What are single implants?
Single implants involve placing a prefabricated titanium root in the area where there is a missing tooth, replacing the natural root. It is a simple and painless technique. In cases where patients suffer from high anxiety or require complex rehabilitations, conscious sedation can be used. A dental implant in Málaga is the right choice.
- Helps to preserve jawbone and soft tissues.
- Prevents facial atrophy that derives from toothe loss.
- Improves the aesthetics of the smile.
- Increases comfort and self-esteem.
Phases of Single Implant Treatment
1. Planning & Smile Design
For implant placement, the case is first studied and planned. Diagnostic tests are performed in the clinic, which consist of taking scans, photographs and recording digital models.
Dental scanner and digital models
With the dental scanner we measure lengths, volumes and densities in order to choose the exact size of the implant. The digital model records allow us to interlace the radiographic image with the real image of the patient’s mouth.
Photographs
Intraoral and extraoral photographs to study the case in depth and to be able to see the prosthetic space and measure the esthetics to be achieved in order to place the implants in the ideal position.
Surgery
The implant is placed through a simple surgery, which in many cases will be navigated. We are pioneers in the placement of these implants using navigated surgery throughout Europe. This type of surgery is very precise and minimally invasive, resulting in a quick recovery..
The final smile
Finally you will get a tooth that mimics the natural tooth, that feels and functions like a natural tooth. This will preserve your jaw bone, chewing functions and significantly improve the aesthetics of your mouth.
What are implant bridges?
In areas where two or more teeth are missing, two or more implants can be used to replace more than three teeth. Depending on the area to rehabilitate and the size of the implants, it will be necessary to place a greater or lesser number of implants.
In the anterior areas we can use two implants to rehabilitate three or four teeth, but in the posterior areas, being the area of maximum load in mastication, a greater number of implants is preferable.
What to do when I am missing several teeth?
To place a fixed bridge, the adjacent teeth to the missing tooth area need to be shaped. This results in the loss of enamel and increases the risk of nerve irritation in the tooth, potentially leading to the need for a root canal treatment.
In cases where a large number of teeth are lost, we only have two alternatives: removable prosthetics or implants.
In these cases, the advantage of dental implants in Málaga is clear, as in addition to providing fixed teeth, they help improve chewing function and enhance aesthetics.
It is important to note that by placing implants, we promote bone maintenance. However, when using fixed bridges or removable prosthetics, that bone diminishes over time, making future implant placement more difficult.
Confortable
It is more comfortable and feels more natural than a fixed bridge.
Esthetic
Better aesthetics by better preserving bone and gum volume.
Natural
Keeping adjoining parts intact.
Practical
Better chewing function and therefore better digestion.
