Implants are a definitive treatment that solves the problem of the loss of a dental piece in an esthetic and completely natural way. There are many doubts about
what are dental implants
how they are placed, what the prices are, what they are or if they hurt. Below, we are going to give you information about dental implants, solving in depth all the questions you may have about this subject.
What is a dental implant
A dental implant is a cylindrical piece made of titanium, a hypoallergenic and highly resistant material, which is implanted in the maxillofacial bone and acts in the same way as natural roots would.
It is indicated for all those people who have lost teeth or molars and want to replace them while maintaining all the advantages of a natural tooth. Their success lies in their similarity to the original parts, in their long durability and in the fact that, in many cases, they aesthetically improve the pre-existing part.
Dental implants are suitable for all types of people, even for young people who have already completed their growth and who, for some reason, have lost one or more teeth. The advantages of dental implants are indisputable: they do not move, they perfectly simulate a natural tooth and they can last a lifetime.
Dental implant prices
Knowing the
dental implants prices
is usually the first concern when deciding on this type of treatment. This is a logical concern, but advances in the techniques of these procedures have made it possible to extend their use and bring them closer to all patients.
If you want to search on the Internet, we suggest you to do so
in places you can trust
where you can be sure that you will be attended by expert professionals who have the best facilities, use the best materials and focus only on your needs.
At IMOI we carry out a preliminary study in order to decide which procedure will be the most appropriate in your case. Depending on different factors, such as the type of implant, the type of surgery or whether there is bone loss, the budget may vary. What you can be sure of is that we will clearly and transparently detail the total price of your treatment before we begin.
How are dental implants placed?
Depending on the type of implant, one method or another will be used. The dentist will explain how dental implants are placed and whether surgery is necessary or not, since nowadays it is possible to perform the intervention without a scalpel.
Once the implant is in place, the crown is placed on it, that is, the fixed prosthesis that will simulate the piece that we have lost. The result is so natural that no one will be able to tell which is the real tooth.
Does a dental implant hurt?
One of the most recurrent fears of patients is to know if a dental implant hurts. You can rest assured, we perform
dental implants without pain.
The treatment is always performed under anesthesia, so the person will not suffer any pain or discomfort at the time of placing the prosthesis. The most common anesthesia is local anesthesia, exactly the same as for a filling. In cases where the patient is very nervous or very afraid of the dentist, conscious sedation, a type of anesthesia that relaxes deeply, but without losing consciousness, may be applied.
Recovery may be more or less painful, depending on the person and the method used, but the dentist will prescribe a course of painkillers to avoid any discomfort.
During the days following placement, a soft diet is recommended. Above all, until the gum and bone settle and integrate the new piece correctly. After that, eating with dental implants is totally normal. The big difference our patients usually notice is that it no longer hurts when chewing and they are able to regain the confidence to bite without pain and smile without complexes.
