Fear of dental implants – Resources available at ImplArt

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

Afraid of Dental Implants?

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

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

Differencia Clinica Dentaria ImplArt for those who are afraid

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

Humanized treatment helps tackle dentist phobia

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Efficient pre-anesthesia helps in odontophobic cases

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

Juvapen electronic anesthesia – anesthesia almost without pain

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

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

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

Deep intravenous sedation puts the phobic patient to sleep

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Guided dental implant surgery makes implants faster and less invasive

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

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

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

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

How do I get a dental implant?

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

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

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

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

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

What are osseointegrated implants?

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

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

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

replacing dentures with fixed implant prostheses made of zirconia, how to make an implant — *Example of treatment to replace a mobile prosthesis with a fixed prosthesis on implants (zirconia prosthesis). The fixed prosthesis offers more comfort, beauty and security than a mobile prosthesis.*

Are implants better than removable dentures?

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

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

Read about replacing dentures with implants with fixed prosthesis

What are the chances of an implant working?

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

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

What’s so magical about titanium dental implants?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Are dental implants aesthetically pleasing?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Will chewing ability improve after implants?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How much do dental implants cost?

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

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

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

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

Straumann SLA Roxolid Swiss implants

Straumann’s SLA Roxolid Swiss implants are made from a high-performance metal alloy consisting of 85% titanium and 15% zirconium. Together, these two metals form a material with superior strength to pure titanium implants .

The best dental implants in the world now

The surface of Straumann SLA Swiss implants

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

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

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

Dental implants in one day with Straumann SLActive

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

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

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

Total Implant in 1 month – main requirements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Porcelain prosthesis

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

Dental protocol prosthesis

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

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

Digital Periapical Radiography at ImplArt

Digital periapical radiography

The ImplArt Clinic is always thinking about offering the most modern resources to its patients, which is why it has just added the modern Vatech EzRay Air equipment for periapical scans to its Radiology Center. This equipment allows radiographic examinations to be carried out with excellent image quality, which helps in diagnoses for more precise implants and other treatments much more quickly and comfortably.

Here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic, right from your initial consultation with our clinical director, implant dentist Dr. Roberto Markarian, you can have your dental implant exams done before you even come in for a consultation. This way, as the test results are real-time and digital, they will already be available for full evaluation.

The EzRay Air is a very light X-ray machine, rich in technological features, such as Intelligent Positioning, which allows images to be acquired quickly and conveniently thanks to its digital display with automatic angulation calculation. But how important are the tests for implant surgery? We’ll find out more below.

How important are the tests for dental implants?

Of course, periapical radiographic images are essential for visualizing teeth, dental crowns, roots, periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone (bone around teeth/implants) in detail. The periapical image is the best radiographic view for identifying certain types of lesions, infections, diseases, anomalies or fractures in any of these anatomical structures. In addition, panoramic radiography and computed tomography are necessary to plan implant surgery.

High image quality and security with digital periapical radiography

Digital periapical radiography, with its high image quality, is the result of carbon nanotechnology combined with a focal point of just 0.4 mm, which is the standard of excellence in radiology worldwide. This combination generates images with optimal contrast for faster and more accurate diagnoses. The EzRay Airf is designed to guarantee a distance from the focal point to the skin and reduce the radiation dose to the patient by 60%. The CMOS technology of the intraoral sensor is thinner, providing greater patient comfort.

Topics in this article about dental contact lenses

What are dental contact lenses?

Dental lenses are a modern technique that can certainly transform the aesthetics of your smile quickly. They are ultra-thin porcelain veneers (0.2 mm) that are bonded to the outside of the teeth in order to correct certain defects in the teeth.

This is the case, for example, with stains, small fractures, asymmetries, diastemas (exaggerated space between teeth), very short teeth, among others. Dental contact lens treatment is undoubtedly the secret to the smiles of the famous.

What is the best material for dental contact lenses?

They are made from dental porcelain. This is a glassy ceramic material (lithium disilicate) that is very resistant and imitates the texture and shades of natural teeth. It is certainly a safe material and totally biocompatible with the human body.

What is the difference between dental contact lenses and resin veneers?

Dental contact lenses are now associated with an aesthetically natural smile and their development involves modern computer graphics techniques and 3D printers.

Nowadays, however, we see that the old resin veneers are becoming more popular. Of course, it’s important to note that resin is a far inferior material to porcelain. Therefore, it is likely that the option of resin veneers has gained ground mainly due to their price and low treatment costs. Although resin veneers are a more economical option, they have a tendency to yellow over time and, in most cases, promote extra tooth volume. Resin veneers therefore offer no advantages over dental contact lenses.
See below for a video showing the differences between Porcelain Contact Lenses and Resin Veneers:

How are dental contact lenses made?

