possible to have a dental implant when you don&#8217;t have bone?&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>In cases where there is great bone loss, we always recommend the patient to start with other treatments.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This bone loss is often caused <\/span><b>by Periodontological diseases,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in which bacteria in the gums cause inflammation, which deteriorates tissue and bone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>With bone regeneration treatments it is possible to restore the physiognomy of the patient&#8217;s mouth and subsequently proceed with the placement of Dental Implants.<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What is the difference between an implant and a fixed prosthesis?&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants are titanium pieces to be applied to the patient&#8217;s bone, not visible, as if they were the roots of the teeth, while the fixed prosthesis is one of the options to apply over the implants, with the same shape as natural teeth.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How long is the Recovery time after placing a Dental Implant?&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two phases of placing Prosthetics over Dental Implants. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>When we place temporary prostheses, any slight pain or swelling that may exist is easily counteracted with anti-inflammatory and analgesics.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For about 6 months the body will heal the gums. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>After these 6 months, the body will be completely rehabilitated and permanent prostheses can be placed, which will not require recovery time.<\/strong>&lt; \/span&gt;[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;

essential to pay attention to your diet after undergoing an implant placement treatment, when the body needs to be strong to prevent infections and inflammation and promote rapid tissue regeneration and healing.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dentists advise that <strong>during the first week after the operation, consume cold foods and liquids and avoid the consumption of alcoholic beverages or tobacco.<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Does getting a dental implant hurt?&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>In all our Implantology treatments we use local anesthesia, or conscious sedation, in order to generate the greatest possible comfort for patients.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A curious fact is that when we get to the bone, where there is no nervous system, there would be no pain, even without the use of anesthesia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the hours after the operation, it is possible to feel some discomfort or swelling, but we make prescriptions to combat them.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row
