At Medicis Dental, our mission is to provide personalized solutions that restore the functionality and aesthetics of the smile, helping our patients to regain confidence and well-being.
One of the main focuses of our clinic is oral rehabilitation, with special emphasis on dental implants, one of the most modern and effective options to replace missing teeth.
What are Implants
Dental?
Dental implants are small titanium or zirconia structures that are surgically inserted into the maxillary or mandibular bone, replacing the root of a missing tooth.
These implants serve as a base to support fixed prostheses, crowns or bridges, ensuring the necessary stability so that the patient can chew, speak and smile comfortably and safely.
Titanium, the most common material used in dental implants, is biocompatible, meaning that the bone naturally integrates with the implant over time through a process called osseointegration.
This process is critical to the long-term success of implants, ensuring that the new “root” becomes an integral part of the jawbone, providing a firm and long-lasting foundation for dental restoration.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a number of benefits, both functional and aesthetic.
For patients who have lost one or more teeth, these implants provide a complete, natural and long-lasting solution. Below, we highlight the main benefits of dental implants:
Improvement of Chewing and Speech
By restoring a lost tooth, the dental implant allows the patient to chew efficiently, without discomfort or limitations. In addition, it corrects possible speech difficulties caused by missing teeth.
Aesthetics
Natural
The crowns or prostheses fixed on the implants are custom-made and personalized for each patient, using materials that imitate the natural appearance of the teeth, such as porcelain and zirconia. The result is a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Durability and Longevity
With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, and in many cases, a lifetime. This longevity is one of the main advantages over other oral rehabilitation options.
Prevention of
Bone Loss
When a tooth is lost, the bone that supported it begins to decay. Dental implants stimulate the bone, preventing its loss and maintaining the integrity of the facial structure.
Stability and Comfort
Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are fixed and stable, providing superior comfort. There is no need to remove them for cleaning, which makes it easier to maintain daily oral health.
The Procedure of Placing Dental Implants
The process of placing dental implants involves several steps, each of which is essential to ensure the long-term success of the treatment. At Medicis Dental, we ensure that all procedures are carried out rigorously, following the highest standards of quality and safety.
The first step to dental implant placement is an evaluation consultation with one of our specialists.
During this consultation, a complete analysis of the condition of the teeth and bone structures will be carried out, using imaging tests, such as X-rays or CT scans. This process helps determine the quantity and quality of bone available to support the implants.
If necessary, bone graft surgery may be suggested to increase the amount of bone in the area, ensuring the stability of the implant.
Once the treatment plan is defined, the surgery for the placement of the dental implants is performed. During this procedure, the titanium implant is surgically inserted into the maxillary or mandibular bone, where it will replace the root of the missing tooth.
After implant placement, the patient must undergo a healing period, which can vary between 3 to 6 months, depending on the case. During this period, osseointegration occurs, an essential process that ensures that the implant integrates with the bone in a stable and permanent way.
After the osseointegration process is completed, the next step is the placement of the fixed prosthesis or dental crown. These are customized to fit the shape and color of the patient’s natural teeth, providing an impeccable aesthetic and functional appearance.
From this point on, the patient can enjoy a complete and functional smile, with a permanent solution for the missing teeth.
Maintenance of Dental Implants
The maintenance of dental implants is similar to that of natural teeth.
It is essential to follow a proper oral hygiene routine, brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing to remove food residue between your teeth and around the implant.
Regular dental appointments are also recommended to ensure that dental implants remain in good condition over time.
