Dental implants in Valencia
Replace missing teeth with individual planning and follow-up.
Dental implants are a solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring both the function and the aesthetics of the smile. At our dental clinic in Valencia we study each case individually to determine which type of implant treatment may be suitable.
Personalised planning is essential to achieve a functional, stable dental rehabilitation adapted to each patient's characteristics.
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is an element placed in the upper or lower jawbone to replace the root of a lost tooth. A dental restoration can then be placed on the implant to recover the function and appearance of the missing tooth.
Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth or, in certain situations, to support a dental prosthesis.
When may dental implants be indicated?
Losing one or more teeth can affect chewing and the aesthetics of the smile. Dental implants make it possible to consider different alternatives for replacing the missing teeth.
The indication depends on factors such as the condition of the bone, the gums, general health and the characteristics of each case.
That is why, before starting treatment, an assessment and the corresponding diagnostic tests are necessary.
Types of dental implant treatments
Depending on the number of missing teeth and each patient's characteristics, there are different rehabilitation possibilities.
Single-tooth dental implants
When a single tooth is missing, an implant can be used to support a dental crown, replacing the missing tooth without relying on the adjacent teeth.
Implants for several teeth
When several teeth are missing, different solutions using implants and prostheses can be considered, adapted to the distribution of the missing teeth.
Implant-supported prostheses
In patients with more extensive tooth loss, implants can also be used to support a prosthesis.
The most suitable solution will depend on each patient's characteristics and on the assessment carried out by the professional team.
How is dental implant treatment carried out?
Treatment begins with an assessment of oral health and a study of the characteristics of the area to be rehabilitated.
Based on the diagnosis, the treatment is planned and the most suitable solution is determined.
In general, the process may include:
- Assessment and diagnosis.
- Treatment planning.
- Placement of the implant, when indicated.
- Integration period and follow-up.
- Placement of the restoration or prosthesis.
- Follow-up checks and maintenance.
Timings and phases may vary depending on each case.
Can I have dental implants if I have little bone?
The amount and quality of the available bone are important factors when planning implant treatment.
When there is insufficient bone, in certain patients additional procedures to increase bone volume may be considered before or during implant treatment.
An individual study is necessary to determine which options exist in each case.
Is getting a dental implant painful?
Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthesia. After the procedure there may be discomfort, swelling or sensitivity, the intensity and duration of which may vary depending on the procedure and on each patient.
The professional team will give you the necessary instructions for the period after the procedure.
How much does a dental implant cost in Valencia?
The price of dental implant treatment depends on several factors: the number of teeth to be replaced, the type of restoration, the condition of the bone and gums, any additional procedures needed and the complexity of the case.
For this reason, there is no single price that applies to all patients.
The best way to find out the cost of your treatment is to have an assessment and draw up a personalised plan.
Why choose dental implants?
Tooth loss can affect chewing function and the aesthetics of the smile. When indicated, implants make it possible to consider a fixed solution to replace the missing teeth.
In addition to restoring function, proper planning aims to achieve a restoration that blends naturally with the rest of your teeth.

Frequently asked questions about dental implants
How long does a dental implant last?
The duration depends on several factors, such as oral health, the quality of the planning, hygiene and maintenance. Regular check-ups are important to monitor the condition of the implants and the tissues surrounding them.
Can an implant be placed right after a tooth is extracted?
In certain cases it may be possible to place the implant immediately, but not every patient is a candidate. The decision depends on the characteristics of the area and on the clinical assessment.
Can I have implants if I have periodontal disease?
Gum health is an important factor before implant treatment. If there is active periodontal disease, it may need to be treated and the situation stabilised before the implants are placed.
How long does it take to place a dental implant?
The total treatment time varies depending on the case. It may depend on the need for additional procedures, the implant's integration process and the type of restoration that will be placed.
Do dental implants look like natural teeth?
The restoration placed on the implant is designed to blend in with the rest of your teeth in shape, size and colour. The final result depends on the characteristics of each case and on the treatment planning.
Do I need a check-up after having implants placed?
Yes. Maintenance and regular check-ups are important to monitor both the implant and the tissues surrounding it and to maintain good oral health.
