Perfect Smile with Aligners or Braces and Dental Implants

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

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

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

Why Integrate Braces and Implants?

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

1. Braces and Implants: Correct Replacement of Lost Teeth

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

2. Braces and Implants: Preventing Bone Loss

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

3. Braces and implants: Bite correction and chewing function

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

4. Braces and implants: Aesthetics and confidence restored

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

The Role of Invisalign in Preparing for Dental Implants

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

Advantages of Invisalign for Integration with Implants

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

Dr. Roberto Markarian is a reference in dental implants and computerized dental prostheses in Brazil. As well as having more than 10,000 implants installed, he is a researcher who produces knowledge that is published worldwide in renowned scientific journals in the field of dentistry. He is responsible for promoting knowledge and high technology applied in all the treatments offered by the ImplArt Dental Clinic.

Root Canal or Dental Implant treatment?

When faced with serious dental problems, such as infections or severe decay of a tooth, the question arises: should you opt for root canal or dental implant treatment? According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist and director of the ImplArt Clinic, the choice depends on a careful evaluation, considering factors such as the integrity of the tooth, general oral health and the technological options available.

The good news is that there are resources that allow you to visualize the dental situation beforehand and thus guide the initial course of action to be adopted. Even so, it’s important to bear in mind that the treatment may be altered if, during the process, a root fracture or more severe dental impairment than initially anticipated is identified.

Root canal or dental implant? When root canal treatment is the best option

Root canal treatment is indicated when the pulp of the tooth has been compromised but its structure can still be preserved. This procedure is ideal for eliminating infection, restoring functionality and maintaining the natural tooth. According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, preserving the natural tooth whenever possible offers important advantages:

  • Dental Proprioception: Natural teeth have periodontal ligaments that allow them to feel chewing forces, something that is lost when using implants.
  • Maintaining Gingival Anatomy: Preserving the tooth helps to maintain the aesthetic harmony of the surrounding gums, facilitating a more natural restoration.
  • Possibility of placing crowns: After a successful root canal treatment , the tooth can receive a high-quality crown, guaranteeing functionality and aesthetics.
root canal or dental implant treatment

Is it possible to be 100% sure about saving a tooth with an X-ray alone?

Some of the most common questions patients ask when deciding between root canal treatment or dental implants are: can you be absolutely sure that the tooth will be saved just by looking at the X-ray? Or even: is it possible to know for sure whether or not the tooth needs root canal treatment just by looking at the X-ray?

According to Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist and director of the ImplArt Clinic, dentistry is not an exact science and, as in any area of health, it is not possible to offer 100% guarantees on results because we are talking about an organism. Although radiography is an essential tool for diagnosis, allowing the professional to assess the integrity of the root, the presence of infections and other structural conditions, it does not reveal all the details of the case. Microscopic fractures or conditions that are not visible on the scan can influence the success of the treatment and require the specialist to change their approach.

Our mission as health professionals is to use the best available resources, such as advanced imaging exams and modern techniques, to offer the best possible prognosis,” says Dr. Markarian. At the ImplArt Clinic, we combine clinical experience with cutting-edge technologies to increase the chances of success in every procedure, whether it’s root canal treatment or the placement of dental implants.

Professional experience makes a difference when it comes to root canal treatment or dental implants

Of course, the dentist’s experience and knowledge are fundamental. In addition to radiographic analysis, it is necessary to clinically assess the tooth, the extent of the damage, possible hidden fractures, and the health of the surrounding tissue.“Our commitment is to act responsibly and offer the best alternatives available to preserve the tooth whenever possible, with a focus on long-lasting, high-quality results,” adds Dr. Markarian. Therefore, if there is a possibility of preserving the tooth, root canal treatment is the first option. Only secondly, if it is not possible to keep it, or even if irreversible damage to the tooth is identified, do we opt for extraction and a dental implant in the same surgery.

Watch the video below where Dr. Roberto Markarian talks about the benefits of extracting a tooth and placing an implant on the same day.

YouTube video player

This approach demonstrates the importance of relying on a specialized professional, using the best practices and technologies to guarantee the most effective treatment for each patient, whether for root canal treatment or dental implants.

Is root canal treatment 100% guaranteed?

We know that root canal treatment is the last resort to save a tooth and therefore there is always a chance of failure. We must remember that although it is possible to evaluate radiographic examinations, we are talking about a health treatment whose planning may change over the course of the treatment and the next step is extraction followed by a dental implant.

