All on four is a technique for full-arch oral rehabilitation, i.e. restoring full dentition to those who have lost all the teeth in an arch. It is a much more comfortable and safer option than a mobile prosthesis (denture), as the fixedprosthesis is attached to 4 dental implants distributed throughout the arch, like a protocol prosthesis. The technique is more economical than a protocol prosthesis and has different characteristics. Find out more about the technique used at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt below and whether it is suitable for your case.
How does the All on 4 technique work? Is this technique right for me?
The All on 4 protocol consists of the surgical placement of 4 implant pins strategically distributed throughout the arch, followed by the fixing of a complete dental prosthesis.
The technique is generally indicated for people who have lost all their teeth in a full arch, upper or lower. Many of them wear mobiledentures and have advanced bone resorption(low bone volume), i.e. they have bone loss and are unable to place several dental implants in the arch.
We can therefore define the All on 4 technique as a dental implant alternative for people with little bone volume. Therefore, there is no need for bone grafts.
Another option for those with little bone volume is to use short or thinner implants, often avoiding bone grafting procedures.
We have performed over 1.000 cases of all-on-four implants since 2008, at ImplArt Clinic !
The choice of which technique is best for your case should be discussed between the patient and the dental surgeon, in consultation, after clinical and radiological assessment. Find out more about smaller dental implants here.
The immediate loading technique can be defined as one in which the prosthesis is fixed more quickly after the implants have been placed. Most of the time, on the same day.
What is the difference between the All on four technique and the traditional protocol prosthesis technique?
In the conventional technique, 6 dental implant pins are generally used throughout the arch to support the protocol prosthesis.
With the All on four technique, four dental implant screws are used, the two posterior ones being longer. They are placed at a greater angle than conventional implants, around 45°. The longer length of the post is intentional to increase the contact area between the implant surface and the bone. This reduces the need to recreate a vertical bone augmentation through bone grafting surgery.
1 – Full denture for lower arch; 2 – X-ray showing 4 dental implants distributed throughout the arch. The two implants in the posterior region are placed at an inclined angle (45°).
As well as increasing the contact area, the use of longer, tilted implants allows them to be placed in a stronger portion of the bone, so that they are securely attached.
Eventually, someone might ask whether this technique would be less efficient than the conventional one, imagining that the load distribution on 4 implants would be greater than 6 pins, for example.
Biomechanical studies show that tilted implants, when they are part of the prosthetic support, have no negative effect on load distribution. Implant tilting has been used in clinical practice for over a decade and has shown favorable results.
Advantages of total prosthesis on All-on-4 implants compared to dentures:
The dental prosthesis is stable because it is attached to the implants. This makes speaking and chewing more comfortable and secure. With a mobile prosthesis, the wearer may feel their prosthesis is unstable.
Dental implants are, in most cases, able to maintain bone volume. In contrast to implant-supported dentures, mobile dentures are unable to prevent bone loss and, as a result, the bone can become thinner and smaller. This is also one of the factors that makes dentures loose due to maladjustment.
The aesthetics of the prosthesis for rehabilitation in undoubtedly much better than a mobile prosthesis. Ceramics, applied zirconia and pure zirconia are advanced technology materials that more faithfully reproduce the characteristics of human teeth, for example, strength, shine, translucency, shades and textures, whereas mobile prostheses are made of acrylic or resin, materials that scratch, fracture and stain more easily.

Computer-guided implants for less invasive surgery and faster recovery
Rehabilitation with All on 4 implants is best performed using computerized planning, better known as guided implant surgery.
Due to the limited bone volume, we perform a CT scan to accurately measure the width and height of the available bone. With this information, it is much easier to choose implants with diameters and lengths appropriate to the volume, as well as to choose the areas with the best conditions for insertion.
Implant surgical guide planning
Once the measurements of the implants have been defined, as well as the positions in which they will be placed, we make a plastic guide that will serve as a surgical template.
Aesthetic oral rehabilitation is a treatment or set of dental procedures aimed at restoring the oral function and aesthetics of a person who is suffering from missing teeth and needs implants, or whose oral function is compromised by other dental problems that affect chewing, speech and the aesthetics of the smile.
Accordingly, depending on the case, single or partial dental implants can be carried out, or so-called total implants with a protocol prosthesis, which are implants for the entire arch. Porcelain crowns or zirconia crowns can be made, designed with modern computerized systems that allow patients to regain their confidence to smile, as well as their chewing function. It is important to note that dental implant surgery is simple, and allows for major transformations in the patient’s life.
Aesthetic oral rehabilitation: which procedures?
In addition, oral rehabilitation also aims to prevent other problems from arising in the future. A complete, better and well-articulated set of teeth will certainly prevent problems with the jaw, mandible and temporomandibular joints.

