¿Duele colocarse un implante?

El procedimiento se realiza bajo anestesia local, por lo que no sentirás dolor durante la intervención. Es normal tener algo de molestia e inflamación los primeros días, que se maneja fácilmente con analgésicos. La mayoría de los pacientes retoman su rutina al día siguiente.

¿Cuánto tiempo tarda todo el proceso?

Entre la colocación del implante y la corona definitiva, el proceso completo toma entre 3 y 6 meses, dependiendo de la velocidad de osteointegración de cada paciente. Es un proceso gradual diseñado para garantizar que el implante quede sólidamente anclado antes de cargarlo con la corona.

¿Puedo ponerme un implante si me falta hueso?

En muchos casos sí, mediante técnicas de regeneración ósea o injerto previo al implante. También existen diseños de implante específicos para situaciones de hueso reducido. Lo determinamos con precisión en la valoración con diagnóstico por imagen.

¿Cuánto dura un implante dental?

Con una higiene adecuada y controles periódicos, un implante puede durar décadas — en muchos casos, de por vida. La corona puede necesitar revisión o reemplazo a largo plazo según el desgaste.

¿El implante se ve natural?

Sí. La corona de porcelana que va sobre el implante se fabrica a medida, igualando el color, la forma y la translucidez de tus dientes naturales. El resultado es prácticamente indistinguible.

¿Qué pasa si no reemplazo el diente perdido?

Al perder un diente, el hueso de esa zona comienza a reabsorberse gradualmente por falta de estímulo. Esto puede afectar la estabilidad de los dientes vecinos, la mordida y con el tiempo la estructura facial. El implante previene ese proceso desde el momento en que se coloca.

¿Atienden pacientes de otras ciudades o del exterior?

Sí. Planificamos el tratamiento para optimizar el número de visitas. La fase quirúrgica y la colocación de la corona pueden coordinarse de forma eficiente para pacientes que viajan a Barranquilla.

Implants Dental

The ultimate solution for your missing tooth. Permanent, natural, and designed for your mouth.

A solution for each situation

From a single tooth to a full mouth.

One tooth, one root

Replace one part without touching the others

When you've lost a single tooth, a single-tooth implant is the ideal solution. A titanium screw is placed in the empty space, allowed to integrate with the bone, and then a highly aesthetic porcelain or zirconia crown is attached. The adjacent teeth are not affected or worn down—the implant works completely independently.

Ideal for: Those who seek to replace a single tooth permanently without wearing down their healthy teeth.

Multiple teeth, one solution

Restore several teeth with the correct base

When multiple teeth are missing in different areas, multiple implants allow for the replacement of each tooth independently or the strategic use of fewer implants to support more crowns with a fixed implant-supported bridge. Digital planning beforehand is key to optimizing the outcome.

Ideal for: To replace several teeth in a fixed and stable manner, optimizing the use of implants.

Full mouth, permanent base

When you need to start from scratch

For patients with total or near-total tooth loss, full implant-supported rehabilitation is the fixed and permanent alternative to removable dentures. With a specific number of strategically placed implants, a fixed, non-moving, non-removable prosthesis is anchored, restoring chewing function to the patient.

Ideal for: Restore your complete set of teeth with a fixed and permanent solution.

How it works

This is your path to the smile you deserve

Simple. Personalized. No surprises.

Assessment and diagnosis

We evaluate your case using diagnostic imaging (X-ray or CT scan) to determine the quantity and quality of available bone. With this information, we design the exact plan: number of implants, type of crown, timeline, and cost.

Implant placement

The titanium implant is placed under local anesthesia in an outpatient procedure. The procedure is precise and minimally invasive. Most patients resume their normal activities the next day.

Osseointegration period

The implant needs to integrate with the bone—a natural process that takes between 3 and 6 months, depending on the case. During this time, you can lead a normal life.

Crown placement

Once the integration is confirmed, we place the final porcelain crown. It's the final step: the one you see, the one you feel, and the one that lasts.

Follow-up

We perform regular checkups to monitor the health of the implant and surrounding tissue. With good hygiene and regular maintenance, the implant is designed to last for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants

Get all your questions answered here

Does it hurt to get an implant?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel any pain during the procedure. It's normal to experience some discomfort and swelling for the first few days, which is easily managed with pain medication. Most patients can resume their normal routine the following day.

How long does the whole process take?

The entire process, from implant placement to the final crown, takes between three and six months, depending on the rate of osseointegration in each patient. It is a gradual process designed to ensure the implant is firmly anchored before the crown is placed.

Can I get an implant if I have bone loss?

In many cases, yes, through bone regeneration techniques or bone grafting prior to implantation. There are also specific implant designs for situations of reduced bone size. We determine this precisely through diagnostic imaging.

How long does a dental implant last?

With proper hygiene and regular checkups, an implant can last for decades—in many cases, a lifetime. The crown may need revision or replacement in the long term depending on wear and tear.

Does the implant look natural?

Yes. The porcelain crown that goes over the implant is custom-made, matching the color, shape, and translucency of your natural teeth. The result is virtually indistinguishable.

What happens if I don't replace the missing tooth?

When a tooth is lost, the bone in that area begins to gradually resorb due to lack of stimulation. This can affect the stability of neighboring teeth, the bite, and eventually the facial structure. An implant prevents this process from the moment it is placed.

Do you treat patients from other cities or from abroad?

Yes. We plan the treatment to optimize the number of visits. The surgical phase and crown placement can be efficiently coordinated for patients traveling to Barranquilla.