See the image below for an example of a particular case in which the X-ray alone could have led to uncertainty about the diagnosis. However, the combination of the clinical assessment(swelling, pus), the patient’s report ( pain after accidentally biting a bone) and the X-ray made it possible to identify that there was a fracture in the area, culminating in the indication of simultaneous extraction and dental implantation.

dental fracture
Photo shows a tooth that was removed because it had a crack. Radiographically, the case could be mistaken for a root canal, but root canal treatment would not solve the problem because bacteria would be lodged in the cracked area.

Can I insist on a root canal?: Cases where a root canal doesn’t solve the problem

Root canal or dental implant? Even with technological advances, there are situations in which root canal treatment or retreatment doesn’t solve the problem. Root fractures, for example, can make the tooth unfeasible, making it necessary to remove it and consider alternatives such as dental implants.

Therefore, in the vast majority of cases it is not a choice between root canal treatment or dental implants, but a necessity. That’s why it’s essential to trust the professional in charge of the treatment, so that he or she can be sure of the best course of action.

Biological dentistry and root canal treatment

The current trend of biological dentistry, which is very widespread today, does not recommend root canal treatments on the grounds of toxicity. However, this claim still lacks scientific proof. Studies show that treatment, when carried out with biocompatible materials and modern techniques, is safe. At the ImplArt Clinic, we use the best practices to offer safe, long-lasting results and we value the patient’s well-being.

When Dental Implants Are Necessary

In cases where the tooth cannot be saved, dental implants are the definitive solution. The ImplArt Dental Clinic is a pioneer in technologies such as the use of zirconia prostheses and digital implant planning, detailed on our advanced dental implants page.

However, according to Dr. Roberto Markarian, “the implant, no matter how good, will never be superior to the natural tooth in terms of biology and functionality.” Some considerations about implants include:

  • Loss of Proprioception: Implants have no periodontal ligaments, eliminating the ability to perceive masticatory forces.
  • Need for Aesthetic Planning: To achieve optimal results, careful planning of the gingival anatomy around the implant is necessary

Therefore, whenever possible, the ImplArt Clinic chooses to preserve the tooth. Dental implants are only indicated when there are no other alternatives to save a severely compromised tooth.

Painless Dental Implants: Technology Makes Your Implant Surgery More Comfortable

For many people, fear of pain is one of the main reasons they put off dental treatments such as dental implants. However, with the latest technological advances, procedures have become much more comfortable, safer and faster, allowing painless dental implants surgery. Today, with methods such as digital planning using 3D tomography and computer-guided surgery, pain is no longer an obstacle for those looking to restore their smile. In this article, you will understand how these innovations are revolutionizing dental implant treatment and why the ImplArt Clinic is a benchmark in the field.

Why Are People Afraid of Dental Implants?

The fear of pain is still common and is often associated with past dental experiences or a lack of knowledge about the new technologies available. Fortunately, modern dentistry has evolved significantly, offering much more patient-friendly and comfortable solutions.

Among the new trends for pain-free dental implant treatment are fast-healing implants. These implants have nanotechnology on their surface, which speeds up the osseointegration process and further increases the chances of successful implant treatment.

Dental implant: types of dental implant and treatment stages

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

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

What is a Dental Implant?

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

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

Why Are Dental Implants Necessary?

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

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

What is Dental Implant Surgery like?

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

Dental implant stages

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

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

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

Does Implant Surgery Hurt?

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

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

What’s the Aftermath of Implant Surgery?

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

Who Needs Dental Implants?

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

When Are Dental Implants Not Recommended?

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

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

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

Types of Dental Implants Available at the ImplArt Clinic

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

1. single-unit dental implant:

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

2. Multiple dental implants:

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

3. Total implant with Protocol Prosthesis:

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

4. All-on-4 dental implant

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

5. Zygomatic Implant

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

Dental Implant Models Used at ImplArt Dental Clinic

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

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

Single Tooth Dental Implant

The lack of a tooth, usually lost as a result of an accident or damaged by decay, can be easily replaced by implanting a tooth (which works like a tooth root) and fixing a dental crown (which imitates the color and shape of the natural tooth) onto this dental implant. This treatment is called single tooth implant.

