Among the benefits they bring is the one that will not affect the functions of your mouth, in addition to improving the phonetics that your voice has when speaking.
If you are a tourist, after resting and taking a breath in our incredible Playa del Carmen, you can go to your scheduled appointment where one of our dentists specialized in dental implants will check the health status of your mouth.
Placement
procedure
After obtaining this initial appointment, in a next visit we will make a small incision to be able to fix the implant to your bone so that it does not move. The bone in your jaw will grow over the implant, a process known as osseointegration, while the incision heals. Which means that the titanium in the implant integrates perfectly with the bone. Depending on the X-rays, the final fixed teeth will be placed within 3 to 6 months once the osseointegration is complete.
While in the paradisiacal Playa del Carmen you will have plenty of reasons to smile.

If more than two adjacent teeth are missing, this space can be closed with a bridge. Healthy teeth must be trimmed so they can support the bridge, overloading the bridge could cause the bone to resorb and loosen the teeth. In these cases implants are also ideal as they can be used both to close the gap as well as to provide additional support for the bridge and no removable dentures will be required.
With great care your dentist will prepare the surgery to insert your implants. Therefore, first, your health and mouth will be reviewed before planning the surgery. Once all the medical and anatomical requirements are met, there is no age limit for this type of treatment.
This operation is comparable to a surgical tooth extraction, local anesthesia is applied to the jaw and the area where the implant is to be inserted is opened. After the operation, the area is sutured so that the implant can heal.
Temporary restoration
After the placement of the implant or implants, during the healing period in some cases a temporary prosthesis can be placed that the patient can use for aesthetic purposes. This prosthesis is generally removable and not to load the implant and allow good hygiene of the area. Once the osseointegration period has elapsed, the definitive restoration will be prepared, whether it is an individual crown, a bridge or a total denture.
It is worth mentioning that it is the responsibility of each patient to take care of their teeth properly to ensure that they remain in place for a longer time.
Implant duration
Today, almost all implants are made of titanium, that is; a biocompatible metal especially compatible with the fabric and which is not known to have any type of allergic reaction.
These are held firmly in the bone and sealed directly to the gums to provide a firm foundation and long-lasting dental restoration.
The duration of your implants essentially depends on your oral hygiene. Improper dental care can cause infections, which in extreme cases, can lead to implant failure. On the contrary, if they are given proper care, they will remain comfortable and safe for a long time.
You will have a lot to do with the success of your implant operation. A confident smile will be the reward of proper care and attention.
