Dental implants

What a dental implant is

An implant is a small titanium screw that integrates with the bone and does the job of the root of a tooth that is no longer there. On top of it we fix a single crown, a bridge of several teeth, a full arch, or an anchoring system that makes a removable denture far more stable.

Titanium is a biocompatible material that the bone accepts and grows around over time. That is why a well-planned, well-cared-for implant can last for many years.

Who it is for

For anyone who has lost one or more teeth, or is about to, and wants to recover function and appearance without grinding down the neighbouring teeth. Also for people whose removable denture moves and who want more stability.

No two cases are the same: the amount and quality of bone, the condition of the gums and your general health all shape the plan. If there is gum disease, we treat it first.

How we do it at the clinic

Implant surgery is carried out by Dr Alejandro Brotons Oliver, oral surgeon. Beforehand, we carry out a complete study of your mouth, with X-rays and a digital scan where needed, to plan the exact position of each implant.

When the case calls for it, the periodontist, the orthodontist and the restorative dentist take part in the planning. We explain the alternatives and you receive a competitive quote, in writing and by email, before we start. Everything is explained in English.

After surgery, the implant needs time to integrate with the bone before the final crown is fitted. We see you through the check-ups and the maintenance afterwards.
