About
What is a dental implant and what does it consist of?
A dental implant is the best solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Modern techniques allow us to implant an artificial tooth regardless of the circumstances that led to the loss of the natural one.
A dental implant is an artificial titanium device designed to replace the missing tooth root and serve as support for crowns, fixed, and removable prostheses. A dental implant functions just like the root of a natural tooth, providing solid support for a new tooth.
What is a dental implant made of?
1
The actual implant
It is a medical device made of titanium, similar to a screw, which is inserted into the maxillary or mandibular bone, replacing the natural tooth root.
2
The prosthetic abutment
It is the connecting element between the dental implant (the screw inserted into the bone) and the future dental crown (the artificial tooth).
3
Dental crown
It replaces the natural tooth, looks and feels just like it, and can be attached to the dental implant either by cementation or screwing, depending on the case.
How long does the insertion of a dental implant take?
The actual process of inserting a dental implant can take between 20 minutes and several hours.
What are the costs of dental implants?
The treatment with dental implants involves the following costs:
The costs of dental services preceding the implant insertion procedure
The cost of a dental crown
The actual cost of the implant
The cost of the prosthetic abutment

Who is the perfect candidate for dental implants?
We begin by telling you that there is no “ideal” candidate for dental implants, nor are there absolute contraindications. If you have lost one or more teeth, regardless of the reason, you can benefit from this treatment.
The only condition is to have good oral and general health. If there are certain issues that could pose contraindications for such a procedure, they should be ones that can be corrected. For example, if you do not have enough bone to support the implant, there is the option of bone augmentation.
How long does an implant lasts?
A dental implant can have a long lifespan, between 10 and 30 years. However, this depends greatly on oral hygiene, regular visits to the dentist, and lifestyle choices (a healthy diet, avoiding smoking).
What happens if I don't replace my lost teeth?
You might be tempted to think that the only problems caused by missing teeth relate to the aesthetics of your smile.
In reality, however, tooth loss can lead to numerous issues, affecting not only the way you look but also how you chew and speak. All these problems can be prevented simply by replacing lost teeth with dental implants.
What are the stages of dental implant placement?
01
Consultation
Before performing a procedure that involves the insertion of one or more implants, a thorough consultation takes place, during which a three-dimensional X-ray, initial situation photographs, and an oral cavity scan are conducted.
Based on these, a discussion will take place where the specifics of your case will be explained, what solutions exist, what the stages are, and what the procedure entails. Additionally, we will discuss pre- and post-procedure recommendations, alternative options, costs, and the duration of the intervention.

02
Tests
The success of dental implant treatments is extremely important to us. Therefore, depending on each patient's medical history, we recommend obtaining approval from the specialist doctor who monitors the patient's existing conditions before the procedure.
This way, we can identify potential issues that may affect the procedure, the healing process, or prevent the intervention from being performed.
03
Oral cavity sanitation
Dental implants are sterile devices, and to prevent contamination, they must be placed in an infection-free environment.
Thus, the first step consists of preparing the oral cavity through the following procedures:
04
Dental implant insertion
The implant is surgically placed into the bone through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. Regardless of the complexity of the case, we ensure safety and efficiency with the help of our team of professionals, high-quality materials, and advanced technology.
The appropriate dental implant system depends on the patient's dental issues. The recommendation will be made based on the volume of bone tissue observed in radiological investigations, the remaining teeth, and the patient's needs.
05
Recovery and oral hygiene after dental implant insertion
No one wants complications or failure after a dental implant procedure. As a patient, you should do everything possible to avoid this situation. Following the dentist's post-surgery instructions and ensuring proper long-term care are absolutely necessary to maintain implants for as long as possible.

Total restauration
Have you lost all your teeth? Don't worry!
Total dental restoration is possible thanks to dental implants, and it can be done faster than you might expect. Here are the solutions we propose:
Sky Fast & Fixed of Bredent
The Sky Fast & Fixed prosthetic solution from Bredent is a method of full dental reconstruction designed for patients without teeth or with severely damaged teeth that can no longer be saved. The procedure involves inserting dental implants and securing a temporary restoration within 24 hours.
The osseointegration of dental implants occurs easily, and the PRF technique we use ensures faster healing than usual.
The advantage of using the Sky Fast & Fixed prosthetic solution from Bredent is that we can provide patients with fixed teeth in a single day, allowing them to eat immediately after surgery.

All-on-4 / All-on-6
The All-on-4/6 technique offers patients a fully fixed prosthetic restoration on the day of the procedure or in the shortest possible time. In short, these implant systems involve the complete reconstruction of an edentulous dental arch (without teeth) using a reduced number of implants (4 or 6) and a prosthesis.
All-on-4/6 solutions are absolutely stable and have a very good long-term prognosis. According to the original All-on-4/6 protocol, the provisional prosthesis is fixed simultaneously with the insertion of the dental implants. After the osseointegration of the implants, the final restoration a fixed prosthesis on implants will be applied, allowing the patient to eat, smile, and live a completely normal life throughout the process.
