8 common mistakes to avoid when getting All on X dental implants

Dental implants All-on-four are an incredible procedure, but also considered the most complex in implant dentistry. This procedure, also known as total implantation and protocol prosthesis, is capable of revolutionizing the patient’s life. It is offered at the ImplArt Clinic by Dr. Roberto Markarian and involves various skills on the part of the dental surgeon to guarantee the success of the treatment. We’ll give you more details on how All on Four dental implants work and the 8 common mistakes to avoid!

The All on Four dental implant treatment can also be called a total implant or Branemark prosthesis. In English, this treatment is also called Full Mouth Dental Implantor All on X. If you have any doubts about how the All on Four dental implant treatment works, don’t worry, we’ll tell you all about it below.

WHAT IS dental implants ALL ON FOUR or ALL ON X ?

All-on-Four dental implants are a revolutionary solution for people who have lost most or all of the teeth in an arch. This technique uses just four dental implants strategically positioned to support a complete dental prosthesis. This provides a stable and secure base for artificial teeth, significantly improving the functionality and aesthetics of the smile. The fact that precisely 4 implants are used determines the name of the technique, ALL ON 4.

But it’s important to note that there are modern prosthetic materials, such as Translucent Zirconia, which will require the implant dentist to carry out more dental implants in each arch. Therefore, total implant treatment usually involves 4 to 6 dental implants, depending on the type of prosthesis that will be installed.

Here are the top 8 common mistakes to avoid with Dental Implants All on Four.

Here are the common mistakes to avoid when getting Dental Implants All on Four

In the video below, Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist and director of Clínica Dentaria ImplArt, tells us about the 8 main mistakes to avoid when doing All-on-4 dental implants:

1. Not choosing an experienced implant dentist

Dental Implants All on Four are one of the most complex dental surgical procedures. As with many things, there is a big difference between being able to perform the procedure and being able to do it well.

You can find many dentists who can perform the procedure, but not all of them do it with excellence. Part of the problem is that many dental practices offer All-on-4 implants these days, but who is behind this offer?

Dental implants All on 4: how to choose a specialist

All-on-4 implants are becoming very marketable, which means that many newly qualified dentists are being trained in the process from an early stage. Even more experienced dentists, but with little experience in oral surgery, are getting into the practice. This results in a market saturated with professionals who may have only performed a few All-on-4 surgeries, but who heavily advertise this treatment.

This can be a minefield for uninformed patients. At the ImplArt Clinic, under the direction of Dr. Roberto Markarian, you’ll find the expertise you need. Before you start, research the dentist’s credentials. Check how many All-on-4 cases he has performed and whether he has specific experience in this type of implant. At ImplArt, we offer a guarantee on our work, reflecting our confidence in the quality of our services.

Meet Dr. Roberto Markarian, clinical director of ImplArt, who tells us more about Dental Implants All on Four, and dental implant surgery where he performs tooth extraction and simultaneous implants. This situation certainly happens a lot with all-on-four dental implants, where extractions take place, in most cases, in the same surgery as the implants.

2. Do not consider whether you can perform more than 4 implants per arch

One of the attractions of All-on-4 dental implants is the number “4”. A full arch of upper or lower teeth with just 4 implants. Only 4 implants to be inserted, saving time and money. Minimum work, maximum results.

However, more dental implants can offer more support. While All-on-4 implants are an incredible tool for many people, restoring an entire arch of teeth with 4 implants is not the “standard” option for full-arch implants.

At Clinica Dentaria ImplArt, we assess the number of dental implants needed to support the fixed prosthesis according to the patient’s bone situation and the material of the prosthesis chosen. For the Translucent Zirconia Prosthesis, we usually use 6 implants, as they will provide additional support for the Zirconia Protocol Prosthesis.

3. Assume that everyone can perform All-on-4 implants

All-on-4 implants are a modern solution for replacing missing teeth with a prosthetic protocol. There are specific criteria for treatment:

  • Have enough bone in the mandible or maxilla in the area that will receive the implants
  • Have an indication for extraction of all teeth
  • Intend to carry out immediate loading

At ImplArt Dental Clinic, we use 3D scans to assess bone health and volume, ensuring that you receive the most appropriate treatment. And if you need bone grafting to allow for the insertion of dental implants, don’t worry: there are several modern bone grafting techniques that will allow for all-on-four dental implants.

4. Not checking and researching the brand of implants for Dental Implants All on Four

Many people pride themselves on saving money by buying generic brands. This is great for many items, such as food and even medicines. But sometimes you’re not just paying for the brand name, but for the history, reliability, longevity and quality assurance that the brand offers.

There are many types of dental implants on the market, and frankly, they’re not all the same. The cost of a dental implant will certainly depend on the brand you choose. Dental implants from generic brands are therefore risky for two main reasons:

  • Uncertainty about the quality of the implant itself.
  • Uncertainty about the company’s longevity.

At the ImplArt Clinic, we use renowned brands such as Straumann, Neodent and SIN, which offer high quality and longevity for your implants.

*Get to knowthe Straumann Dental Implants Line: Straumann’s high-tech dental implants

5. Assuming you’ll have final teeth on the same day with Dental Implants All on Four

The promise of “final teeth on the same day” is attractive, but not everyone is an ideal candidate for this approach. To be eligible for immediate loading implants, you need to have very good bone volume and meet certain characteristics for this technique. In addition, immediately after surgery, the anatomy of the area is altered by the surgery and becomes swollen, so making a final prosthesis on the same day as surgery may not be the ideal solution.

But don’t worry, at Clinica ImplArt the patient always wears a temporary prosthesis after total implant surgery. This way, patients are never left without teeth while waiting for their dental implants to osseointegrate.

Post-operative care with Dental Implants All on Four

At ImplArt, we guarantee an honest and realistic assessment of the feasibility of immediate loading implants for you, clearly explaining the process and the time needed to obtain definitive results. We make sure you know that the teeth fixed on the day of surgery are temporary and that you will need to return after a few months to receive permanent teeth.

6. Assuming it’s better to extract all the teeth and start again

Keeping your natural teeth is always the best option. At ImplArt, we prioritize saving natural teeth when possible, using treatments such as root canals to avoid unnecessary extractions and preserve oral health. Extracting healthy teeth should be the last option, and it is preferable to work around existing teeth and keep them.

7. Wearing teeth prematurely after the first surgery

After All-on-4 implant surgery, it is crucial to allow time for osseointegration. One of the most important factors in dental implants is osseointegration, which is the growth of bone around the implant, fixing it in place.

At ImplArt, we provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure that you avoid overloading the implants prematurely and compromising bone integration. For the first six weeks, avoid biting and chewing hard foods with your temporary prosthesis so as not to compromise the implants.

8. Choosing and comparing treatments based on price rather than quality

Although ImplArt uses high-tech materials, we offer competitive dental implant prices without compromising on quality. Our experienced team and the use of high-quality materials ensure that you receive the best value for your investment in oral health.

When it comes to the cost of dental implant treatment, it is very difficult to make a choice based on the price of the treatment alone. A number of factors must be taken into account, such as the experience of the team, knowledge and practice in the procedure, as well as the types of materials and technologies used in the treatment. Imported implants will certainly have a higher value than domestic implants. When it comes to prosthetics on All on Four dental implants, the same is true: materials such as resin will be cheaper than porcelain or zirconia.

Dental implants: Learn all about dental implants in this guide

Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, offering effective and long-lasting solutions for replacing missing teeth. If you’re considering this option or simply want to better understand how the process works, this guide is for you. Here, we’ll explore everything you need to know about dental implants: from the benefits and types available to the surgical procedure and post-operative care. Get ready to discover how to regain the functionality and aesthetics of your smile with confidence.

What dental implants are used for

The state of our smile plays a fundamental role in our general well-being. We express many of our emotions when we smile. In addition, when we interact with others, we are always showing our teeth, this is inevitable and part of human nature.

The good news is that nowadays the problem of missing teeth is becoming easier and easier to solve with dental implants. This modern treatment is constantly evolving, with versions of dental implants that adapt to different situations: fast implants, short implants, narrow implants, modern implants, nanotechnology implants, total implants, etc.

In this article we’ve prepared a complete guide to everything about implants, so you can find out tips, benefits, indications, tips and much more about dental implants. Follow along!

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants can currently be made of two materials: titanium or zirconia, which act as artificial roots. In this way, they can be inserted into both the maxillary and mandibular bones to replace missing or compromised teeth.

Basically, a dental implant replaces the root of a tooth, giving stability to the prosthesis or dental crown. After the implant placement surgery, a period called osseointegration begins. This is precisely the moment when the dental implant gains stability with the bone, which will certainly allow the implant to withstand the stresses and pressures of the chewing process.

Undeniably, dental implants are a revolutionary solution that allows patients to replace missing teeth with stable, long-lasting and effective solutions.

Certainly, the wide range of dental implant options makes it possible to reach an increasing number of patients. For example, even patients with poor bone structure can now have dental implants in most cases. In this way, more and more patients are able to experience the benefits of treatment, improving their quality of life, self-esteem and confidence to smile.

Extraction and dental implant in the same surgery

In the video below, our clinical director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, explains how the option of treatment with extraction and dental implant in the same surgery works:

What is the difference between an implant and a pivot?

