Dental implants

Dental implants have become one of the best treatment options to replace missing teeth.

The implants, made of titanium, are placed in the jaw bones, from where they serve as the base of the prosthesis or crown, which gives an aesthetic similar to that of natural teeth.

Dental implant surgery is recommended for those looking to ditch uncomfortable dentures and opt for a more comfortable and long-lasting option.

Because the titanium root of the implant is integrated with the bone tissue, it provides greater support, which helps to eliminate discomfort when eating any type of food and when speaking.

And, as if that were not enough, with the necessary care, they can last many years, even a lifetime.

All-on-4

The All on 4 is a cost-effective solution for those who are tired of the limitations of full dentures and for patients with end-stage periodontal disease.

This advanced, minimally invasive implantology technique consists of the placement of four osseointegrated dental implants per arch, which helps to avoid the long waiting times of conventional treatments.

In addition, the patient will leave the surgery with a fixed prosthesis, which will allow him to recover a dental arch with immediate function from the first day of the intervention, without grafts and with only four implants.

Zygomatic Implants

Zygomatic implants are the ideal treatment for patients who have partially or totally lost their maxillary bone; as well as for whom bone regeneration techniques, such as grafts or sinus lifts, do not guarantee the expected results.

These implants take their name from the place where they are fixed: the zygomatic bone or cheekbone.

Because only one intervention is needed, patients recover their quality of life immediately.

Bone Graft

Dental bone grafting is a necessary surgical procedure in patients with bone loss in the jaws.

Through bone tissue transplantation, diseased or damaged jawbones are repaired and reconstructed, which facilitates bone formation and promotes wound healing.

Often this process is done as part of other dental treatment, especially before dental implants.

In this way, we make sure that the patient has a strong and healthy bone that can support it.

Jaw reconstruction

Reconstructive jaw surgery improves the function and aesthetics of congenital deformities or those caused by accidents, burns and pathologies.

This surgical intervention is performed through pre-prosthetic bone graft surgery, together with autologous growth factors or fibrin, and biological membranes, as the case may be.

The main purpose is to restore sufficient bone support to allow proper implant placement and dentofacial harmony and aesthetics, or to restore functionality in cases of sequelae, significant atrophies, and syndromes.

To avoid further complications, it is recommended to extract it before its root structure is fully developed.

Reconstruction of Facial Injuries

A facial trauma occurs in the form of a fracture, when an impact acts on the bone and it cannot absorb it.

It has been detected that the most common causes are traffic accidents and assaults.

Faced with this type of fracture and to avoid long-term problems, such as loss of functionality, irregularities in the bite, and poor aesthetics in the smile, it is advisable to perform an almost immediate surgical intervention to repair the lesion on the face. or the jaw.

For specialized care, before the intervention, a thorough examination must be carried out to determine the exact situation of the affected area.
