A complete guide by MIDSA"},"content":{"rendered":"<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover when it is necessary to place a <strong>dental implant<\/strong>, In what cases can it be avoided, and what? <strong>real alternatives<\/strong> They exist before a tooth is extracted. In <strong>MIDSA Dentistry (Valencia)<\/strong> We always prioritize preserving the natural tooth when the prognosis allows it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a dental implant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dental implant is an artificial titanium root that integrates into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. A crown is then placed on top of it. <strong>aesthetic and functional dental crown<\/strong>, designed to mimic a natural tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At MIDSA we use <strong>digital planning with 3D CT<\/strong>, which allows us to perform treatments of <strong>Advanced implantology in Valencia<\/strong> with maximum precision and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/midsa.es\/en\/implantologia-valencia\/dental-implants\/\">  Dental implantology in Valencia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is a dental implant necessary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An implant is the best option when <strong>the tooth cannot be saved<\/strong> or it has already been lost. The most frequent cases are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vertical root fracture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#039;s an irreversible injury. The tooth must be extracted and replaced with an implant to prevent infection and bone loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deep, unrestorable caries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When tooth decay extends below the level of the bone and does not allow for reconstruction or the placement of a crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recurrent infections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Endodontic treatments that repeatedly fail or chronic infections that compromise the bone and gum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advanced tooth mobility due to periodontitis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the bone support is severely affected and the tooth cannot be stabilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth missing for a long time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not replacing a tooth causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>progressive bone loss<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>displacement of neighboring teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>extrusion of the opposing tooth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>overload of other parts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>potential ATM problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is a dental implant NOT necessary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At MIDSA we always value options <strong>conservatives<\/strong> before recommending an implant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Endodontics and crown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the root is healthy and the tooth can be rehabilitated predictably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partial fractures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the tooth allows for reconstruction without compromising its prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traction of retained teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common in impacted incisors or canines, especially in young patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/midsa.es\/en\/invisible-orthodontics\/\"> Orthodontics in Valencia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental bridge (selected cases)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only when healthy teeth are not damaged and the prognosis is favorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if a lost tooth is not replaced?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The absence of a tooth can cause:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>bone loss<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>chewing problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>aesthetic alterations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>premature facial aging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>joint discomfort<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#039;s why it&#039;s important to carry out a <strong>early diagnosis<\/strong> and choose the appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The process of implant treatment at MIDSA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3

scan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Immediate or delayed implant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the case, the implant can be placed on the same day as the extraction or after bone regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implant integration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Healing

implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before recommending an implant, we assess:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>endodontics + crown<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dental reconstructions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>orthodontics to regain space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fixed bridge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>removable prosthesis (in specific cases)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are dental implants safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, provided that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>proper planning is carried out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>high-quality materials are used<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the surgeon has experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>there