The dental implant and the pivot have significant differences, although in both treatments the intention is to recover a damaged tooth. While the implant involves a surgical procedure, the pivot is a prosthetic procedure. The definition of the type of treatment must be carried out by the dental surgeon, and will certainly depend on the degree of damage to the tooth.

The pivot is a dental prosthesis that requires the installation of an intraradicular core inside its root. In other words, in this treatment option the tooth root is maintained after root canal treatment and a core is inserted to structure the tooth and support the dental crown.

Implants, on the other hand, are used when the tooth can no longer be preserved with conventional treatments and tooth extraction is necessary.

As mentioned above, the definition of the treatment will depend on an individual analysis by the specialist, who will also assess the desired aesthetic objectives.

What is the difference between implants and dentures?

Many patients confuse dental implants with dentures. It’s important to mention that when we’re talking about dental implants, we’re always talking about a surgical procedure. When we talk about rehabilitation with implants, the dental prosthesis or dental crown refers to the “tooth” supported on the dental implant.

In the past, to replace a missing tooth, the solution used to be a 3-part fixed prosthesis. This meant that the teeth next to the lost tooth had to be worn down in order to support the prosthesis. Today, however, modern dental implants make it possible to replace a missing tooth without affecting the teeth next to it.

In the video below you can see the differences between fixed prostheses and dental implants:

Read more: New types of dental implants

When we talk about removable dental prostheses, we are referring to dentures, which are the old removable prostheses. Of course, dentures are being used less and less, being replaced by the modern protocol prosthesis, which is a prosthesis fixed on 4 to 6 implants. The most modern material for protocol prostheses is Translucent Zirconia.

Types of Dental Implants: Types of Dental Implants

See below for the types of dental implant:

  • INDIVIDUAL DENTAL IMPLANT, UNITARY IMPLANT or SINGLE-TOOTH DENTAL IMPLANT

The first type of implant is the single tooth implant. This solution is ideal when the patient loses a single tooth and needs to replace it. The procedure consists of inserting an individual titanium or zirconia dental implant into the bone. It can be performed in either the maxillary or mandibular bone. After the implant has healed, a dental crown is made, which, if made of zirconia, will be very natural and similar to natural teeth.

Watch the video below about individual dental implants:

  • TOTAL IMPLANT WITH FULL ARCH FIXED PROSTHESIS

The second most important type is treatment with a total implant and a protocol prosthesis. This treatment is recommended for patients who have lost all the teeth in a complete arch. This treatment can be carried out on both the upper and lower arches. This type of treatment involves six to four implants on which the protocol prosthesis will be fixed. This treatment certainly makes the patient feel comfortable, both when smiling and when eating. See how the full implant and protocol prosthesis treatment works in the video below:

  • DENTAL IMPLANT TWO BY THREE (2 x 3)

This treatment option can be used in cases where there are some bone limitations, or when patients need to reduce treatment costs. Therefore, instead of performing single tooth implants, 2 implants are performed which will support a prosthesis with 3 crowns. In this situation, the patient has a fixed bridge over the implants, rather than individual teeth. It is therefore not possible to floss between the teeth, for example, as is possible with the conventional single implant technique. Therefore, if the conditions are right, opt for a single implant if you are looking for a result similar to natural teeth.

2X3 DENTAL IMPLANT
In this case, 02 dental implants support a prosthesis with 03 teeth
  • ZYGOMATIC IMPLANT

Treatment with zygomatic implants is used in some cases where there is extreme bone loss. They are anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) and are used to support fixed prostheses. The truth is that they are being used less and less these days, as there are less invasive treatment options. Certainly one of them is bone grafting in patients with bone loss, followed by dental implants.

  • IMMEDIATE LOADING IMPLANTS

Immediate loading dental implants is a technique in which the procedure of placing a dental implant and a fixed prosthesis is carried out more quickly. Immediate loading means placing a prosthesis – usually temporary – fixed to the implants immediately after surgery. Of course, the viability of immediate loading implants depends on a few prerequisites. These start with checking all the preoperative X-rays and CT scans. In addition, there are factors related to the surgery itself with conditions that can only be attested to at the time of implant insertion.

  • SHORT IMPLANTS

The new short dental implants are indicated for patients who, for whatever reason, have limited bone availability. They are therefore very versatile, increasing treatment predictability and the chances of acceptance in patients with compromised bone availability. Often, the need for bone grafting to increase the vertical dimension can be dispensed with, bringing greater peace of mind and speed to the treatment.

  • ZIRCONIA IMPLANTS

Zirconia implants are metal-free, made of highly resistant ceramic and therefore have an ivory hue. They are an excellent option for those patients who have very thin or atrophied gums. This is especially important for front teeth. They are also an excellent option, especially when these conditions occur in the anterior region (the most visible part of the arch). It is therefore an excellent option for those looking for a dental implant treatment with the best aesthetics available. Watch the video below showing the zirconia implant surgery:

  • NANOTECHNOLOGY IMPLANTS

Modern nanotechnology implants present a revolution in dental implant production because they add nanometric particles to the surface of the implant. These particles are prepared to perform healing functions as soon as they come into contact with human tissue. In this way, these nanometric particles act as catalysts or coadjuvants to stimulate the process of osseointegration. Therefore, by using these implants we have a reduced healing time and a greater chance of success.

Check out the advantages of dental implants

Certainly the main advantages of dental implants are that they unite two important points in anyone’s smile: aesthetics and chewing function. In these respects, dental implants are unbeatable and are undoubtedly the best alternative for replacing one or more missing teeth. If the tooth loss is frontal, the front tooth implant can provide natural results, bringing comfort and security to the patient’s smile. Check out the video below showing the real results of a front tooth implant treatment:

Undeniably, the implant, by allowing the dental arch to be rebalanced, brings direct benefits to the patient through comfort when eating and confidence when smiling. All these factors provide a direct increase in the patient’s quality of life and well-being

Advantages of dental implants: restores aesthetics and chewing function

Here are some of the main advantages of implants:

  • Quick replacement of a lost tooth
  • Restoring aesthetics: Dental implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth, making them the best way to replicate them. That’s why they allow you to regain the aesthetics of your smile.
  • Maintaining long-term results: Dental implants are effective structures, capable of lasting for many years and enabling long-term results.
  • Balanced chewing: The dental implant is a structure capable of withstanding the intense chewing efforts to which the teeth are subjected. Therefore, they allow the patient to eat with great comfort and stability, even more so when compared to old dentures.
  • Bone maintenance: The dental implant is able to stabilize the natural bone absorption that occurs in the area that has suffered tooth loss. In this way, the bone structure is maintained and there is no impact on neighboring teeth. See below for a video showing the consequences of missing teeth that are not replaced by implants.

How are dental implants performed?

Dental implant surgery can be carried out in the office or in hospital. The implant can be installed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Implant installation surgery is usually quick and can last between 15 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on the number of implants and the patient’s bone situation.

Dental implants are designed to adequately replace the root of a lost tooth and can be made of either titanium or zirconia. Below is a photo of the zirconia dental implant surgery.

In most cases, during the implant’s osseointegration period, the patient has a temporary crown installed. After the implant has healed, the definitive crown can be made. There are currently several types of dental crowns, including the modern CAD/CAM Pure Zirconia Crown and CAD/CAM Pure Porcelain Crown. These crowns are made using modern 3D scanning and printing systems, which allow the patient’s smile to be designed using computer graphics. In this way, the aesthetic results are enhanced and the crowns look even more like natural teeth.

CONFIRMS THE STEP BY STEP OF THE DENTAL IMPLANT:

  • INITIAL ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING FOR IMPLANTS

The purpose of the evaluation appointment is to assess the patient’s case, identifying the patient’s needs and expectations. It is at this stage that the implant dentist, Dr. Roberto Markarian, is able to assess the best treatment for the patient, as well as indicating the types of implants and dental prosthesis options recommended for the patient. Of course, each case is thoroughly assessed and each plan is personalized.

See in the video below how the initial consultation at the ImplArt Clinic works:

In addition to the clinical assessment, specific tests are requested to analyze the patient’s oral structure, anatomy and bone structure. These examinations are certainly a fundamental part of careful case planning.

Today, it is possible to have modern dental implant examinations carried out directly at the ImplArt Clinic Radiology Center:

  • Panoramic radiography;
  • Periapical radiography;
  • CT scans

In addition to the following procedures for treatment planning:

  • 3D intraoral scanner
  • Dental Photography;

In general, dental implant surgery is very similar to tooth extraction surgery. It usually takes place in a dental office, under local anesthesia, or with the use of conscious sedation performed by an anesthesiologist from the Clinic’s team. The use of sedation is a treatment option for those patients who are afraid of dental procedures, or even for those who prefer the comfort of the procedure. See how sedation works for dental implants in the video below:

In the first surgical stage, the implant is installed in the bone. Using specific equipment, the implant dentist positions the implant in the area of tooth loss. In many cases it is possible to perform tooth extraction and implantation in the same surgery. Of course, the surgery is carefully planned beforehand, based on the patient’s examinations. In this way, the implant dentist is able to choose the implant size, defining the most appropriate height and width.

Immediately after the implant is placed, a kind of cover is put in place to protect the implant while it awaits osseointegration. This process is common to all types of implants.

