

Many people want a more harmonious and balanced face, and full facial harmonization is an effective solution for this. This procedure aims to enhance facial aesthetics in a natural way, respecting the individual proportions of each patient. With over 18 years’ experience, the ImplArt Clinic specializes not only in dentistry, but also in facial procedures, providing integrated and personalized care.

Understand the Full Face Harmonization Procedure

Full-face facial harmonization is a set of minimally invasive procedures that improve facial symmetry and contour. The treatment is personalized, taking into account the bone structure, skin quality and specific needs of each patient.

Main Treatments Included in Facial Harmonization:

  • Application of Hyaluronic Acid: For filling in furrows and volumizing areas such as the lips, cheekbones, chin and jawline.
  • Botulinum toxin (Botox): For smoothing dynamic wrinkles, preventing and treating expression marks on the forehead, around the eyes and in the smile area.
  • Collagen biostimulators: Promote firmness and radiance in the skin, delaying the signs of ageing.
  • Enzymatic Jowl Lipo: To reduce excess fat in the submental region, providing a more defined facial contour.
  • Support threads: For lifting the lower third of the face, repositioning tissues and stimulating collagen in a natural way.
  • Skinbooster: Deep hydration to improve skin texture and quality.

Highlight: Ultraformer MPT Microfocused Ultrasound

The Ultraformer MPT is one of the most innovative treatments for facial harmonization. Using microfocused ultrasound technology, it promotes the “lifting” effect without surgery, stimulating collagen production and reducing sagging skin. Its main benefits include:

  • Facial rejuvenation without the need for recovery time.
  • Improves skin firmness and reduces wrinkles.
  • Progressive and natural results over the months.

This treatment can be combined with other procedures for an overall rejuvenating effect, making it an excellent option for full-face harmonization.

Full Face Harmonization x Dental Treatment or Partial Harmonization

Many patients wonder whether they should invest in a complete treatment or whether just one specific procedure would be enough. Here are the differences:

  • Dental treatment only: A beautiful, well-aligned smile is essential, but facial harmony also involves the balance of features. Often, just correcting the teeth is not enough to achieve a harmonious result.
  • Harmonization of a single region: Isolated procedures, such as lip fillers or Botox, can bring improvements, but do not guarantee a balanced result. Full face harmonization looks at the face as a whole, providing natural and proportionate results.

Aesthetic Dental Treatments

Dentistry or aesthetic dentistry is the area of dentistry that works to restore dental aesthetics. In short, the resources available to improve the aesthetics of the smile include tooth whitening, dental crowns, resin or porcelain restorations, gum surgery (gingivectomy), and the application of modern dental contact lenses.

A more beautiful, white and harmonious smile is possible thanks to dental contact lenses and other aesthetic resources

Or even after wearing braces, when you want to improve some aspects of your smile, because during treatment you can’t change the aesthetics of your teeth. Modern dental contact lenses are ultra-thin porcelain veneers, suitable for correcting aesthetic problems with the teeth, for example:

Dental contact lenses are bonded to the surface of one or more defective teeth in a safe and non-invasive way. Because the lenses are ultra-thin, installation requires little or no wear on the teeth before they can be bonded.

Learn about the new aesthetic facial harmonization procedures performed by the dentist

Naturalness of dental contact lenses

The lenses are made from porcelain, the best bio-safe material used to make dental prostheses, which is similar to natural teeth in terms of its texture and shade, as well as its translucency.

This way, if the dental contact lens is applied to just one defective tooth, it won’t contrast with the neighboring natural teeth. It is certainly an aesthetic procedure that has come to completely change your smile for the better. At ImplArt, the lenses are designed and made by better computerized systems and 3D printers.

In conclusion, the last stage of the procedure is the preparation of the tooth, the application of dental cement and the bonding of the dental contact lens. Dental contact lenses are very durable, as long as the patient takes care not to bite down on hard objects and makes regular visits to the dental practice. Alternatively, veneers can be made from resin with a lower finish.