Digital radiology laboratory
With a digital panoramic X-ray machine and computerized tomography.
Computerized treatment and surgery planning
Exclusive software that plans and simulates various dental treatments. This way, patients know how their treatment will go before they even start it.
Day Clinic
The Day clinic is a type of service that carries out one or more dental treatments intensively. In this way, oral rehabilitation can be achieved in the shortest possible time (subject to assessment of the complexity of each case).
One of the main features of aesthetic oral rehabilitation is the porcelain dental crown
This is a dental reconstruction that aims to cover or encase a tooth that has had its structure compromised, or even after root canal treatment. Teeth with a root canal almost always need a reinforcing post to give the dental crown a better structure. The dental crown can be made from a number of porcelain options currently available.
In some cases, dental crowns can be better made in one day with the CEREC 3D dental prosthesis and crown in our clinic thanks to the technologies in our laboratories. Dental posts (cores) can be metal or aesthetic (zirconia or fiberglass).
Oral rehabilitation with ready-made porcelain lenses
Above all, the ImplArt dental clinic, coordinated by Dr. Markarian, seeks to conduct treatments with clarity, respect and seriousness, so that its patients feel confident, calm and satisfied. So don’t suffer from dental problems.
We understand your fears and expectations, which is why we invest in treatments that are less and less invasive and uncomfortable.

Improve your quality of life and self-esteem with dental implants
Dental implants must be planned by a specialist in order to achieve the desired success. Initially, when studying dental implants, examinations are carried out in order to:
Intraoral examinations to determine current dental conditions. The examinations mainly involve casts to analyze the arch, X-rays and CT scans.
Digital panoramic radiography and computed tomography make it possible to observe general oral conditions and a detailed analysis of the bone and adjacent structures such as nerves, maxillary sinuses and teeth. These examinations can be carried out at ImplArt Odontologia (at a separate cost).
What resources can dentists use to plan implants?
It is important to explain that the dentist uses photos, examinations and clinical assessment in an integrated manner for precise dental implant planning.
Radiographic examinations: Panoramic radiographs and CT scans also offer a three-dimensional view, allowing bone quality to be assessed, anatomical structures to be identified and pathologies to be detected.
Clinical Evaluation: Detailed intraoral examinations reveal more in-depth periodontal conditions, the presence of infections and specific characteristics of the oral tissue, providing crucial information for implant success.
Precise measurements: Using specific measurement software, the professional assesses the thickness and height of the available bone, thus ensuring the proper selection of the implant.
Virtual Planning: Specialized software allows for virtual simulations, making it easier to choose the ideal position for the implants, considering aesthetics and function.
The combination of these elements also allows the dentist to carry out personalized planning, increasing the predictability and success of the dental implant procedure.
Planning is important for successful dental implant treatment
Dental implants are performed in the dentist’s office under local anesthesia, with care and attention from the implant dentist. Even those who are afraid of the dentist can have bone implants without any problem.Titanium implants are placed inside the bone and you have to wait three to six months for osseointeraction (calcification of the implant in the bone).
Once healing has taken place, the patient can wear a temporary prosthesis which allows them to better maintain their daily activities and also prevents the process of bone resorption (when the area is left without teeth for a long time, it can lose bone volume). Also during this period, the dentist makes the molds for the fixed dental prosthesis that will be placed after the implants have osseointegrated.
Temporary prosthesis for dental implants – planning
Despite the initial discomfort due to the implants and also the temporary prosthesis, the patient should wear it most of the time to facilitate adaptation. At first, the patient may feel nauseous, produce more saliva than usual and their pronunciation may also be strange. Of course, any discomfort in the meantime is temporary and must be overcome in order to achieve the best possible result.
However, in some cases, the dentist may opt to carry out the immediate loading procedure, in which the temporary prosthesis is fixed immediately after the implants are placed. This takes a maximum of 72 hours and, like all treatments, must be planned in advance to avoid problems in the future.