Immediately after surgery, it is recommended that the patient rests for the rest of the day. The usual certificates for implants are for two or three days, which is the period of greatest care, with ice applied to the area. As the days go by, activities are slowly released, and after 7 days the patient can resume normal activities.

What’s more, in the vast majority of cases, the superficial healing of the gums is fairly rapid. Within a week to 10 days, the patient returns to the clinic for follow-up and removal of stitches, when the surgery is performed conventionally. In cases of surgery without cuts, with a surgical guide, there are no stitches to be removed.

Read more: How many days to rest after dental implants?

  • OSSEOINTEGRATION

In this phase of treatment, we basically wait for the implant to heal. Depending on the type of implant chosen, this period can take between one and six months, and certainly in the case of simultaneous bone grafts, this period can be increased.

It’s worth noting that this stage is extremely important for the success of the treatment, so following the recommendations is essential. Hygiene guidelines must be followed, as well as avoiding smoking, which can compromise implant healing. In fact, the lack of proper hygiene, as well as smoking, be it electronic cigarettes, conventional cigarettes or cannabis, are factors that impair implant healing.

  • DENTAL IMPLANT REOPENING

This is the second stage of surgery, when the dental implant specialist reopens the gums to remove the protective cap. After this, the implant healer is installed, which is a device that prepares the gum tissue to receive the prosthesis and serves to make it heal properly, leaving only the access to the implant exposed.

  • MAKING THE PROSTHESIS

The last stage of treatment is when the implant has healed and the prosthesis or dental crown is made in the chosen material: translucent zirconia, pure porcelain, zirconia + porcelain or metal-ceramic. If the patient opts for modern materials such as CAD/CAM Pure Zirconia and CAD/CAM Pure Porcelain, the crown will only be made using a 3D intraoral scanner, without the need for the old mass molding. Once this stage has been completed, the treatment is finished and the patient can enjoy all the benefits of their treatment.

Indications for Dental Implants: Who Can Get an Implant?

Every patient who is a candidate to receive a dental implant must have their health assessed through anamnesis and general health assessment, as well as clinical analysis. The result is that the vast majority of people meet the necessary conditions to undergo the procedure. However, there are some rare exceptions. Let’s take a look below:

  • patients with uncontrolled health problems: such as uncontrolled diabetes, for example. It is worth clarifying that even if you have diabetes, if it is controlled, you are a candidate to receive implants
  • pregnant patients
  • children and adolescents, as they are still growing;

How many dental implants are needed for the protocol prosthesis?

The number of dental implants required for treatment will certainly depend on the treatment objectives and the patient’s initial situation. If the treatment involves total implants and a protocol prosthesis, 4 to 6 implantswill be used. The number of implants will certainly be defined by the implant dentist based on an analysis of the patient’s bone condition and the type of prosthesis to be used

By analyzing panoramic X-rays and CT scans, the implant dentist is able to determine the number of implants needed to ensure better stability of the protocol prosthesis. In addition, if the patient opts for a resin protocol, 4 dental implants are usually used. If the treatment involves a total prosthesis in metal-ceramic or zirconia, up to 6 dental implants can be used.

When many teeth are lost, are the implants done individually, one by one?

In general, when patients have lost many teeth, they opt for a treatment called total implant and prosthesis protocol. This treatment guarantees stability in chewing and oral aesthetics. In some specific cases it is possible to perform individual implants one by one. However, the patient must meet a number of prerequisites, such as abundant bone structure.

Are there any contraindications to dental implants?

As we saw earlier, the benefits of dental implant treatment are numerous! However, it is important to know that there are situations that can jeopardize the success of the treatment. For example, poor hygiene and smoking can compromise the healing process of implants.

Bone Condition

Nowadays, with advances in bone grafting techniques, the vast majority of patients can have dental implants. In fact, it is very rare for a patient not to be able to do so. In cases of bone loss, bone grafting is essential for the success of the procedure. So nowadays, thin bone is no longer an impediment to implants.

Poor oral hygiene – lack of hygiene after implants

Some patients start implant treatment as a result of tooth loss aggravated by periodontal disease. It is important to note that prophylaxis is essential for monitoring and combating peridontal disease. It also makes it possible to identify tooth decay and eliminate tartar. Hygienization is certainly aimed at preserving the patient’s oral health, including that of their implants. Lack of cleaning can affect the health of dental implants and lead to peri-implantitis, an infection of the implant.

Read more about peri-implantitis: Peri-implantitis: the dreaded dental implant infection

Smoking patients – Smoking and implants

Dental surgeons are unanimous in their opinion that smoking is one of the most damaging habits for oral health and the health of your dental implants. This applies to almost all types of smoking: cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, cannabis, straw cigarettes, pipes, among others. Smoking certainly poses risks to implant treatment, increasing the likelihood of failure. Therefore, to increase the chances of success with implants, this is the ideal time to create new healthy habits!

Patient’s general state of health

Being in good health is certainly one of the starting points for having a surgical procedure. Therefore, patients should not neglect their general health when considering dental implants. Today, medicine is preventive, and dentistry goes hand in hand.

That’s why an annual check-up is essential to identify any disorders that could jeopardize the success of your implant treatment. Heart disease, diabetes, coagulation problems and hormonal disorders are among the points that deserve attention for patients who are going to have dental implant surgery. In this case, the dental surgeon and the doctor responsible for the patient’s health exchange information to define the best alternatives for implant surgery.

Can implants be done at any age?

an adult in good health can have a dental implant at any age. The limiting factor is certainly not the patient’s age, but their general health. Implants are not recommended for children and adolescents because their bone structure is not yet fully formed. Therefore, in cases of missing teeth due to agenesis, for example, you should wait until the minimum age for dental implants.

Can dental implants be done during pregnancy?

Normally, when pregnant, the patient is told by her obstetrician to avoid surgical procedures at the dentist precisely because of the anesthesia she has to undergo. Of course, this can pose risks to the baby’s health.

Therefore, if the procedure is not an emergency, the patient will be advised to wait until the end of her pregnancy before having the implant. However, if the procedure is urgent, it should only be carried out with the obstetrician’s permission.

Alternatives to dental implants

Don’t want to get dental implants or can’t and are looking for an alternative? Oral rehabilitation with dental implants can restore your smile by giving you back one or more missing teeth. It is certainly a very safe procedure. However, this procedure may not be suitable for all cases. For these situations, the patient can have:

  • Fixed dental prosthesis on teeth
  • Adhesive resin dentures
  • Dental prosthesis with tooth suspended without support (cantilever)
  • Removable partial dentures

It should be noted that dental implants are the most comfortable and efficient solution for replacing a missing tooth, and that the patient should be aware of the pros and cons before deciding on a type of treatment. But don’t worry, your dental surgeon will be there to help you make this decision with all the information you need.

How Long Does Dental Implant Treatment Last?

The duration of dental implant treatment will depend on the patient’s bone situation. Thus, if the patient needs bone grafting, the treatment period can be extended. In addition, the total treatment time will also be determined by the type of dental implant chosen. Nowadays, there are fast-healing implants that can heal in 1 month under ideal conditions. So if you want to complete your treatment more quickly, opt for implants with nanotechnology!

Dental implants are certainly a very safe and effective dental procedure! However, as with any health procedure, there are always risks, however minimal. Find out what they are:

  • Excessive bleeding: In some situations, there may be more obvious bleeding in the implant surgery area. Normally, if this happens, the implant dentist acts to stop the bleeding. However, for patients who use anticoagulants, it is always advisable to stop taking them a few days beforehand.
  • Infection: In fections are very rare in the dental implant procedure, as the patient is given antibiotics to take before and after surgery
  • Poor osseointegration: In some cases, the implant may not heal as expected. In addition, smoking and poor hygiene compromise implant healing.
  • Incorrect implant positioning: If the implant dentist is inexperienced, there may be aesthetic or functional problems due to incorrect implant positioning. Is

It’s worth noting that the chances of a successful dental implant are very high. The procedure is therefore very safe and the chances of complications are minimal!

Care immediately after placing a dental implant

During the first two days, which are the immediate post-dental implant period, it is recommended to remain at rest. In addition, we can summarize the recommendations of:

  • Apply ice to the face to prevent swelling
  • Food / what to eat? Eat cold or icy foods. For example: ice cream, açaí, gelatine, juices, vitamins, soups. We can also recommend that these foods do not contain grains or particles. Also prefer soft or pasty foods. Above all, do not chew hard foods.
  • Do not eat foods with irritating potential (spicy, acidic, salty, fizzy or hot).
  • Avoid physical exertion
  • No mouthwashes (even for 7 days)
  • Sanitize the area with a cotton swab moistened with an antiseptic solution (Periogard, Listerine, Plax).
  • Normal brushing of other teeth
  • Wear prostheses or braces for as short a time as possible
  • Take medication as directed by the dentist
  • Avoid the sun and hot environments

In addition to this care, follow the specific instructions provided by your dental surgeon, as each case may have individual needs. As the osseointegration process takes between 1 and 6 months, it is essential that the patient follows the specific care instructions for each stage of the process. This will certainly enable them to obtain the best results and avoid any complications during treatment.

Post-operative implant care

The intensity and duration of recovery after dental implant surgery obviously depends on the extent of the procedure, the technique used and the type of implant used. In general, the post-operative period is fairly uneventful. The patient should follow the guidelines and take the recommended medication: antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and analgesics.

