What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a modern, safe solution that lets you replace a missing tooth without affecting the neighbouring teeth. Essentially, it is a screw made of titanium or zirconia, a biocompatible material, which integrates into the upper or lower jawbone and acts as an artificial root. A dental crown, bridge or even a denture is then fixed onto this support, depending on the case.

This gives you a fixed, natural-looking tooth that restores not only function but also confidence in your smile.

When is a dental implant recommended?

Unfortunately, not all of us are lucky enough to enjoy healthy teeth all our lives. Perhaps you too have already faced one or more missing teeth, periodontal problems or the discomfort of a removable denture.

A dental implant is recommended in several situations:

  • when you are missing one or more teeth and want a fixed, stable solution;
  • if you have compromised or very loose teeth and the dentist recommends extracting them;
  • if you wear a removable denture and are bothered by its lack of stability, difficulty chewing or a feeling of insecurity;
  • when you want a more predictable and longer-lasting option than conventional prosthetic restorations that rest on the neighbouring teeth;
  • to prevent bone loss, which occurs over time when a tooth is missing and the bone no longer receives stimulation.

Dental implant stages

1. Initial consultation and treatment plan

Everything begins with a detailed discussion and a set of investigations (X-ray, CT). This way, the dentist can assess your oral and bone health and propose a personalised plan: how many implants are needed, which type of prosthetic restoration is suitable and what the next steps will be.

2. Preparing for the implant

If needed, tooth extractions, periodontal treatment or bone grafting are carried out. These procedures prepare the ground so that the implant can be fixed correctly and remain stable in the long term.

3. Placing the dental implant

The implant, a small screw made of titanium or zirconia, is inserted into the bone in place of the root of the missing tooth. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you feel no pain. In many cases, post-operative discomfort is minimal and easily managed.

4. The osseointegration period

After placement, the implant needs a few months (usually between 3 and 6) to integrate into the bone. This process is called osseointegration and is essential for the future stability of the restoration. During this period, you can wear a temporary restoration so you are not left with unsightly gaps.

5. The prosthetic stage (fitting the dental crown)

Once the implant is fully integrated, an abutment is attached and the final crown is fitted on top of it. It is made from high-quality materials (ceramic, zirconia) and perfectly matched in shape and colour to your natural teeth.

6. Monitoring and care

A well-made dental implant can last for decades, but it is important to come back for regular check-ups and follow the rules of oral hygiene. This ensures that your investment lasts over time and that you can enjoy a healthy, stable smile.

What are the advantages of a dental implant?

  • Natural, aesthetic appearance – the crown fitted on the implant perfectly imitates the shape and colour of the natural tooth.

  • Stability and comfort – unlike removable dentures, implants stay fixed and cause no discomfort.

  • Full functionality – you can eat any food without restrictions and without fear of the restoration moving.

  • Protects neighbouring teeth – there is no need to grind down healthy teeth, as happens with conventional dental bridges.

  • Prevents bone loss – the implant stimulates the jawbone, maintaining its volume and health.

  • Long-term durability – with proper care and regular check-ups, implants can last a lifetime.

  • Improved speech – with no gaps or unstable dentures, pronunciation becomes clear and natural.

  • Greater self-confidence – a complete, healthy smile helps you feel more confident in any situation.

What is the role of a dental implant?

The role of a dental implant is to replace the root of a lost tooth and provide a solid base for a prosthetic restoration (crown, bridge or fixed denture). Essentially, it is the foundation on which your new tooth is built.

Its main roles are:

  • restoring the function of your teeth – it helps you chew properly and enjoy any food again;
  • maintaining bone health – it prevents the bone loss that occurs when a tooth is missing;
  • preserving the integrity of the neighbouring teeth – there is no need to grind them down to support the restoration;
  • restoring the aesthetics of your smile – the resulting tooth looks and feels like a natural one;
  • improving your quality of life – it gives you back your self-confidence, clear speech and everyday comfort.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about dental implants

We use modern implants made of titanium or zirconia, 100% biocompatible materials renowned for their perfect integration into the bone and long-term durability. The type of implant is chosen according to the clinical situation and each patient’s personalised plan.

In many cases, the implant can be placed immediately after extraction (immediate implant). In other situations, a healing period for the bone and gum of a few weeks to a few months is needed to ensure a solid base.

Yes, untreated gum disease can affect the stability of the implant. That is why, before the procedure, it is important for the gums to be healthy and, if necessary, for periodontal disease to be treated.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain. After the procedure there may be slight discomfort, which is managed with medication recommended by the dentist.

An implant is not recommended in cases of uncontrolled disease (poorly controlled diabetes, severe clotting disorders, active cancer), during pregnancy or for patients with poor oral hygiene.

Yes, patients with well-controlled diabetes can benefit from a dental implant. However, careful monitoring and close collaboration between the dentist and the attending doctor are needed.

Yes, modern implants do not interfere with imaging investigations such as MRI. The materials they are made from are safe and do not affect the procedure.

As a rule, local anaesthesia is used, similar to that used for ordinary dental treatments. In more complex cases or for anxious patients, conscious sedation may be used.
