Turnkey dental implantation in Barcelona: main stages and deadlines
Having decided on the type of implant, you can proceed directly to the procedure of its implantation. Traditionally, the installation of a turnkey dental implant consists of three stages:
1. Preparatory dental implantation in Barcelona. It analyzes the condition of bone tissue and, if necessary, increases its volume (sinus lifting, splitting of the bone crest), eliminates gum and dental diseases, and draws up a treatment schedule.
Open sinus lifting is used if the bone height is less than 5-8 mm. The procedure at the dental clinic in Barcelona is quite complicated: first, an incision is made in the soft tissues, a hole is drilled into the bone, and osteoplastic material is placed in the resulting cavity. After the rehabilitation period, an implant is installed.
Closed sinus lifting is used when the bone height is from 5-8 mm. This is a more gentle procedure, because upon its completion there is no extensive tissue dissection and the patient does not need stitches.
Splitting of the bone ridge is also performed to increase the width of the bone tissue with a minimum bone width of up to 2 mm. The operation can be performed in one or more stages, depending on the condition of the bone. It includes anesthesia, soft tissue incision, and implant insertion.
2. The main one. In the absence of contraindications, the implant is installed and the process of its implantation is monitored. This happens as follows:
After applying local anesthesia, a gum incision is performed in the place where the implant is to be installed.
Then an implantation bed is formed in the same place.
Next, an implant is inserted / screwed into the resulting hole and closed with a special plug, which will later be replaced by an abutment. This is done to prevent tissue ingrowth into the implant channel.
The installation of a turnkey gum shaper is a component that ensures the correct contour of the gum during implant insertion.
At the final stage of dental implantation, the implant and the plug are completely under the edge of the gum, the wound above them is tightly sutured using special nodular sutures.
At this point, the implant installation is completed, and the patient has to wait 7-10 days before the sutures are removed.
3. The final one. At this stage of dental implantation, a turnkey crown is made and fixed to the implant. For this purpose, it is carried out:
A repeated incision of the mucous membrane, after which the plug is removed, and an abutment is installed in its place.
With the help of special tools, a doctor in Barcelona makes dental casts and makes their models, which serve as a prototype for a crown.
Then the doctor makes an individual crown (how many days it will take will depend on the chosen material, the complexity of the work, etc.) and attaches it to the abutment during the next appointment.
At the end of dental implantation, the necessary checks and cosmetic manipulations are performed.
As for the general timing of the dental transplant procedure, they are determined strictly individually. Whereas it may take less than a week for one person to complete the preparatory stage of implantation, it will take 2-3 months for another, the healing process will be faster for one patient, and slower for another, etc.