Dental Contact Lenses

Porcelain dental crowns for aesthetic purposes

Dental crowns and porcelain blocks can be made in cases of tooth damage such as broken teeth. It is very common for patients with bruxism to need cosmetic treatments as they can lose part of their enamel or even entire teeth due to the force applied to their teeth.

Teeth Whitening

Aesthetic techniques aim to improve the appearance of gummy smiles

Plastic surgery on the gums can improve your dental aesthetics. Improving the appearance should be done in the context of a new dental treatment as it alters the frame of the smile. Gum peeling to remove stains, gum grafting surgeries, and gummy smile surgeries are among the options.

Digital Planning

Aesthetic restorations

Porcelain blocks and porcelain dental crowns

An aesthetic composite resin restoration is a dental aesthetic procedure in which a resin composite material is used to repair or rebuild the structure of an aesthetically compromised tooth.

This technique is often used to correct cavities, fractures or discolorations in order to restore the shape, function and natural appearance of teeth.

During the process, the dentist removes the damaged part of the tooth, prepares the affected area and applies layers of composite resin, carefully shaping them to ensure a perfect fit with the dental anatomy.

The resin is then hardened with special ultraviolet light.

The advantage of composite resin lies in its ability to mimic the color and texture of adjacent teeth, providing an aesthetic and long-lasting end result while preserving the structural integrity of the restored tooth.

Total Implantation . Implantation of all teeth

Total dental implants can be implanted in both the mandible (lower arch) and maxilla (upper arch), although there are important anatomical differences that interfere with the planning of dental implant surgery. Fixed prostheses on dental implants can be made of Zirconia, Pure Zirconia, Porcelain(metal-ceramic), as well as Resin, called a protocol prosthesis. This type of implant treatment for all teeth, also called a total dental implant with protocol, allows patients to regain their smile and chew.

Dental implant surgery is currently a fairly straightforward operation, carried out in an office or hospital environment, with hospitalization for the patient’s comfort. Implants make it possible to replace missing teeth even in large areas of the arch, including in patients with all their teeth compromised by periodontal disease.
They can also be used in patients with bone loss, who may need bone grafting before or during the installation of the dental implant.

It is important to note that there are currently different types of dental implants, and the most modern ones, cone morse implants, allow for faster healing.

Total Implantation . Implanting all teeth step by step

With regard to the end result, the aim is to obtain fixed dental prostheses that will remain supported on the implants. This will allow the patient to regain their masticatory function and aesthetics.

Of course, as protocol prostheses are screwed onto dental implants, the result is a very efficient dental prosthesis for chewing, as well as excellent aesthetics and comfort.

It is therefore a much better solution than a removable prosthesis, as it provides excellent fixation and stability. In the upper arch, the total implant has the added advantage of completely uncovering the palate (roof of the mouth), which improves patient comfort.

Unlike removable prostheses (dentures), which cover the roof of the mouth to allow them to be fixed and make it difficult to perceive the taste of food, prostheses on implants are thin and occupy only the region of the dentition, leaving the rest of the mouth free, similar to the situation found when there are natural teeth. Currently, the most modern materials are the Zirconia protocol and the porcelain protocol on a total implant.

Protocol prosthesis

This type of treatment is usually also called a Protocol Prosthesis. Although, from a technical point of view, this name is only used when the prosthesis is made of resin, the nomenclature is widely used to identify this treatment.

Total Implantation .Examinations and planning

After radiographic examinations and a CT scan of the jaws, the dental implant specialist will be able to analyze the ideal planning for the case and thus indicate bone complements such as grafts to better prepare the bone if necessary.

The jaw bone (lower arch) is more rigid and resistant, so dental implants can be installed in most cases. The upper jaw bone, on the other hand, is less dense and delicate and has a more complex anatomy.

Certainly the proximity to the nose, the maxillary sinus cavities and the greater bone loss require further study.

Total Implantation . With or without Graft ?