Permanent fixed prosthesis for implants
Finally, a permanent prosthesis will be fixed a few months after the implants have healed and the person will experience a significant improvement in chewing, quality of life and the aesthetics of their smile. The materials for the permanent prosthesis can also be chosen by the patient together with the dentist.
There are several options for implant materials, especially in the case of full arches, the so-called protocol prosthesis. Contact our clinic or make an appointment if you have any questions about the treatment, average price or techniques. We’ll be happy to help you!
Computerized dental aesthetics uses computerized programs for digital smile planning that have certainly helped dentistry.They are used to plan and simulate various dental treatments, including implants, dental contact lenses and fixed prostheses. They make it possible to design completely personalized treatments.
Predictable results with digital dental treatment planning
As a result, they increase the patient’s understanding of the stages of their treatment, thus aligning expectations with the proposed treatment, and above all allow the dentist to have greater predictability of results.
With computerized dental treatment planning, the dentist can design crowns, restorations, aesthetic treatments, dental contact lenses as well as plan the placement of dental implants.
The purpose of digital smile planning is to create a personalized treatment, seeking the harmony of the smile, as well as avoiding unnecessary procedures and consequently making treatment faster, more comfortable and more accurate.
Now, with the latest Cerec Primemill milling machine, the results are even more precise and more detailed.
Computerized dental aesthetics (Smile Design)
A great feature of computerized dental treatment planning programs is image overlay. This involves positioning the digital plan over the patient’s photo, making it easier for the patient to understand their treatment before they even start.
Digital smile design begins with capturing the patient’s oral images using an intraoral scanner. These images are transformed into a computerized 3D model of the dental arches.
In this way, the dentist visualizes the initial state and designs crowns, restorations or dental contact lenses to solve various problems that compromise the aesthetics and harmony of the smile.
Intraoral scanning for digital smile planning
Some cases that can be planned on a computer:
Increase in the length or volume of one or more teeth.
Aligning asymmetrical teeth
Making restorations for broken or decayed teeth
Making dental contact lenses
Harmonization of teeth with facial biotype
Even tooth shade
Replacing unsightly restorations with porcelain restorations
The dental treatments planned on the computer also allow for quick dental treatments in the Day Clinic (or Dental Spa – intensive care modality).
Digital smile planning with dental implants
Digital planning of dental implants helps to ensure that the treatment result is tailored to the patient’s needs. It also helps to ensure that the treatment is efficient and as minimally invasive as possible, thus avoiding surgical accidents (such as hitting sensitive structures).
Planning begins with a computerized tomography scan. In this sense, the three-dimensional images of the tomography allow the implant dentist to know details such as the volume and dimensions of the bone in order to determine the best positions for the implants and the choice of implants with dimensions suited to the needs of each patient.
The dentist also has the option of ordering a surgical guide, which is made based on the information from the CT scan. The surgical guide acts as a template, with the exact indications of where the perforations should be made.
As a result, unnecessary cuts and punctures are avoided, meaning treatment is less invasive and recovery is quicker and more comfortable.
At the same time, guided surgery makes it possible:
Prior surgical and prosthetic planning, resulting in a more precise procedure;
Respect for bone structures and the path of nerves and vessels;
A reduction in the indication for bone grafting surgeries, as this requires detailed prior planning of the case;
Planning aesthetic and functional procedures;
Better post-operative recovery;
Better communication between patient and dentist, contributing to greater trust during treatment.
Digital orthodontic treatment planning
Digital orthodontic treatment is fully computer simulated and planned using an intraoral scanner and specialized software. The intraoral scanner is used to capture precise images of the teeth and gums and thus create a three-dimensional color mold of the arches. The software uses these images to simulate the movement of the teeth to the desired position.
Models with the proposed final treatment can be 3D printed for verification if the orthodontist prefers. Digital molds can be used not only to plan orthodontic treatment with conventional braces, but also with braces in the form of aligner plates(Invisalign or Compass).
ImplArt Odontologia uses the main technologies ever developed for computerized dental treatment planning. From intraoral scanning to the execution of prostheses, restorations and aesthetic dental contact lenses on 3D printers.

