Full mouth dental implants spain
Recover your smile, eat and speak with confidence again. Implants allow you to recover lost teeth, whether it’s a few dental pieces or full-mouth dental implants.
We are experts in guided surgery and bone regeneration for optimal implant placement.
This way, we can replace the natural teeth with artificial ones that offer better functionality and the same or better aesthetics.
We will study the best solution for your case through a thorough examination using a low-radiation CBCT 3D scanner.
Why replace missing teeth?
Avoid pronunciation problems.
Prevent bone resorption that is no longer supporting a dental piece.
Prevent shifting, breakage, and excessive stress on healthy teeth.
Restore your smile and self-confidence.
The treatment sequence will be as follows:
INTEGRATION/HEALING: Approximately three months.
PLACEMENT OF THE FINAL PROSTHESIS OR CROWN ON THE IMPLANTS: Between 10 and 15 days after the healing period is complete.
CARE: Periodic check-ups and hygiene appointments will be scheduled.
Advantages of implants
Comfort: Just like a natural tooth.
Aesthetic: The similarity to a natural tooth is complete.
Safe: Over 98% success rate.
Preserve adjacent teeth as they do not need to be shaved down, unlike in the case of a bridge.
Minimally invasive guided implantology
Minimally invasive guided implantology is the most advanced and modern technique for dental implant placement.
At Centro Dental Smiling, a dental clinic specialized in dental implants in Spain, we have the latest radiological, computer, and surgical technology to ensure a reliable, precise, and safe procedure.
In this way, postoperative discomfort is significantly reduced (the recovery is excellent). Knowing the exact position where the implants will be placed allows us to have an immediate provisional fixed prosthesis prepared, which can be placed on the same day as the surgery.
Digital planning prior to implant placement
Digital Wax-up. Blue Molar.
We design the future prosthesis before implant placement. This helps us outline the implant placement area.
We optimize its location by understanding the anatomy of the teeth, gums, and bone. The bone anatomy will be the second variable that helps us further refine the precise location of the implant.
In the second image, the estimated axes of the implant location can be seen.
This significantly reduces postoperative discomfort (the recovery is excellent). Knowing the exact position where the implants will be placed allows us to have an immediate provisional fixed prosthesis prepared, which can be placed on the same day as the surgery.
Implant guide splint
Once the location and exact implant model are decided, the guide splint is designed.
In the computer, we have recorded the anatomy of the tooth and gums, in addition to using the bone anatomy to design the mentioned splint.
On the day of the surgery, it will be used on the patient.
The implant will be placed in the exact area with the planned angulation.
The result is a reduction in time and an improvement in surgical efficiency.
The need for sutures is eliminated, and the patient’s postoperative recovery is much better.
This significantly reduces postoperative discomfort (the recovery is excellent). Knowing the exact position where the implants will be placed allows us to have an immediate provisional fixed prosthesis prepared, which can be placed on the same day as the surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions about dental implants in Spain
How is the implant anchored to the bone?
The implant is anchored to the bone through a biological process called osseointegration, in which our body forms a bond between the bone and the surface of the implant. Once osseointegration has occurred, the implant is securely attached to the bone and can support a prosthesis, ready to meet any functional and aesthetic needs, just like a natural, healthy tooth.
Osseointegration can be very stable over time, which is why dental implant treatments are often beneficial for many years.
What is guided surgery?
Guided surgery is a technique for implant placement based on prior planning using radiological and photographic images to increase the precision of the placement, resulting in the use of a guiding splint.
The starting point is to decide the most appropriate position, size, and thickness of an implant for the area where a tooth needs to be replaced.
For this, we perform a 3D CBCT radiological scan (which we have in the clinic) that provides information about the patient’s bone and dental anatomy. This scan allows us to evaluate the exact position of areas to avoid, such as the dental nerve. We also perform a photographic scan of the teeth and gums position (Itero, which we also have). Both images are processed in software that allows us to design a splint for guiding the implant surgery.
Once the splint is designed, it is 3D printed to be used in the patient’s mouth on the day of the surgery. This splint helps position the implants in the exact location.
Advantages
- Greater precision in implant location compared to the conventional method.