Most of the time, the surgery is very simple and quick and, depending on the type of implant chosen, the patient can be rehabilitated with the final definitive prosthesis in just a few months. This applies to both single and total implants.

Nowadays there are fast-healing implants, Slactive implants, for which osseointegration takes place in 1 month. In this way, the patient’s self-esteem and quality of life can be restored in a short space of time. In addition, there are now very modern treatments without the use of any metal. This is possible with the ceramic implant and the Pure Zirconia Crown, or Cerec Pure Porcelain.

The loss of one tooth leads to problems with the other teeth

Dental implants are certainly an effective solution for restoring the aesthetics and functionality of the smile. The absence of a tooth can compromise the aesthetics of the smile, but also its functionality. Missing teeth trigger bone resorption at the site, which can be prevented by implanting a single tooth. Bone loss varies from person to person, but in advanced cases it can unbalance dental occlusion.

In this way, neighboring and opposing teeth can move. For example, a person loses a back tooth in the lower arch and doesn’t replace it. The opposing upper tooth, which until then made contact with the lower tooth, loses its support and tends to move downwards over time. Dental malocclusion facilitates the development of problems such as plaque build-up, tooth decay and TMJ dysfunction. Therefore, the single loss of a tooth can lead to imbalances in neighboring teeth, and needs to be addressed with a dental implant.

Take a look at this dental implant treatment for a front tooth. Firstly, an individual dental implant was made and a temporary crown installed on the day of surgery. Secondly, after the dental implant had healed, we made the dental crown, a fixed zirconia prosthesis over the implant. Natural results and rapid rehabilitation.

Benefits of single tooth implants

Therefore, a single-tooth dental implant has many benefits over other treatment alternatives, the main ones being:

  • Neighboring teeth remain intact
  • The new crown is attached directly to the implant, which makes it possible to floss like a natural tooth
  • Excellent aesthetic and functional results
  • Ease of treatment, as the prosthetic components are prefabricated (approximately four sessions)
  • Unaffected by caries and infiltration
  • It is possible to place a temporary crown immediately after implant placement(immediate loading)
  • The installation of the implant prevents or stops bone resorption.

He is responsible for promoting knowledge and high technology applied in all the treatments offered by the ImplArt Dental Clinic.

What are bone grafts?

Bone grafts are techniques to supplement the bone lost in the patient’s jaw. They can be performed simultaneously with the insertion of the dental implant, or require a healing period. Each indication will depend on an analysis of the patient’s case. But rest assured, today’s bone grafting techniques are very modern and painless for the patient. The results are certainly worth it because dental implants are the best solution for restoring missing teeth!

Bone grafts are used to reconstruct the area that has lost height or thickness

In some cases, it is not possible to place dental implants without first doing bone grafts. People who have lost one or more teeth due to accidents or extractions always think about reconstructing their dental arch in order to smile without embarrassment and for this, dental implant placement is certainly an excellent option.

When people lose their teeth and don’t replace them immediately, they experience bone resorption. As a result, the bone in the area becomes thinner and taller, or has defects in its shape. In the upper jaw, the size of the maxillary sinus can increase, which in principle prevents implants from being placed. In addition, with tooth loss, expressions become limited, the mouth shrivels, chewing becomes difficult and speech can also be altered.

In this way , bone grafting serves to rebuild enough structure to allow the implant to be made, restoring the lost volume to the atrophied bone. For this technique, the dentist can use the patient’s own bone material, taken from the mouth (for small reconstructions) or taken from other sites, such as the hip bone (iliac) and skull cap (for large extensions).

There are different bone grafting techniques, each with its own particularities

In the case of smaller, more common grafts, the bone grafting procedure can be done in the office using local anesthesia. For larger areas, the surgical intervention is performed in a hospital by a larger, multidisciplinary team under general anesthesia. The patient does not lose teeth while the bone graft heals.

It is also possible to use a xenogenous bone graft crystal, when the bone comes from animals (freeze-dried bovine bone – Genox or Bioss), human bone from bone banks (bone transplant) or synthetic vitreous materials (synthetic hydroxyapatite). However, the most easily regenerated material is bone graft taken from the person themselves (autogenous bone).

Types of bone graft materials

The procedure can be carried out in fragments or as a block. Many people are afraid of undergoing a bone graft, but in fact the procedure can be very simple. All the materials are biosecure and undergo strict controls to prevent contamination.