Orofacial harmonization is a relatively new dental specialty, but it allows the specialized dental surgeon to perform aesthetic and functional procedures on the face and neck.
This specialty has emerged as an artifice to complement orofacial aesthetics, and always combined with dental treatment, it aims to create harmony with the patient’s smile and other facial features.
What is orofacial harmonization?
A dentist specializing in orofacial harmonization is one who is qualified to carry out techniques and procedures to balance aesthetics and oral function, improving some aspects of the patient’s face, but always seeking benefits for their health. The aesthetic and functional procedures of orofacial harmonization bring benefits for a more rejuvenated appearance, above all improving personal self-esteem.
Orofacial harmonization is a dental specialty and is duly regulated by the Federal Council of Dentistry (Resolution 198/2019),
Dentists specializing in orofacial harmonization need to complete a specialization course with a minimum of 500 hours to be recognized.
Here are some of the procedures included in orofacial harmonization:
Bichectomy
What Bichectomy is for
The surgery is mainly indicated to thin the face and improve its shape by reducing the size of the cheeks, but it can also be indicated to reduce trauma in some cases of people who bite their cheeks on the inner mucosa of the mouth. It is an aesthetic procedure that has already been widely adopted by celebrities, but is now much more accessible to everyone.
Orofacial harmonization
Bichectomy surgery
The surgery is performed by a dentist trained in this technique and consists of removing two fatty tissues located on either side of the face between the jaw and the mandible, called Bichat’s balls. First, an anesthetic is applied and then small incisions are made in the oral mucosa (inside of the mouth) to remove the Bichat’s balls with the help of tweezers. Finally, small sutures are made and the patient is given instructions on how to recover after the operation, which should be calm and with little or no pain.
Bichectomy risks: there may be asymmetry in the result, but this is rare and is more likely to happen if performed by professionals who are not trained in this technique.
Value of Bichectomy: procedure values can only be provided after a consultation and evaluation of each case.
Bichectomy cons: the procedure is indicated with great caution, assessing each case and the patient’s needs. In principle, the procedure is not indicated for people undergoing cancer treatment, people with active local infections, pregnant women, people with heart problems or diseases that could compromise coagulation and healing, people with limited mouth opening and minors.
Lip Filling with Hyaluronic Acid
Orofacial harmonization
The lip filler procedure performed with hyaluronic acid is a resource for harmonizing the shape of the lips and making them more proportional to the face. It is indicated for increasing lip volume, improving lip contour or correcting lip asymmetry.
The technique is an alternative for people with very thin lips, or for lips that have become thin, flabby and wrinkled as they age or as a result of smoking. It is also a resource for harmonizing the lips after dental treatment, such as a new dental prosthesis.
Lip fillers how it’s done: the procedure consists of applying a local anesthetic and then applying hyaluronic acid to the inside of the lips using a microcannula or needle. The substance does not cause any side effects or rejection in the body.
The technique is carried out by a dentist specializing in orofacial harmonization to obtain a natural lip filling, without exaggeration and which favours the aesthetics of the smile and face. It is normal for swelling to occur immediately after a lip filling, which can last up to 48 hours after application.
Orofacial harmonization
How long does lip filler last?: The result of a filler is temporary because the hyaluronic acid is slowly absorbed. However, the effect can last up to a year and a half.
Lip filler sp price: the cost of the procedure can only be given during a face-to-face consultation to assess each case.
Contraindications: in principle, minors, pregnant women, active local infections (such as herpes) and people with autoimmune diseases.
Filler for Chinese Moustache (Nasogenian Furrow)
Orofacial harmonization
The Chinese moustache is characterized by a deep wrinkle that runs from the nasal wing to the corner of the mouth (smile mark). It affects both men and women and is associated with skin ageing, in which there is a natural loss of fat and collagen, with unprotected sun exposure which leads to sagging skin and with smoking. It is also related to a genetic predisposition, excessive loss/gain of body weight, as well as repeated sleeping in the prone position with the face resting on the hand.
There are a number of ways to improve the appearance of this expression mark, and the procedure depends on the degree of depth, the main one being filling with hyaluronic acid. This involves applying the biomaterial subcutaneously to the area in order to fill and elevate the depressed line, leveling it with the skin.
What is the Chinese moustache filling procedure like?
The procedure is carried out simply and quickly by a dental surgeon qualified in orofacial harmonization. It is not capable of altering the natural features of the face, only correcting these imperfections. Superficial wrinkles can be treated with botulinum toxin (Botox).
