Dental Implants in Marbella

Most adults who have completed their jawbone growth and wish to replace one or more missing teeth can be candidates for dental implants. Before recommending treatment at our Marbella clinic, we take a thorough medical history, examine your gums, and perform a 3D dental CT scan. Any underlying condition, such as periodontitis or diabetes, must be properly controlled prior to surgery.

Implant surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the placement procedure; for patients with heightened dental anxiety, conscious sedation can also be assessed. During the days following surgery, mild swelling or discomfort in the treated area is normal and typically subsides progressively when following the prescribed medication and post-operative care instructions.

Total treatment duration depends on each patient's anatomical conditions. Once the implant is placed, the bone requires a biological integration period (osseointegration) that typically ranges between two and four months before placing the final crown, or longer if bone regeneration is needed. When clinical diagnosis and primary bone stability allow, an immediate-load provisional prosthesis may be considered.

Having reduced bone volume does not necessarily rule out implant treatment. Using 3D dental CT diagnostics, we accurately measure the remaining bone and plan guided bone regeneration or maxillary sinus lift procedures, as well as soft-tissue gum grafts when needed. During your assessment appointment in Marbella, we will explain the safest surgical option for your specific case.

Maintaining long-term implant stability requires thorough daily oral hygiene (using interdental brushes or an oral irrigator), avoiding tobacco, and attending scheduled check-ups. Because the tissues surrounding an implant can become inflamed if bacterial plaque accumulates, we recommend regular monitoring and professional maintenance with our periodontics and restorative dentistry team.