Total rest period (rest days after dental implant):

  1. Light activities (7 to 10 days): Rest is recommended for light activities during the first week, which can be extended to 10 days.
  2. Gradual return to normal activities (up to 3 weeks): The patient is instructed to gradually return to normal activities, which may take up to 3 weeks.

Implant cost. How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

First of all, it’s important to bear in mind that when it comes to quality dental treatment, the price of a dental implant can’ t always be the deciding factor, but rather the quality of the treatment. For this reason, it is essential that the patient assesses the technical knowledge of the professionals, their qualifications, as well as their years of practice and the type of treatment proposed.

There are certainly several options for materials and techniques that influence the composition of a budget. Already at the initial consultation, patients can find out how much their treatment will cost. If the patient is far away, in another state, city or abroad, it is possible to plan your dental implant surgery remotely, with an online consultation with Dr. Roberto Markarian, director of the ImplArt Clinic.

At the ImplArt Dental Clinic, the patient will also be evaluated by Dr. Roberto Markarian, an implant dentist.

Dr. Roberto Markarian holds important academic degrees such as a Master’s, Doctorate and Specialist in Prosthodontics and Implantology. After the evaluation, with a definition of the type of implant and prosthesis chosen, it will be possible to draw up a complete budget for the treatment.

Myths and truths about dental implants

After all, do dental implants hurt? This is certainly the biggest fear of anyone who needs a dental implant. However, we’re going to show you that nowadays, modern resources make the surgery more pleasant, with a more relaxed post-operative period! In addition, we’ll talk a little about the types of prostheses and the myths that exist.

Find out if the implant causes any pain and learn some myths and truths about the procedure:

1. Do porcelain prostheses on both arches make noise?

Myth! Total implant treatment, called a protocol prosthesis, is characterized by the creation of dental implants that will receive a fixed prosthesis resting on them. There is a myth that porcelain prostheses on implants in both arches could generate noise when they collide during chewing or speaking. It’s worth clarifying that implant-supported prostheses, when properly adjusted, will definitely not make noise when they touch each other during speech or chewing.

Read more: Do porcelain dentures on both arches make noise? Myth!

2. Are porcelain implants heavy?

One misconception that some people have about dental implant prostheses is that porcelain or ceramic prostheses can be heavy. Dental implants are designed to withstand the very high forces produced by chewing, so there’s nothing to worry about. The weight of the dental prosthesis will be irrelevant compared to the strength of the implant. The dental implant that will receive the fixed prosthesis will be ready to receive any type of dental prosthesis you choose.

Therefore, if you can, opt for modern Translucent Zirconia or Porcelain prostheses– the results are worth it. These materials certainly offer high durability, as well as superior aesthetic results compared to resin prostheses, which are made from plastic material.

Read more: Let’s dispel the myth of heavy porcelain prostheses!

3. I no longer need to clean after having implants

Myth: Even those with dental implants should not neglect their oral hygiene. Regular cleaning aims to prevent the dreaded peri-implantitis, which can lead to the loss of the dental implant. So keep up your brushing and flossing at home, and go to the dentist every 6 months for a prophylaxis!

4. I can chew normally after dental implant surgery

True. Although care must be taken during the first few days, within 7 days of the surgery, the gums have usually healed and the patient is able to eat normally again. Of course, it is expected that throughout the process of osseointegration of the implants, the patient will have to follow specific precautions. However, once the implants have healed and the final prosthesis has been made, the patient will be able to chew and eat normally!

5. The body may not accept the implant and reject it

Myth: Dental implants are made of inert materials, and this applies to both titanium and zirconia implants. In cases where osseointegration does not occur as expected, the reasons should be investigated. It is worth noting that one of the main reasons is smoking and lack of post-surgical care, such as proper hygiene. It should be noted that patients who smoke greatly increase the chances of implant failure.

Do dental implants hurt?

Do dental implants hurt? Many people stop improving their smile believing that dental implant surgery is painful. The reality is that advances in techniques mean that dental implant surgeries today are less and less invasive, avoiding excessive tissue damage, pain and discomfort.

See also: Do implants hurt or not?

Dental implant surgery has become increasingly simple, and surgical techniques and prior planning, such as computerized tomography, for example, make the implant procedure much more predictable.

In addition, the surgery is always performed under local anesthesia to make it painless. Electronic anesthesia can also be used, with a feature that makes even the sting of anesthesia painless. Of course, the ImplArt Dental Clinic uses various techniques to reduce discomfort during surgery and make the recovery period more peaceful.

One of the techniques is that Clinica Dentaria ImplArt performs computer-guided dental implant surgery. This is undoubtedly an innovative technique that avoids unnecessary cuts and damage to bone and gum tissue

So if you’ve been putting off your implant surgery because you think dental implants hurt, you don’t have to worry about that! We’ll show you that Clinica ImplArt uses all the modern resources available to make your implant surgery go much more smoothly!

Full Arch Dental Implants: what is it, how it works and how it looks

I’m sure many of you have heard of the Full Arch Dental Implants treatment. But do you know how the treatment works? Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis treatment involves two stages, one surgical, with the insertion of dental implants, and the other prosthetic, with the realization of the fixed prosthesis on the implants. It can be carried out on both the upper and lower arches. This treatment is also known as All-on-4, All-on-6 or even All-on-X.

Through simple and painless surgery, implants are inserted that will support a fixed prosthesis. Normally 4 to 6 implants are inserted in each arch. The surgery is carried out in an office and the patient can go home immediately afterwards. There are modalities with local anesthesia, or with intravenous sedation, if the patient prefers.

Here at ImplArt Dental Clinic, located in São Paulo, Brazil, there is also the option of performing dental implant surgery using the computerized guided surgery technique. This technique eliminates the need to make large cuts and sutures in the gums, making the post-operative period for implants easier and therefore faster to recover from. The surgical guide acts as a template with indications of where the incisions should be made to place the dental implants. The surgical guide is custom-made according to the patient’s computerized tomography images, using a 3D printing method.

See images of the Full Arch Dental Implants below

See below for this treatment with an upper Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis and a lower Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis. Firstly, implant surgery was carried out and a temporary fixed prosthesis installed on the day of surgery. Secondly, after the dental implants had healed, we made the Zirconia Prosthesis a fixed over the implants.

Implant-Supported Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis, what is it?

The Implant-Supported Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis is a type of total fixed dental prosthesis that is indicated for people who have lost all their teeth in the same arch. It consists of 12 to 14 teeth attached to a single structure screwed onto 4 to 6 strategically placed dental implants.

A full-arch-dental-implant treatment provides a quick and efficient solution for oral rehabilitation. All-on-X treatment certainly provides surprising aesthetic and functional results that help restore the natural appearance of the smile and consequently improve self-esteem.

How does the full-arch-prosthesis work?

The first step is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Roberto Markarian, who will first carry out a thorough assessment of the patient’s oral and general health and habits.

It will also be necessary to carry out a radiographic examination, which is a computerized tomography scan, to visualize the volume of bone and its quality. This is essential for planning the number of implants that will be placed in the bone, both in the upper and lower arches.

When is Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis recommended?

Firstly, fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis is recommended for patients who wear dentures, and for those who suffer from periodontitis or severe periodontal disease.

It is important that, even if the patient suffers from periodontitis, the disease is controlled by eliminating any sources of infection (plaque, tartar, calculus) and controlling gingivitis.

Thus, if the disease is well controlled and the bone is healthy, there is the possibility of replacing the extracted teeth with dental implants.

It is common for a patient, on receiving a poor prognosis for a tooth, to want to save it at all costs. Although in some cases it is possible to save a tooth with compromised periodontal structures, in most cases an experienced professional will be correct in recommending extraction and placement of a dental implant.

How do you change from dentures to a Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis? Full Arch Dental Implants Prothesis

You may be wondering: how do I know if I can have my dentures replaced with implants with a fixed prosthesis?

People who have been wearing dentures for many years can experience a lot of bone loss in the jawbone, and this is a common concern for people who would like to have implants placed in order to wear a fixed prosthesis. Alternatively, we perform various bone grafting techniques, or use short implants designed for those with bone resorption.

Undeniably, it is always a great relief for patients to change their dentures for Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis. We, who specialize in this type of full-arch-dental implants treatment, follow the changes in the daily lives of patients every day, who are able to increase their quality of life with this treatment. Therefore, replacing dentures with implants only has benefits!

The difference between a Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis and a removable denture

The Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis provides stability when chewing and total confidence for the patient, since there is no need to remove it for daily hygiene. Patients report at the end of their treatment that they eat much better and have much more confidence in smiling, which brings great social gains to the patient’s life. It is therefore an important step for patients towards improving their quality of life.

Who can have All-on-X or Full Arch Dental Implants treatment?

Anyone can have a Full Arch Dental Implants treatment. First of all, the patient must have a panoramic X-ray and a computerized tomography scan to assess the bone in the area that will receive the dental implant. Even patients with diabetes, in most cases, can receive implants as long as their diabetes is under control. So don’t be alarmed if you have diabetes, implants could be a solution for you too. Of course, this is after a careful assessment of your health condition.

Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis treatment covers a wide range of patients of different ages. Elderly people can also have the procedure. Each case must be evaluated in detail so that the procedure is always safe and promotes the patient’s well-being.

