Dental implants are the solution to replace missing teeth or teeth that no longer offer conditions to be recovered, maintaining the best masticatory, aesthetic, and phonetic function.
A dental implant consists of a cylindrical prosthetic device that is surgically implanted in the jaw bone, "replacing" the root of the missing tooth.
After the healing period, the bone surrounding the implant “bonds” to the implant surface, allowing it to function as a foundation to install a tooth crown or bridge that replaces one, several, or all teeth.
When correctly placed and restored, dental implants enable aesthetic and functional characteristics similar to natural teeth.

At the António Carracho Institute, the medical team has extensive experience in the surgical placement and the prosthetic rehabilitation of dental implants.
The entire process of planning your implant surgery is carried out using digital technologies that allow us to manufacture - high precision surgical guides - that allow pre-surgical planning of the ideal position of the implants, less invasive surgery and, a postoperative period without discomfort.
The fabrication of individual crowns or fixed prostheses on the top of dental implants is carried out using the best materials and the most advanced CAD-CAM technology. This guarantees a perfect fit between the crowns and the dental implant.
All technical and laboratory work is carried out to personalize your treatment and achieve the most natural and functional result possible.
Implants have a high survival rate, which means they have excellent durability. However, it is still necessary to perform good oral hygiene and periodic hygiene consultations with your dentist, just as you do with your natural teeth. At the António Carracho Institute, your dentist always carries out these consultations and regularly accompany you even after your implant treatment has ended. Personalized medical care is, in our experience, one of the critical factors in the high success rate that we have had in dental implant treatments over more than 35 years.
