Dental implants are a very good option to replace one or more missing teeth.
When you lose a tooth, you lose both the crown and the root. To replace this root we use a kind of titanium screw, placed inside the maxillary bone, with local anaesthesia.
Why replacing the missing teeth?
- If you lose a tooth, you also lose your ability to chew.
- It also increases the load for the teeth and molars left, shortening its survival in the mouth.
- Neighbouring teeth lose their shaft and cause instability, which compromises the jaw joint.
- At the same time, it causes an aesthetic impact.
How many dental implants are needed?
The number of dental implants is determined by the study of the case. For this reason, the plaster models, x-rays and other complementary tests are absolutely necessary.
How long are the dental implants?
The duration of the dental implants depends basically on the maintenance and check-ups done in the dental clinic, the presence or not of harmful habits such as smoking, as well as daily personal care.
Dental implants placed in our center are of first quality. However, we recommend a follow-up with your dentist in order to guarantee the maximum duration.
