Osseointegration: The Key to Successful Dental Implants

Understanding Osseointegration

Osseointegration refers to the crucial healing process after a dental implant is placed in a patient’s mouth. It’s the direct, structural, and functional bond formed between living bone and the implant’s surface when subjected to functional loading. For successful osseointegration to occur, several factors play pivotal roles:

  1. Inflammation management post-operation
  2. Specific implant design
  3. The period the implant remains unloaded, typically around 6 months

Postoperative Care for Successful Osseointegration

Ensuring proper postoperative care is essential for achieving optimal osseointegration and preventing potential complications. While your specialist at Dental Asensio will provide tailored advice based on your unique case, there are some general guidelines you should adhere to:

  1. Avoid rinsing for the first 24 hours post-surgery.
  2. Apply ice packs to the treated area on the first day to minimize inflammation.
  3. Maintain a soft diet in the initial days. It promotes osseointegration by relieving pressure on the implant. Preferably consume room temperature foods to prevent bleeding. Some recommended foods include:
    • Gazpacho
    • Yoghurt
    • Eggs
    • Soft or ground-fish (Ensure minimal chewing and tension on the treated area)
    • Fruit juices and smoothies
  4. Administer antibiotics and analgesics as prescribed.
  5. Regularly visit Dental Asensio for check-ups post-treatment.
  6. Refrain from strenuous activities or heavy lifting for the first week.
  7. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and other similar substances.

Cost of Fixed Dental Prosthesis

Cost of Fixed Dental Prosthesis

Understanding the Cost of Fixed Dental Prosthesis at Dental Asensio

How much does a fixed dental prosthesis cost? Fixed dental prostheses have become an increasingly popular dental solution, offering a permanent attachment in the patient’s mouth without the need for removal. Unlike traditional dentures, which might require an initial adjustment period and pose discomfort during the initial days, the fixed prosthesis provides an effortless speaking and eating experience without the concern of food debris accumulation.

Types of Fixed Dental Prostheses:

  • Fixed Prosthesis on Teeth: This prosthesis latches onto the patient’s existing healthy teeth, ensuring solid support. However, a noted drawback is the need to modify and polish the anchor teeth for the prosthesis to fit appropriately.
  • Fixed Prosthesis on Dental Implants: This prosthesis is anchored to titanium implants, effectively replacing the tooth’s root and ensuring the prosthetic tooth is securely attached.

Such fixed solutions not only address the aesthetic concerns of missing teeth but also enable patients to chew and speak without hindrance, mimicking the natural functionality of real teeth.

Procedure Details at Dental Asensio:

At Dental Asensio, our experts specialize in both dentistry and stomatology, ensuring a precise and customized prosthetic solution for every patient. The procedure typically involves:

  • For Fixed Prosthesis on Teeth: Teeth are shaped and adjusted, creating a “stump” to which the prosthesis will later be secured. Modifying the tooth structure is a necessary step in this procedure.
  • For Fixed Prosthesis on Dental Implants: The dental piece is anchored onto the titanium implant, serving as the tooth’s foundation. A crown or bridge is then placed atop the implant.

Diving into the Cost of Fixed Dental Prosthesis:

The investment in a dental prosthesis is essential when confronting tooth loss. Generally, the cost of a fixed prosthesis varies greatly based on individual needs and specific treatments. On average, a fixed prosthesis starts from €250, and comprehensive fixed dentures can begin at €4,500. It’s essential to note that these costs can fluctuate based on:

  • Chosen materials
  • Number of teeth requiring replacement
  • The technology and techniques utilized
  • The need for interim or provisional prostheses
