Implantology

Implantology treatments

Dear patient, if you are interested in getting an implant, stay with us, because you are on the right page. You probably have lots of questions about it and, above all, you will want to be sure you understand the whole process before taking the big step. Further down we have included the most frequently asked questions about implants, where you can find answers to your more general queries. But first, let’s start with the most important thing: what is implantology? Implantology is the speciality that allows us to replace lost teeth using artificial roots inserted into the bone: dental implants. Depending on the reason why the tooth has been lost (or is going to be lost), the type of treatment may vary; there are different techniques, from the most conventional to the most innovative, which allows the entire treatment to be carried out in a single day.

At Oralitá, all our implantology treatments focus on replacing the teeth we have lost, and how we do it depends on each patient’s needs. That is why our main goal is to provide individualised treatments that are tailored to each patient and can be carried out as comfortably as possible, always aiming for the best result. Our treatments range from immediate loading implants to full dental implants.

Immediate loading implants allow the prosthesis and the dental implant to be placed in a single day. In other words, in just one session the doctor can help you recover not only your oral health but also the appearance of your smile.

It is important to be aware that there are different manufacturers of implants on the market, and their quality can vary greatly. When we talk about quality, we are not only talking about the surgical component (the implant itself) but also about the prosthetic components. At Oralitá we have very high quality standards, which is why we can guarantee the implant for life.

To meet these quality standards, we have chosen the latest technology, which not only makes our work easier but also gives our patients the chance to avoid the discomfort of conventional treatments.

All this is thanks to CEREC, an incredible CAD-CAM tool with which we design and produce the pieces in 3D in a remarkably short time. This technology and the hands of Dr. Ricucci give us a privileged place among the best dentists in Barcelona, as a high-quality, trusted dentist and dental clinic. If you have any questions about the process, read on about CEREC treatment or book a free first appointment with us and we will explain it to you first-hand.

Speed. Top quality. Precision. Comfort.

How does CEREC work?

Step 1: intraoral scan

CEREC consists of a computer and a state-of-the-art camera called Primescan. This allows a quick and easy examination of the patient’s teeth and gums, which not only saves us a great deal of time but also spares patients uncomfortable moments and endless waiting. The camera scans the mouth using its intraoral scanner and creates an accurate 3D working model, in natural colour, of the patient’s whole mouth. This lets us gain in time, in the precision of the prosthetic manufacturing and in the type of material, as we do not use metals but 100% biocompatible materials.

In addition, it automatically designs a final solution on the computer.

Step 2: individual treatment plan

After analysing the complete scan of your mouth, a digital restoration design proposal is generated. This proposal is created according to your individual situation, so factors such as the number of teeth to be replaced, the condition of the jaw and that of the remaining teeth are all taken into account.

The advantage of using CEREC software is that we ensure outstanding quality throughout the entire implant process. The proposals it provides to the doctor for aesthetic restorations are based on biogeneric calculations. Thanks to its artificial intelligence and automation, the creation process is fast and very precise, as the scanner detects the natural shades of the tooth and its exact shape. Thanks to this biostatistical procedure, CEREC will generate an initial restoration proposal specific to each patient based on the teeth examined.

Step 3: producing the pieces

Once the CEREC proposal has been accepted, we move on to creating the pieces. CEREC includes a grinding and milling unit, where they are made. The polishing of the restoration design (that is, the pieces) is extremely precise, giving their surfaces incredible quality with smooth edges and very fine fissures. In addition, thanks to its powerful furnace, it finishes the pieces with perfect glazing and sintering.

Thanks to the speed of this machine, we can create a complete crown in a single session, with no temporary solutions or extra visits. What a technological breakthrough!

Step 4: placing the implants (or cementing the restorations)

Using a surgical technique, we place your dental implants with precision. This oral surgery is painless, mainly because the bone no longer has a nerve and also because we use anaesthesia so that we can work on the gum without any sensation. It is therefore a procedure without discomfort, with a very manageable recovery.

Implant quality at Oralitá

The dental implants we use at Oralitá guarantee the best quality currently on the market. We use the latest-generation “Tapered PRO” implants by BioHorizons, which give us not only exclusively original, high-end materials (Grade V titanium) but also extreme precision when placing the implant. In addition, we provide you with the best personalised implant assessment, with a result that ensures a perfect finish and a lifetime guarantee.

As for the prosthetic connection (between the base of the implant and the piece attached to it), at Oralitá we use an internal connection, as it offers a better final result and an unbeatable aesthetic effect. Both pieces join perfectly (authentic connection) and ensure the durability and stability of the implant.

For us, it is very important to maintain our quality standards and strengthen our commitment to our patients by choosing the best materials and the best brands. Thanks to this, we are proud to offer a high-quality, guaranteed and trustworthy service.
