What is an implant?

Implants are artificial roots made of pure titanium that are placed in the jawbone or in the maxilla bone, creating a solid foundation to restore from a single tooth to all teeth.

Implantology represents one of the areas of dentistry has evolved most rapidly in recent years, which has caused more and more people to choose to restore their missing teeth with implants.

From a functional point of view , dental implants are similar to our natural teeth, which allows us to chew with total comfort, to smile, to speak and, ultimately, to feel as confident as we do with our own teeth.

What implants do we use?

There are many different types of implants and techniques for placing them. In our clinic we avoid low cost materials that generate significant medical problems in the short and in the long term.

In Empuriabrava Dental Clinic, our team of surgeons have selected the BTI implants as the quality implant system for our patients.

BTI - Biotechnology Institute

It is a internationally recognized leading company in biomedical innovation, which:

• Provides the widest range of diameter and length varieties for the implants. This enables us to offer you the most appropriate treatment.
• It is known for offering the highest quality and exceeds European standards and American FDA.

The unique combination of BTI implants and PRGF system creates the best bioactive surface in the market, which leads to a higher quality bone growth around implants.

Customized solutions

Each patient is assessed both by the team of surgeons and by the dental implant prosthetics specialists. In this way we offer the most appropriate treatment for each specific clinical situation.

I'm missing a tooth :

The absence of a tooth due to a bone loss through periodontitis, to very advanced tooth decay or to a trauma may cause a significant impact either on an aesthetic or on a functional level . The dental implant’s aim is to replace the lost tooth in a permanent, stable and conservative way, since it will not need additional treatments to neighboring teeth like crowns or additional hooks with removable prostheses.

I'm missing a few teeth:

When you lose several teeth, the functional ability to chew food decreases causing a more difficult digestion and an overload for the remaining teeth. Luckily we have several options to replace missing teeth, such as removable dentures or bridges on neighboring teeth. Undoubtedly the most suitable solution in most cases is to replace them with a bridge on implants since it is the most natural way to return to chew in a natural way.

I'm missing all teeth:

Today , patients who have lost all their teeth, whether in the upper jaw , jaw or in the two arches can benefit from the functionality and aesthetics that a complete rehabilitation with implants provides. Complete classic removable prostheses are widely put overcome by fixed rehabilitations on implants , greatly improving the quality of life of our patients.

I have little bone:

In some cases, where in addition to missing teeth a major bone resorption has occurred, it is necessary to apply additional techniques to the implants. These bone regeneration techniques, through the use of biomaterials and growth factors from the patient himself (PRGF ), help the growth of new bone which finally allows implant placement .

Teeth in one day:

For the most demanding patients, Empuriabrava Dental Clinic offers the possibility of replacing missing teeth with a new permanent implant prosthesis ready in 24 hours. In this way the patient can enjoy a pleasant and functional result with minimal waiting time.

Not all patients can benefit from this technique. A complete clinical, radiological and functional assessment is necessary to investigate the possibilities.

Computer assisted implantology

Technological progress in dentistry allows us to diagnose and plan each case from three-dimensional models obtained through a digital x-ray of the mouth.

We are equipped with a powerful implant surgery computer software (BTI Scan III and Galileo implant) which allows us to realize a surgical template to place implants with increased safety and accuracy.
