Dental implants in Medellin

For dental implants in Medellin, DentiOral is the best option, since we have certified implantologists and periodontists, as well as all the necessary instruments to guarantee the success of the treatment.

"At DentiOral we only use dental implants from the Straumann Group (#1 in the world)".

Dental implants are also known as artificial teeth; they are the ideal substitutes to replace the natural root of the tooth and serve as supports for other dental pieces, such as crowns, bridges, prostheses, etc. They are usually made of titanium, since it is a biocompatible material and does not generate rejection by the body.

With the advance of technology, it is now possible to implant teeth in a safe, fast and almost painless way. Implant prices vary depending on the number of units to be installed. They are usually inserted directly into the maxilla or mandible and then bonded to the bone of the facial structure.

dental implants in Medellin are currently the most used option to replace a dental piece, since they provide patients with a definitive solution. Before performing a surgery of this type, it is necessary to proceed with a bone graft so that the implanted screw has an excellent fixation.

When talking about the number of implants to be placed, this number is linked to the clinical conditions of each patient, for instance; the type of bone, the number of missing pieces and their state of health. In general, up to 10 implants can be placed in one appointment, depending on the complexity and the doctor's criteria. About the total duration of the surgery, placing each implant takes approximately 20 minutes.

In many cases, bone regeneration is performed in the same procedure of placing the dental implant; in other cases, it is not possible. After this, it is necessary to wait several months while the process of adhesion of the implant and the bone develops correctly (osseointegration).

In order to receive a dental implant, there is a requirement that is of utmost importance and it is the age, it is recommended that the growth of your jaws or facial growth is already completed and in men this occurs around 18 years, for women the time is a little longer. The most important thing is to attend an assessment appointment with one of our specialists to determine the feasibility. It is good to emphasize that there are few cases in which the procedure cannot be performed and this may be due to a particular pathology or disease.

At DentiOral we have an interdisciplinary team that includes specialists in oral rehabilitation and implantology so that together we can define the best treatment option, looking for the best price and benefit to the patient.

Types of dental implant treatment in Medellin

There are several types of treatments and protocols for dental implants and these depend on the clinical case of each patient, the three most common are:

1. A single tooth: a dental implant is placed for each missing tooth and a crown is restored for each implant. dental-implants
2. Several teeth: fewer implants can be placed to replace several crowns with a fixed prosthesis. dental-implants
3. All teeth: individual dental implants can be placed for each tooth or rehabilitated using a hybrid total prosthesis or overdenture but with less dental implants. dental-implants

Most used types of dental implants in Medellin

There are two main types of dental implants:

  • Titanium Implants
    Titanium is a 98% biocompatible metallic material and has a very high resistance. This type of dental implant can be used in all procedures. ACQUA dental implants are made of titanium, but they also have a hydrophilic surface that allows greater adhesion since it generates wettability throughout the contact with the implant. It is recommended for patients with pathologies and smokers, since this technology considerably increases the probability of success.
  • Zirconium Implant
    Zirconium is 99.9% biocompatible, white in color and metal-free. Not all patients are suitable for implants of this type. Although both are excellent, zirconium implants are newer and are currently having a boom, it should be noted that it is not always feasible to place them, this occurs when the rehabilitation process requires special attachments or accessories that are already developed and work very well with titanium dental implants.

Conditions for successful implants

  • Have a good amount of bone, this is evaluated by the specialist using diagnostic tests before proceeding with surgery.
  • No infections at the time of the dental implant procedure.
  • The procedure is performed by a specialist in implantology.
  • The implant is of an internationally recognized brand.

  • The crown or piece that is placed afterwards to replace the upper part of the tooth is placed by a specialist and also has high quality standards.

Main risks

The main risk is the rejection of the implant by the body or the not correct adhesion to the bone. These cases are mitigated by 99% with a correct procedure.

Frequently asked questions

How much rest time should be taken after a dental implant?

Generally, when a patient has dental implant surgery, he/she can continue to do all his/her activities as normal. The only recommendation is to avoid doing exercise for the first 36 hours or so. However, if the procedure suffers complications or requires any particular care, it will be the surgeon who will give the precise recommendations after the procedure.

What is the first step to know if I am suitable for dental implants in Medellin

Attend an assessment appointment where a tomography scan of the teeth to be recovered is planned.

What can happen when we lose a tooth?

  • Bone resorption
  • Chewing difficulty
  • Difficulty speaking
  • Aesthetic alterations
  • Movement of other teeth

Do all patients need bone and membrane?

No, it all depends on the bone resorption that each patient has; this can only be seen in a tomography scan.

How long does the process take?

It all depends on the clinical case of the patient.

  • Simple: implant and crown installation the same day.
  • Medium: bone regeneration and implant the same day. After approximately 5 months a crown is installed.
  • Complex: bone regeneration, 4 months approx. Then the implant is performed and we wait for another 4 months to install the crown.

Do I have to be without a tooth all that time?

If it is in the front part of the mouth, for aesthetics we will put a provisional tooth. If it is in the back part (molars), we try not to put anything, since it is more beneficial for the recovery of the implant.

What is the warranty on the dental implant?

DentiOral usa los implantes de la casa Straumann (#1 a nivel mundial) y el dispositivo tiene garantía de por vida. Cabe aclarar que el 99% de los implantes son asimilados por el cuerpo. En caso de haber rechazo biológico, DentiOral suministra el implante dental y el paciente debe asumir el costo de la cirugía y rehabilitación de coronas en caso de que ya las tenga instaladas.

What is the guarantee of bone grafting?

There is a 90% chance that the body will assimilate a graft. If it is rejected or biologically absorbed, the patient must assume the cost.

What is a dental implant?

A small device which can be made of titanium or zirconium and replaces the root of one or more teeth.

When an implant falls out, can it be reinserted?

Yes, it can be reinserted. If the first time it fails due to any factor, it does not mean that in a second surgery it will fail again. In any case, the doctor will try to determine the possible causes and will evaluate the correct protocol for a successful procedure.

Which is better: implants or dentures?

The best option will always be dental implants in Medellin; these can be a little more expensive but unlike removable prostheses, they will prevent movement. They are also a treatment that tries to mimic the root of human nature.

What is osseointegration?

Osseointegration can be described as the healing and adhesion between the implant and the bone so that the jawbone is structurally and functionally prepared to receive loads by means of dental crowns in the normal life of the patient.
