Dental Implants Mallorca

Dental implants are a long-term solution for tooth loss. Consisting of a titanium or zirconia structure, they are inserted into the jawbone and act as an artificial root. A dental prosthesis, such as a crown, bridge or full denture, is then placed on top. This article will discuss the different types of dental implant, the factors to consider when choosing one and the placement and maintenance process.


We will also be introducing the Full Arch treatment, a revolutionary option that enables you to have fixed teeth from day one.

There are several types of dental implant, which differ in terms of their shape, size and placement in the jawbone. The three main types are:

These are the most common type of implant. Consisting of a screw or cylinder, they are inserted into the jawbone to provide support for the dental prosthesis. The shape and size of endosteal implants can vary depending on the type of prosthesis to be fitted.

This type of implant is placed on top of the jawbone and beneath the gum. They are used when the jawbone is too narrow or shallow to support an endosteal implant.

These implants are inserted through a hole that has been drilled into the jawbone. As they are more invasive than other types of implant, they are only used in special cases where additional support for the dental prosthesis is required.

Several factors should be taken into account when selecting a type of dental implant. These include:

It is important that your gums and jawbone are healthy before a dental implant is placed. If you have periodontal disease or an underlying health condition affecting the bone, you will require preliminary treatment before the implant can be placed.

The success of a dental implant largely depends on the amount and quality of bone available in the jaw. If the bone is too thin or shallow, a bone graft will be needed before the implant can be placed.

Dental implants should look natural and blend in with your other teeth. It is important that the size, shape and colour of the dental prosthesis are right for you.

The dental implant placement process consists of several stages:

The first step is to carry out a full evaluation of your oral and general health. A radiograph will also be taken to assess the amount and quality of your jawbone. Based on these results, we will plan the placement of the implant and determine the type of dental prosthesis to be used.

A small incision is made in the gum and the implant is inserted into the jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and you may experience some discomfort afterwards.

A successful dental implant depends on the healing and osseointegration process. During the first few weeks after surgery, the implant fuses with the jawbone. It is important to follow your dentist’s instructions during this time and avoid eating hard or sticky foods.

Dental implants require a similar level of care and maintenance to natural teeth. It is important to brush and floss daily and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups. Over time, adjustments or repairs to the prosthesis may also be necessary.

Dental implants are placed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during the procedure. You may experience some discomfort afterwards, but this can be managed with painkillers.

Not everyone is a suitable candidate for dental implants. Your dentist will assess your individual case to determine whether they are suitable for you, as certain factors influence this decision.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist regularly are important for keeping the implants in good condition.

The Full Arch treatment is an option for people who have lost many or all of their teeth and have a limited amount of jawbone. It involves placing four dental implants in the jawbone onto which a fixed dental prosthesis is fitted. The main advantage is that patients can enjoy a fixed, natural-looking prosthesis from day one, without having to wait for the implants to integrate with the jawbone.


Additionally, the Full Arch treatment requires fewer bone grafts than other types of dental implants, making it a more cost-effective and less invasive option.

Dental implant specialists in Mallorca

Dental implants are a highly sought-after procedure. Many people are reluctant to smile due to missing teeth, which can have a negative impact on their self-esteem and confidence.

Beyond aesthetic concerns, missing teeth can lead to functional problems that may affect other parts of the body. That’s why we specialise in dental implants in Mallorca, combining the latest technology with the expertise acquired through years of experience.

 

One of our most popular procedures is the Full Arch technique. This procedure combines surgery with prosthetics, enabling patients to leave the clinic with their new teeth in place on the same day. Thanks to this procedure, it is now possible to place a dental implant without bone grafting, which was previously either impossible or extremely complex.

Our commitment to staying at the forefront of advancements has made us the clinic of choice for discerning patients seeking dental implants in Mallorca.

What are the benefits of getting dental implants in Mallorca?

Dental implants are the best solution for permanently and naturally replacing missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures or bridges, implants integrate into the bone, providing stability and functionality similar to that of natural teeth. This enables you to chew without difficulty and speak normally, while also preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

 

Alongside the functional benefits, dental implants improve the appearance of your smile by eliminating gaps and restoring facial harmony. As they are a long-lasting solution, patients can enjoy a higher quality of life, free from concerns about instability or discomfort. At Clínica Estanislao Planas, we use only the highest quality materials to ensure the most natural-looking and optimal results.

The dental implant procedure in Mallorca is carried out in several phases. First, an assessment is conducted using X-rays or a 3D scan to evaluate the amount of available bone and plan the procedure. Then, in a minimally invasive surgical procedure, the implant is inserted into the upper or lower jawbone.

 

After placement, the osseointegration process begins, during which the bone fuses with the implant to ensure its stability. This process can take between three and six months, depending on the patient. Finally, the permanent dental crown is placed; this is custom-designed to provide an optimal aesthetic and functional result. At Clínica Estanislao Planas, we use advanced technology and bone regeneration techniques for this process if needed.

No, it is performed under local anesthesia, so patients do not feel any pain during the procedure. We also offer conscious sedation in some cases, especially for patients with dental anxiety or fear, to provide added comfort.

 

After surgery, it is normal to experience mild discomfort or swelling in the treated area, but this can easily be managed with the painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication prescribed by the specialist. Most patients can resume their normal activities the following day. At Clínica Estanislao Planas, we make sure that the treatment is as safe and minimally invasive as possible to ensure a quick recovery.

The healing time varies depending on the patient and the quality of the bone available. Generally, osseointegration — the process by which the implant naturally fuses with the bone — takes between two and four months.

 

If the patient requires prior bone regeneration, the healing time may be slightly longer. However, in cases of good bone quality, it is sometimes possible to place the final crown in a shorter timeframe. At Clínica Estanislao Planas, we provide detailed aftercare throughout the healing process to ensure the implant integrates correctly and lasts for years to come.

Dental implants in Mallorca are made from high-quality, biocompatible materials designed to ensure durability. The most commonly used material is titanium, which is highly resistant and integrates perfectly with bone tissue, preventing rejection.

 

There are also zirconia implants available, which are a metal-free, aesthetic alternative used in specific cases. Here at Clínica Estanislao Planas, we use only the best materials on the market to provide long-lasting, safe implants that look natural and suit each patient’s smile.

If properly cared for, dental implants in Mallorca are designed to last a lifetime. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular check-ups at the clinic can increase the long-term success rate of implants to over 95%.

 

However, factors such as smoking, poor hygiene or periodontal disease can affect their durability. At Clínica Estanislao Planas, we provide our patients with all the necessary guidance to help them keep their implants in excellent condition for years.

The cost varies depending on several factors, such as the number of teeth to be replaced, whether bone regeneration is needed, and the type of crown used.

 

Here at Clínica Estanislao Planas, we offer financing plans to help our patients access quality treatment without exceeding their budget. The best option is to schedule a consultation so we can assess your case individually and provide you with a tailored quote based on your needs.