In your initial consultation with our clinical director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, you will receive all the guidelines for your All-on-X treatment.

What are the advantages of the Full Arch Dental Implants?

When the use of a mobile prosthesis causes discomfort, be it functional, aesthetic or sensory, there is the opportunity to replace it with a fixed version. See the advantages of protocol treatment on implants:

  • Does not move and does not require adhesives for fixing
  • Does not fall, avoiding embarrassing experiences
  • The prosthesis materials are more beautiful and resistant, especially metal-free zirconia prostheses.
  • Does not hurt gums and mucous membranes
  • Safer chewing, smiling and kissing
  • Improves diction
  • No acrylic roof of the mouth, improving speech and food tasting
  • Increases lip support, improving the appearance of a thin lip.

Which material is the Fixed Implant-Supported Prosthesis made of?

Here at Clinica Dentaria Implart you will find a wide range of materials for your prosthesis. From the simplest in Resin, through Metal-Ceramic (Porcelain), to the most modern prosthesis in Zirconia.

Do you know Zirconia, this innovative material for full arch prosthesis? Full Arch Dental implant Prosthesis in Zirconia are possible with this innovative computerized material. It is therefore an excellent choice for those looking for an aesthetically pleasing and durable material. What’s more, its computerized design system offers more precision, as well as greater comfort through the use of the 3D scanner.

Types of materials for All-on-6 prosthesis

Translucent zirconia prosthesis for implant-supported prosthesis

Translucent zirconia is an implant-supported prosthetic option made using an extremely advanced production method. Based on digital intraoral molding, the zirconia prosthesis is computer-designed and manufactured on 3D printers. In other words, the zirconia disc placed in the 3D printer is milled into the shape of the computerized design. This is certainly the most modern and resistant option, as well as the most beautiful and realistic.

Zirconia prosthesis / Pure porcelain (metal free)

It is an opaque white ceramic structure called zirconia, covered with dental porcelain. In this way, the aesthetics are sculpted in porcelain with the shape of the teeth. It is also a new and technologically innovative material, as the structure of the prosthesis is completely planned on a computer and executed with the help of electronic scanners and 3D printers.

Metal-ceramic full arch prosthesis (porcelain + metal)

This is a prosthesis with an internal metal structure (titanium, Ni-Cr or Cr-Co) and an aesthetic porcelain finish that is hand-sculpted to the shape of the teeth. Metal-ceramic prostheses therefore have the advantage of porcelain strength and aesthetics. As a result, the final result is aesthetically and beautifully similar to natural teeth.

Resin Full Arch Prosthesis (acrylic resin + metal)

Also known as the Bränemark prosthesis, this is another option available for implant-supported prosthesis. This model of prosthesis has an internal metal structure and an aesthetic resin finish. The teeth are made of resin and you can choose the color, shape and size of the teeth.

However, this material has a disadvantage compared to the previous ones, which is the possibility of color change (yellowing) over time.

What care should be taken after full arch dental implant surgery?

After dental implant surgery, the total recovery period may vary at the discretion of the implant specialist, with a view to the success of the procedure. Therefore, the implant dentist, Dr. Roberto Markarian, will guide you according to the criteria of the type and extent of the surgery.

How many days of rest after implant surgery?

Total rest period after surgery (rest days after dental implant):

  1. Light activities (7 to 10 days): Rest is recommended for light activities during the first week, which can be extended to 10 days.
  2. Gradual return to normal activities (up to 3 weeks): The patient is instructed to gradually return to normal activities, which may take up to 3 weeks.

Will I lose my prosthesis after implant surgery?

Rest assured, the main concern of the entire team here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic is to make the whole process as comfortable as possible for the patient. In this way, the psychological aspect and the patient’s well-being are paramount. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, we plan a temporary prosthesis that is installed immediately after surgery. The patient is therefore able to carry out their activities normally while we wait for the implants to osseointegrate.

New techniques – Zirconia total implants

Zirconia Total Implant: Natural and resistant Implant Supported Prosthesis

Dental implants with zirconia prosthesis are recommended for various clinical cases, such as bruxism, because zirconia’s resistance is superior to any other material. The material is a star in dental practices due to its versatility and the possibility of bringing a better appearance to the mouth, especially after the tooth has been darkened by root canal treatments or dental trauma, with a great loss of dental function and aesthetics. So, if possible, opt for Zirconia!

How to sanitize a zirconia full arch prosthesis?

People who have received fixed prosthesis implants using the branemark should pay special attention to cleaning and oral hygiene in order to avoid problems. These include bad breath and even peri-implantitis (infection around the implant which can lead to mobility or even permanent loss). Therefore, a regular visit to the dentist every 6 months to have the implant supported prosthesis professionally cleaned is essential. Prophylaxis plays a very important role in maintaining oral and implant health!

To clean the fixed implant supported prosthesis at home, the patient can use the interdental brush, in addition to the traditional toothbrush, which is effective and sufficient in the external regions. However, for the areas inside the prosthesis, around the implants or on the mucosa, interdental brushes and oral irrigators (pressurized water jets) are the most suitable. Certainly the best known of these devices is the Waterpik. These devices are certainly not easily found in Brazil, but in the United States they are sold in any pharmacy.

This way, with regular visits to the dentist every 6 months and proper hygiene of the fixed prosthesis at home, you’ll have a long-lasting and healthy treatment!

Sanitize the protocol prosthesis daily with waterpik

How to sanitize the fixed prosthesis / cleaning?

Care with the hygiene of the implant supported prosthesis is mainly to remove any food residue that may remain between the implant pins and the prosthesis (as in the image above), and to avoid the formation and accumulation of bacterial plaque on the surface of the prosthesis.

What is the best Full Arch Dental Implant Prosthesis?

Zirconia is the most modern material for dental prosthesis today. Zirconia is an advanced ceramic material, considered super realistic, which has become increasingly well-known in dentistry in recent years, especially for prostheses on dental implants.

It is also called Monolithic Zirconia, because it is made from a solid block of Zirconia that takes the shape of a dental prosthesis using a modern computerized system. The Translucent Zirconia prosthesis is made using 3D printers, a highly technological system. First of all, it’s worth clarifying that zirconia is a type of porcelain that replaces metal in dental treatments, as it offers a more natural and translucent appearance, without the presence of shadows, as happens in prostheses that use metal

In the ImplArt Clinic’s digital prosthesis laboratory, impressive robotic arms, which are present in modern milling equipment, are responsible for sculpting the prosthesis design previously drawn up on the computer. The design is certainly impressive as it uses only computerized systems for both its design and printing

It’s certainly a very modern system, which makes it possible to achieve aesthetically superior results in a more agile, fast and precise way. What’s more, zirconia is biocompatible with the human body, which means that the patient runs no risk of allergies or rejection.

What is the difference between a All-on-X prosthesis and an overdenture?

While in the implant supported prosthesis is fixed on 4 to 6 implants, in the overdenture the prosthesis is fixed on only 2 implants. As a result, the overdenture does not have the same stability as the All-on-X prosthesis. Therefore, the best alternative is the Full Arch Dental Implant Prosthesis.

How much does an upper Full Arch Dental Implant Prothesis cost? How much does a lower Full Arch Dental Implant prosthesis cost?

First of all, it’s important to bear in mind that when it comes to quality dental treatments, the price of the dental implant prosthesis 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 all prosthesis and dental implant treatments are 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 who are in line with modern trends in implant dentistry have their value.

Remember that the effort put into qualification that the professional has put in throughout their career makes a direct difference to the outcome of your treatment! In addition, there are different types of materials, as mentioned above, from implants to different types of prostheses. Just to give you an example, here are the types of materials for implant supported prosthesis – Translucent Zirconia, Zirconia, Metal-Ceramic and Resin. The choice of prosthesis material, as well as the type of implant, will certainly influence the price of the Full Arch Dental Implants prosthesis. In this sense, we have various types of implants, from national implants to imported Straumann implants, a world reference in the field of implants.

Where can I have the Full Arch Dental Implants treatment?

Zirconia is the Most Modern Material for Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis with Dental Implants

Zirconia is the most modern material for dental prostheses today, even for full arch implant prostheses. Zirconia is an advanced ceramic material, considered super realistic, which has become increasingly well-known in dentistry in recent years, especially for prostheses on dental implants.

It is also called Monolithic Zirconia, as it is made from a solid block of Zirconia that is shaped into a dental prosthesis using a modern computerized system. In the ImplArt Clinic’s digital prosthesis laboratory, impressive robotic arms, present in modern milling equipment, are responsible for sculpting the prosthesis design previously drawn up on the computer.

It’s certainly a very modern system that allows you to achieve aesthetically superior results in a more agile, fast and precise way.

This set of factors certainly makes Zirconia the most modern material for full arch prostheses, fixed prostheses and dental crowns.

Below is the result of a treatment with a Zirconia full arch prosthesis for a patient who came all the way from the United States to undergo treatment at the ImplArt Clinic.

What are the characteristics of the Zirconia prosthesis?

