Dental implants in Granada
Thought out inside a plan for the whole mouth, not as loose parts.
The implant inside a full-arch plan
An implant replaces the root of a lost tooth. But when several are missing and the ones left are compromised, placing implants one at a time closes the gap and leaves the underlying problem untouched: a bite that no longer spreads the forces properly.
The bridge first, the screw after
We plan the opposite way round from the traditional one. First the definitive bridge is designed digitally — shape, height, the position of every tooth — and only then is it decided where the implants that will carry it should go. The cosmetic result depends almost entirely on that order.
How many implants are needed
Fewer than people usually imagine. A full arch does not need one implant per tooth: a small number, well distributed and correctly angled, will carry a fixed rehabilitation. Exactly how many depends on the bone available, and the CT scan says that.
Before planning we assess which of your own teeth can be kept. Keeping the ones with a good prognosis nearly always improves the final result.

At this clinic
The implant as part of a plan, not a loose part
At our Granada clinic most implant treatment is not single-tooth work: they are rehabilitations where several teeth are missing and the ones left are compromised. Placing an isolated implant in that situation deals with a symptom and leaves the cause alone.
So the workup is done over the whole arch. Which teeth can be kept, how many implants are needed and where, and what kind of bridge goes on top. All of it designed digitally before surgery, so the implants go where the bridge asks for them rather than the reverse.
Where the density and volume of bone allow, we use immediate loading and the patient leaves with a fixed temporary bridge within hours. Where they do not, we say so beforehand and plan a transitional solution.
- Planned over the whole arch, not tooth by tooth.
- Implant position set by the design of the bridge.
- A fixed temporary bridge the same day, if the bone allows.
- Prior assessment of which of your own teeth are worth keeping.
Types of dental implant
How the process works, step by step
-
Study and diagnosis
3D scan, intraoral scan and assessment of gum and bone. You leave the first visit with a diagnosis, not a generic quote.
-
Digital planning and guided surgery
We plan each implant position on the digital model and manufacture a custom surgical guide. Surgery is shorter and more precise.
-
Placement and temporary teeth
We place the implants and, where the case allows, an aesthetic temporary prosthesis the same day. You do not leave without teeth.
-
Final prosthesis and maintenance
Once the implant has integrated, we fit the definitive crown or bridge and set up a check-up plan.

Common questions
What patients usually ask us
01 How long before I can get back to normal after surgery?
In most cases people return to their usual routine within 24 to 48 hours. We recommend avoiding intense physical exercise for the first few days and keeping to a soft diet during the first week.
02 What care do dental implants need?
The same as a natural tooth: daily brushing, interdental cleaning and regular check-ups. An implant cannot decay, but the bone supporting it can be lost if hygiene slips, so professional maintenance is part of the treatment.
03 What is the difference between an implant and a bridge?
An implant replaces the root of the tooth and does not touch the neighbouring teeth. A conventional bridge requires grinding down the adjacent teeth to rest on them. That makes the implant the more conservative option when the neighbouring teeth are healthy.
04 Can I have implants if I currently wear a denture?
Yes, and it is one of the changes that most improves quality of life. Moving from a removable denture to fixed teeth on implants restores chewing strength, removes the need for adhesives and, by not covering the palate, brings back your sense of taste.
05 When will I see the final result?
Aesthetic, functional temporaries are fitted from the outset, so there is no period without teeth. The definitive work is fitted once the implant has integrated with the bone.
06 Am I too old for implants?
Age alone is not a contraindication. What matters is general health, bone quality and gum health. We routinely treat older patients.
07 What if I do not have enough bone?
Bone regeneration, sinus lift and zygomatic implant techniques make it possible to treat cases with severe bone loss. A diagnosis of "not enough bone" often means the case needs a specific technique, not that it has no solution.
08 How much does a dental implant cost?
It depends on the number of implants, the type of prosthesis and whether bone regeneration is needed first. We do not quote fixed prices without seeing the radiographic study: that would be a made-up figure. After the first assessment we provide a written quote detailing the full treatment.
