Dental implants are long-lasting fixtures that are screwed into the jawbone and replace the lost or deteriorated tooth. It is an invasive treatment. It requires extracting the tooth root and creating the necessary space to install the screw to which the new, artificial but real-looking piece will be attached.

The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, and osseointegration usually takes a few months, necessary time for the bone to grow and fuse with the titanium of the implant to ensure it has a solid base and prevent its displacement.

During the waiting period between the placement of the screw and the final crown, you will have a temporary prosthesis to reduce the aesthetic impact of the treatment.

Despite being an invasive alternative, dental implants present very satisfactory results in terms of aesthetics and function.

Titanium screws are compatible with the bone, which grows around them and consolidates them. Once integrated into the bone, they present a very high durability and resistance if they have the proper hygiene to prevent food remnants from causing long-term complications.

These variables depend on the oral health and habits of the patient, issues that are examined in an initial visit. It is worth noting that dental implants are not suitable for everyone, and there are diseases and conditions, such as pregnancy, that advise against them.

Overall, the complete implantation process usually takes between 6 to 12 weeks to ensure proper healing and screw fixation.

Once the treatment is finished, the new piece will replace the original at all levels. It will be invisible to others, and you will not notice the difference. You will regain confidence in your smile and the peace of mind to eat and speak without problems.