There are several reasons why zirconia is the most modern material for making dental prostheses:

  1. Aesthetics: Zirconia prostheses are highly aesthetic and can be customized to mimic the natural appearance of teeth, with a translucency similar to that of tooth enamel. In addition, Zirconia does not fade or discolor over time, which guarantees a long-lasting aesthetic result.
  2. Biocompatibility: Zirconia is a biocompatible material, which means that it doesn’t cause allergic reactions or inflammation in the patient’s soft tissue or bone. This is especially important for prostheses on dental implants, where the integration of the implant with the bone is crucial to the success of the treatment.
  3. Resistance: Zirconia combines beauty and resistance, which guarantees its long-term durability. It has a high resistance to fracture and wear, which is important for dental prostheses that need to withstand chewing and the forces of the mouth.
  4. Precision: Zirconia can be manufactured with high precision in our digital prosthetics laboratory thanks to CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology. This guarantees a precise fit and a restoration that fits perfectly with the dental implants and adjacent teeth.
  5. Hygiene: Zirconia is a material that does not accumulate plaque, which means it is easier to clean and keep hygienic than other denture materials.

In short, Zirconia is a modern and advanced material for protocol prostheses on dental implants, offering a unique combination of aesthetics, biocompatibility , strength, precision and hygiene. Of course, it’s important to remember that the choice of prosthesis material must be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the dentist, taking into account the individual needs and characteristics of each patient. But don’t worry, this will be covered in your initial consultation with the clinical director of the ImplArt Dental Clinic, Dr. Roberto Markarian, implant dentist.

Total implant with Zirconia Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis, how does it work?

Total implant treatment, also known as“all-on-four” or “all-on-six”, is a technique in which dental implants are installed in the mouth to support a complete prosthesis that replaces all the teeth in a dental arch. This type of treatment is especially useful for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, as it allows for a complete restoration of chewing function and aesthetics. It is certainly a rehabilitative treatment, as it allows the patient to get rid of the use of removable prostheses, the old dentures.

The full arch implant prosthesis is a fixed prosthesis on dental implants that can be used to replace all the teeth in an arch. The prosthesis is fixed to the implants with screws or cemented into position, and can only be removed by the dentist for maintenance. The fixed implant prosthesis is a great option for patients looking for an aesthetic and functional restoration, as it is comfortable, durable and offers a natural appearance.

Zirconia is the most modern material for Full Mouth Reconstruction with dental implants

Zirconia is a material widely used in dental implant protocol prostheses due to its aesthetic properties, resistance and biocompatibility. Zirconia complete arch prostheses are a more advanced option compared to other materials such as acrylic, as they offer a more natural appearance and greater durability. In addition, Zirconia is highly resistant to stains and abrasion, which means that the prosthesis can maintain its color and shape over time.

The Zirconia full arch prosthesis also allows for a more precise fit and a more comfortable adaptation, thanks to CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology, which allows for more precise and personalized manufacturing of the prosthesis. This means that the Zirconia protocol prosthesis can be perfectly adjusted to the dental implants and the space available in the patient’s mouth, providing an ideal aesthetic and functional restoration.

In addition, we should mention that the use of these 3D resources allows the entire treatment to be carried out without the old putty molds, which were so uncomfortable and became obsolete with the arrival of Zirconia. In this way, the entire treatment is carried out using a 3D digital scanner, which is the starting point for designing the new smile.

In summary, the Zirconia All-on-X prosthesis is an excellent option for patients who need a complete restoration of the dental arch, offering a natural appearance, durability and comfort, as well as precision of fit and ideal adaptation. Undeniably, all these characteristics make Zirconia the most modern material for protocol prostheses, dental crowns or fixed prostheses.

The ImplArt Dental Clinic specializes in implant dentistry and dental prostheses, and offers advanced and personalized treatments for its patients. The Zirconia full arch prosthesis is one of the treatments offered by the clinic, using high quality materials and advanced technology. We always strive to offer modern, metal-free dental treatments.

At the ImplArt Dental Clinic, the Zirconia protocol prosthesis is made by a team of experienced and qualified professionals who use modern techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to guarantee the precision and quality of the treatment. The Clinic has a multidisciplinary team led by PHD Dr. Roberto Markarian, an implant dentist. It is made up of specialist prosthodontists, trained to provide complete and humanized care.

Treatment begins with a careful assessment of the patient’s oral condition and the choice of the best type of implant for each case. This is followed by implant surgery, where the implants are placed in the patient’s mouth. After a period of osseointegration, in which the implants integrate with the bone, the Zirconia protocol prosthesis is installed.

The prosthesis is manufactured using CAD/CAM technology, which allows for a precise fit and ideal adaptation. The zirconia used in the prosthesis is of high quality, resistance and aesthetics, guaranteeing a long-lasting and natural result. The prosthesis is fixed to the implants with screws or cemented in position, providing optimum stability and security.

ImplArt Dental Clinic offers complete treatment follow-up, with regular maintenance appointments and oral hygiene care. The clinic’s team of professionals is always on hand to answer questions and provide personalized, high-quality care.

Dental Implants at ImplArt Dental Clinic Specializing in Dental Implants

Get to know the ImplArt Dental Clinic, a specialist dental implant clinic in São Paulo. Clinica Dentaria ImplArt has a complete team and structure for you to carry out your implant surgery with peace of mind and high-quality materials.
We offer the most modern treatments with a structure ready to receive the patient according to high international standards. In addition, we offer the best brands of dental implants for you to choose from, various types of implants and the best team of specialists in implant dentistry. So if you’re looking for an implant clinic that works with high technology and modern materials, you’re in the right place!

It’s important to know that there are different types ofdental implants, and that they are not all the same. The Swiss brand Straumann offers fast-healing dental implants, as well as the latest white implant, the ceramic dental implant. The zirconia implant is the only non-titanium implant, and is therefore an option for those looking for a metal-free dental implant treatment.

Implants can have different healing times, so it’s important to choose which one to use before surgery. Osseintegration times for dental implants can vary from 1 to 6 months. Therefore, choosing the ideal type of dental implant is very important, because once implanted, the healing period for each implant must be respected. With Clinica Dentaria ImplArt, aclinic specializing in implants, you will certainly have all these options at your fingertips!

Fast healing dental implant

Fast-healing dental implants, full-mouth implants, zirconia prostheses, ceramic protocols and dental contact lenses make the ImplArt dental clinic much more than just a specialist implant clinic. We take care of our patients’ oral health as a whole, offering the most modern techniques available in dentistry today. Our clinical director, dental surgeon and implant dentist, Dr. Roberto Markarian, is a reference in dental implants and modern computerized prostheses.

For those who want a quick implant treatment, the ideal is to use the Slactive dental implant from the Swiss brand Straumann and a fixed prosthesis in Zirconia or a dental crown in Cerec Pure Porcelain. Both materials are completely made using computer graphics and a 3D printer. Because they use modern computerized systems, the Translucent Zirconia fixed prosthesis speeds up implant treatment, even if it is a protocol prosthesis. In this way, the treatment, even if it is a protocol prosthesis, is more precise and faster because it requires fewer treatment steps.

Dental implants – Quality of life and self-esteem back

What are dental implants and dental implant clinics?

This is a titanium or all-ceramic post (Straumann or Neodent ceramic implant ), which is surgically placed in the jawbone and has the function of replacing the root of a lost tooth. Tooth loss can occur as a result of trauma, tooth decay, gum infection or periodontal disease.

In these cases, after the dental implant has been installed, a dental prosthesis is attached which has the function and appearance of a tooth.

Treatment at the ImplArt Dental Clinic, which specializes in dental implants, aims to restore masticatory function, oral health and the aesthetics of the smile, giving people back their quality of life and self-esteem.

Treatment with dental implant pins is more efficient than treatment with conventional removable prostheses, known as dentures, and provides much more comfort for the patient, both when smiling and chewing.

Currently, for those looking for a metal-free treatment, either due to metal allergies or preference, the combination of ceramic implant and porcelain crown, or computerized Pure Zirconia, are ideal.

As we are a clinic specializing in dental implants, we have all the support we can offer patients, and a wide range of implant types.

As we are a clinic specializing in implants, we have the knowledge and know-how to identify the most diverse types of implants in patients who may have already had their surgery elsewhere and don’t know which implant was used.

Do dental implants last forever? How is the osseointegration of the titanium dental implant?

As soon as the dental implant screw is placed, there is a phenomenon of progressive healing of the titanium surface with the bone, called osseointegration.

The osseointegration of the dental implant takes place through the formation of calcium on the surface of the implant, which occurs through delicate and complex biological and molecular phenomena. The healing time of the dental implant will depend on the type chosen, and will be confirmed by the implant specialist, implant dentist. Here you will have all the information you need for your implant, because we are a specialist implant clinic, with knowledge and vast experience in implant dentistry.

However, the time until the implant is sufficiently integrated can vary depending on a number of factors:

Healthy osseointegration is therefore responsible for the stability of dental implants and fixed dental prostheses, offering patients the security and comfort to chew, speak and smile. External factors such as smoking and poor oral health can hinder implant osseointegration.

It is certainly expected that the dental implant will last forever, i.e. once osseointegration has taken place, in healthy patients, it should remain integrated into the bone.

Advantages of dental implants

The experience of having fixed teeth with implants is far superior to using an uncomfortable mobile prosthesis. A tooth implant will receive the fixed prosthesis, and will also not require frequent or specific maintenance.

In the case of total implants, the brushing technique should be improved according to the instructions given by the dentist specializing in dental implants. Dental implants can be recommended for almost anyone who suffers from missing teeth, whether a few teeth or all the teeth in an arch.