Initially, a local anesthetic is applied. The furrows are then filled with hyaluronic acid. Finally, the patient is given instructions for the post-procedure period, but the recovery is very smooth and the patient is ready to return to work.
How long does a Chinese moustache filler last? The effect of the filler can last up to a year and a half, depending on the amount of material injected and the depth of the furrow.
How much does a Chinese moustache filler cost? The cost of the treatment is only given in consultation after a careful assessment of each case.
Treatment of jowls on the neck (jowl lipo)
Orofacial harmonization
Treatment of jowls with deoxycholic acid
What can I do to get rid of my jowls? This is one of the most frequently asked questions by those looking to improve their appearance and achieve a more rejuvenated look. Reducing jowls (submental fat) is also one of the aesthetic procedures that a dentist specializing in orofacial harmonization is qualified to treat.
The procedure is also known as jowl lipo, enzymatic jowl treatment or lipolysis of submental fat.
How deoxycholic acid works for jowls
Deoxycholic acid is a substance naturally found in the human body and acts to metabolize fats, i.e. it breaks down fat cells (adipocytes), stimulating an inflammatory reaction by the body at the site. This helps to eliminate the broken down fat (a process that should take place over a maximum of 30 days).
With this elimination of fat cells, there is a reduction in fat deposits and an improvement in the contour of the neck, as well as a tightening effect on the skin (not applicable in cases of severe sagging).
What is the chemical lipo procedure like?
Before starting the application, a topical anesthetic is used to eliminate any possible discomfort from the needle prick. We then apply deoxycholic acid in the form of a synthetic drug to the adipose tissue, distributed in small quantities over the entire length of the jowls.
In the first few days, swelling, bruising, pain (which can be controlled with painkillers), erythema (redness) and numbness may occur, but this is normal and is part of the fat elimination process. During this period it is recommended not to take anti-inflammatory drugs, as they prevent the product from working.
Up to six sessions are recommended to obtain a satisfactory result (depending on the degree of fat accumulation), with intervals of one month between each session.
In some cases, treatment can be enhanced with the use of a compression/microporous bandage at night after the fourth day of application, as well as local drainage to help reduce swelling and speed up the elimination of fat.
Duration of jowl treatment: the effect of the treatment does not have a set time, but it is expected that the accumulation of fat in this area will not return, except in cases of excessive weight gain.
Contraindications to deoxycholic acid for jowls: in principle, local infection, pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with cysts at the site of the jowls, goiters or thyroid nodules.
How much does jowl lipo cost? The cost of the treatment is provided through a face-to-face consultation and an assessment of the complexity of each case.
Application of botulinum toxin – botox
Orofacial harmonization
Botox to treat bruxism
Bruxism is a parafunctional disorder that causes people to grind their teeth or clench their teeth involuntarily during sleep. The excessive force of bruxism causes wear and tear on the teeth, pain in the muscles and bones (joints, jaw), as well as ringing in the ears and head and neck pain.
It can also cause clicking in the temporomandibular joints when chewing or opening the mouth and gum recession. Patients with bruxism need to be very well assessed and monitored, and treatment may involve the work of different health specialists.
Botox can also be applied by the dentist for aesthetic improvements to the patient’s lips and face
One of the resources for treating bruxism is the application of botulinum toxin. It acts by inhibiting the contraction of the temporal and masseter muscles in the jaw, thus reducing muscle activity in cases of teeth clenching, and applied to the muscles responsible for masticatory movements (the same ones responsible for the involuntary contraction of bruxism) to contract them and thus reduce teeth grinding.
Botulinum toxin is not normally used in isolation to treat bruxism. It is almost always combined with the use of bite plates(myorelaxing plates) and bite correction, among other procedures.
How is Botox applied for bruxism?
Applications to block the muscles are made in one appointment and the benefits are seen within the first 48 hours. The blockade can last up to six months, so botulinum toxin needs to be periodically reapplied to maintain the effect.
Botox for bruxism price: the price of the treatment is given in consultation with a dentist who will carefully assess each case and recommend the most suitable treatment. A consultation is required to find out the price of Botox. According to the regulations of the Federal Council of Dentistry (Resolution 198/2019), yes, dentists can apply Botox.
In dentistry, the application of botulinum toxin (Botox) is also very useful for correcting asymmetries in the smile or face in the middle and lower thirds, for treating gummy smiles, treating orofacial pain related to TMJ disorders or the muscles involved in chewing, softening expression lines in the middle and lower thirds, and even controlling excessive saliva production.
For those coming from far away, from abroad, or even from other regions of Brazil, it is possible to have an online consultation before you come and plan your dental implant surgery remotely.