In a consultation, the patient is first examined and listened to by the dentist so that all their expectations are understood. Our team will then check whether this treatment is the right one for you.

At the ImplArt Clinic, not only the design but also the execution of the contact lenses is done using computerized systems. The computerized design is based on images obtained by an intraoral scanner.

A high-precision camera with Danish technology is passed over the teeth and a digital mold is created on the computer screen. The digital impression reproduces every detail, such as shape, color and texture. The images of the digital mold are used to plan the lenses, the choice of shade and the shape.

The aesthetic design takes into account that the lenses match the neighboring teeth, as well as each person’s face and personality. One of the great advantages of the computerized design of the lenses is that the treatment can be fully simulated and the patient can see what their teeth will look like. Once the design has been approved, the lenses are then made in 3D printers.

Preparing teeth for lenses: is there wear on the teeth?

Because dental contact lenses are ultra-thin, they have the great advantage of requiring little or no wear on the teeth in order to be bonded. The lenses are then bonded onto the prepared teeth with a type of dental adhesive.

It’s worth noting that dental contact lenses are firmer when bonded to the front teeth than to the back teeth. The work is almost always done without anesthesia in the area where the contact lenses will be placed, but when the preparation requires some wear that reaches the dentin, anesthesia is applied to avoid discomfort.

Do dental contact lenses always have to be very white?

Many patients want to get contact lenses and are afraid that their smile will look too white and artificial. Certainly the choice of the color of the prostheses, including the lenses, generates expectation in the patient, as they are, after all, a fundamental part of the treatment. Dental contact lenses can produce very natural and harmonious results. First of all, it’s important to note that there is a very wide range of colors for computerized contact lenses. Of course, here at the ImplArt Clinic you will be guided to choose a shade that is in harmony with you, through visagism techniques and with professional guidance.

Color of contact lenses should be natural

Contact Lens treatment can be combined with crowns and implants

Yes, contact lens treatment can certainly be combined with other patient needs. Therefore, if the patient needs dental implants, dental crowns or contact lenses on other teeth, the treatment is planned together.

According to Dr. Markarian, our clinical director, the contact lenses are designed in computer graphics along with the dental crowns on implants. They are then printed on the modern 3D milling machines in our digital laboratory.
In this way, the smile presents natural and long-lasting final results. Both the teeth that have been fitted with Contact Lenses and those with dental implant crowns will have harmonious shades and shapes.

Some indications for dental contact lenses

Covering stains on teeth (in the case of very dark stains, another treatment may be indicated)
Tooth augmentation – suitable for people with very short teeth
Change in the shape of the teeth
Volume leveling between teeth
Closing diastemas – closing the gap between teeth
Correcting tooth asymmetry
Texture correction, for example on teeth with worn enamel
Repairing broken or chipped teeth

Major problems of asymmetry and misaligned teeth, in principle, cannot be solved with dental contact lenses, but with orthodontic treatment or Invisalign clear aligners.

Nowadays we can improve your case even further using facial harmonization techniques

Advantages of dental contact lenses

High resistance and long durability of the dental contact lens
Very aesthetic look, comparable to natural teeth
Minimally invasive restorations
Completely painless procedure
They don’t require much tooth grinding to be installed
Preserves the structure of the teeth
No discomfort in chewing function
Porcelain doesn’t change color over the years
Incredibly natural and harmonious result
It can be designed and executed in a short time, in some cases even in a Day Clinic.

Dental contact lenses: disadvantages and contraindications

People with many restorations
Serious bruxism sufferers
Weak teeth at risk of falling out or fracturing. For weak teeth it may be better to make a dental porcelain crown.
Dental malocclusion and orthodontic problems.
Missing teeth in the back of the mouth and the need for dental implants.
Tooth decay, periodontal disease and gingivitis. These teeth should be treated first
As the treatment is definitive, it is not possible to remove the lens and leave it without a replacement, as the tooth has been prepared for the placement of the lens (enamel wear). This is why the treatment must be well planned between dentist and patient to avoid regrets.

Lente de contato — *Contact lenses on the front teeth. The side tooth shows the amount of wear needed to place the aesthetic dental lens.*

How long do dental contact lenses last?

The duration of dental contact lenses depends on certain precautions, such as:

Good treatment planning and execution, important to promote the best adaptation of the lenses to the teeth and gums
Good quality materials (porcelain and dental cement)
Proper oral hygiene
Regular visits to the dentist
Use a brush with soft bristles and brush gently to avoid receding gums.
Food (beware of acidic foods that can aggressively damage porcelain)
Avoid biting your nails or chewing on hard objects

However, dental contact lenses have a limited lifespan and may need to be replaced after a few years (5 to 10 years).

