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

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

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

But after all, who is considered elderly these days?

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

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

The Elderly and the Search for Quality of Life

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

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

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

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

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

Factors Evaluated Before Dental Implant Procedures in the Elderly:

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

The Benefits of Dental Implants in the Elderly

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

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

Computerized metal-free porcelain crown

The metal-free porcelain crown provides aesthetics combined with strength and durability

What is a porcelain crown?

A porcelain crown is an artificial tooth – a dental prosthesis – that resembles in form and function a natural tooth that has been damaged. Porcelain crowns can also be grouped together to make fixed bridges or fixed porcelain prostheses. Here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic in Brazil, we make metal-free crowns using completely computerized systems. We therefore offer our patients the most modern systems and the most advanced results.

What is dental porcelain?

Porcelain is a material that resembles glass and is used to reconstruct teeth. It has a natural color and high resistance. It is also called dental ceramic.

Types and materials of porcelain crowns

In short, there are different types of materials used to make porcelain crowns: the older materials use metal and the more modern ones are metal-free. Porcelain crowns with metal internal structures are called metal-ceramic and crowns with a white structure such as zirconia are called metal-free.

There are also crowns that do not use internal structures and are made using computerized methods. In addition, covering a destroyed natural tooth with a ceramic crown is essential for oral health, as it will restore the patient’s chewing ability and even allow them to eat hard foods.

The advantage of the metal-free porcelain crown is that it is more aesthetic, since pure porcelain is a white material. As a result, the structure is not visible inside the crown even in brightly lit environments. The new generations of porcelain crowns are made using cad/cam methods according to computerized designs and don’t even require layers of internal reinforcement like metal and zirconia. They are made from a single (monolithic) material. These are digital, metal-free porcelain crowns whose main advantages are aesthetics and speed of production.

Translucent zirconia

Another innovative material for making a new porcelain crown is translucent zirconia, a material that is up to 10 x stronger than ordinary porcelain crowns. For this reason, they are highly recommended for the oral rehabilitation of back teeth and in patients with bruxism. Oral rehabilitation with crowns can be carried out on implants, on roots with root canal treatment and on natural teeth without root canal treatment.

dental implants in the elderly

Fitting dental crowns requires preparation (tooth wear) so that the crown fits correctly. The main digital technique we use is Cerec 3D, an intraoral molding system with scanners and robotic tooth production.

Before a permanent prosthesis is made, we will make a temporary prosthesis so that you don’t lose your tooth. After the rehabilitation treatment, you will be able to lead a normal life, eat hard food and clean your teeth every day with a toothbrush and dental floss. The ImplArt Clinic specializes in dental prostheses and can offer you a porcelain crown with state-of-the-art technology.

Porcelain crown: advantages and indications

Porcelain crowns are fixed dental prostheses that mimic the shape and appearance of natural teeth. When a tooth is badly damaged, it may be necessary to have root canal treatment and a porcelain crown. By Dr. Roberto Markarian, graduated dentist and specialist in dental prostheses and dental implants in São Paulo, Brazil.

What is dental porcelain?

Choosing the ideal dental prosthesis can lead to confusion when faced with a number of options. Fixed dental prostheses must meet both functional and aesthetic needs. These are the main objectives that determine the choice of the ideal material. Before choosing the material, it is first necessary to understand the differences between the types of porcelain dental crowns. The main one is the reinforcement technique, which is the part required for masticatory efforts. Understand the differences better:

Metal-ceramic crown

The porcelain dental crown is built on a metal structure. It is durable and aesthetic, and can be used on both anterior and posterior teeth. However, in some cases, it may not achieve the best aesthetic result on anterior teeth, because the dark metal inside the prosthesis can leave the crown looking darkened when subjected to intense lighting.

Porcelain crown with metal-free zirconia

This is a porcelain crown mounted on a white zirconia structure, which is therefore metal-free. It is highly durable and has excellent aesthetic results, as the white zirconia of the internal structure leaves the crown with a natural appearance very similar to the natural tooth. The porcelain crown with zirconia can also be fixed on dental implants and is completely computer-engineered and made on a 3D tooth printer. It is also an indication for people with metal allergies.

Pure porcelain crown

It has excellent aesthetic results and great resistance. The material used is lithium disilicate or feldspathic ceramic. Because this ceramic is very translucent, it is not normally suitable for use on darkened teeth or on metal posts.

How much does a porcelain crown cost?

Treatment prices can only be given after a face-to-face dental consultation. This is because the patient needs to be thoroughly assessed so that our team can understand their functional and aesthetic needs. Only then can we recommend the most appropriate treatment. In many cases, our team will offer a number of treatment options and respective outcome expectations, and the patient is free to choose.

Porcelain crowns can be made quickly in our clinic using our Day Clinic method for porcelain crowns. At the end of the porcelain crown treatment, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by flossing daily and brushing regularly.

