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.

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.

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.

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%.

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.

Laser teeth whitening – Day Clinic

Laser teeth whitening is a treatment often used in our Dayclinic cases because it greatly improves the appearance of the teeth and is quick to perform. Teeth whitening can be used in conjunction with other aesthetic treatments such as cosmetic dental lenses. It can also be used in rehabilitative treatments with dental crowns and even dental implants, where fixed dental prostheses will be required, and the tone of the smile can be modified as a whole at this point.

Laser teeth whitening is one of the aesthetic procedures that ImplArt Odontologia can perform in its Day Clinic

Over time, some of our habits can leave our teeth yellowed or stained. Ingesting highly pigmented foods or drinks, such as coffee, wine, beet, açaí, among others, can stain teeth.

Smoking is also one of the enemies of white teeth, as nicotine also stains teeth. In addition, poor brushing – which would be a better way of removing food pigments from the teeth – can also lead to the accumulation of plaque on the teeth, which makes them look yellow.

A beautiful, uniform smile makes up dental aesthetics, while yellowed and stained teeth can affect a person’s self-esteem.

A naturally whiter smile, like the ones seen on celebrities, is a common desire. The best part is that this dream is possible, thanks to the laser teeth whitening procedure, which is certainly a great ally for dental aesthetics.

How does laser teeth whitening work?

ImplArt Odontologia uses the most modern laser whitening techniques safely and efficiently. The best whitening is done with the combination of hydrogen peroxide-based gel and the laser light that activates the gel.

The procedure safely and effectively removes pigments and stains from tooth enamel and dentin. Some people need more than one session and this will be determined after an assessment of each case.

Indications for whitening

Laser teeth whitening treatment is suitable for most people who are bothered by yellow or stained teeth.

There are even techniques for children over the age of 10. The indication is made after a thorough assessment of the general condition of the patient’s mouth (teeth, gums, tongue and mucous membranes) by the ImplArt professional.

Advantages of laser whitening?

  • Faster results than home whitening
  • Causes no or little tooth sensitivity

Day Clinic ImplArt

ImplArt Odontologia performs laser teeth whitening with the agility and convenience of a Day Clinic.

This type of service is ideal for people who want to have a more beautiful smile, whether for an upcoming event, such as a wedding, or even to give their look a boost, but who don’t have the time because of too many commitments in their daily lives, or for those who are in São Paulo for a short trip.

ImplArt’s high-tech structure and specialized team allow your treatment to be planned according to your needs and available time.

Whether this treatment can be carried out in a Day Clinic depends on an assessment of each case.

Immediate loading for dental implants – indications

Immediately loaded dental implants are a technique in which the procedure of placing a dental implant and fixed prosthesis is carried out more quickly. In this way, it helps patients regain their self-esteem and their smile without the need to visit the dentist’s office several times. Immediate loading means placing a prosthesis – usually temporary – on the implants immediately after surgery.

Here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic we perform implants with immediate loading. However, each case is assessed on its own merits to see if it is the most appropriate and safest way to ensure the success of each treatment. See more information below.

Learn more about the technique – indications

But can it be done in all cases?

The answer is no. The possibility of an immediately loaded implant depends on fulfilling pre-requisites that can only be ascertained at the time of implant insertion. In addition to checking all the preoperative X-rays and CT scans, there are factors related to the surgery itself. Thus, the final torque of the implant at the time of bone insertion must be verified. It must therefore be checked after the implant has been installed.

In addition, it is important to note that the ideal is always to wait for the dental implant to heal before loading it. The making of a final prosthesis certainly involves aesthetic and functional studies, which have their own timeframe for preparation and testing by the patient. Therefore, if immediate loading is possible, it should ideally only involve a temporary prosthesis. In this way, the final prosthesis can be made with the implants already healed, and the aesthetics and functionality can be studied in depth, without putting the newly inserted implants at risk.

Immediately loaded implants – indications

The dental implant technique with immediate loading can be carried out when bone quantity and quality are normal and also when occlusal habits are favorable for the procedure so that there is no overload from chewing on the site.

Therefore, technique depends on certain conditions in the patient’s dental arch and general oral health. These conditions are assessed individually during a consultation here at the ImplArt Clinic.

What if it can’t be done?

If the technique is not possible, the dentist will look for another solution for the patient’s temporary prosthesis:

  • Adhesive prosthesis
  • Removable prostheses (mobile prosthesis)
  • Reinstatement of the old prosthesis (temporary refitting)
  • Fixed prosthesis on neighboring teeth
  • Devices to disguise the aesthetics of the area
  • Braces with a stuck tooth

Para permitir a carga imediata de implantes dentários temos que inserir implantes longos, que devem ficar bem travados no osso do maxilar.