Contact lenses price

Prices and values of dental treatments and dental contact lenses can only be given after a dental consultation. There are three main reasons for this:

The Code of Ethics of the Federal Council of Dentistry prohibits dentists from carrying out consultations without evaluating the patient.
Dental treatments can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient. There are numerous factors that influence the planning and price of a treatment, such as materials, techniques used, extent of the problem, etc.
The third is the importance of being assessed by a professional dentist who makes dental lenses, who is attentive to all the details of oral health, not just aesthetics.

It is certainly important to emphasize that a dental treatment cannot be compared by its price. The value of a treatment involves several factors and choosing by price alone cannot be a determining factor. Choose the quality and seriousness of the professional, not just the price!

We at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt are on hand to answer any questions you may have about this important and renewing treatment! Contact us to schedule your evaluation appointment with Dr. Roberto Markarian, our clinical director. If you are far away, abroad or in another state, there is always the possibility of scheduling your appointment online.

Dental implant: types of dental implant and treatment stages

Losing one or more teeth can significantly affect your oral health and self-esteem. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers several types of dental implant that provide long-lasting results and a natural appearance. If you are looking for the best clinic to perform your dental implant in São Paulo, ImplArt Dental Clinic is the ideal choice! Recognized as the Best Dental Clinic in Brazil by the Global Clinic Rating, ImplArt offers the most advanced techniques and a highly qualified team to guarantee the success of your treatment.

In this guide, we’ll explore the main types of dental implant and treatment stages, explaining the benefits of each and how to choose the best option for you. In addition, we’ll demystify dental implant surgery, showing you that it’s simpler than it looks.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is an effective solution for replacing teeth lost due to tooth decay, gum disease, trauma or other oral problems. The implant is a structure inserted into the bone and serves as a base for crowns, dentures and the prosthetic protocol.

This procedure not only restores the function of natural teeth, but also improves chewing, speech and the aesthetics of the smile, positively impacting the patient’s self-esteem. At the ImplArt Clinic, we use different types of dental implants, including titanium and ceramic pins and zirconia implants.

Why Are Dental Implants Necessary?

In addition to improving appearance, dental implants are essential for oral health and general well-being. Implants help maintain facial structure, prevent adjacent teeth from shifting and prevent problems with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth can move into the empty space, causing misalignment and other problems. It is therefore ideal for the lost tooth to be replaced quickly with an implant.

At the ImplArt Clinic, the types of dental implant we offer are carefully designed for complete oral rehabilitation, with the best solution in mind for each patient.

What is Dental Implant Surgery like?

Dental implant surgery is a procedure carried out by a dental surgeon specializing in implant dentistry, called an implant dentist. Dental implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation may also be used. The surgery can last from 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the case. You can receive simultaneous bone grafting when necessary. In addition, implant surgery can be performed together with the extraction of the compromised tooth, in most cases.

Dental implant stages

Implant surgery begins with the application of local anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort. In some cases, we use intravenous sedation to reduce the patient’s perception during the procedure. Sedation is specially designed for those who are afraid of the dentist or who want more comfort during the procedure.

The implant is then inserted into the bone to serve as an artificial root. After the implant has been placed, the gum is sutured or, in cases where implant surgery is performed without cutting, only a piece called a scar is installed. The process is the same for all types of dental implant.

To find out more about computer-guided surgery, go to: “Blunt dental implants and computer-guided surgery”.

Does Implant Surgery Hurt?

A common concern among patients is pain. After all, everyone wants to know if dental implant surgery hurts. At the ImplArt Clinic, we ensure that the procedure is as comfortable as possible. The gum area is completely anaesthetized, and the bone where the implant is fixed has few innervations, making the procedure very smooth. For patients with a phobia of dental treatment, we offer the option of sedation, providing a more peaceful experience. There is also the option of electronic anesthesia, which can help patients with a fear of needles.

The post-operative period is managed with painkillers and antibiotics to minimize any discomfort and prevent infections. Read more: “Does an implant hurt or not?“.

What’s the Aftermath of Implant Surgery?

After surgery, the patient must follow the implant dentist ‘s guidelines to ensure a speedy recovery without complications. At the ImplArt Clinic, we recommend resting for at least 24 hours, avoiding mouthwash and maintaining a diet of soft, cold food. Physical activity and exposure to the sun should also be limited during recovery. The recovery period is usually the same regardless of the type of dental implant. The post-operative period of implant surgery is closely monitored, and after 7 days the patient returns to the Clinic to monitor healing.

