Dental Implants
Tenerife

Our specialists at Clínica Dental Raíces in Los Gigantes, Tenerife, have extensive training in dental implant procedures, ranging from the simple placement of a single implant to more complex cases that require multiple implants, grafts, and reconstructive techniques. Dental implants allow people who have lost teeth to enjoy a wide variety of foods with confidence, knowing their teeth look natural and their facial structure will remain intact.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium or ziconia/ceramic made replacements for roots, carefully placed into the jawbone in areas where teeth are missing. These implants function as substitutes for the dental roots. The jawbone fuses with the titanium, forming a solid foundation for artificial teeth. Once the implants are ready to be restored, small abutments are placed, serving as firm anchors for the replacement teeth. Additionally, implants help preserve facial structure by preventing the bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing.

Benefits of dental implants

By discovering and getting dental implants in tenerife at our clinic, you realize there is a way to improve your quality of life at an affordable price.

Losing several teeth, whether it's a recent situation or something you've lived with for years, can make it difficult to fully adjust to the absence of such an essential part of yourself. Dental implants can restore your self-confidence and peace of mind. They are recommended over other reconstructive techniques for several reasons. It's not ideal to compromise the structure of nearby teeth to place a bridge, and removing a partial or full denture every night can be uncomfortable. Additionally, dentures that slip can cause discomfort and embarrassment. Since implants are carefully placed into the jawbone, the recovery from the procedure is usually quick and with minimal discomfort.

Types of dental implants in
Tenerife

The type of dental implant treatment you can receive at our boutique dental clinic in tenerife will depend on your specific oral condition. Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth or to restore and replace multiple missing teeth. Our dental implant treatments are designed to meet a wide range of needs, and our specialists can recommend the most suitable solution to help you achieve the best possible results.

1. Single tooth implants

A dental implant is an ideal option to replace a single missing tooth due to the permanence of the procedure. The restoration is very similar to a natural tooth, as it completely replaces the missing tooth, from the root to the crown. Once the custom-made tooth is created and placed over the implant, you will have a permanent replacement that integrates seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

2. Implant-supported bridges

If you have several consecutive teeth that need to be replaced, an implant-supported bridge could be the ideal solution. This treatment involves placing two implant posts at the ends of the space where the teeth are missing, which act as anchors. A row of artificial teeth will be connected together, with the teeth at each end being fixed to the implant posts to hold them in place. This method is an excellent option for replacing several adjacent teeth without the need to place an implant for each individual tooth.

3. Implant-retained dentures

When a significant number of teeth are missing, implant-retained dentures are an ideal replacement solution. These dentures eliminate the discomfort and inconveniences of traditional dentures, as they are securely attached to dental implants placed strategically in the jaw. They are an excellent option for those seeking a more durable and stable alternative to conventional dentures.
