Dental implants: revolutionising the modern smile in Malaga
If you are looking for information on where to get a dental implant in Malaga, you are in the right place. At Vidarte Clinics, we understand that oral health and a radiant smile are fundamental to your wellbeing. In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about dental implants and how they can transform your smile.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small titanium screws that are inserted into the jawbone for the purpose of replacing missing teeth. This biocompatible material fuses with the bone creating a solid base for the placement of crowns or dentures.
Types of Dental Implants
At Vidartel, we offer a variety of options to replace the functionality and appearance of missing teeth:
Implant Dentures
Removable Prostheses on Implants
These prostheses are placed over implants, but can be removed for easy cleaning and oral hygiene. They are ideal for fully edentulous patients, as they offer comfort and ease of care.
Fixed Prostheses on Implants
Fixed prostheses are screwed to the implants and are made of different materials, depending on the characteristics and needs of the patient. In this case, the maintenance and cleaning of the prostheses will be carried out in the clinic on a regular basis.
Dental Crowns on Implants
Dental crowns replace missing teeth individually.
At Dental Vidarte We make these crowns in a highly resistant and aesthetic material: Zirconium.
Zirconium crowns are made entirely of this biocompatible material and are highly aesthetic, as they are translucent and look very similar to natural teeth.
Advantages of Dental Implants
The choice of dental implants offers multiple practical and aesthetic benefits:
- Recovery of the full functionality of the mouth.
- Ease of speech and natural pronunciation.
- Ability to chew properly, without worry.
- Improves digestion by chewing food properly.
- Restoration of the smile and increase of self-esteem.
Compared to other treatments, such as removable prostheses, dental implants offer significant advantages:
- Greater convenience, as they are fixed and do not require adhesives.
- Longer durability with proper care.
- Increased taste sensation in food.
- Better fixation, as they fuse to the bone and do not move.
Phases of Dental Implant Treatment
The dental implant process is divided into several phases:
- Implantology study: A personalised assessment is carried out to determine the best implant placement and X-rays, including 3D scans or CT scans, are taken for precise planning.
- Placement of dental implants: A surgical procedure is performed under anaesthesia to place the implant in the jawbone.
- Integration of the implant with the bone and tissues: The titanium implant fuses with the bone over a period of 2 to 6 months.
- Placement of the dental prosthesesOnce the implant has been integrated, impressions are taken to create the new teeth, which are placed on the implants.
- Recommendation of an unloading splint: The use of an unloading splint may be recommended to protect both implants and porcelain prostheses.
- Maintenance and hygiene: The importance of good oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist is emphasised to ensure successful treatment.
