IMPLANT, ESTHETIC & PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY
The high clinical success of dental implant restorations in the last
three decades has position this type of therapy as the number one
option for the replacement of missing teeth.
Dental implants are a special type of titanium screws that are placed
in the mandible/maxillary bone and are used to assist the retention
and stability of a prosthesis that replaces either a single missing
tooth, multiple missing teeth or all the teeth in the mouth.
Implant therapy consists of two phases:
-Surgical phase. The placement of one or multiple implants in the
areas where teeth are missing.
-Prosthetic phase. The fabrication of a prosthesis supported/retained
by implants that replaces the missing teeth giving back function and
improved esthetic appearance to the patient.
Current technology, procedures and implant designs allow us to
shorten treatment times significantly and to eliminate patient
discomfort during and after treatment.


Advantages of Dental Implant therapy
- Most effective and conservative way to replace a missing tooth.
- Best long term prognosis and more cost effective treatment.
- Preservation of existing bone and prevention of future bone loss.
- Provides retention, stability and support to loose and uncomfortable
dentures,single crowns and bridges.
- Improved masticatory function and esthetic appearance.
- Highly predictable.
- Replacement of missing teeth and restoration of function in one day
for ideal candidates.
