Partial implant

Partial implant treatment (or partial dental implant) is a dental procedure designed to replace one or more missing teeth without the need to restore the entire arch. Unlike removable prostheses, partial implants are fixed directly to the jawbone, providing greater stability, aesthetics, and chewing function similar to natural teeth.

How Partial Implants Work

The procedure consists of inserting a titanium pin (the implant) into the bone to act as the root of the tooth, covered by a customized crown.

Indication: Patients who have lost one or more teeth but still have healthy natural teeth in the arch.

Components: Titanium pins (artificial root), abutment (connector), and crown (artificial tooth).

Advantages: Does not damage adjacent teeth (unlike conventional fixed bridges), improves chewing, and prevents bone loss in the area.

Treatment Phases

The process usually occurs in stages over a few months:

Consultation and Planning: Clinical exams and X-rays (3D/tomography) to evaluate the bone and plan the position.

Installation Surgery: The titanium pin is inserted into the bone under local anesthesia.

Osseointegration: Healing period of 1 to 6 months, during which the bone grows around the implant, ensuring its fixation.

Abutment and Crown Placement: Once integrated, the intermediate piece is placed, followed by the final crown.

Immediate Loading (Optional): In specific cases, it is possible to place a temporary prosthesis on the same day as the surgery.
