Osseointegration: The Key to Successful Dental Implants

/in /by

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.

Benefits of the All-on-4 Treatment Post-Osseointegration

  1. Enhanced bone stability
  2. Exceptional clinical outcomes
  3. Precision planning with NobelGuide
  4. Offer fixed prostheses with fewer implants on the same day
  5. Instant implant restoration
  6. Possible full arch rehabilitation
  7. Increased efficiency in reduced time
  8. Minimized treatment duration
  9. Reduced bone degradation
  10. Improved oral hygiene access

ALL ON 4, WHAT IS THE NEWEST TECHNIQUE OF DENTAL IMPLANTS?

/in /by

All on 4 is one of the newest techniques in implantology that rehabilitates full arches in patients who have lost a large part of their teeth or who are willing to make a change in their entire mouth.

Many people come to our clinic to obtain information and a quotation that adapts to their needs with this treatment.

All on 4 techniques: What is it about?

It is a minimally invasive technique that is performed with state-of-the-art equipment and materials to solve the problem of the total absence of teeth.

This dental surgery is carried out in a single day and replaces all the teeth in the upper and lower arch with only 4 dental implants.

Did you know…

This treatment is called ”All on 4” because it uses only four implants for each jaw. Sometimes, depending on each patient, more implants are needed, such as up to 6. In this case, it would be called an “All on six” treatment.

It is clinically proven with 95% success and it is a safe and effective treatment for all people, including those lacking dental bone.

The implants used are made of titanium, which is a very resistant and biocompatible material that can be integrated into the bone with very positive results and there is practically no type of rejection or allergy. The difference in this treatment lies in the inclination of two of the four implants.

Surgical process “All on 4”

First, the dental team will apply anaesthesia with conscious sedation to the patient.

Later the dentist will extract the dental pieces (if there is any left) and will place the implants that will hold the prosthesis. Placing dental implants makes it possible to replace the natural root of the teeth. It is a painless process and is highly recommended by our patients. After the surgery, a provisional prosthesis will be fitted until the implants have successfully healed.

In this way, the person who undergoes the on-4 treatment returns home with a new smile in just 1 day. Later, when the implants are integrated into the bone (osseointegration), the provisional prosthesis will be replaced by the definitive one.

For implant planning, Dental Asensio uses the NobelGuide software, which is used to obtain a detailed diagnosis, to identify the available bone, for virtual placement, and prosthetic needs.

Finally, let us assure you that in our dental clinic in Spain, we follow all the prevention and safety measures against COVID-19. We will be happy to answer all your questions and help you as much as possible. You can count on your trusted dental clinic in Valencia to show off your best smile without any worry.

Snap-on Smile: The Ultimate Guide to a Quick Smile Makeover

/0 Comments/in /by

What is Snap-on Smile?

Snap-on Smile is a dental aesthetic treatment that is characterized by being removable. It is made up of a very thin and resistant resin case that is customized to fit your mouth. It is placed over the teeth to change their shape and appearance temporarily and can be removed and inserted anytime you need it.

This technique modifies the appearance of the smile immediately and is very useful in situations in which you need to show off your smile in public, whether at events, talks, or conferences … It is also one of the most requested and definitive solutions to replace missing teeth while we are placing dental implants or the person is undergoing any other dental treatment. With this treatment, the tooth structure is not altered; it simply fits in and out of the patient’s natural teeth because it is reversible. At Dental Asensio, we recommend Snap-on Smile to enjoy your smile temporarily or permanently, as it is the perfect aesthetic solution.

Snap-on Smile procedure

The procedure is virtually painless. In the first consultation, the dentist makes an impression of the teeth, without anaesthesia, which is sent directly to the laboratory. The mould is filled with plaster and then digitized in 3D on a computer.

After this process, the mould is designed with its respective corrections in a digital program and then sent to a 3D printer. The impression is obtained and is taken to a plaster mould called a muffle, to be injected at high pressures into its material and final colour. Finally, the plaster mould is removed for final adjustments and polishing.

In the second consultation, the prosthesis is placed on the patient, and on some occasions, adjustments will be made outside the mouth if necessary.

What are its uses in dental aesthetics?

  • In teeth that present dental stains or tooth colour alterations
  • By being able to make changes in the shape of the teeth, a snap-on smile can be used in those teeth that have an anomaly in form and that affect multiple anterior teeth, and also, in which there is a dental misalignment.
  • In teeth with loss of tooth structure
  • In cases where there are dental absences, the Snap-on Smile improves the aesthetics of the patient.
  • Often used as an alternative to removable prostheses but without palate or hooks
  • It can be used as provisionals in patients who are in the process of treatment or prosthetic rehabilitation with crowns or dental veneers, or also as provisionals in implantology treatments.

 

Advantages of Snap-on Smile

  • It is an alternative to removable prostheses that do not need hooks, palate, adhesives, anaesthesia, or tooth cutting.
  • It is fully reversible and removable.
  • It does not affect the gums or the dental structure of the patient.
  • Does not stain.
  • You can eat with Snap-on Smile, or you can simply take it off to eat.
  • Avoid the need to wear dental prostheses or do dental veneer restorations to achieve a beautiful smile.
  • It does not damage the teeth, since there is no need for dental preparation or grinding.
  • It improves the aesthetics of the smile and allows the specialized dentist to design a new colour, shape, and size for your teeth.
  • With the use of a snap-on smile, the patient does not suffer the anaesthetic effects of the absence of teeth.