However, each implant case needs to be assessed individually in order to plan the most appropriate treatment. However, the good news is that ImplArt is a specialist dental implant clinic that has the expertise and knowledge of the most modern techniques to solve missing teeth.

We have the experience to solve the most difficult cases of oral rehabilitation, using surgical or prosthetic techniques. See examples of before and after with osseointegrated implants at ImplArt, a clinic specializing in implants.

single implant

Single tooth implant – one tooth

Single-tooth implants have great advantages and should be used whenever possible, preferably with same-day surgery if there is bone in the same place as the tooth extraction.

  • Neighboring teeth remain intact
  • The new crown is attached directly to the implant, which makes it possible to floss like a natural tooth
  • Excellentaesthetic and functionalresults
  • Ease of treatment, as the prosthetic components are prefabricated
  • 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.

Partial dental implant – several teeth

Losing multiple teeth can affect your ability to chew, as well as the beauty of your smile. Certainly the best option for replacing several teeth is the placement of dental implants and the fixing of a dental prosthesis.

Partial dental implants are recommended for people who have lost some teeth in between or in the same area of the mouth. A partial implant treatment is a much more efficient alternative to a conventional bridge.

Fixed prostheses on dental implants offer better aesthetic results compared to removable prostheses, dentures, and are important for preventing bone resorption and preserving oral health.

Dental implants for all teeth – total or complete

Total dental implants are recommended for people who have lost all their teeth. The loss of all teeth usually occurs due to periodontal disease or a combination of caries and inadequate oral hygiene.

There are strategies for replacing the teeth of an entire arch with a fixed prosthesis (also known as a protocol prosthesis) or a removable prosthesis (overdenture), but fixed prostheses are the most commonly used.

In an all-tooth dental implant treatment, the pins are strategically distributed through the bone of the dental arch in order to provide sufficient support for the planned dental prosthesis.

ImplArt is a clinic specializing in dental implants carried out with computerized planning of guided total implant surgery. The fixed total implant treatment is capable of giving patients the incredible sensation of chewing and speaking safely and comfortably.

The fixed dental prosthesis attached to the implants should also improve the aesthetics of the patient’s smile, which ultimately improves their self-esteem.

immediate loading single implant

Immediate loading for dental implants

Due to scientific advances, it is now possible, in selected cases, to go into the office without teeth and leave at the end of the day with all your teeth fixed on dental implants (temporary prosthesis).

This technology, known as immediate loading, provides patients with great satisfaction due to its rapid results. In short, immediately loaded implants can be used in the following cases:

When can immediate loading be performed?

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

Therefore, the immediate loading technique depends on certain conditions in the patient’s dental arch and general oral health. These conditions are assessed individually during your consultation with the implant dentist.

The patient is never left without teeth during implant treatment. A temporary dental prosthesis is designed to offer greater comfort and aesthetics.

Different implant pin models can advance or delay healing and therefore the delivery of the definitive prosthesis. Discover the fastest implants currently available from the Swiss brand Straumann.

Fixed dental prosthesis on implants – types of materials

Implant treatment is the main form of aesthetic and functional rehabilitation for patients who have lost their teeth.

The absence of one or more teeth compromises chewing, speech and the aesthetics of the smile, so a fixed prosthesis on implants is capable of restoring the edentulous person’s security and self-esteem. In summary, rehabilitation basically goes through 3 relevant phases:

We therefore have a variety of materials that can be used to make a permanent dental prosthesis:

zirconia total prosthesis

fixed prosthesis in applied zirconia
1 – Internal zirconia structure. 2 – Prosthesis finished with porcelain

Pure porcelain fixed prosthesis for dental implants – Translucent zirconia (metal free)

It is a white ceramic structure called zirconia, covered with an aesthetic porcelain sculpted to the shape of the teeth.

It is therefore a new and technologically innovative material, as the prosthesis is completely designed on a computer and made with the help of electronic scanners and 3D printers. The zirconia fixed prosthesis is the material that offers the best aesthetic result because it does not contain metals in its composition.

Zirconia is a porcelain that has characteristics that are equally comparable to natural teeth, including shade, translucency and resistance.

zirconia

Metal-ceramic prosthesis on dental implants (porcelain + metal)

This is a prosthesis with an internal metal structure (titanium, Ni-Cr or Cr-Co) and an aesthetic porcelain finish that is hand-sculpted in the shape of the teeth. The result is the strength and aesthetics of porcelain, which leaves the prosthesis with aesthetics and beauty similar to natural teeth.

Although it has a small disadvantage compared to pure porcelain prostheses (which is the possibility of a grayish line appearing at the level of the gums, if the patient suffers some gum recession over time, which can lead to an aesthetic compromise in the smile).

The porcelain prosthesis (ceramic protocol) has advantages over the resin prosthesis, such as better durability and resistance to wear, as well as no color changes over time.

metal-plastic resin prosthesis
Protocol dentures for all upper and lower teeth – Resin dentures

Fixed resin prosthesis on dental implant (resin + metal) – Acrylic

Also known as the Bränemark protocol prosthesis, this model has an internal metal structure and an aesthetic resin finish. The teeth are made of resin and you can choose the color, shape and size of the teeth.

However, this material has a disadvantage compared to previous ones, which is the possibility of color change (yellowing) over time. The choice of prosthesis material should be made jointly by the dentist and patient.

Do dental implants hurt or not?

The dental implant procedure is easier than you might think and doesn’t hurt a bit! Due to advances in techniques, dental implant surgery today is less invasive, avoiding excess tissue damage, pain and discomfort.

During the surgery, the patient feels no pain because it is performed under local anesthesia. In addition, ImplArt uses techniques that reduce discomfort during surgery and make the recovery period more peaceful.

Some of the techniques that ImplArt Odontologia performs include computer-guided dental implant surgery, all-on-4 total implants, and less painful anesthesia. In short, it avoids unnecessary cuts and damage to bone and gum tissue.

ImplArt also uses Piezosurgery surgical ultrasound, which cuts through hard tissues such as bone and preserves soft tissues such as gums, nerves, membranes and blood vessels.

In this way, the system allows the surgeon greater surgical precision and better visibility during surgery, as well as avoiding risks in the dental implant. See more photos of work carried out at ImplArt by clicking here.

The best brands and types of dental implants

There are several brands and models of dental implants available in Brazil, and for each application there is an ideal model. At ImplArt we use certified materials.

Come in for a consultation and we’ll find out which implant is best for you. See below for interesting articles on some types of tooth implants:

Are you afraid of dental implants?

Believe me, dental implant surgery is easier than you might think and there’s really nothing to be afraid of.

Dentistry has come a long way with the use of less invasive techniques to offer patient comfort and, above all, ImplArt has incorporated today’s most effective techniques into its practice to minimize any discomfort.

ImplArt is always in line with the latest developments in the world of dentistry. It uses advanced techniques to ensure that its patients have a quiet, minimally invasive, comfortable and painless surgery.

Get to know our resources and see that it’s worth doing your aesthetic and functional oral rehabilitation with dental implants, without fear.

Humanized treatment with a dental implant specialist and care for those who need teeth implanted

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

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

We are ready to listen to your needs in implant dentistry and oral rehabilitation

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

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

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

computerized guided implant surgery
Computer-guided implants are available at our clinic

Guided dental implant surgery – less invasive and faster

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

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

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

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

Deep sedation for implant surgery

Sedation is a technique indicated for those who are very afraid of the dentist, afraid of feeling pain, as well as the noise of the motor, the needle, blood, etc. It allows the patient’s level of consciousness to decrease during the surgical procedure.

But sedation does not affect the ability to breathe and respond to physical stimulation and verbal commands. An anesthesiologist applies a sedative drug intravenously before the procedure.

The patient then falls asleep, but is continuously accompanied by the doctor and monitoring devices as the surgery takes place. In practice, it’s like a deep, relaxing sleep for the patient.

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

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

There is another form of gas sedation (nitrous oxide), which we do not use at ImplArt. In our experience, gas sedation is very superficial and is not effective for patients who are truly “afraid”.

* Don’t confuse sedation with general anesthesia. General anesthesia is much more complex and can only be done in hospital.

day clinic implart

Dental Day Clinic with dental implant specialist – Faster treatments

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

Intensive treatment is a great relief for those who are afraid of implants, because they spend less time in the dental implant specialist’s office in order to solve their problem. However, the most important thing is to carry out as many procedures as possible in the shortest possible time.

ImplArt is a modern specialist clinic with a complete structure for this purpose. Digital dentistry techniques, computerized molds and fabrication of teeth, our own laboratory and trained staff speed up treatment.

Below are photos of some of the treatments carried out at the ImplArt Clinic, which specializes in implants

The photos are of cases of Zirconia protocol prosthesis, upper protocol prosthesis, lower protocol prosthesis, computerized dental crown.

Price and value of dental implant treatments and dental aesthetics │ Dental implant value and average price with dental implant specialist

We often receive calls, emails and messages from people asking about the prices or values of dental treatments, especially dental implants and prosthetic protocols.

However, we always try to explain that the value and price can only be answered through a dental consultation with a specialist in dental implants, an implant dentist. The ImplArt Dental Clinic specializes in dental implants and takes this matter very seriously.

How much is a dental implant? Do I find out the cost at the appointment?