Who Needs Dental Implants?

Dental implants are indicated for people who have lost one or more teeth due to infection, periodontal disease, caries or trauma. At the ImplArt Clinic, we assess each case individually, using fully digital X-rays and CT scans, to determine the bone structure and the most suitable type of implant. It is essential that this assessment is carried out by a qualified professional to ensure safe and effective treatment. The exams are carried out directly at the ImplArt Clinic, bringing more comfort and precision to the patient. Find out more about the tests carried out at ImplArt: Modern tests for dental implants.

When Are Dental Implants Not Recommended?

Although they are an effective solution, dental implants are not recommended for children and young people in the bone growth phase, as the implants do not follow the growth of the face. Patients with controlled diabetes and hypertension, on the other hand, can have dental implants. In addition, there are currently several types of dental implant, capable of serving even those with little bone.
At the ImplArt Clinic, each case is rigorously assessed to ensure that the treatment is safe and suited to each patient’s needs.

How Can Implants Improve Your Self-Esteem and Quality of Life?

The smile is an important component of self-esteem and personal image. Losing teeth can negatively affect a person’s emotional and social well-being. According to studies, millions of Brazilians live without any teeth, which directly affects their ability to chew, speak and, above all, their self-esteem. At the ImplArt Clinic, dental implants are an effective solution for restoring patients’ confidence and freedom, allowing them to smile again with confidence and satisfaction.

Types of Dental Implants Available at the ImplArt Clinic

Learn about the main types of dental implant offered by the ImplArt Clinic:

1. single-unit dental implant:

The individual dental implant is one of the types of dental implant offered at the ImplArt Clinic. It is ideal for replacing a single tooth, where a titanium or zirconia pin is placed in the site of the missing tooth. Once the implant has osseointegrated, a permanent prosthesis is installed.

2. Multiple dental implants:

Multiple implants or multi-tooth implants are another type of dental implant. It is recommended for replacing three consecutive teeth using two implants. The prosthesis of the central tooth rests on the gum, providing an economical and effective solution.

3. Total implant with Protocol Prosthesis:

A total implant with a protocol prosthesis is the solution for those who have lost all the teeth in an arch. In this type of dental implant, the fixed prosthesis is supported by four to six implants, offering complete rehabilitation of aesthetics and chewing. The protocol prosthesis can be made of zirconia, porcelain or resin. The most modern material for protocol prostheses is zirconia.

4. All-on-4 dental implant

The All on four implant is a type of dental implant that uses four implants to support a complete fixed prosthesis. The All on 4 implant is ideal for those who have lost all the teeth in an arch and is simpler than the Protocol Prosthesis , as it is made of resin, called metal-plastic.

5. Zygomatic Implant

The Zygomatic Implant is one of the types of dental implant, but it is indicated exclusively for patients with severe maxillary atrophy, where the bone does not have enough volume and when it is decided not to perform bone grafting.

Dental Implant Models Used at ImplArt Dental Clinic

In addition to the different types of dental implant, we also use various models, which differ in material and shape:

Short Implant: Indicated for patients who normally have little bone mass in the jaw area, avoiding the need for bone grafts.
Titanium implant: Made from titanium, known for its biocompatibility and resistance.
Zirconia implant: Similar to the color of natural teeth, ideal for patients with thin or atrophied gums.
Nanotechnological implants: These are types of dental implant with a surface treated with nanometric particles that stimulate healing and osseointegration.

How to Find the Best Dental Implant Clinic in São Paulo?

The apple cider vinegar or lemon diet and its impact on oral health

Nowadays, it’s common to find influencers on social media promoting the consumption of lemon and apple cider vinegar as miracle remedies for a variety of health problems, including weight loss, detoxifying the body, improving digestion and even preventing chronic diseases. These products are often extolled as natural solutions that are supposed to bring significant benefits to general health and even oral health. But is this true?

There is no robust scientific evidence to prove the effectiveness of lemon and apple cider vinegar for these specific purposes. In addition, the dissemination of this information, often without due scientific rigor, can lead the public into practices that, instead of improving health, can cause significant damage to teeth.

In this article, we’ll look at the damage caused to your oral health by the apple cider vinegar diet and the lemon diet. To illustrate these points, Dr. Roberto Markarian, a reference in dental implants and oral health, will help us understand the impact of this type of diet on your teeth.

Apple cider vinegar diet

The apple cider vinegar diet involves the daily consumption of apple cider vinegar, which can be added to water or to meals, such as salads, for example. According to internet gurus, apple cider vinegar could help reduce body fat, as well as reducing appetite, decreasing insulin spikes and having an antioxidant effect. However, science has no proof of the effectiveness of this diet and frequent consumption of apple cider vinegar can cause oral health problems, as we’ll discuss below.

