Implantology, everything you need to know

Without a doubt, at Sermadent Clinics we believe that dental implants are a long-lasting and comfortable replacement for a tooth. We have great specialists with years of experience to assess each of the cases personally.

What you need to know before getting a dental implant

Most people usually have several doubts regarding implantology and today we want to solve them:

Are implants painful?

We can definitely assure you that it is not painful. The extraction of the third molar (the wisdom tooth) is usually more traumatic. What hurts the most is the puncture, since it is done with local anesthesia. But we have great specialists who will make it as pleasant as possible.

How long does a dental implant last?

The time that the implant lasts in the mouth is usually throughout the life of the patient. Its success rate is between 85 and 95%. Although many times the overload of the molar teeth can fracture the material, in addition, poor oral hygiene implies a greater risk of inflammation of the tissue surrounding the implants. Therefore, regular dental exams are essential.

The resistance of the material of the implants is durable to ensure that the implant remains permanently in the patient’s mouth without any complications.

What is the price of a dental implant

Implants require procedures and material means with great technical sophistication, which is why they have a higher price than other alternatives. Even so, the cost-benefit ratio is much more favorable than any other alternative, since it has a very high and proven long-term reliability.

Are there chances that they can be rejected by the body?

Well, the probability of being rejected by the body is very small and, if that were the case, once healed, it could be removed and replaced by another implant. It is unlikely since most implants are made of surgical titanium, a material that has proven to be biocompatible, bioinert, stable, capable of integrating with the bone and very well tolerated by soft tissues.

What is the process to perform a dental implant?

After answering the most common questions, we are going to explain a little more in depth how it is done and the times.

First of all, you should know that it is done in several appointments. If the patient did not have that piece and the gum was completely healed, work would begin, but if the patient wants to remove it, it will be necessary to wait a few months until the gum is completely healed.

The first session, after having studied the tooth, size, etc. The screw will be placed and will be embedded in the bone of the mouth. Depending on the hardness of the gum, the second piece can be added where the tooth will be embedded or, it will be closed, it will heal and then the next piece is embedded.

Finally, when the second phase is healed, the tooth can be added to complete the full treatment.

At Sermadent Dental Clinics we take great care and delicacy with dental implants, since we understand the fear that something like this can cause, although you will be able to verify how it is nothing to worry about, since it is practically painless and the benefits are very great.
