Tooth loss can be an aesthetic and functional problem that affects the quality of life for many people. However, thanks to advances in dental technology, there are effective and lasting solutions to restore your smile and confidence. In this article, we will explore the benefits and process of dental implants.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial structures that are placed in the bone to replace the root of a lost tooth. They are designed to support a dental crown or bridge, restoring the function and aesthetics of the natural tooth.
Benefits of dental implants:
- Stability and durability: Dental implants can last a long time with proper care.
- Improved self-esteem: A complete and healthy smile can increase confidence.
- Functionality: Implants allow you to chew and speak normally.
- Bone protection: Implants prevent bone loss and facial deformity.
- Easy maintenance: Implants require the same care as natural teeth.
Types of dental implants:
- Titanium implants: The most common and durable.
- Ceramic implants: An aesthetic option for patients with titanium allergies.
- Mini implants: For small spaces or small teeth.
Non-invasive implantology
At VDENT, we avoid the anxiety and discomfort of placing dental implants, providing our patients with guided implantology techniques performed by competent and professional surgeons, excellent and state-of-the-art equipment and materials.
Computer-guided surgery allows you to feel no pain during the operation and is carried out from an intraoral scan and a 3D computed tomography that gives us the image of the patient’s dental arch. Based on this, we created a surgical guide. Using the software, the surgeon chooses how to position and tilt the implants.
The result is a non-invasive and painless operation, there is no incision of the gum (cut), no bleeding or stitches and this also helps to have a postoperative period without discomfort. Therefore, in our dental practice we offer non-invasive implantology (flapless surgery) since we avoid anything that may cause pain to the patient.