There are two main reasons why values are explained live:

  • The first is that the Code of Ethics of the Federal Council of Dentistry prohibits dentists from providing consultations online – not in person. Nor can dentists advertise the price of dental treatment online, let alone the cost of dental implants. The practice of posting average prices on websites constitutes serious misconduct before the Dental Council.
  • Secondly, complex dental treatments such as implant dentistry can only be indicated after a careful assessment of the patient. It often happens that patients think they need teeth implanted, but in reality they first need braces, bone grafts or different types of dentures. Of course, different plans will lead to different values and prices.

What can influence treatment with a dental implant specialist?

There are numerous factors that influence the planning of a treatment. There are also various options for materials and techniques that influence the composition of a budget. In addition, a treatment that may be suitable for one person may not be the most appropriate for another.

An implant dentist is a professional who specializes in dental implants and is qualified to plan and carry out dental implants, as well as giving the necessary recommendations to keep teeth beautiful and healthy throughout life.

At Clínica Odontológica ImplArt, a clinic specializing in dental implants, we believe that dental treatment goes far beyond a simple monetary value.

There are important factors that influence the perception of value or cost-benefit, such as the health and well-being that healthy teeth provide, improved self-esteem and patient comfort during procedures.

In addition to the price, the relationship of trust between patient and dentist and our empathy for the patient are important, as they often bring with them anxieties, expectations, fear of implants, as well as trauma from previous experiences. How much does your smile cost you?

Clinica Dentaria Implart
ImplArt Dental Clinic – specialist dental implant clinic

What is the first consultation with a dental implant specialistlike ? Is there a charge?

Yes, we charge for the first consultation. The patient will be assessed by the clinic’s director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, a specialist in dental implants, who has extensive experience in treatments for functional and aesthetic oral rehabilitation, with dental implants as well as dental prostheses.

If necessary, the patient may be asked to undergo some radiological examinations in order to help with diagnosis and treatment planning. For your convenience, some of the main dental tests can be carried out within the specialist clinic (at a separate cost).

If you already have previous exams, bring all the recent ones (up to 1 year old) to your appointment, as they will be of great help.

My dentist doesn’t charge for implants, why do you?

We follow the rules of the CRO, the Regional Council of Dentistry, which specifies that dental services cannot be free, in the same way as medical consultations. Certainly, the culture in dentistry is changing and the number of dentists who charge for consultations is growing.

The dentist specializing in dental implants, implantodontist, who will be treating you has completed university studies and takes frequent postgraduate courses. Their time is valuable, as it is in other health professions. We also need to clarify that there is no such thing as a free dental implant.

Even in places where tooth implants are done at low cost, such as courses for dentists, the patient pays less, but there is always a price to pay.

Do you accept any dental plans that cover dental implants at ImplArt, a specialist in dental implants?

We are a clinic specializing in dental implants, used to receiving the most complex cases in dentistry.

However, we do accept plans for the reimbursement or free choice system. There are companies that offer their employees this system, in which they will later receive the amounts paid. In this way, we offer all the support that patients with dental plans may need to request reimbursement.

Most dental plans don’t offer cover for dental prosthesis, implants or aesthetic procedures, which are precisely the focus of our specialist clinic. However, we are able to offer the support that patients may need to request reimbursement for their dental treatment.

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.

zirconia
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.
zirconia
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.

Fast dental implants treatment with Slactive implant + pure zirconia or pure porcelain prosthesis

Is it possible to carry out my dental implant treatment quickly and have the permanent prosthesis fitted straight away? This is a very common question and we understand this demand of fast dental implants. Nowadays, time is increasingly valuable and scarce, which leads to a need to complete dental treatment quickly.

First of all, it’s important to note that technology and modern techniques allow us to offer treatment with fast-healing implants, as well as completely computerized crowns and prostheses. We are talking specifically about the modern Straumann Slactive implant combined with Emax pure porcelain or Pure Zirconia prostheses .

So let’s take a closer look below and find out more about these modern dental implants. Fortunately, there are now several types of quality dental implant to choose from. All to make your implant treatment faster and more comfortable. If you’re short of time, try using rapid implants and the computerized prosthesis preparation system. With them, treatment is faster and more agile because it requires fewer treatment steps. In addition, treatment becomes more predictable and offers better technical and aesthetic results.

Fast healing dental implants: is there such a thing?

In recent years there has been a significant advance in dental implant technology. This is an expected movement, since each person has a specific demand, and implantologists and implant manufacturers need to respond to these demands. The demand for fast dental implant treatment is constant, precisely because of today’s lifestyle.

That’s why today we have implants available that cater, for example, for cases of low bone volume with short implants. Or those with high aesthetic needs(white ceramic dental implants). Or even those with a high need for bone and gum preservation(bone level implants).

Metal-free ceramic rapid dental implant

What’s more, for those patients who want metal-free dental implant treatment, we have a combination of ceramic implants and modern zirconia implant crowns. This ceramic implant not only has the benefit of no metal, but also offers rapid healing. In the case of this implant, osseointegration is expected to take 2 months. There are currently two types of ceramic implant, the first is Straumann’s Pure Ceramic implant, and the second is Neodent’s Zi white ceramic implant.

But another major demand from people is undoubtedly to speed up their oral rehabilitation by reducing the time it takes to install implants and a permanent fixed prosthesis. Pure zirconia crowns help to reduce the total treatment time.

After much research, Straumann has developed an implant surface technology called Slactive. It favors and accelerates osseintegration (a term that defines the healing and fixation of implants in the bone). In some cases, the healing period can be reduced from 6 to 1 month.

Recent studies show an excellent clinical performance of SLActive implants, both in single tooth implant treatments and in total implant treatments, and even in those using bone grafting. This is an option chosen by those patients who want a fast dental implant treatment, and are keen to use the latest technology for their implant treatment.

The definitive prosthesis is fixed in a short time after the placement of rapid implants. In some cases, implants can be immediately loaded

Oral rehabilitation with implants usually follows a timetable which, in short, is as follows step by step:

1 – Planning for dental implant surgery, with panoramic radiography and computed tomography. In many cases, an intraoral scan (digital reading) is already carried out to generate the first 3D-printed provisional prosthesis .

2 – Implant surgery. Implant surgery can be performed using the conventional technique, or through guided surgery, using the Surgical Guide, when the implant insertion sites are planned in advance. This way, once the implants have been inserted, there is no need for stitches. It is also called surgery without cuts.

3 – Installation of a temporary prosthesis, in the case of total implants or front tooth implants, which allows the patient to wait until the implants have completely healed. Dental implant healing can vary from 1 month to 4 months, depending on the type of implant chosen. It’s important to bear in mind that the chance of a successful dental implant is quite high, but it can be compromised if the patient is a smoker and doesn’t have good hygiene habits.

What happens when the implants have healed?

3 – Once the implants have healed, the process of making the final prosthesis begins, which can start with the stage of reopening thedental implants. If the type of prosthesis chosen is Emax Pure Porcelain or Pure Zirconia, the method for making the final prosthesis will be completely computerized.

4 – Installation of the final prosthesis. After this phase, which may involve making prototypes to study the color and shape of the new smile, the final prosthesis is installed on the chosen type of denture.

The use of Straumann Slactive implants means that, in some cases, the period of use of the provisional prosthesis can be reduced or even eliminated. Studies carried out by Straumann have already shown that the survival rate of the Slactive implant using the immediate loading technique after 10 years is 98.2%. This is the fastest dental implant available for those who want to speed up treatment.

What is Slactive surface technology for rapid dental implant treatment?

It is based on a sandblasting technique with large granules, which generates macro roughness on the titanium surface, followed by acid etching, which overlays the micro roughness. The resulting surface provides an ideal structure for the adhesion of bone-forming cells, which are necessary for osseointegration (integration between bone and implant). This amazing technology allows Straumann Slactive implants to be the fastest healing implants on the market.

Pure zirconia or pure porcelain prosthesis for rapid implants: the gold standard in complete oral rehabilitation

Many people have the perception that a porcelain or zirconia prosthesis is a heavy piece and therefore not suitable for quick installation because it would hinder the healing of implants. But contrary to what it might seem, porcelain prostheses are much lighter than you might think. In addition to being the most modern and resistant options for the patient, they are also aesthetically superior.

By way of comparison, a full porcelain prosthesis weighs around 30g, while a tube weighs 25g. In addition, each dental implant supports a weight of 100kg, meaning that the weight of the prosthesis does not interfere with the implant.

The possibility of having a permanent porcelain prosthesis fixed on dental implants is a great relief for people who are determined to change their smile quickly. And no wonder. Pure porcelain or pure zirconia are undoubtedly the most advanced materials available for the manufacture of dental prostheses.

Firstly, Pure Zirconia and Pure Porcelain are the materials that most closely resemble natural teeth, both in strength and appearance. Secondly, because these materials have been designed for fabrication in computerized systems (CAD/CAM), which greatly speeds up the entire programming of rapid dental implant treatment.

Can anyone have rapid treatment with Slactive implants and porcelain prostheses?

As we have seen, advanced technology means that many more people have an indication for rapid dental implant treatment. However, each case needs to be assessed individually in consultation. Undeniably, oral health and health in general need to be well assessed before anything else.

In addition, certain habits that may prevent successful rehabilitation, such as smoking and bruxism, need to be considered.