Lemon diet

The “lemon diet” is another practice that has also gained popularity mainly on social media, being promoted as a method for detoxifying the body, losing weight and improving general health. The diet generally involves drinking lemon juice diluted with water several times a day, often on an empty stomach or before meals.

Some variations include combining lemon juice with other ingredients such as honey, ginger or apple cider vinegar. Also, in some versions, it is recommended to increase the amount of lemon and the frequency of consumption over several days, until you reach a high and repeated consumption.

Although lemon is a fruit rich in vitamin C, which contributes to the body’s immunity, this diet, like the apple cider vinegar diet, is not scientifically proven to be effective either, and the damage to oral health is concrete!

lemon diet — *Lemon diet spreads on social media without scientific basis*

Dental erosion: the risks of acidic foods for dental health

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, if the patient has a diet rich in acidic foods, the impacts can be observed when assessing them clinically. In addition to vinegar and lemon juice, these foods include orange juice and even pickles. It’s worth noting that occasional consumption doesn’t carry any risks, but rather the systemic use of foods that have corrosive potential.

Regular consumption of lemon and apple cider vinegar, especially in their concentrated form, poses a substantial risk to dental health. These products are extremely acidic –lemon contains citric acid, and apple cider vinegar is rich in acetic acid –which can lead to erosion of tooth enamel, the protective layer that coats the teeth. Erosion of the enamel can result in cavities, increased sensitivity and, in more serious cases, complex treatments such as fillings or even dental implants. These impacts can also be seen on the teeth of patients suffering from Bulimia, due to the contact of stomach acids on the mucosa and teeth.

For those patients who have dental crowns, there are also risks because the acidic environment can damage the remaining tooth structure, with infiltrations that can lead to tooth loss and the need for implants.

*Learn aboutthe types of dental implants: “Types of dental implants available”

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist and director of Clinica Dentaria ImplArt , foods with a high acid content significantly accelerate the erosion of tooth enamel. Constant acidity erodes this protective layer, exposing the dentin and increasing tooth sensitivity and the risk of cavities. According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, “The first stage is that the tooth gets white spots from acid burn, which can be stabilized if the diet is regularized. In the second stage, the damage to the tooth structure can no longer be recovered, so it is essential that patients adopt preventive measures to minimize these harmful effects.” – Dr. Roberto Markarian, Director of the ImplArt Clinic

The risk of influencers and the importance of scientific information

Digital influencers often have no scientific training and yet they spread practices that can be harmful to oral and general health. Promoting the consumption of lemon and apple cider vinegar as a solution to health problems is a classic example of how information can be misinterpreted and passed on to the public without due consideration of the risks involved.

It is therefore crucial that readers exercise caution when following health advice found on social media and seek information from reliable sources, such as health professionals and rigorous scientific studies. Educating the public about the risks associated with consuming these products can prevent damage to health and promote safer and more effective practices.

And if in doubt, always consult your doctor and dentist – only they will be able to give you informed advice based on proven techniques. So always be wary of miracle solutions and invest in knowledge!

Prosthetics and restorations in one day with Cerec

The state-of-the-art Cerec 3D system means that, in some cases, prostheses and dental restorations can be designed and made in just one day. This speed is only possible because of the Cerec 3D system with German technology.

Technology at the service of dentistry to make prostheses and restorations quickly

It has a machining unit (its own prosthetic laboratory) that sculpts the shape of the prosthesis in a ceramic block, according to the digital design previously made on a computer using CAD/CAM technology.

The prostheses designed and sculpted by the Cerec 3D System fit perfectly and are in harmony with each patient’s needs. The prostheses that can be made in one day at Cerec 3D:

Partial dentures (onlay or inlay)
Crown on dentalimplant or on tooth
Small fixed prosthesis
Veneers and contact lenses

New at ImplArt: Cerec Primemill milling machine

The Cerec Primemill milling machine is the most up-to-date version of the Cerec Sirona system for producing crowns, bridges, dental lenses and aesthetic restorations. This advanced German technology allows us to carry out diverse prosthetic work in porcelain with even greater precision and richness of detail.

This new version has functions for faster and more accurate production, allowing us to increasingly deal with various cases in Day Clinic – intensive treatment.

Although we have the Cerec 3D system in our clinic, prostheses and restorations can only be made in one day in the most urgent cases, because they always need to be designed on a computer.

To find out if your case could benefit from this technique, please contact us. We’ll be happy to help you! Get to know ImplArt and its complete structure.