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

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

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

Dental implants for all teeth – total or complete
Total dental implants are recommended for people who have lost all their teeth. The loss of all teeth usually occurs due to periodontal disease or a combination of caries and inadequate oral hygiene.
There are strategies for replacing the teeth of an entire arch with a fixed prosthesis (also known as a protocol prosthesis) or a removable prosthesis (overdenture), but fixed prostheses are the most commonly used.
In an all-tooth dental implant treatment, the pins are strategically distributed through the bone of the dental arch in order to provide sufficient support for the planned dental prosthesis.
Due to scientific advances, it is now possible, in selected cases, to go into the office without teeth and leave at the end of the day with all your teeth fixed on dental implants (temporary prosthesis).
The dental implant technique with immediate loading can be performed when bone quantity and quality are normal and also when occlusal habits are favorable for the procedure so that there is no chewing overload on the site.
Therefore, the immediate loading technique depends on certain conditions in the patient’s dental arch and general oral health. These conditions are assessed individually during your consultation with the implant dentist.
Different implant pin models can advance or delay healing and therefore the delivery of the definitive prosthesis. Discover the fastest implants currently available from the Swiss brand Straumann.

Fixed dental prosthesis on implants – types of materials
Implant treatment is the main form of aesthetic and functional rehabilitation for patients who have lost their teeth.
The absence of one or more teeth compromises chewing, speech and the aesthetics of the smile, so a fixed prosthesis on implants is capable of restoring the edentulous person’s security and self-esteem.In summary, rehabilitation basically goes through 3 relevant phases:
Pure porcelain fixed prosthesis for dental implants – Translucent zirconia (metal free)
It is a white ceramic structure called zirconia, covered with an aesthetic porcelain sculpted to the shape of the teeth.
It is therefore a new and technologically innovative material, as the prosthesis is completely designed on a computer and made with the help of electronic scanners and 3D printers. The zirconia fixed prosthesis is the material that offers the best aesthetic result because it does not contain metals in its composition.
Zirconia is a porcelain that has characteristics that are equally comparable to natural teeth, including shade, translucency and resistance.

Metal-ceramic prosthesis on dental implants (porcelain + metal)
This is a prosthesis with an internal metal structure (titanium, Ni-Cr or Cr-Co) and an aesthetic porcelain finish that is hand-sculpted in the shape of the teeth. The result is the strength and aesthetics of porcelain, which leaves the prosthesis with aesthetics and beauty similar to natural teeth.
Although it has a small disadvantage compared to pure porcelain prostheses (which is the possibility of a grayish line appearing at the level of the gums, if the patient suffers some gum recession over time, which can lead to an aesthetic compromise in the smile).
The porcelain prosthesis (ceramic protocol) has advantages over the resin prosthesis, such as better durability and resistance to wear, as well as no color changes over time.
Protocol dentures for all upper and lower teeth – Resin dentures
Also known as the Bränemark protocol prosthesis, this model has an internal metal structure and an aesthetic resin finish. The teeth are made of resin and you can choose the color, shape and size of the teeth.
However, this material has a disadvantage compared to previous ones, which is the possibility of color change (yellowing) over time. The choice of prosthesis material should be made jointly by the dentist and patient.
During the surgery, the patient feels no pain because it is performed under local anesthesia. In addition, ImplArt uses techniques that reduce discomfort during surgery and make the recovery period more peaceful.
ImplArt also uses Piezosurgery surgical ultrasound, which cuts through hard tissues such as bone and preserves soft tissues such as gums, nerves, membranes and blood vessels.
In this way, the system allows the surgeon greater surgical precision and better visibility during surgery, as well as avoiding risks in the dental implant. See more photos of work carried out at ImplArt by clicking here.
The best brands and types of dental implants
There are several brands and models of dental implants available in Brazil, and for each application there is an ideal model. At ImplArt we use certified materials.
Dentistry has come a long way with the use of less invasive techniques to offer patient comfort and, above all, ImplArt has incorporated today’s most effective techniques into its practice to minimize any discomfort.
ImplArt is always in line with the latest developments in the world of dentistry. It uses advanced techniques to ensure that its patients have a quiet, minimally invasive, comfortable and painless surgery.
Get to know our resources and see that it’s worth doing your aesthetic and functional oral rehabilitation with dental implants, without fear.
Humanized treatment with a dental implant specialist and care for those who need teeth implanted
Fears and phobias of dentists usually stem from previous bad experiences. Examples include previous treatments that were poorly carried out, without respect for the patient’s needs or painful treatments.
ImplArt has a great deal of experience in dental implants, as well as dealing with people’s expectations and fears in this regard. Over the years, we have received many people who were terrified of undergoing dental implant surgery, as well as the aftermath.
We are ready to listen to your needs in implant dentistry and oral rehabilitation
At the end of the treatment, benefiting from modern techniques and humanization, it is common to see a reduction in the patient’s phobias and even a cure for the fear ofdentists(odontophobia). We affirm that the advantages of good oral health and an aesthetic smile are well worth it.
ImplArt’s team of dental implant specialists iscommitted to welcoming and understanding all the needs, fears and traumas that people bring with them. Don’t let fear stop you from enjoying the benefits of a fixed prosthesis on implants.
We are ready to help you with your case and restore masticatory function and the aesthetics of your smile!
Computer-guided implants are available at our clinic
Guided dental implant surgery – less invasive and faster
In order to plan the case, the patient undergoes a CT scan. The 3D images from the CT scan, combined with a digital mold of your mouth using an intraoral scanner, are used to make a plastic guide.
This implant with surgical guide acts as a template with the exact indications where the implants should be positioned according to the bone volume.
In this way, unnecessary cuts in the gums are avoided in most cases. This certainly means a lot of comfort for the patient in the post-operative recovery, as well as faster surgery.
Deep sedation for implant surgery
Sedation is a technique indicated for those who are very afraid of the dentist, afraid of feeling pain, as well as the noise of the motor, the needle, blood, etc. It allows the patient’s level of consciousness to decrease during the surgical procedure.
But sedation does not affect the ability to breathe and respond to physical stimulation and verbal commands. An anesthesiologist applies a sedative drug intravenously before the procedure.
The patient then falls asleep, but is continuously accompanied by the doctor and monitoring devices as the surgery takes place. In practice, it’s like a deep, relaxing sleep for the patient.
Most of the time, there are no memories of the procedures. The patient only wakes up when the procedures are finished, and the doctor continues to monitor their recovery until they can walk out of the room.
The sedation procedure with a dental implant specialist becomes simple, as well as comfortable for the patient, because when they wake up all the work has already been done. Read more about sedation.
There is another form of gas sedation (nitrous oxide), which we do not use at ImplArt. In our experience, gas sedation is very superficial and is not effective for patients who are truly “afraid”.
Dental Day Clinic with dental implant specialist – Faster treatments
The Day Clinic or Dental Spa is a type of intensive treatment offered at Implart, a specialist in dental implants. Among other advantages, it is suitable for those who are afraid of dental implants and want a quick dental implant treatment. In a Day Clinic, the patient can arrive at the office without teeth and leave with a dental implant and temporary prosthesis on the same day (in selected and favorable cases).
ImplArt is a modern specialist clinic with a complete structure for this purpose. Digital dentistry techniques, computerized molds and fabrication of teeth, our own laboratory and trained staff speed up treatment.