Smaller bone grafts are non-invasive and can be used to supplement the bone around a newly placed implant. However, in people who have lost their teeth many years ago, larger bone grafts may be necessary. ImplArt’s philosophy is to avoid bone grafts and has mastered alternative techniques such as:

Bone loss: causes

Bone loss can occur for a number of reasons, but the most common is tooth loss or extraction without immediate replacement. When a person loses their teeth, the body resorbs the bone in the maxilla or mandible because it understands that the bone no longer has a function (which was to provide support for the teeth). This loss is progressive and over the years the person has little bone volume in terms of height and width, which at first makes it difficult to place dental implants.

upper arch bone grafts

Maxillary sinus lift or sinus lift

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure for bone grafting in the posterior region of the upper jaw. The aim is to increase the amount of bone in height so that a longer dental implant can be placed.

When a person loses one or more teeth in the upper arch, there is a loss of bone in height and the maxillary sinus shrinks (fig.1). The procedure is carried out in this way: First, a small opening is made in the gum in the lateral region of the bone defect (fig.2).

A variable amount of bone regeneration precursor material is then placed inside this opening (figs.3,4). The surgery is quick and usually takes no more than 30 minutes with an experienced surgeon. Bone regeneration takes between 4 and 9 months (fig.5), and then the implants are placed (fig.6), but radiographic examinations are carried out beforehand to check the progress of bone regeneration.

Materials used in bone grafts

Nowadays we have a variety of materials that can be used for bone grafts in the maxillary sinus:

  • Bovine freeze-dried bone – Genox
  • Autogenous bone (from the person)
  • Synthetic hydroxyapatite (bone precursor)
  • Bone bank homologous bone (bone transplant)
  • Synthetic vitreous materials – Bioss
  • Grafts with biological stimulators such as fibrin (PRF), platelets (PRP), or bone proteins (BMP)

Studies show that all materials are favorable for this type of graft, depending only on the surgeon’s preference.

Dental implants how much ?

Dental implants how much they cost? What is the price and value of dental implant treatments, dental prosthesis, prosthesis protocol and dental aesthetics? Also, what is the average price of a dental implant, and what is the price of a dental implant for each tooth?

These are examples of questions frequently asked by patients. To clear up these doubts, it’s important to bear in mind a few points that go deeper than just the dental implant price. Here at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt, patients have their initial consultation directly with our clinical director, implant dentist Dr. Roberto Markarian, who clarifies all the information about implants during the first consultation.

Let’s follow more honest information about the price and cost of dental implants and prostheses and find out what influences the cost of implant treatment:

VALUE OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implant costs can be determined by the type of dental implant used

There are currently several types of dental implants available and different types of dental prostheses, which give patients different options. The most suitable option for your case will be made in consultation, and your opinion will be very important in the final choice process. The characteristics of each material are presented so that the patient can choose with all the information about healing times and execution methods.
In this regard, we should point out that there are everything from titanium implants to the modern ceramic implant, the only metal-free option and an excellent choice for those seeking biological dentistry.

There are fast-healing dental implants, such as the Straumann Slactive implant, as well as national implants with longer healing times. Therefore, your choice cannot be based solely on the price of an implant, but rather on a number of factors.

Dental implants how much ? How much does a dental implant cost? How much is a dental implant?

Of course, many of the calls and messages we receive relate to the cost of dental implants, total implants, dental contact lenses and dental treatments in general. And these questions above are the most frequently asked. How much the patient will spend on their dental implant treatment is undeniably one of the topics that causes concern for the patient.

However, it’s important to point out that there are currently several types of implants and prostheses, and that with so many options, it will certainly be easier to choose the ideal one for each case. We always try to explain that these questions can only be answered legitimately, through a dental consultation. There are two main reasons for this:

1. The first is that the Code of Ethics of the Federal Council of Dentistry forbade dentists from carrying out consultations in person. However, with the pandemic, online consultations with dentists were allowed. In this way, after an online consultation we will be able to provide you with an estimate of Dental implants how much they will cost

2. The second is that dental treatments can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient. There are numerous factors that influence treatment planning, for example:

Does the case require bone grafting or not? What type of implant will be chosen? Are there other treatment options available? What about the type of prosthesis? Immediate or delayed loading? Will a less invasive implant be used? Is it guided surgery, where a prior surgical guide is made?

The good news for those who live far away, whether abroad or in other states, is the possibility of making an initial consultation remotely, the online consultation.