If bone grafting is necessary, don’t be alarmed – it’s very common. Of course, dental grafting for full implants is not necessarily complicated, invasive or large. On the contrary, most of the time the bone graft for a full arch implant is simple, small and restricted to the position of the implant.

Less invasive implant surgery: in our clinic we use current concepts of minimally invasive surgery for dental implants, which make the procedure faster and offer greater comfort during the procedure and especially during the healing phase of the dental implant.

Computer-guided implant surgery: this is a type of dental implant surgery offered at our clinic that is planned by computerized scans of the jaws.

For example, computed tomography, in conjunction with a digital mold of the arch (scanner), generates guides for the quick and safe positioning of implants. Click here to learn more about guided surgery for total implants.

Total Implants . Protocol Prosthesis and other types

Certainly the most common prosthesis for implanting all the teeth in a full arch is the so-called protocol prosthesis. This is a resin prosthesis with a metal reinforcement bar inside.

Over time, however, more modern ways of making complete implant prostheses have emerged. At the ImplArt Dental Clinic, we offer more technological implant materials, which are completely made on our premises and in our own dental prosthesis laboratory (see more):

Perfect Smile with Aligners or Braces and Dental Implants

The combination of aligners or braces and dental implants is essential to ensure a complete, functional and aesthetic smile. When a tooth is lost, neighboring teeth tend to move and occupy the empty space, causing misalignment, incorrect bite and even chewing difficulties. Without proper replacement with an implant, this movement can compromise the tooth structure and even cause bone loss.

Orthodontic treatment, especially with innovative solutions such as Invisalign, repositions teeth precisely, correcting misalignment and creating the right space for a dental implant. The implant replaces the lost tooth permanently, restoring aesthetics, chewing function and preventing further tooth displacement.

At ImplArt Dental Clinic, this integration is carried out with state-of-the-art technology and a highly qualified multidisciplinary team, guaranteeing long-lasting and personalized results for each patient. In this article, you will understand how implants and orthodontic appliances can guarantee a harmonious, functional and long-lasting smile.

Why Integrate Braces and Implants?

The absence of a tooth directly affects oral health and the harmony of the smile. Therefore, treatment with braces will allow for better alignment of the teeth, whether for treatment with implants, dental crowns or even dental contact lenses.
Integrating braces and implants treatment offers many benefits:

1. Braces and Implants: Correct Replacement of Lost Teeth

Without adequate replacement of the missing tooth, neighboring teeth tend to lean in and occupy the empty space. Orthodontic treatment realigns these teeth, preparing the site for insertion of the dental implant.

➡️ Find out more about our implant treatments:
👉 Dental Implants at ImplArt Dental Clinic Specializing in Dental Implants

2. Braces and Implants: Preventing Bone Loss

The lack of stimulation in the area of the missing tooth causes bone resorption. The dental implant is integrated into the bone, preserving bone density and preventing changes to the facial structure.

3. Braces and implants: Bite correction and chewing function

Misaligned teeth compromise bite and chewing. Braces reposition the teeth, while dental implants complete the chewing function.

➡️ Understand how digital technology helps in this process:
👉 Blunt dental implant and computer-guided surgery

4. Braces and implants: Aesthetics and confidence restored

The combination of aligning teeth and replacing missing teeth with zirconia implants results in a natural, harmonious smile.

➡️ Learn about the benefits of new types of dental implants:
👉 New types of dental implant

The Role of Invisalign in Preparing for Dental Implants

Invisalign is a transparent, comfortable and effective orthodontic aligner, ideal for preparing the smile for the placement of dental implants. It corrects the position of the teeth discreetly and efficiently, creating the necessary space for the installation of the dental implant.

Advantages of Invisalign for Integration with Implants

  • Discretion and Comfort: Almost invisible aligners, which do not interfere with aesthetics during treatment.
  • Removable: Facilitates oral hygiene and food consumption.
  • Digital Planning: Allows you to visualize all the stages of the treatment before it even begins.