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

Emax Cad crowns are prostheses used in oral rehabilitation and dental restoration to cover, protect and strengthen teeth that have been extensively damaged by decay or root canal treatment.
Ceramic crowns in Emax Cad
Developed by the German company Ivoclar, the technical name of the Emax material is lithium disilicate and it has the ability to offer high aesthetics and high resistance.
Raw material blocks for Emax CAD computerized dental porcelain
Digital emax crowns guarantee the best aesthetic results
EMAX crown applications
Dental crowns can also be placed on dental implants to replace missing teeth. They can be made from different materials such as temporary resins, but the main one is Emax Cad ceramic. What are the main advantages of the Emax Cad crown?
High resistance and durability;
Very aesthetic look, similar to a natural tooth;
Range of blocks with different colors and types of resistance for different uses;
Minimally invasive restorations;
It can be made using the metal-free technique (no metal in the internal structure). This makes the crown look translucent and much more aesthetic in bright environments.
The digital emax crown is milled by robotic machines in the blue phase, when the material is still soft. The material is then crystallized at over 700 degrees to achieve the final color. On the right, it has received the final polish that guarantees the smoothness of the structure and final pigmentation (even in black light environments).
Emax porcelain crowns in digital dentistry – how are they made?
1 – Intraoral scanner: high-precision color camera that makes digital molds of the patient’s teeth and sends them to the computer.
2 – Computer and software: receives the information captured by the intraoral scanner and carries out simulation and personalized treatment planning using 3D images.
3 – Machining bay: robots mill the Emax Cad ceramic block based on the computerized design until the shape of the crown is achieved. The result is a piece that is strictly compatible with the patient’s needs.
ImplArt has the most up-to-date version of the Cerec system milling machine. This German technology allows us to produce metal-free crowns, restorations and dental lenses much faster and with greater detail.
Complete oral rehabilitation of the lower arch using emax computerized porcelain
When the milling is complete, the piece undergoes a sintering process at approximately 850°C and acquires high strength, shade and translucency. The CEREC 3D system certainly speeds up treatment, even allowing it to be carried out and finalized in Day Clinic planning.
With it, it is possible to make crowns and restorations that are very precise and customized to the needs of each case. Contact us and make an appointment to find out if your case could benefit from this technique.
We often receive messages from people wanting to know the price of dentures, especially fixed dentures on dental implants. We would like to answer this question quickly, but we try to explain that these questions can only be answered in person after a dental consultation.
Let’s go. It’s important to note that dental prosthesis prices can vary depending on the type of prosthesis, the complexity of the case and the materials used. In addition, the placement of a fixed prosthesis on dental implants also requires a careful assessment of the patient. It is therefore necessary to make an appointment for a dental consultation so that a professional can analyze your specific case and provide an accurate quote. Remember that oral health is fundamental and investing in a suitable prosthesis can benefit your quality of life.

