Birbe Clinic: benchmark in dental implants in Barcelona
One of the most effective solutions for replacing missing teeth due to the fall and loss of teeth is undoubtedly dental implants. But what specifically are these implants? Well, as specialists in dental implants in Barcelona, in this article we will tell you everything you need to know about this treatment that will give you back your beautiful smile.
A dental implant has an external shape similar to a screw, normally made of titanium. It is inserted into the jawbone and acts as a dental root. A prosthesis or dental crown is applied to this screw, which has the shape and design of the tooth to be replaced, i.e. it has the appearance and functionality of the actual lost tooth.
Although 95% of implants are made of titanium because it is biocompatible, you can also find zirconium implants, which offer a very aesthetic result, but they have a disadvantage: they are not as versatile.
At Birbe Clinic we have the solution for the most demanding patients. We have a three-dimensional analysis technology that allows us to plan the surgery virtually, considering the appropriate design of the definitive prosthesis, whether fixed or removable, before the surgery for dental implants.
Types of dental implants and prices that exist
There are different criteria for classifying dental implants. One of them is the one that classifies them according to the position in which they are placed. The first ones were those that were placed between the maxillary bone and the gingival tissue, i.e. subperiosteal implants. Their purpose is to support dental prostheses. However, they were treatments that caused infections and damage to the bone, so their durability was reduced.
Following these problems, intra osseous implants came onto the scene in the 1970s. These are titanium implants which, when inserted into the bone, offered a more solid union and, therefore, provided greater durability and a high success rate for treatments.
At Birbe Clinic, we are specialists in the grafting of zygomatic dental implants, ideal for cases with very atrophic jaws. Thanks to these, our professionals avoid having to make bone grafts, thus speeding up the prosthetic rehabilitation time and providing a better quality of life.
However, we also perform bone grafts for those patients who require them. We have different types of bone grafts and techniques. Normally, we carry out one in which the patient himself is the donor, or we use synthetic grafts. In fact, both grafts can be used in the same operation.
In the case of the patient’s own grafts, the surgery to be performed is very minimally invasive, since, under local anaesthesia, a small amount of bone can be obtained from another part of the mouth and placed in the affected area.
However, there are cases in which the bone loss is very severe, so a bone and gum tissue augmentation technique must be carried out before the placement of the dental implant.

What are zygomatic implants, dental implants without bone graft?
Patients suffering from severe atrophy of the upper jaw should seek this type of implant. This treatment consists of applying implants that are placed in the malar or zygoma bone, offering great results. Thanks to this treatment, the patient can recover the ability to chew and the aesthetics of their smile.
What is dental implant prosthesis surgery like?
Provisional dental prostheses and crowns allow the patient to enjoy a new tooth, made with special biocompatible materials adapted to the recently placed implants, from the day the implant is placed. However, these must be replaced after a few months, while the osseointegration of the implants consolidates, by definitive prostheses made with materials that are stable over time. But what are the surgical steps? First, the implants are placed in the maxillary bones following the previous planning, an incision is made in the gum to expose the bone. Stitches must be made at the end of the surgery. It is an atraumatic surgery, very meticulous and careful with the spindle. The postoperative period is comfortable and well controlled by medication. On the other hand, a few months of osseointegration are necessary before placing dental crowns or definitive bridges. In the case of the upper jaw, the wait will be about 4 months. In the case of the mandible, 2 or 3 months. If bone grafting has been performed at the same time as the implant placement, the waiting time can be longer, sometimes up to 6–8 months.
