Maximum precision, esthetics and comfort thanks to high-end materials, digital planning, bone and gum regeneration, immediate loading technique and first class professionals.
What are dental implants?
Our dental implants are titanium and zirconium elements that integrate with bone tissue, replacing the root of a lost tooth. In the mandible they take two months to osseointegrate while in the maxilla they take three months. Once osseointegrated, depending on the implants placed, we will screw a crown, a bridge or a dental arch, which will function as natural teeth.

We present a case of rehabilitation with 2 zirconia arches on 12 implants.
High gamma implants and prostheses
At Clínica Dental Puyuelo we only work with Straumann, a brand that offers the quality and guarantees we want for our patients. Its implants are backed by clinical studies and it is currently the world’s leading brand in scientific innovation.
The prostheses that we screw to the implants are made of zirconium or metal-ceramic, the most esthetic and resistant materials. If the patient’s mechanical conditions allow it, we will prioritize zirconia for its very high esthetics. For full-arch restorations, resin materials may also be used.
We work with a prestigious laboratory for the design and fabrication of these prostheses, ensuring maximum function and aesthetics.

Digital planning and guided surgeries
We have software that allows us to superimpose the 3D X-ray of the bone and the 3D scan of the teeth and gums, allowing us to plan the optimal position of the implants in relation to the bone that will hold them and the mechanics of the prosthesis.
We will then design and print a guide splint with the holes corresponding to the digital position of the implants, which we will place in the edentulous area of the patient before the intervention, a process known as guided surgery.
Immediate loading technique
Immediate loading consists of screwing a provisional prosthesis to the implant after surgery. Thanks to preoperative 3D buccal scanning, our laboratory will be able to design and fabricate it before the intervention in order to place it right after the surgery.
This option improves the final volume of the gum and its esthetics in relation to the definitive prosthesis, since it will start to be shaped just after the intervention through contact with the provisional. When the implant is osseointegrated and we take the records to make the definitive prosthesis, the shape and volume of the gum will already be definitive, thus being able to adjust the prosthetic design to the characteristics of the same.

Gingival grafts in implant sites
Connective grafts: These are gum grafts indicated in visible areas where maximum esthetic care is required. Tooth extraction, gum disease or occlusion problems can lead to gum recession. To recover the lost gum volume, we obtain gum from the palate, an area that regenerates, and graft it to the affected area.
In cases that do not require a very complex bone regeneration, it is indicated to perform the graft on the same day of the implant surgery. If yes, it will be carried out in a second phase. Immediately after the intervention we will place the provisional prosthesis so that it begins to adapt to the shape of the tooth.
Free gingival grafts: They are indicated when there is little gingiva in non-esthetic areas. They are performed to avoid the risk of perimplantitis: inflammation caused by bone loss around the implant.
Bone regenerations in implant sites
If we diagnose lack of bone through the 3D X-ray, we will perform a bone graft to restore bone volume and thus be able to place the implant. In the indicated cases, we will cover the graft with a membrane to stabilize the regeneration. The bone we graft is of bovine origin and, in some cases, we mix it with the patient’s own bone that we extract from a surplus area, which facilitates the integration process.
In case of dental absence or if the tooth to be extracted is not infected and has sufficient bone support, we can perform the extraction, bone grafting and implant placement in the same intervention, thus reducing the number of interventions and the time until the definitive prosthesis is placed.
In cases where the tooth to be extracted presents infection or does not have sufficient bone support, it will be necessary to wait between 2 and 3 months from the extraction until the regeneration and placement of the implant. In the indicated cases, in order to minimize the consequences of post-extraction bone height and width loss (alveolar ridge resorption), we will perform bone regeneration on the same day of extraction, an intervention known as alveolar ridge preservation.
When we perform the regeneration and implant placement in the same intervention, the time until the definitive prosthesis is placed is extended from 2/3 months to 4/5 months. When the implant placement is to be performed in the upper sinus area and bone regeneration is required, the bone and membrane will have to be introduced into these cavities, an intervention known as sinus lift. In these cases the time until the definitive prosthesis can be placed will be extended up to 6 months. It will be important not to take any airplane until 15 days after surgery to avoid problems with air pressure.
First level professionals
Marta Satorres is the doctor who places the implants and performs the bone and gum regenerations in our clinic. Her talent and training have made her one of the leading surgeons in our country. She is currently scientific advisor for Straumann in Europe and professor of the Master of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the International University of Catalonia, where she also serves as Vice-Dean of Research. Marta brings to the clinic all the advances in materials and surgical techniques to operate more accurately, safely and with shorter postoperative times.
Both immediate and definitive prostheses are performed by Dr. Javier Roldan, Dr. Luis Carlos Garza or Dr. Luis Carlos Garza. Beatriz Jareño, the three professors of the Master’s Degree in Oral Rehabilitation and Dental Aesthetics at the International University of Catalonia. The three specialists take care of every detail in all procedures to ensure optimal esthetics and prosthetic function.
The maintenance of the implants is led by Dr. Neus Carrió, specialist in gum maintenance and prevention. Neus and her team of hygienists will develop a specific prevention plan to avoid the presence of bacterial plaque between the implants and the bone that holds them, thus avoiding the so-called peri-implantitis. Neus brings to the clinic all the advances in her specialty thanks to her involvement in the International University of Catalonia, where she teaches and coordinates the Master’s Degree in Periodontics (gum specialty).

Advantages of our dental implants
We solve your doubts about dental implants
What sets our dental implants apart?
The material and clinical studies are the two determining factors in assessing the quality of dental implants. The patented titanium-zirconium alloy of our implants makes them the most stable and biocompatible implants available today. The world’s most prestigious study proves it.
Which dental implant surgeon is available to you?
The Dr. Satorres is a member of the scientific committee of the best implant brand in the world and is currently the Vice-Dean of Research at the International University of Catalonia, where she also serves as Director of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Her techniques are the most advanced in implantology today, making her one of the most reliable surgeons in our country.
What technology do we use in the placement of dental implants?
Our 3D digital technology allows us to offer a better diagnosis and plan where the implant will be placed before surgery, obtaining a more precise, less invasive, more durable result with less postoperative discomfort.
Can we place dental implants in one day?
The answer is Yes, as long as the patient’s bone tissue allows us to do so. Our specialist in dental prosthesis uses the technique of ‘immediate loading’ to screw the prosthesis on the implant the same day of surgery, obtaining a comfortable and aesthetic result for the patient.