Zirconia Implants: The Best Aesthetic Option

Zirconia implants are the ideal solution for patients looking for aesthetics and biocompatibility. As well as being metal-free, these implants offer a more natural appearance, especially in the anterior region of the mouth.

Benefits of Zirconia Implants

  • Superior Aesthetics: Natural appearance without the risk of metal exposure.
  • Biocompatibility: Totally safe and hypoallergenic.
  • High durability: Superior resistance to wear and fractures.

Zirconia Implants and Prostheses: The Perfect Aesthetic Solution

Benefits of Zirconia Implants:

  1. Natural Aesthetics: The white color of zirconia resembles natural teeth, without metallic interference.
  2. High Biocompatibility: Ideal for patients looking for safe and hypoallergenic materials.
  3. Durability and Resistance: Highly resistant material, guaranteeing a long service life.

In addition, dentures made with zirconia are customized for each patient, ensuring a perfect fit and a natural appearance.

Digital Planning: Integrating Orthodontics and Implantology

At the ImplArt Clinic, the use of advanced technology, such as the 3D scanner, 3D digital tomography and guided surgery, allows for integrated planning between Invisalign and the implants. This process guarantees precision at every stage of treatment.

“The integration of orthodontics and dental implants is essential for restoring not only the aesthetics but also the full functionality of the smile. Aligning teeth precisely and repositioning implants at the right time guarantees long-lasting results and significantly improves patients’ quality of life.”
– Dr. Roberto Markarian, specialist in implant dentistry and clinical director of the ImplArt Clinic.

Dental implants under sedation for those afraid of the dentist

What is sedation?

Now those who are afraid of the dentist can rest easy. Simple or complex dental procedures can be carried out in a dentist’s office under intravenous sedation. The technique allows the odontophobic patient’s level of consciousness to decrease at the time of the procedure, but does not affect their ability to breathe and respond appropriately to physical stimulation and verbal commands.

It is important to note that the ImplArt Clinic team provides humanized care, in other words, respecting the limits of each patient, so that they can feel welcome and at ease. This applies to simple procedures such as prophylaxis and restorations, root canal treatment and even surgical procedures such as bone grafting or dental implants.

How is sedation carried out?

Before the procedure begins, an anesthesiologist applies a sedative medication intravenously. Dental treatment is then carried out by the dentist. This treatment can be as simple as a prophylaxis or include a dental implant or bone graft. In the meantime, the anesthesiologist remains in the room throughout the procedure or surgery, monitoring the patient and also following their recovery. There is also nitrous oxide conscious sedation, in which the patient breathes in a gas (nitrous oxide). However, at ImplArt we only offer intravenous sedation. We don’t use gas because it doesn’t offer enough reassurance to a patient who is afraid.

Why sedate?

You may be a candidate for sedation if you have odontophobia (fear of the dentist), fear of pain, get irritated by the noise of the motor, don’t like the anesthesia needle, are afraid of the dental office, afraid of blood, dental drills, etc. In this way, the procedure becomes simple for the patient, because when they wake up, all the work has already been done. It also offers convenience, as sedation is carried out in the dental office without the need for hospitalization. Even if conscious during the procedure, the patient doesn’t remember what happened.

Is it a general anesthetic?

Sedation is not general anesthesia. General anesthesia uses more powerful drugs and the patient becomes unconscious, needing the aid of breathing apparatus. During simple sedation, the patient remains drowsy but awake (conscious).

What do you feel during sedation?

Sedation by vein gives the patient a feeling of comfort, as they almost fall asleep but remain conscious. It also makes the dentist’s job easier, as he uses fewer anesthetics and can work more quickly.

What procedures can be done under sedation?

Simple or complex procedures can be carried out. In most cases, the dentist can take the opportunity to carry out several treatments in one day, in what is known as a Dental Day Clinic or Dental Spa. Examples of treatments that can be carried out under sedation are: fillings, cleaning, surgery, dental implant surgery, tooth extraction, wisdom tooth extraction, periodontal scraping, tooth whitening, among others.