Rapidly loaded dental implant: provisional prosthesis installed

The immediate loading dental implant technique can therefore be indicated for the following cases:

  • People with a completely missing lower arch,
  • Full arch with a few teeth,
  • Single or individual teeth in the anterior region of the mouth,
  • In some cases, dentures are fixed on some continuous teeth,

In all cases and situations, first and foremost the best course of action is to consult an implant dentist and carry out a full assessment to determine what and how will be done. Only this assessment can determine whether an immediately loaded dental implant is indicated or whether another rehabilitation procedure would bring a better result. In any case, implants are a great way to replace teeth, see before and after cases with dental implants.

Below is a video showing how total implant surgery is performed with a fixed prosthesis on implants, the protocol prosthesis.

Contact lenses for teeth

Dental contact lenses in São Paulo to improve the aesthetics of your smile

Contact lenses for teeth are ultra-thin porcelain veneers (0.3 to 0.7 mm) used to correct certain aesthetic problems in the teeth. They work like “covers” or ceramic fragments, which are bonded to one or more teeth to better cover stains, small fractures and other defects, as well as to change the shape and size of teeth. Dental contact lens treatment is often used to beautify the smiles of famous people.

At the ImplArt Clinic, dental contact lenses are completely designed on computer and then better executed in dental porcelain by milling machines (3D printers) in our digital laboratory. This method is far superior to the traditional manual method of working with dental porcelain. Dental porcelain is a vitreous ceramic material (lithium disilicate) that is very resistant and mainly imitates the texture and shades of natural teeth.

It is therefore an aesthetic material, safe and totally biocompatible with the human body. The computerized design is based on images obtained by an intraoral scanner – a high-precision camera available at ImplArt Odontologia.

Do contact lenses work?

In this way, dental contact lenses have a shape, color and texture comparable to natural teeth, even imitating the characteristics of neighboring teeth. Because they are ultra-thin, their installation requires little or no wear on the natural teeth. Indications for dental contact lenses:

  • Covering teeth stains
  • Change in the shape of the teeth
  • Change in tooth color
  • Enlargement of small teeth
  • Aligning crowdedteeth
  • Covering small fractures
  • Uniformization of uneven and asymmetrical teeth

Advantages of dental 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.

At ImplArt Odontologia, a specialized clinic, we make dental contact lenses with work that is precise and personalized for each patient. This is only possible because we have a prosthetic laboratory on our premises, and the best CAD/CAM-based technologies, from the computerized design of the treatment to the execution of the dental contact lenses.

In most cases it can be done quickly by Dayclinic. Ask about fast dental lenses at Dayclinic. If you have any questions about the price of lenses, forms of payment, planning, and a better approximate value or treatment time, then please contact us.

At-home or in-office teeth whitening?

With the teeth whitening technique, you can achieve a more beautiful smile and get rid of discomfort. Teeth whitening is an ideal option for looking after your dental aesthetics and keeping your oral health up to date.

Many people are embarrassed to take photos, smile or even talk because of their teeth. Yellowing and stains on the teeth cause discomfort and discomfort.

Laser teeth whitening technique

Procedure improves smile presentation and self-esteem

Teeth whitening is a process that removes pigments and stains from tooth enamel and dentin using a special gel enhanced by laser light. Because the treatment is simple, most people can undergo it, and there are even techniques for children as young as 10.

However, in order to better define how whitening will be carried out, the dentist needs to assess each patient individually, looking at details such as the cause of the darkening, age and the integrity and shade of the teeth. However, older age and grayer stains make the process more difficult.

In which cases can the laser teeth whitening technique be used?

Before starting laser whitening, the person needs to undergo a better assessment of the oral tissues, taking into account the teeth, gums, tongue and internal mucosa. As each case is different, there is no whitening standard. In principle, teeth that are yellowed, brown, evenly darkened or with black, brown and yellow stains (as a result of drinking tea, coffee, cigarettes and plaque build-up) are more easily removed.

On the other hand, in cases where teeth are blue in color, have streaks caused by antibiotics or irregular stains, the whitening process is likely to be more difficult. In short, the worst cases are teeth with old endodontic problems and very dark stains. Dentures and restorations are not whitened with this technique.

In addition to the laser whitening technique, home whitening is a better option for those who don’t want to go to the dentist for sessions. It can be done by the patient themselves using a special gel and trays. Learn more about the technique below.

Home teeth whitening technique

Home teeth whitening done by the patient themselves is gaining a lot of followers due to its convenience and practicality, since the person doesn’t need to go to the dentist’s office to have the procedure done. However, it’s worth noting that, even if it’s done at home, the teeth whitening technique can only be recommended by a dentist after an assessment of the patient in consultation.

