Dental implant - The DENT ESTET Implantology Masterplan

The implantologist will assess your case and medical history, discuss your expectations and explain the available treatment options. For the immediate treatment procedure to be successful, it is vital that the dentist clinically assesses whether the conditions are met to ensure implant stability immediately after placement.  

The coordinating dentist will carry out a thorough clinical assessment, including X-rays and CBCT scans, to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the immediate treatment procedure. Dental imaging provides the dentist with information about the quality of the supporting bone, on which the stability of the implant depends immediately after placement.  

Using 3D intraoral scanning, the dentist can plan the position of the future implant and the laboratory will plan the prosthetic restoration.

If certain conditions are not met, the standard treatment procedure is the recommended solution. 

On the day of the procedure, the implantologist will carry out several steps in a single session:

• If necessary, they will remove the irreparable tooth that is to be replaced.
• They will place the dental implant either in the healed site or at the extraction site.
• The temporary dental crown produced by the Aspen dental laboratory will be immediately attached to the implant, provided the clinical situation allows it. This step is important for aesthetic restoration and for maintaining the gum line during the healing process following implantation.

From the day of the procedure, you can enjoy a functional restoration of your teeth, which will look and feel just like a natural tooth.

Your dentist will provide you with a set of instructions to follow at home during the healing period, and the medical team and Patient Care Coordinator will monitor your progress closely.

10–14 days after the procedure, you will return to the implantologist for a check-up.

After a few months, the implant and gum tissue are ready for the final prosthetic restoration to be fitted.

During the prosthetic consultation, the dentist will use the Trios 3Shape intraoral digital scanner, the Modjaw 4D scanner or the RayFace facial scanner to plan the future prosthetic restoration.

The patient’s digital data is sent to the Aspen laboratory, which will produce a final prosthetic restoration with a natural aesthetic appearance. 

The prosthodontist will replace the temporary prosthesis with the permanent prosthesis, made from durable materials. A fitting appointment may be required before the permanent prosthesis is cemented in place, so that the dentist can ensure that the new prosthesis is comfortable, functional and meets all aesthetic requirements.

To maintain the excellent results achieved, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene at home. During the healing period, and also after you have received your permanent prosthetic restoration, it is important to follow your dentist’s instructions regarding oral care.  

In addition to brushing your teeth and using auxiliary aids (oral irrigator, dental floss, mouthwash), you must return for a regular check-up and a prophylaxis session once every six months, or as recommended by your dentist.

In this way, you can enjoy the benefits of the Quality Assurance Certificate for all treatments carried out at DENT ESTET clinics.  

The dentist will review your dental and medical history, help you clarify your expectations, and explain the treatment options available to you. 

The coordinating dentist will carry out a thorough clinical assessment, including X-rays and CBCT scans, to determine the quality of the bone that will support the future implant. If deemed necessary, the dentist may recommend bone reconstruction procedures. 

If an implant is recommended to replace a tooth that cannot be saved, it will be extracted under anaesthetic. The area will require a healing period of several months, depending on the individual case. Your dentist will advise you on how to care for the area during the healing period. 

To place the implant, the dentist will make an incision in the gum and create a socket for the implant. This can be done under local or general anaesthetic. The dentist will then place a healing cap over the implant screw, which will help shape the gum line during the healing period.

During the osseointegration period, you will have a gap in your dentition. If you or your coordinating dentist opt for a temporary prosthetic solution, you can have a temporary crown fitted.

Depending on the treatment plan, the osseointegration process can take between 2 and 9 months, during which time you must follow the dentist’s instructions regarding diet and oral hygiene. 

Around 10–14 days after the procedure, you will return to the clinic for a check-up and to have the stitches removed. 

Once the implant site has fully healed, we can proceed to the final prosthetic stage.

The prosthodontist will take an impression, which will be sent to the Aspen dental laboratory. At this stage, the dentist may use the Trios 3Shape intraoral digital scanner, the Modjaw 4D scanner or the RayFace facial scanner to plan the future prosthetic restoration.

The patient’s digital data is sent to the Aspen laboratory, which will produce a final prosthetic restoration with a natural aesthetic appearance. 

To finalise the treatment plan, you will return for an appointment with the prosthodontist. You will be able to try on the final prosthesis so that the dentist can make the final adjustments. Once the final details have been sorted out, the dentist will be able to cement the final dental crown onto the implant.

The prosthetic restoration is now complete, and you can enjoy a functional and aesthetically pleasing result. 

To maintain the excellent results achieved, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene at home. During the healing period, and also after you have received your permanent prosthetic restoration, it is important to follow your dentist’s instructions regarding oral care.