- Reduced risks compared to conventional surgery.
- Shorter surgery times.
- Better postoperative recovery.
- Planned with the future prosthesis in mind, significantly reducing future prosthesis design issues caused by inaccurate implant placement.
Disadvantages
- Slightly increased cost of treatment due to the design and printing of the guiding splint.
Gallucci splint, in what cases is it used?
The Gallucci splint is used to place implants in cases where all teeth have been lost. It is a splint that records the anatomy of the gums and palate. We use the image obtained from the 3D CBCT scan (which records the bone anatomy) and the image from the Itero photographic scan (which records the anatomy of the gums and palate). With both images, we can plan the best areas to place the implants on the computer. After studying them, we design the Gallucci splint, which will be used in the patient’s mouth on the day of implant placement.
Advantages
- Increases the precision of implant location in areas where the bone is in the best condition.
- Significantly reduces the surgery time.
- Improves the patient’s postoperative recovery.
Does the placement of an implant cause discomfort?
The discomfort caused by placing an implant is similar to that of any surgical procedure. However, the implant treatment is so well-protocolized that it often causes minimal or no discomfort at all. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, as with many other dental treatments. Postoperative recovery may involve some mild discomfort once the anesthesia effect has worn off.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants can last for many years. These treatments have shown excellent results in terms of durability, comfort, aesthetics, and reliability for several years now.
The longevity of implants and the prosthetic rehabilitation they support depends largely on the patient’s anatomical and physiological properties, as well as their habits and the type of condition that caused the tooth loss.
Therefore, the estimated lifespan of implants is, at best, an approximation and is certainly not the same for all patients. In any case, modern dental implants have no known expiration date.
What sensation does wearing an implant cause?
The sensation a patient experiences when wearing an implant is the same as with a natural tooth.
The patient completely forgets that they have an implant. Osteointegrated dental implants hold the prosthesis so firmly that there is no sense of insecurity when chewing. With the prosthesis on implants, the sensation is that chewing feels similar to natural chewing, or even with more consistency, allowing the patient to generate a chewing force similar to or even greater than that of their natural teeth.
Do they require special care?
The fundamental care is to maintain or establish good dental hygiene habits. This way, dental implants will be better preserved, and potential complications can be greatly avoided.
Dental cleaning with a manual or electric toothbrush, regardless of whether it’s for crowns or any other tooth, is essential. Interproximal brushes help maintain care around implants by reaching the spaces between teeth or implants. We can also use dental floss when interproximal brushes do not fit. A water flosser or Waterpik can enhance implant care by applying directed water.
After all these recommendations, the most important is to strictly follow the revision schedule set by the implantologist. This ensures that the dental implants are always under control and provides the opportunity to detect and address any major issues early.
Specific check-ups for patients with dental implants:
- Digital X-rays
- Florida probe measurements
- Mobility tests
Dental autotransplantation
The Dental Autotransplant involves relocating a tooth to the position of another. It is a procedure where a healthy tooth is moved from one area of the mouth to another, replacing a lost or damaged tooth.
This technique is only indicated for young patients whose tooth roots are not fully developed.
It is an option to consider for filling gaps left by lost teeth or teeth that are not viable for restoration, providing an alternative to implants or bridges in certain cases.
Dental implants Spain prices
The cost of dental implants in Spain can vary depending on a variety of factors. While prices can differ from clinic to clinic, several key elements influence the overall cost:
- Treatment Complexity: The difficulty of the procedure, such as the number of implants or the need for additional treatments (like bone grafting), can affect the final cost.
- Materials Used: The type of materials chosen for the implants and restorations can impact the price. Premium materials often result in better long-term results.
- Location of the Clinic: Clinics in larger cities or more popular tourist destinations may charge higher fees due to location.
- Experience of the Professionals: Highly skilled and experienced implantologists may charge a premium for their services, but their expertise ensures a higher level of precision and care.
Although the cost can vary, many people choose dental implants in Spain because of the high standard of care and affordability compared to other countries. Spain’s dental professionals use advanced technology to ensure the best results and outcomes for their patients, providing excellent value for the quality of care they offer.
