Implantology

The implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth. Metal structures are placed in the bone beneath the gums that allow the placement of teeth on them.

How Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants attach themselves to the bone providing a stable support for artificial teeth.
Dentures and bridges placed over implants do not move in the mouth, which is particularly important during mastication and speech.
For placement of implants is important to have  healthy gums and adequate bone support. The patient should take a very good oral hygiene and make regular visits to the dentist.


What is the longevity of implant treatment?

Generally lasts many years depending on the location of the implant, the patient's hygiene and frequency of dental visits.


Before placing implants?

The professional will assess whether the patient is a candidate for implants. Good candidates have good general health, healthy gums and adequate amount of bone.

 

What are the care of implants?

It is very important to keep the area around the implant clean. It'a important to brush and use dental floss or interproximal brushes.


What are the main advantages of rehabilitation with implants?

* Preservation of the teeth adjacent to edentulous space (they will not have to be worn to receive crowns, as in conventional fixed prostheses);
* Preservation of the bone structure of the remaining alveolar ridge;
* Aesthetics.