Types of implants and crowns influence the value of dental implants / Dental implants how much ?

What’s more, many patients are unaware of the different types of implant, which, above all, can offer different recovery times and different indications. So there is a wide range of choices, and surely one will be right for you.

Currently, there are SLactive fast-healing implants from Straumann, the Pure Ceramicceramic implant, also from Straumann, as well as conventional titanium implants, which heal in between 2 and 6 months.

In this way, these more modern dental implants make it possible to shorten the treatment time with the rapid healing they offer.

It is also important to note that there are several types of prosthesis to be made on these dental implants, and the choice will be made jointly by the patient and specialist, depending on the desired results. Therefore, at your initial consultation, all the characteristics of each type of implant and prosthesis will be presented for your choice.

identificação de implantes dentarios, Dental implants how much
Type of implant chosen: The brand of post has an influence on How much does a tooth implant cost?
The final cost of a dental implant treatment depends on a number of factors, such as the materials used, the qualifications of the professional, the technique used, among others. Therefore, the price of the total dental treatment will vary on the market.

How do I know the price of implant treatment? How much do dental implants cost?

First of all, it’s important to bear in mind that when it comes to quality dental treatments, the price of a dental implant can’t always be the deciding factor in the choice, but rather the quality of the service being offered. It is therefore essential that patients make their choice based on the trust and credibility of the clinic or professional providing the service, as well as the technical knowledge of the professionals, their years of practice and the technique to be used.

Undeniably, not every dental implant treatment is the same, firstly because of the differences in each case, and secondly because each professional has their own practice, technique and theoretical background. That’s why it’s very difficult to choose a professional based on price alone. If it’s too cheap, be wary! High-quality materials and qualified professionals have their value. Remember that the effort the professional has put into their qualifications throughout their career makes a direct difference to the outcome of your treatment!

How to measure the value of dental implants in the total dental treatment? what is the fair value/ Dental implants how much ?

Another aspect to address is the techniques used in the treatment and the structure offered. At the ImplArt Dental Clinic we have the most modern equipment for digital 3D prosthesis planning, and our prosthesis laboratory is equipped with computerized printers, responsible for producing the most modern prostheses in zirconia and pure porcelain.

As a result, we are able to offer the most modern technologies worldwide, which makes treatments more precise, faster and more comfortable for the patient. That’s why the ImplArt Implant Clinic is so sought after by patients who come from abroad, looking for the latest technology aligned with the best practices in dentistry worldwide, to carry out their intensive Day Clinic treatment. You should know that, for those who come from far away, it is possible to make an online consultation beforehand and with our technology, planning your dental implant surgery remotely is possible.

Dental implant and prosthesis techniques affect the value of dental implants

There are certainly several options for materials and techniques that influence the composition of a budget. What’s more, a treatment that may be suitable for one person may not be the right one for another.

Therefore, it is especially important to be assessed by a talented implant dentistry professional, who will evaluate each specific case and make the most appropriate recommendation to solve each case. Just to illustrate how treatment prices can vary, and the importance of a face-to-face assessment, at Clinica Dentária ImplArt we offer various dental implant options and different types of prostheses.

Short implants? Faster healing implants? Upon receiving a treatment recommendation, the patient will choose the type of implant and dental prosthesis they prefer with the dentist, after explaining the technical characteristics of each type.

The importance of an evaluation appointment to find out the cost of a dental implant

Another aspect that needs to be addressed is that patients may think they have a dental problem and believe that a particular treatment may be the most appropriate, but in reality it may be something else.

The dental surgeon is the professional who is qualified to look at oral health in general, as well as giving the necessary recommendations to keep teeth beautiful and healthy throughout life. That’s why it’s important to know that there is a wide range of options for solving the same problem.

Below are all the types of prostheses available for total implant treatments. Firstly there are zirconia prostheses with individual teeth, secondly translucent zirconia, thirdly porcelain prostheses and lastly resin options, called protocols.

Treatment planning involves various strategies and options of materials and techniques with different prices: cheaper or more expensive

At ImplArt Dental Clinic, we believe that dental treatment goes far beyond a simple monetary dental implant value.

There are important factors that influence cost-effectiveness, such as the health and well-being that a healthy set of teeth provides. We can mention the confident improvement in the patient’s self-esteem and the patient’s comfort during procedures with modern techniques and methodologies aimed at the patient’s well-being.

