Recovering a natural and aesthetic smile and dental function is possible through fixed rehabilitation on 4 implants, a treatment offered by Dr. Silvia Mejías at Juaneda Dental

Dr. Silvia Mejías, a specialist in prosthodontics and aesthetic dentistry, explains: "It is a complete rehabilitation of the arch, strategically placing 4 implants, with a postoperative process that is practically painless, resulting in a rehabilitated and fixed denture."

"This technique represents a very interesting treatment plan for those who, for some reason, cannot have more implants and want to avoid removable dentures. We achieve a fixed, comfortable, and aesthetically satisfying result in a very short time, because on the same day of the intervention, a provisional screwed and fixed prosthesis is placed, meaning the patient will not spend a single day without teeth."

Another feature of the fixed rehabilitation on four implants at Juaneda Dental is that it is performed using top-quality materials with high traceability. The type of treatment and the technical and technological quality in its development ensure minimal post-surgical pain, allowing the patient to go home the same day with a fixed, functional denture and an aesthetic smile that aims to meet their expectations.

For a period of 4 to 6 months, "the patient will wear this provisional fixed prosthesis, leading a nearly normal life, following the given instructions." After this period, "they will return to the clinic and begin working on the definitive prosthesis." The fixed rehabilitation on four implants frees the patient from having to put on and take off dentures, "providing a good quality of life, recovering function, comfort, aesthetics, and smile."

In performing this treatment, as well as others offered by the Juaneda Dental services, advanced, comfortable, and non-invasive imaging technology is used, such as the intraoral scanner. This system, through an intraoral camera, reproduces the patient's mouth in 3D images without needing to take analog impressions with pastes. This technology creates a digital image of the oral cavity on which prostheses can be designed more precisely and personally.

Dr. Silvia Mejías emphasizes that the care provided at Juaneda Dental for aesthetic, prosthetic, and rehabilitative treatments starts by paying attention to the needs and goals of the patient: "The first thing we do is listen to them, understand what they want to change, their expectations, and the improvements they wish to achieve, which sometimes are more general, other times more specific."

After understanding these expectations, "we analyze the case, carry out the necessary complementary tests, consult with our colleagues, and use digital technology, starting with an initial scan of the patient's mouth, obtaining precise images of the situation before any treatment, and from this information, we design a treatment plan to achieve a satisfactory result," Dr. Mejías continues.

The advanced digital scanning technology "eliminates the need for the old impressions with paste molds" and allows "using the software to present treatment proposals, make modifications to the design, show them, try them, discuss them with the patient, and establish a personalized treatment plan," all "in direct communication with the prosthetic laboratory, which is essential for designing the new smile the patient wants to achieve."

The scanner is a great tool that "allows us to pre-design the treatment, consult with the surgeon, and plan the case," explains Dr. Mejías. With all these procedures, a provisional prosthesis is prepared, which will be further adapted after the surgery, enabling "the patient to leave on the first day with fixed teeth."

"When we rehabilitate, we not only do it with the teeth but also with the lost tissue; if a lot of bone and/or gum has been lost, it needs to be replaced, although grafts can also be performed. The final result is a very beautiful mouth with satisfactory aesthetic and functional results," the dentist highlights.

The fixed restoration treatment on four implants offered at Juaneda Dental benefits the patient by addressing their needs and goals, using non-invasive and high-precision imaging technologies like the digital intraoral scanner, utilizing top-quality materials with traceability, providing immediate results with practically no post-surgical pain, and delivering both an aesthetic smile and dental functionality from the first day.
