What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a safe and long-lasting dental solution to tooth loss. A dental implant is a component of titanium designed to replace the root of the tooth that through surgery is placed in the maxillary bones under the gum. This allows the dentist to embed the new tooth, prosthesis or replacement tooth and keep it in place.

What are the benefits of dental implants?
  •  Aesthetic benefits: Dental implants are a dental solution to replace lost teeth over time or diseases that affect dental health. This solution is the most aesthetic since this type of prosthesis gives the appearance of a natural tooth. Dental implants will greatly improve your appearance by giving you a more youthful appearance. The loss of teeth causes the alveolar bone to be reabsorbed and lose part of its bone structure (height and thickness) if it does not receive any external stimulus, ie; the placement of an implant, it is common that triggers facial aging.
  •  Safety: Dental implants are the treatment for dental loss with the highest success rates. It is a very safe dental solution since it does not affect the rest of teeth in the mouth. These high success rates are due to the fact that these implants manufactured with pure aluminum do not cause rejection; It is a highly biocompatible material.
  • The comfort of dental implants: In addition to having the same appearance as a natural tooth, dental implants give the same facilities, ie; You can eat, smile, talk as you did before. The new dental implants generate a feeling of comfort and stability with which you should not worry about anything.
  • Benefits for health: Not recovering the teeth after their fall causes the inclination of the adjacent teeth and the extrusion of the antagonist teeth that lose their function and containment. Therefore the replacement of teeth by means of a dental implant is not only an aesthetic question.
What components make up the dental implant?

Dental implants are composed of three clearly differentiated parts: The implant itself, the abutment and the crown:

  • The implant: The implant as we know it is a titanium screw in the maxilla. The objective of this screw or implant is to form a solid base for the tooth, ie; form a new root. Titanium is used because it is biocompatible, adapts and heals together with the bone tissue.
  • The abutment: The abutment is the connection between the implant and the crown. It is usually made of materials such as titanium or ceramic. Facilitates the adaptation of the 3 parts that make up the dental implant.
  • The crown: This is the last step when making a dental implant. Once the osteointegration has taken place and the dentist has embedded the abutment and the implant, the third element is placed; the crown, prosthesis or bridge.
    Once we know what is a dental implant and the parts of which it is composed, surely you are wondering What types of implants are there? And which are the most used and with the highest success rates?
Characteristics of a good dental implant

There are different types of dental implants and the first thing that must be taken into account is that each specific case has a specific solution, that is to say; There are types of dental implants more used than others, but it is advisable to be advised by an expert dentist. The general characteristics that a dental implant must have are:

  • It must be made of titanium material. This material is compatible with human cells, is biocompatible and offers very good results in adaptation and compatibility with the mouth.
  • A good dental implant must have a screw shape.
  • The neck must incorporate an external and internal anti-rotational system.

  • Types of dental implant according to its form
  • Total price of a dental implant
  • Recommendations for choosing a good dental implant
Types of dental implant according to its form

The most common way to classify dental implants is: Osseointegrated implants and subperiosteal implants.

  • The endo-osseous or osseointegrated implants:
    This type of dental implants are those that are surgically placed in the jaw bones or in the jaw bone. Once the osteointegration is complete, the dentist proceeds to place the new prosthesis.
  • Dental screw implants: They are the most used type of implant since their results have been the best to date. They are the ones that last longer and those that need less time to complete osteo-integration. Its shape is like a screw and said component is made of titanium.
  • Cylindrical dental implant: This type of dental implant is less used than the previous ones, however; They have small pores or perforations that allow the bone to develop inside and thus can be perfectly fixed. It is a slow process since the bone has to adapt to the implant. This is the reason why each day is more in disuse.
  • Dental implant of plates: Its effectiveness depends on the type of tooth in which it is integrated. They give very good results when a central incisor is replaced at the level of the maxilla, that is to say; when the bone is wide and deep. They are the least used and not recommended when the tooth loss is total and not partial.
  • Subperiosteal or juxta-osseous implants:
    This type of dental implant is less and less used. They are usually used in patients with a minimum bone height. By having a larger structure, they require major surgical operations and sometimes the perfect osteo-integration is not achieved. This type of implant consists of a metal structure or frame that is placed under the gums in the jaw bone. Its shape adapts to the bone to stay properly fixed.
Total price of a dental implant

When we think about getting a dental implant, one of the first questions we ask ourselves is: How much do dental implants cost? And the truth is that there is some uncertainty in this issue. The advertising campaigns of the dental clinics bomb with very different prices, in short, the price of a dental solution depends on many factors, which are:

  • The materials that comprise the dental implant: Dental implants are composed of implant, crown and abutment. The price of these components depends on the materials of which these three parts are composed, however; the part in which the prices differ the most is in the crown, since this finally replaces the real tooth.
  • The crown of the implant, which replaces the natural tooth, is the element in which the materials of which it is composed can vary the most. These can be made of metal, porcelain or ceramic.
  • The pillar that allows adaptation between the crown and the implant is usually made with materials such as titanium or ceramic.
  • The implant: The implant or screw; which replaces the root of the tooth is usually manufactured in titanium, a material that has been shown to be totally innocuous and with an optimal adaptation to the bone tissues of the mouth without creating any type of allergic reaction.
  • The quality of the materials: In addition to choosing between the different materials that make up the dental implant (metallic alloy, zirconium, resin, porcelain or ceramic) that are a factor that affects the overall price of this dental solution, the quality of the same is perhaps the most determining factor when establishing a price.
Recommendations for choosing a good dental implant
  • Price comparison: There are very attractive offers in the market, however; sometimes; It is not advisable to be carried away by them, since savings can affect the quality of materials.
  • Investigation of the materials of which the dental implant is made to make a good choice. Before exposing a treatment it is necessary to gather certain information about it. Look for information, ask for advice from a professional dentist, etc.
  • Analysis of the quality of the materials used in the dental implant. This is a very important step because this can depend on the duration of the implant, your comfort, and the facilities it provides such as chewing, etc.