In this sense, the relationship of trust between patient and dentist, and above all our empathy for the patient, often brings with it anxieties, expectations, fears and even trauma from previous experiences. What do you think your smile is worth?

Frequently asked questions about dental implant prices and rehabilitation treatments

Does the Dental Implant Clinic charge for the first consultation?

Yes, the first consultation, the assessment consultation, has a cost. Without a doubt, it is important to note that the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, classifies it as an ethical infringement to offer free consultations and diagnoses, as well as to display the cost of dental implants in a generic manner.

At the ImplArt Dental Clinic, the patient will be assessed by the clinic’s director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, who holds important academic degrees such as Master’s, Doctorate and Specialist in Prosthodontics and Implantology.

It is also important to note that our clinical director has extensive experience in thousands of treatments for functional and aesthetic oral rehabilitation, with dental implants and prostheses. He is also considered a benchmark in digital implants and prostheses, with 3D modeling, which is why we receive patients who come from all over the world in search of our quality of care, not just for the value of dental implants.

Because of his knowledge and credibility, he is sought out by patients from all over the world and is responsible for guiding the team of highly qualified specialists who make up the Clinic’s team. Therefore, it is from his experience and solid academic background that he will propose a solution to the patient’s problem, supported by the most modern practices in world dentistry.

What can be requested at the initial consultation?

In order to allow for an in-depth analysis of the case,the patient may be asked toundergo some radiological examinations to help with the diagnosis and treatment planning.

For your convenience, some of the main dental exams, such as panoramic radiography and computed tomography, can be carried out within the clinic, in our radiology center.

Of course, if the patient already has previous, recent tests (up to 1 year), these can be presented at the initial consultation. Undoubtedly, the examinations are a fundamental tool for a complete analysis of the patient’s needs and for determining the cost of the dental implant.

There are dentists who don’t charge for consultations, why do you?

First and foremost , we follow the rules of the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, which specifies that dental services cannot be free of charge, in the same way as medical consultations.

Certainly the culture in dentistry is improving and the number of dentists who charge for consultations is growing. It’s important to make sure that, above all, the dentist who will be seeing you has studied at university and takes frequent postgraduate courses.

Your time is valuable, just as it is in other health professions. I’m sure you also want highly qualified treatment, and we have the technical knowledge and the latest technology to offer it.

Do you accept any dental plans?

In order to offer patients the most modern treatments, our treatments are private.

In fact, most dental plans don’t offer cover for dental prostheses, implants or aestheticprocedures, which are precisely the focus of our clinic. However, plans can be used for the reimbursement system or free choice, depending on the value of the dental implant.

There are certainly companies that offer this system to their employees. In this way, the patient pays for their treatment and then, through the specific procedures of each plan, receives part or all of the amounts paid, according to the rules of each plan. In this case, we offer support so that you can apply for reimbursement.

Can I send my tests by e-mail to get a better idea of the cost of treatment before I go to the clinic?

Nowadays, for those who live abroad or in other cities and want to schedule their trip to the Day Clinic for treatment , it is possible to have an online consultation (Teleodontology). What are the cases in which we can carry out an online consultation?

  • Care for patients who are already undergoing treatment and are unable to return to the office.
  • Ask questions about dental implant treatment and cost
  • Obtain information on the best time to resume treatment for people in the coronavirus risk group
  • Attending to people from other cities, states or countries.
  • Patient monitoring between scheduled appointments

If you are in or passing through São Paulo, we remind you that face-to-face consultations are always more productive. Therefore, the online version of the consultation is intended primarily for those who are physically far away. Due to the rules of the CFO Council of Dentistry, we cannot publish the cost of dental implants.

Do you have any doubts? Want to know how much an implant costs? Talk to us and we’ll be able to help you clarify them. We at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt are happy to help you. Access our WhatsApp with the direct communication channel.

Morse-Fit: benefits of dental implant connection

What is a Morse-Fit (cone morse) dental implant?

Today there are various types of dental implants, including the morse-fit implant connection. But what does this mean? To understand what a morse-fit dental implant is, you first need to understand what an implant connection is. That way, we’ll show you why the morse-fit implant is the most modern implant available today. Dental implants from the Swiss brand Straumann have a morse-fit platform. Neodent also offers implants of this design.

