WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Dental implants, often composed of pure titanium, are designed to replace original roots. This enables Dental Asensio to position an aesthetically pleasing and functional artificial piece where a natural tooth once was.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a common choice for those who have lost a tooth or teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or some other reason. The dental implant procedure involves the placement of the implant under a local anaesthetic, usually causing minimal discomfort. These implants fuse with your jawbone, providing stable support for artificial teeth, and ensuring they won’t slip or shift in your mouth – a critical benefit for eating and speaking.

4 Dental Implant Care Tips

1. Complete oral hygiene: Brush after every meal and floss daily. Know the type of toothbrush that suits your dental needs.
2. Reduce or quit smoking: Smoking weakens the bone structure and can reduce implant efficacy.
3. Regular dentist visits: Schedule appointments every 3 months at Dental Asensio for routine cleanings and to monitor implant conditions.
4. Avoid hard foods: Chewing hard items like ice or candy could cause damage to dental crowns and natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Conservative procedure: They don’t require altering teeth adjacent to the replacement site.
• Universal applicability: An implant can be an option for anyone, as long as there is an initial oral health evaluation.
• Prevents chewing and tooth movement issues: Implants address the gap left by a lost tooth, preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting.
• Boosts self-esteem: A dental implant can restore your smile and confidence.
• Normal hygiene care: Dental implants don’t require special care beyond regular brushing and periodic dentist check-ups.
• Applicable even with insufficient bone.

The Dental Implant Process

The implant process involves inserting a ‘screw-like’ structure into the gum and jawbone base. This acts as the new tooth root and integrates with the bone throughout about 2 to 3 months. Once the bone-implant union is confirmed, we place a pillar or base for the new tooth or prosthesis to grip, ensuring a natural-looking result.

Cost of Dental Implants

The dental implant cost can vary depending on the patient’s oral health status and the number of implants needed. Typically, the price for a quality complete dental implant in a Spanish dental clinic, like Dental Asensio, ranges between €1000 and €1500.
