Dental implants at Elite Dental, Santiago

In short

A dental implant is a titanium artificial root placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. A crown is then attached to it, restoring chewing, speech and appearance in a stable, long-lasting way.

We use titanium because it forms a stable biological bond with the bone, a process called osseointegration. Once integrated, the implant is restored with crowns or bridges designed for your bite.

At Elite Dental, treatment is planned by a coordinated team: oral surgery and implantology for placement, periodontics for gum and bone health, and oral rehabilitation for the final crown. Each stage is handled by the right specialist.

When is it recommended?

  • One or more missing teeth
  • Removable dentures that move or feel uncomfortable
  • Old bridges that need replacing
  • Full-mouth rehabilitation on implants

Your questions answered

Frequently asked questions about dental implants

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

Placement is done under local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is not painful. Mild discomfort and swelling for a few days afterwards is normal and is managed with the instructions and pain relief your specialist provides.

How long does implant treatment take?

It depends on each case. The bone usually needs a few months to integrate the implant before the final crown is placed. At your assessment we give you a plan with the estimated timeline for your situation.

Can anyone get dental implants?

Most adults are candidates, but bone quantity and quality, gum health and some medical conditions must be assessed. If bone is lacking, regeneration techniques are discussed during the assessment.

How long does a dental implant last?

With good hygiene and regular check-ups, an osseointegrated implant can last many years. Periodontal maintenance helps keep the surrounding tissues healthy.
