Dental Implants

A dental implant is a surgical procedure that places a titanium post in the dental arch where a natural tooth is missing.

Titanium is a material that is fully biocompatible with the body and fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, becoming the root of the implanted tooth.

Before treatment begins, an assessment of the patient's health is carried out.

The duration of the procedure depends on each case and the number of teeth being implanted, and can range from six months to a year, with periodic visits to the dentist.

The Surgery

Dental implant surgery is an outpatient procedure performed in the office, generally under local anesthesia. For full-mouth or multiple-tooth rehabilitation, intravenous sedation may be used.

Every precaution is taken to ensure the patient feels no pain or discomfort. We have the technology, experience, and professional qualifications to guarantee the best treatment.

Computer-Guided Surgery Without Incisions

Experience in Computer-Guided Surgery: virtual planning and optimized placement of dental implants.

This type of surgery, which we offer here at IR-Implante Rio, has countless benefits.

Since the surgical guide indicates the exact location for implant placement, there's no need for incisions, reducing the amount of anesthesia and bleeding and, consequently, post-operative swelling and pain. Other benefits of this technique include:

  • No need for sutures (stitches);
  • Reduced surgery time;
  • The possibility of placing the prosthesis immediately after surgery (Immediate Loading).

Oral Prosthesis on Dental Implants

Cases vary, and depending on each patient's oral health condition, different prosthetic approaches associated with dental implants may be used. Our professionals will answer any questions you may have.

Prosthetics are divided into fixed and removable types. Fixed prosthetics are further divided into multiple-unit and single-unit.

  • Multiple-unit — Made up of at least 4 implants per arch. Their placement is based on available bone. If implant placement isn't possible, the cost-benefit of a bone graft is assessed.
  • Single-unit — In this case, ceramic is the recommended material, and it can be either cemented or screw-retained.

Depending on the patient's situation, removable prosthetics (overdentures) may be chosen due to significant bone resorption limiting the number of implants, an unfavorable intermaxillary relationship, and their more affordable cost.

These prosthetics use numerous types of retention attachments: clip bars, ball attachments, O-rings, the ERA system, MKI, etc.

It's up to the patient and the professional to decide which prosthesis best suits their case, based on criteria such as bone availability, occlusion, and cost-effectiveness.

The material used in the prosthetics may be resin combined with a metal framework, or porcelain.
