Faced with the need to put on a implant<\/strong> it is logical that fears and doubts arise regarding a surgical procedure, but, placing an implant is an act minimally invasive<\/strong> and careful, which is more similar (in terms of sensations and discomfort) to a filling than to an extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is true that there are complex cases <\/strong>where, due to lack of bone, we have to resort to complex regeneration techniques, but these are the minority. Currently, short, narrow implants are preferred to regenerative surgery based on recent scientific research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the size of an implant, the standard diameter is 4 mm and the length is 10 mm, i.e. smaller than a bean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treatment is completely painless, <\/strong>performed under local anaesthesia. There is only a slight vibration and a salty taste due to the use of saline which cleans and keeps the temperature of the instruments stable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, many patients do not even require analgesic treatment, as they do not usually hurt or become inflamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are different techniques for implant placement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. STANDARD IMPLANT: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the form most common<\/strong> to place the implants and we carry it out when there is no longer a tooth and we have sufficient bone both in width and height and masticatory or keratinised gum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It consists of a minimally invasive surgery through an eyelet in the gum or by making a small incision <\/strong>access to be able to locate the bone. Subsequently, after passing several drills to prepare the space, we place an implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point there are two alternatives during the healing period:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