Price and value of dentures
Firstly, it is necessary to have a consultation with the dentist, either in the office or via TeleOdontology.Secondly, dental treatment can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient.
There are many variables that influence the planning of a treatment. In the same way, there are several options for materials and techniques that impact on the composition of a budget. What’s more, a treatment that may be suitable for one person may not be the most appropriate for another.
Thirdly, it is primarily important that the person is assessed by a specialist dentist. Often the patient thinks they have a dental problem and believes that a particular treatment may be the solution, but in the professional view the most appropriate treatment may be something else.
The dental surgeon is qualified and trained to look at oral health in general. They also provide guidance and recommend the necessary procedures to keep teeth beautiful and healthy throughout life.
We at ImplArt believe that dental treatment goes far beyond a simple monetary value
There are important factors that influence acost-benefit ratio, such as the health and well-being that healthy teeth provide. In addition, there are other immeasurable aspects: the improvement in self-esteem, the patient’s comfort from the beginning to the end of treatment, the relationship of trust between patient and dentist, the professional’s empathy with the patient’s feelings…
Patients often bring with them anxieties, expectations, fear of the dentist, as well as trauma from previous negative experiences.So how much do you think a smile is worth?

The topic of implantswith immediate loading has always been very present when it comes to dental implants. The term is related to pressure, i.e. loading on the newly installed implant, therefore immediately after surgery. It is important to note that the decision on whether or not to perform immediate loading on the implant should be made by the implant dentist. Assuming that this is the main desire of all patients, it is the implant dentist who must certainly assess the conditions conducive to the use of this technique.
Currently, implant surgery is studied beforehand by the implant dentist (dental implant specialist) through the patient’s panoramic X-ray and CT scan. It is therefore possible to assess whether the patient has favorable bone conditions for the use of this technique. However, it is at the time of implant surgery, by locking the implant, that it is possible to guarantee that the immediate loading technique can be carried out. In this way, the professional can also change the technique used to make the prosthesis if the necessary implants are not locked during surgery. Although the bone structure is studied beforehand through examinations, it is only during surgery that the real bone situation can be gauged.
How is immediate loading surgery with dental implants performed?
Surgery is performed to install dental implants in the jawbone. The surgery should take place like a conventional dental implant surgery. Prior to the surgery, plans are made for an immediate temporary prosthesis, so that the patient will never be without teeth. There are prerequisites for using the installed implant:
Immediate loading means that the implant will be loaded with the crown as soon as it is inserted. In practice, loading occurs with the placement of the tooth, which will transmit the force of chewing through the implant to the bone.
This means that not all cases are good for immediate loading. Sometimes, only during implant installation will we be able to tell if the implant has met the requirements for immediate loading. Therefore, in some cases immediate loading can be aborted to allow the implant to heal in a conventional way (between 3 and 6 months).
If the surgery goes well, you can then start on the provisional or even definitive prosthesis, which requires molds and measurements of the arch. Immediate loading is usually carried out with a temporary prosthesis and, after the implants and gums have healed (between 3 and 6 months), the definitive prosthesis is made. Watch the video below where we show the total implant surgery and the installation of the protocol prosthesis.
Although it is possible to carry out the treatment with the definitive material initially, we consider it better to make a temporary prosthesis, as the gums must swell and the bone changes shape during the initial three months of healing after surgery.
Best material for fixed prostheses
Currently, the most modern material for fixed prostheses is zirconia. Zirconia is a biocompatible material in line with the biological dentistry trend, which seeks to avoid the use of metals in dental treatments. It is also highly resistant and can be designed using computer graphics, which gives a much more natural aesthetic result compared to other types of dental prosthesis materials.