If you are far away, it is possible to have an online consultation, also known as a teleconsultation. This preliminary consultation takes place with our clinical director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, who will be able to make a preliminary assessment of your case and make recommendations for your treatment. This also applies to those who need dental implants, as we can plan your dental implant surgery remotely.

Specialist clinic – Prosthodontics

Dr. Roberto Markarian is a specialist in dental Prosthodontics and director of Clinica Dentaria ImplArt

Losing your teeth is certainly one of the most traumatic experiences for a person, affecting your quality of life and self-esteem. That’s why you should know that it’s possible to rehabilitate your smile with modern dental prosthesis options. Tooth loss occurs due to a number of factors, the most common being accidents, tooth decay or advanced periodontal disease. The ImplArt Dental Clinic is a renowned dental clinic that offers modern treatments to patients looking for high technology. So if you’re looking for knowledge combined with high technology, you’re in the right place!

Dentures, along with dentalimplants, are here to make up for missing teeth and thus restore the self-esteem and quality of life of those who have lost one or more teeth. Over the years, dental prostheses have undergone many changes and today they are practically indistinguishable from natural human teeth. Today, there are several types of dental prosthesis with different materials. These present different aesthetic results and have computerized or conventional designs. This applies to both dental implants and fixed prostheses, the protocol prosthesis. To illustrate the different materials, we have the modern computerized translucent zirconia crowns and the Zirconia Protocol Prosthesis on a total implant.

In-house Dental Laboratory Prosthodontics

Clinica Dentaria ImplArt ‘s digital dental laboratory uses imported systems such as Cerec, from Prosthodontics Germany’s Sirona, the Ceramill Motion 2 milling machine, from Austria’s Amann Girrbach, and the Trios System, from Denmark’s 3Shape. These are three of the leading companies in the research and development of digital dentistry solutions.

New dental prostheses designed in 3D

Nowadays, prostheses can even be computer-designed and personalized for each patient. The shape, color and texture can be chosen even before they are made! This applies to the different types of dental prosthesis: fixed or mobile (dentures), full or partial, single crown, with or without a layer of artificial gum, on teeth or implants, porcelain or resin veneers, metal or metal-free zirconia internal structure, aesthetic dental posts (cores), restorations, dental contact lenses.

A new material for fixed prostheses is a type of reinforced plastic called PEEK. Extremely biocompatible and resistant, it can replace metal in fixed or mobile dental prosthesis structures, thus making the prosthesis lighter and more comfortable.
Dentures are certainly a chance to transform your self-esteem, health and well-being.

Why is it necessary to place a post and core to make a dental crown?

The post and core is an important part for installing a prosthetic crown to replace a tooth that has been badly destroyed, usually as a result of decay or fractures. In cases where it is possible to preserve the root with root canal treatment, the core is installed inside the root to support the prosthetic crown.

The core is the internal reinforcement part of a dental crown

This is an important stage in providing support and strength to the porcelain dental crown. See more about dental core materials. If the crown were installed without a core, the prosthesis would probably not be able to withstand the masticatory effort and consequently its duration would be shorter.

See also this article on our blog which talks a little more about root canal treatment, core and porcelain crown. Today, the reinforcement core (dental post) can be made from various types of materials: from metal to zirconia, fiberglass and carbon fiber.

The choice of material depends on a number of factors, such as the location in the dental arch and the masticatory load that the crown will be subjected to.

The metal core is considered more resistant (especially suitable for the most hidden and used area of the arch), while zirconia is considered more aesthetic because it is white (suitable for the most visible area, i.e. the front of the arch).

The prosthetic crown can be made from two different materials: resin (plastic with a metal core) or porcelain (with a metal or aesthetic core). Porcelain is more resistant and aesthetic than resin.

Learn more about computer-designed crowns.

How treatment is carried out:

  • In some cases, root canal treatment is performed to preserve the root;
  • The root and tooth are prepared to receive the core;
  • When made of metal, the impression is taken directly inside the root;
  • When in zirconia, the post is cemented into the root;
  • A core mold is taken to prepare the prosthetic crown. At ImplArt, this mold can be made conventionally (with putty) or digitally using intraoral scanners;
  • The crown is installed on the core;
  • The duration of the procedure varies, as it depends on the complexity of each case. For some people it can be carried out in a Day Clinic.

Advantages of the technique:

  • The dental crown restores chewing ability as well as the aesthetics of the smile;
  • The appearance of this type of prosthesis is very similar to natural teeth, so it is indistinguishable when fitted;
  • Your smile will be beautiful and complete again, free of unsightly spots such as cavities, metal restorations, absences, etc;
  • The roots are protected and healthy;

Why is it necessary to place a post and core to make a dental crown?

Dentures are very durable, but they may need to be replaced after a few years. This need is verified during regular visits to the dentist’s office.

In cases where teeth are weakened and it is no longer possible to rebuild the tooth with a crown, dental implants are recommended. If you have any questions, please make an appointment or contact us. We’ll be happy to help you.
