Implants
Implants
Dental implants are pins made of biocompatible material (titanium) that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace one or more tooth roots. The implant is not a complete artificial tooth, but the root, on which a prosthesis will be built.
Implant placement techniques, although complex and meticulous, are always very delicate, requiring sophisticated instruments and a high level of professional knowledge.
The entire procedure is carried out under local anesthesia and, in the vast majority of cases, without great suffering for the patient. The post-operative period is also favorable, with no painful process that can't be controlled with painkillers.
Immediate loading implants
Immediate loading is the technique by which prostheses are placed immediately after surgery or a few days after the implant is installed. The prostheses used in immediate loading are temporary and must be replaced after some time. Immediate loading can only be planned when the dentist's diagnosis indicates excellent initial stability in fixing the titanium implant to the bone. This diagnosis is made after a rigorous assessment and study of the clinical case.
Guided surgeries
Dental implants can now be installed without the need for incisions (cutting with a blade). Perforations are only made by the drill itself, with the use of three-dimensional tomography and prototyping of the remaining bone. The main advantages of this technique are reduced surgical time, integrated prosthesis/implant planning already in the prototype, better post-operative recovery and no need for stitches.