The technique is indicated for people who want to take care of their dental aesthetics and have stained teeth, yellowish pigmentation or who suffer from old endodontic problems. However, before starting whitening, oral health is assessed, as it must be up to date, with no sores, bleeding, cavities or tartar.

To whiten teeth at home, the patient uses a carbamide peroxide gel with a carbopol concentration of 10%, 16% or 22%. Flexible trays are then used to deposit the gel, which are then fitted to the teeth to start the treatment.

Duration of Whitening Treatment

The home procedure takes between 1 and 3 weeks to complete. The gel can be used in one session lasting 3 to 4 hours. Another option is two short sessions of 30 minutes to 1 hour. Although this technique takes longer to show results than laser whitening, it is considered less aggressive to the patient, as faster treatments can cause temporary side effects.

In addition, the professional must monitor whether the technique is being carried out correctly and, finally, whether the steps are being followed. If you have any questions, please contact us through one of the channels below or book an appointment with us.

There is also teeth whitening that combines both techniques, laser whitening and home whitening.

The combined whitening technique works very well and is considered better than the two others individually. You’ll also like to know about it:

Dental contact lenses – Day Clinic

The application of dental contact lenses is a modern technique that primarily serves to correct aesthetic problems in the teeth, making them more beautiful and uniform. This is one of the dental aesthetic procedures that the ImplArt dental clinic can carry out with more agility in Day Clinic service for patients who come from other states or even abroad.

What are dental contact lenses?

Dental contact lenses are very thin sheets of porcelain (only 0.2 mm thick) used to correct certain aesthetic problems with the teeth, such as stains, chips, exaggerated gaps between teeth (diastemas), very short teeth, asymmetrical teeth, among others.Dental contact lenses are therefore custom-designed on a computer and manufactured on 3D printers. They are made from computerized Emax porcelain, which is why they can be called Porcelain Lenses.

Porcelain is a biosecure material with visual characteristics very similar to natural teeth. Ultra-thin dental contact lenses are different from ordinary veneers, as they require less or no wear on the teeth to be applied. Other advantages of contact lenses at Day Clinic:

  • Completely painless procedure
  • Possibility of changing the shape, size and color of teeth
  • Preserves tooth structure
  • The lenses do not cause any discomfort to the chewing function
  • Long durability
  • There is no color change in porcelain over the years
  • Incredibly natural and harmonious result
  • Computerized planning allows for more precise, personalized and faster treatment.

How are dental contact lenses applied at the Day Clinic?

  • 1 – ImplArt’s specialized professional takes a digital mold of the teeth using intraoral scanners.
  • 2 – The result is then digitally simulated using software so that it can be presented to and approved by the patient;
  • 3 – The approved model is then sent to the laboratory to have the ultra-thin, highly durable porcelain dental contact lens made. The lens is made using 3D printers, which guarantee the quality of the work;
  • 4 – The dentist glues the dental contact lens with specific adhesive material to the front of the previously prepared tooth.

The Day Clinic service is a great option for people who want or need to solve aesthetic problems with their teeth in just a few days, such as during a quick trip to São Paulo or due to the proximity of an important event.

In less complex cases, the ImplArt dental clinic applies dental contact lenses with all the convenience of Day Clinic planning. Normally, this whole process takes between 7 and 30 days, but with ImplArt’s Day Clinic planning, this time can be reduced. The application of this technique, as well as the shortened time frame, depends on a clinical analysis to verify feasibility and ensure a good indication.

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.

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.

lentes de contato dentais 50kb
Ready-made dental contact lenses for the front teeth (8 teeth) made on a 3D printer.

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.

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

  • Porcelain doesn’t change color over the years
  • Incredibly natural and harmonious result

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.

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!

Aesthetic Dental Treatments

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

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

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

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

Naturalness of dental contact lenses

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

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

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

Porcelain dental crowns for aesthetic purposes

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

Aesthetic restorations

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

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

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

The resin is then hardened with special ultraviolet light.

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

My time in the city, about a week, was enough for a definitive treatment to be completed.I was very pleased with the speed of treatment and the quality of the ImplArt dental spa. I recommend it!” – C.A.S. Manaus

As I have known ImplArt for some time, I told them in advance that I was coming to São Paulo, as I visit my family periodically. I was asked to send tests in advance, which I promptly did by email. I was impressed by how useful technology can be even for a dental spa treatment.I loved the treatment I received, as the dentists here in England are very cold and the prices are much higher” – R.A. England

Dr. Roberto performed my surgery with great skill and mastery. I felt NO PAIN or discomfort. My recovery was excellent and now I’m going to start the final stage of my treatment.I chose the zirconia crown by scanner, because it’s quick, since I have to finish my treatment soon for a trip.” – A.C.

I found Implart through a Google search. I was looking for a clinic in São Paulo that would serve me with quality and speed, as I live in Miami.