A dental implant is a device that is surgically placed in the bone and has a function very similar to that of a tooth root. Just above the implant, the dentist places a dental crown or fixed prosthesis to fulfill the function of the teeth. In addition to the type of implant connection, there are also differences in the composition of the implants. There are therefore implants made of titanium and ceramic implants, white implants made of zirconia.

To make the union between implant and tooth, there needs to be an interface and this piece is called an abutment. The way the abutment is placed on the implant is known as the implant connection or prosthetic connection.

Schematics of Morse-fit implants

There are different implant connection models, the main ones being external hexagon, internal hexagon and the advanced morse-fit system. Here, at the Implart dental clinic, we will present all the implant options suitable for your case during your initial assessment with our implant dentist.

identificação de implantes dentarios

Morse fit is a prosthetic connection system in which the implant has a conical central core. There is evidence that this format has several benefits over others. We’ll get to know them shortly.

Benefits of morse-fit implants over other types of connection

The morse-fit technique has a number of advantages and favors the dentist’s work for a more efficient and comfortable rehabilitation. See other advantages:

  • The conical shape preserves the bone crest, reducing the chances of bone loss, as this model is placed at bone level (below the bone).
  • Promotes bone stability which helps preserve peri-implant tissue.
  • The intermediaries used in morse-fit implants allow bone and gum to fill the space between the prosthesis and the implant, creating an ideal seal and preserving the bone.
  • The designed conical seal prevents bacteria from migrating to the implant. The design prevents bacterial colonization on the implant (peri-implantitis).
  • Studies have shown that the conical shape of the morse-fit implant connection is the best option for using the immediate loading technique due to the greater mechanical stability and performance of the abutment, and the favoring of osseointegration (the process of integration between implant and bone).
  • What’s more, these implants allow for faster healing and therefore a shorter implant treatment period

The morse-fit implant is the best option for the surgical and prosthetic phases, and performs best over time. Here are some more advantages:

  • The model makes it possible to plan computer-guided implant surgeries.
  • Excellent frictional retention as well as reduced gaps between the abutment and the inside of the implant prevent displacement. The space reduction increases the contact area of the interface, offering greater resistance than other internal connections.
  • The model favors the distribution of physiological forces around the peri-implant tissues
  • It favors the aesthetic result of the treatment, as the dividing line between abutment and implant is easier and more discreet. In addition, the gums regenerate better with morse-fit implants.
  • Its angulation makes it easier to remove the implant, should this be necessary, while preserving bone and gum tissue.
implante cone morse 50kb
The union between the morse-fit implant and the prosthetic parts is more stable and durable, preventing bacterial infiltration and infection of the gums and bone around the dental implant (peri-implantitis).

The main brands of morse-fit dental implants, national or imported, SIN Implant System, Neodent, and the Swiss Straumann, are available at Clinica dentaria ImplArt. Also, for those who live far away, we can make a preliminary online consultation and plan your dental implant surgery remotely.

If you have any questions about morse-fit implants, crowns and dentures, it’s best to consult an implant dentist. So get in touch with us or book an appointment with the specialized team at the ImplArt Dental Clinic.

5 Biggest Risks for Dental Implants

Are there any risks for dental implants? We’ll find out about 5 of them in this article. Dental implants are a more up-to-date, modern and low-risk alternative for tooth replacement than a fixed prosthesis on teeth or a removable prosthesis, the old dentures.

The technique for inserting dental implants is very safe, with an estimated 92% chance of success in non-smoking patients with good health and healthy habits. There are several types of dental implants available today, the most modern of which is the metal-free ceramic implant, an excellent option for those looking for metal-free implant treatment.

The single tooth implant, or total dental implant, is used to replace the root of one or more missing teeth and will serve as a support for an artificial tooth called adentalprosthesis or dental crown.

Crucial to the success of the procedure is the thorough planning of the implant surgery and the choice of specialist professionals who are qualified to carry out the dental implant surgery. This increases the chance of success of this important treatment, and therefore the chances of any complications are minimal.

So rest assured that you can enjoy all the benefits that this rehabilitative and safe treatment offers patients. The implant-supported prosthesis is made to resemble the person’s other natural teeth and also offer similar chewing strength.

Oral rehabilitation with dental implants is usually the best option for re-establishing the patient’s aesthetic and chewing functions, a treatment called total dental implantation.

