What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the most effective way to replace missing teeth. It consists of a kind of biocompatible titanium screws that are integrated into the bone, on which crowns are placed, colloquially known as caps, which mimic a natural tooth.
This rehabilitation with fixed teeth will restore the patient’s health, mastication and dental esthetics.

How are dental implants placed?
- Personalized diagnosis.
Before placing a dental implant, it is essential to perform a detailed diagnosis to evaluate the state of the bone, gum and occlusion. This allows us to determine if the implant is viable in each case.
- Implant placement.
A simple and painless procedure is performed under local anesthesia. In cases where the patient suffers from fear or anxiety, we can perform the procedure under conscious sedation.
- Prosthetic placement.
It is the structure that is fixed on top of the implant, which will replace the missing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants
What materials are used in dental implants?
Most implants are made of titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates easily with bone. There are also zirconium implants, which are a metal-free alternative.
Can I eat normally after having a dental implant?
Once the osseointegration is completed and the final crown is in place, you will be able to eat normally, even hard foods.
During the healing phase, a soft diet is recommended.
what happens if i don't replace a missing tooth?
A missing tooth can cause:
- Progressive loss of maxillary bone.
- Displacement of adjacent teeth.
- Biting or chewing problems.
- Deterioration of facial esthetics.
How much recovery time is needed after surgery?
The initial recovery takes between 3 and 7 days, depending on each patient. Complete integration of the implant with the bone may take 3 to 6 months.
Can I have dental implants if I am a smoker?
Smoking can negatively affect the healing process and increase the risk of implant failure.
Although by taking certain preventive measures, we can reduce the negative effects of tobacco.
What is the process of dental implant placement?
The process of dental implants can vary from person to person, but generally consists of several stages, and the total time can range from 3 to 4 months. These stages are:
- Implant placement (1 day): The implant is placed under local anesthesia.
- Stitch removal (1 week): Stitches are removed after surgery.
- Radiographic control (2 months): Control radiographs are taken to monitor the integration process.
- Implant integration (3 months): The implant fuses with the bone.
- Crown placement (after 3 months): Once the implant is integrated, the final crown is placed. Recovery is quick and does not interfere with your routine.
Who is a candidate for a dental implant?
Most people with good oral and bone health are candidates. It is necessary to have sufficient bone in the implant area and no active periodontal disease.
A prior examination will determine suitability.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The entire process may take 3 to 4 months, depending on bone healing (osseointegration). In some cases, temporary crowns can be placed on the same day of the procedure.
how much does an implant cost?
The cost of treatment varies from case to case, depending on:
- Implant placement: Implants in the posterior part prioritize mastication, while in the anterior part a good esthetic result is also sought together with functionality.
- Gingival grafts: If the gingiva is not of sufficient quality or quantity, it may be necessary to perform grafts to protect the implant and improve integration with the natural teeth.
- Bone condition: If the bone is insufficient due to previous bone loss, periodontal disease, or trauma, it will be necessary to regenerate it before placing the implant.
In conclusion, all these factors directly influence the cost of treatment, as each case is unique. Therefore, it is essential to make a visit and a personalized study to evaluate the specific needs of each patient and determine the appropriate plan.
What if I don't have enough bone for an implant?
If the bone in the mandible or maxilla is not sufficient, there are several solutions:
- Sinus lift: Procedure to increase the amount of bone.
- Bone grafting: Bone material is added to the area to regenerate lost bone.
- Short or angled implants: Options designed to fit areas with less bone.
Does it hurt to get a dental implant?
During the placement process at the clinic, the treatment is completely painless since the patient is under local anesthesia. Afterwards, if necessary, an analgesic will be prescribed to completely control the discomfort at home.
