Dental implants in Benidorm

What is a dental implant and when is it needed?

A dental implant is a titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth and fuses with the jawbone. A crown is then fixed on top, restoring the shape and function of the natural tooth without having to file down or rely on the neighbouring teeth, unlike a traditional bridge.

In simple terms, an implant has three parts: the titanium screw that acts as an artificial root, an abutment that connects that root to the visible part, and the final crown, made to measure so it matches the rest of your teeth in colour and shape.

It is recommended when one or more teeth are missing, whether because of an extraction, an injury or advanced gum disease. Replacing the tooth sooner avoids two common problems: neighbouring teeth drifting into the gap, and the bone in the area shrinking over time from lack of stimulation.

Unlike a removable denture, an implant does not come out and does not rest on the gums: it stays fixed, like any other tooth. And unlike a dental bridge, it does not require grinding down the healthy teeth next to it to hold it in place, because it has its own support in the bone.

Not every patient is an immediate candidate: some uncontrolled systemic conditions, heavy smoking or very poor oral hygiene can affect treatment. We review this in your medical history at the first visit, together with the condition of the bone on the 3D scan.

How we do it at Arango Dental Clinic

We start with a 3D intraoral scan that lets us see the condition of your bone precisely, here in Benidorm, before proposing any treatment. That information becomes a digital plan: we know in advance where and at what angle each implant will be placed, rather than deciding during the procedure.

We use high-quality titanium implants, placed under local anaesthetic at the clinic itself. If there is not enough bone to hold the implant properly, we explain this at the initial assessment and consider whether a bone graft is needed first.

In the days after placement, some mild swelling is normal and is usually managed with the guidance we give you. Most patients return to their normal routine within a day or two, avoiding hard foods on the treated area until the check-up.

The process, step by step

Price

The price of a dental implant depends on several factors: the number of teeth to be replaced, whether a bone graft is needed first and the type of crown chosen. That is why we do not give a fixed figure without first assessing your case in person.

We prefer to be clear about this: any figure you see before an in-person assessment is only a guide. At your initial assessment, which is free and without obligation, we look at your 3D scan and give you the real quote, so you know exactly what you need, what you will pay and why.