But in very few cases, there can be some risks with dental implants. Here are the 5 main risks of dental implants:

1 – Risk of implant breakage

Patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) can exert a lot of force on the implants, with an increased chance of breakage or fracture of the implants or the parts that make up the implant prostheses.

Patients who bruxism also increase the risk of loosening the screws that fix the implant crown. When this happens, the patient reports that the implant is “soft”. However, we mustn’t confuse the prosthesis becoming loose with the implant pin coming loose from the bone (which is much more serious).

Most commonly, when the problem is just the loose implant tooth, the patient feels no pain, while when the implant is lost there is always pain. If the implant fractures or comes loose from the bone, it must be replaced, starting the dental implant process all over again.

Check complete PODCAST about 5 biggest risks for dental implants:

Is it the dentist’s fault that my implant fractured?

There are several factors to consider, some of which would be the material of the prosthesis, the number and positioning of the implants, correct surgical technique, material of the dental implant, type of prosthetic components chosen, type of prosthetic connection chosen.

Assuming that the professionals are working to do their best, it’s rare that there will be any negligence in this regard. What really counts is the willingness of the patient and the professional to start again, perhaps trying to improve or perfect one of the strategies.

2 – Inflammation in implants and risks

Inflammation can occur in a dental implant, manifesting itself as pain, swelling, pain when chewing, bleeding, and even the formation of pus in the implant. Please note that in any area of medicine where an artificial part is used inside the human body, there can be an adverse reaction of rejection.

This rejection phenomenon can occur in relation to the dental implant or an associated material such as a bone graft or a protective membrane. Bacterial infection can also occur in the implants, which can even prevent bone integration.

one of the risks of dental implants is peri implantitis
The implant on the left in the image has inflammatory bone loss, while the implant on the right has a normal bone level

That’s why all treatments at ImplArt begin with a thorough oral cleaning, as well as the removal of any infectious diseases such as cavities and periodontal disease. The patient will only have implant surgery if their mouth is clean and their oral health is good.

This is possible even if the patient doesn’t have all their teeth yet. When the prostheses on implants are finished, we teach the patient how to properly clean the dental implant. This correct hygiene is very important and certainly contributes to the chances of success of the dental implant.

Inflammation in implants leads to aesthetic, gum and bone problems

3 – Risk of facial nerve damage

If the surgery is not well planned, with the use of CT scans and other imaging tests for mapping, damage to the jaw nerve can occur during dental implant surgery. In the area at the back of the mouth in the lower arch, there is a nerve that can be very superficial, especially if the patient has been without teeth for many years.

In patients with advanced periodontal disease, bone loss can also put the nerve at risk due to its proximity. To reduce the risk of nerve damage and paresthesia, the implant dentist will carry out imaging tests. The most commonly requested exam is a panoramic X-ray, but a cone beam CT scan helps to measure the bone and plan the implant.

Computer-guided surgery – reducing risks

To minimize the risks even further, we can perform computer-guided partial or total implant surgery, which offers little invasiveness and allows for perfect positioning of the dental implant, with no room for error.

Crooked or poorly positioned implants can have poor bone integration or even rejection. It is not in all cases that we are able to recover the patient from oral nerve damage or poorly placed implants.

Depending on the severity of the problem, an injury to the jaw nerve can lead to sequelae such as numbness in the jaw or loss of sensation in the tongue or to the sensation of tastes (gustation).

At the ImplArt dental clinic, 100% of cases are operated on with a CT scan, which can be done in our own radiology center.

Guided implant surgery reduces the risk of dental implant positioning errors

4 – Risks in the bone around the implants

Bone loss can occur in an implant that has suffered infection while healing in the bone. In addition, in cases where immediate loading is carried out, i.e. a temporary or permanent tooth is placed in position immediately after surgery, there is a greater risk of bone and implant loss.

This is because the newly placed dental implant does not yet have a mature attachment to the bone and needs to rely exclusively on its mechanical locking into the bone in order to fix itself. Most of the time, if the indication and technique are correct, immediate loading works well.

But in cases of immediate failure, the consequences can be serious, for example leading to major bone loss in the area. There are more advanced dental implant models that have improvements to the fit of the tooth and also in the chemistry of the surface so that healing in the bone occurs faster and more efficiently.

There are risks to the success of implant treatment that don’t depend on the professional or the materials used, but on patient factors. Failure to clean the teeth,smoking and diabetes increase the chance of problems with the dental implant.
