Why is it important to replace missing teeth?
In some cases, a tooth cannot be saved and will need to be extracted. At Laura Fernández Dental Clinic, we can recommend several options to replace missing teeth.
- Aesthetic changes to your face.
- bone loss
- Loss of functionality of your mouth.
- Further damage to other healthy teeth.
- Movement of adjacent teeth.

Before making a decision, it is best to know what options you have.
What options do I have to replace the dental pieces that I have lost?
Removable Prosthesis

Fixed Prosthetics

Dental implants

What types of removable dentures are there?
complete

It is the most economical solution to be able to restore the mouth of totally edentulous patients to whom, for medical or economic reasons, we cannot place dental implants.
Its adjustment in the mouth is solely and exclusively in the gum and this entails a difficult adjustment and worse adaptation for the patient, unlike other techniques.
Partial

They are prostheses that restore only a part of the teeth that have been lost, keeping the patient some of his natural teeth.
As in the case of the complete prosthesis, it has a worse adaptation for the patient than other techniques.
What types of fixed prostheses are there?
Loss of 1 or 2 pieces

Loss of 3 or more pieces

CPloss of all pieces

Lost all the pieces

- Diagnosis. A 3D CT is performed to determine the quality and quantity of bone where the implant will be placed.
- Surgery. Implant placement and wait 3 to 4 months for it to integrate into the bone.
- Measurement and prosthesis test. A measurement is made with a 3D scanner and a color measurement.
- placement of the prosthesis.
conscious sedation
In conscious sedation we use intravenous sedative drugs to control anxiety. We use it above all in long and complex treatments such as surgeries.
In conscious sedation we use drugs that are assimilated very quickly by the body. This allows the dose to be controlled at all times and the patient to recover his normal state very quickly when the doctor has finished the treatment.
To practice this type of conscious sedation, we do it with the help of a team of anesthetists, who will be in charge of regulating the dose based on your needs, as well as monitoring the patient's heart rate at all times.