Who can do it?

Any patient in good general health can undergo this technique. First of all, the anesthesiologist will check whether you can undergo the procedure, or if there are any restrictions, and may request some tests. Please note: we do not treat children or special patients.

Testimonials

“Excellent clinic and excellent professionals. I had a phobia of dentists, I had implant surgery with conscious sedation and other treatments over a few months and from start to finish I didn ‘t feel any pain. I recommend it 100%” – Alessandra Escobar

“I’m very anxious about going to the dentist and I’ve always avoided it as much as possible. Now it’s been five years without treating my teeth, so I ended up losing some dentures, had a lot of cavities and an episode of pain. Then I came across the ImplArt clinic and this sedation technique. It was very easy to have the treatment this way. The doctor who saw me was very attentive and looked after me until the end of the procedure. I also found that the dentist worked quickly and did some implants and treated the cavities while I was asleep. It was kind of magical, but when I woke up everything was ready, I thought it was great” – M.R.R., businesswoman

dental implants for the elderly

Dental Implants in the Elderly: Is it Safe? Benefits of implants on quality of life

With the increase in life expectancy, the search for quality of life in old age has never been more important. For many older people, dental implants are the ideal solution for regaining functionality, aesthetics and confidence in their smile. Today’s elderly are challenging the stereotypes of ageing. With more access to information, greater concern for well-being and advances in medicine, they live actively, seek to improve their quality of life and don’t give up on aesthetics, especially when it comes to oral health and dental treatments.

But are dental implants safe for the elderly? In this article, we’ll explore the advances in modern dentistry that make dental implants a safe option and the benefits they offer in the elderly. This applies to individual dental implants, total implants and protocol prostheses.

But after all, who is considered elderly these days?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the concept of the elderly varies according to the reality in each country. In developing nations, such as Brazil, people aged 60 or over are considered elderly, while in developed countries, the age range starts at 65.

However, the view of ageing has changed. Today, many elderly people live actively, participating in physical and social activities and investing in their health and well-being, including through dental treatments that combine functionality and aesthetics. This profile reflects a generation seeking healthy longevity and quality of life.

The Elderly and the Search for Quality of Life

With an ever-increasing life expectancy, the elderly are living fuller and more active lives:

  • Healthy longevity: Many take part in physical activities, travel and try to stay socially connected.
  • Oral health as a priority: Taking care of your smile is not just an aesthetic issue, but also a functional one. Dental problems can affect eating, speaking and even general health.

Investing in dental treatments such as dental implants helps to improve quality of life and boosts self-esteem, allowing older people to smile with confidence and live to the full.

Dental implants in the elderly: Is it safe to have implants in old age?

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist:“Age alone is not an impediment to dental implants. What really matters is the patient’s general health and the condition of the bone structure in the mouth.” At the ImplArt Clinic, we carry out complete assessments to ensure the safety and success of treatment for the elderly.

Factors Evaluated Before Dental Implant Procedures in the Elderly:

  1. General Health: Chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension must be controlled before the procedure.
  2. BoneDensity: Bone loss is common in the elderly, but can be solved with bone grafts if necessary.
  3. Personalized Planning: We use technologies such as digital tomography and 3D planning, which offer precision and safety, even in the most complex cases.

The Benefits of Dental Implants in the Elderly

Recovering lost teeth is not just a question of aesthetics, but also of health and quality of life. Check out the main benefits that dental implants offer the elderly:

  1. Improved chewing and digestion
    With fixed teeth, the elderly can chew properly again, which facilitates digestion and improves the absorption of nutrients.
  2. Preventing Bone Loss
    Dental implants stimulate the alveolar bone, preventing the bone resorption common after tooth loss.
  3. Natural Aesthetics
    Using modern materials such as zirconia, implants offer a natural and beautiful smile.
  4. Increased Quality of Life
    With a complete and functional smile, patients regain their confidence and willingness to socialize, improving their emotional health.
