Dental implants are an excellent solution to the loss of one or more teeth . Implantology allows you to recover the aesthetics and functionality of the mouth with many benefits . The placement of dental implants is a simple procedure with which we achieve adequate chewing and recover a natural smile . With proper maintenance , the implants have a long durability and a high success rate , greater than 96%. At Dr. Bruno Negri Integral Dental Clinic we are leaders in dental implants , we also perform bone regeneration treatments simultaneously . Dental implant surgery is simple and is performed under local anaesthesia , allowing the placement of several dental implants in one day without discomfort for the patient
To explain what a dental implant is , we must first point out that it is a very simple and safe technique . It consists of a biocompatible titanium device that is inserted through the gum and into the bone , to replace the dental root . A fixed dental prosthesis is placed on this artificial root , usually a cemented or screw – retained crown . The loss of one or several teeth supposes an imbalance of the entire structure of the mouth , which we can easily solve with the new dental implant techniques . This procedure does not affect the adjacent teeth and ensures the stability of the entire mouth , avoiding malformations , bone loss , gum loss and malocclusions (bite problems )
The dental implant placement process is done in several steps. First, a complete study of the condition of the bone ( where the implant will be placed) is carried out using X – rays, dental CT, photos and digital scanning. Once the study is done, the intervention is scheduled.
In this intervention , under local anesthesia, an incision is made in the gum and the implant is placed inside the bone . To ensure proper bone – implant integration , it is necessary to wait several months before placing the final crown. After this healing phase, known as ” osseointegration “, and through a titanium abutment , the final crown is attached to the implant.
To avoid possible discomfort during the integration phase, at Bruno Negri Integral Dental Clinic we place temporary fixed teeth during the first stage ( while we wait for the final tooth ), especially in the aesthetic area (visible area of the smile ).
Every time the placement of a fixed prosthesis of this type is considered , some doubts are raised that the team at Bruno Negri Integral Dental Clinic solves in a completly personalized way . Each case is different and that is why we like to offer individual attention and explain to each patient all the necessary details
In the vast majority of cases, dental implants do not present problems of any kind . The success rate of these interventions is greater than 96%.
Dental implants are made of titanium , a biocompatible material that can rarely present integration problems . These problems are generally associated with smokers , poor hygiene , or uncontrolled diabetes, not with the implant itself . The percentage of non – integration of dental implants is around 2% of the total.
To guarantee the integration of the dental implant , it is important to avoid bad habits such as tobacco use, maintain adequate oral hygiene and follow the preoperative and postoperative instructions of our team of specialists .
The placement of dental implants has a short recovery time, around 2 – 3 days after the intervention . The postoperative period of a dental implant does not usually cause discomfort , beyond mild to moderate pain and perhaps some small discomfort at night . After the intervention , the patient will have to go back for a check – up to remove the sutures, between 7 to 15 days after , always following the instructions of our specialists , since each patient has a different healing time.
Patients who need to replace several teeth to rebuild their mouth often ask us how many dental implants can be placed in one day . And the answer is that all the dental implants that are necessary can be placed in a single intervention , in one day . Some patients need to recover a large part of their teeth , an entire arch or even their entire mouth . Dental implants are a great support for full ceramic or hybrid dentures . For all of this , it is important to carry out a complete study of the mouth and define a treatment plan tailored to your needs . At Bruno Negri Integral Dental Clinic we will be happy to assess your case and give you the best solution in a personalized way.
The duration of the dental implant , in most cases, is directly proportional to the care we have in its maintenance phase . Implants can be for life if we take care of them , if we do not have harmful habits ( tobacco , alcohol, poor hygiene ) and if we carry out regular dental check – ups, at least twice a year . For the durability of dental implants , the most important care is everything related to hygiene . If there is poor dental hygiene , bacteria can accumulate on the implant surface leading to infections and bone loss in the area where the implant is placed, resulting in Peri – implantitis.
At Bruno Negri Integral Dental Clinic we carry out a complete oral health study before and after placing the implants , to guarantee the success of the treatment . Trust our team of professionals . We work to always offer you personalized treatments , tailored to your needs . Your smile deserves the best care .
