Dental implants in Carabanchel
Without travelling into the centre, and knowing from the start what the whole thing costs.
Implants: what they are and what they really cost
An implant replaces the root of the lost tooth with a titanium screw that integrates into the bone. On top of it go an abutment and a crown. Those three parts are the whole treatment, and it is worth knowing because some quotes count only the first and then grow.
How long it takes
Two to four months usually pass between the surgery and the definitive crown, which is how long the bone takes to integrate the implant. Where the quality of the bone allows it, a fixed temporary bridge goes in on the day, so that time is not spent without teeth.
What can go wrong
An implant can be lost, although it is uncommon. The usual causes are untreated gum disease, smoking and no maintenance afterwards. That is why we do not place implants without checking the gums first, even when it lengthens the calendar.
The quote we hand over covers the workup, the surgery, the abutment and the crown. If bone regeneration is needed, it is on there from the start, not halfway through.

At this clinic
Implants explained without the small print
The first thing nearly every patient in Carabanchel asks is not technical: it is what it costs and what that includes. So the quote is handed over whole and in writing from the start — workup, surgery, abutment and crown — and nothing is added along the way.
The second is how long it takes. With immediate loading, where the bone allows, you leave with a fixed temporary bridge on the day of surgery. Where it does not, the implant has to integrate first, and saying so beforehand avoids disappointment.
The workup is done here, with our own CT and intraoral scanners. If the case calls for bone regeneration or is a full-arch rehabilitation, the group’s surgical team takes it on without you having to find a new clinic or repeat the imaging.

Types of dental implant
How the process works, step by step
-
Study and diagnosis
3D scan, intraoral scan and assessment of gum and bone. You leave the first visit with a diagnosis, not a generic quote.
-
Digital planning and guided surgery
We plan each implant position on the digital model and manufacture a custom surgical guide. Surgery is shorter and more precise.
-
Placement and temporary teeth
We place the implants and, where the case allows, an aesthetic temporary prosthesis the same day. You do not leave without teeth.
-
Final prosthesis and maintenance
Once the implant has integrated, we fit the definitive crown or bridge and set up a check-up plan.
Common questions
What patients usually ask us
01 How long before I can get back to normal after surgery?
In most cases people return to their usual routine within 24 to 48 hours. We recommend avoiding intense physical exercise for the first few days and keeping to a soft diet during the first week.
02 What care do dental implants need?
The same as a natural tooth: daily brushing, interdental cleaning and regular check-ups. An implant cannot decay, but the bone supporting it can be lost if hygiene slips, so professional maintenance is part of the treatment.
03 What is the difference between an implant and a bridge?
An implant replaces the root of the tooth and does not touch the neighbouring teeth. A conventional bridge requires grinding down the adjacent teeth to rest on them. That makes the implant the more conservative option when the neighbouring teeth are healthy.
04 Can I have implants if I currently wear a denture?
Yes, and it is one of the changes that most improves quality of life. Moving from a removable denture to fixed teeth on implants restores chewing strength, removes the need for adhesives and, by not covering the palate, brings back your sense of taste.
05 When will I see the final result?
Aesthetic, functional temporaries are fitted from the outset, so there is no period without teeth. The definitive work is fitted once the implant has integrated with the bone.
06 Am I too old for implants?
Age alone is not a contraindication. What matters is general health, bone quality and gum health. We routinely treat older patients.
07 What if I do not have enough bone?
Bone regeneration, sinus lift and zygomatic implant techniques make it possible to treat cases with severe bone loss. A diagnosis of "not enough bone" often means the case needs a specific technique, not that it has no solution.
08 How much does a dental implant cost?
It depends on the number of implants, the type of prosthesis and whether bone regeneration is needed first. We do not quote fixed prices without seeing the radiographic study: that would be a made-up figure. After the first assessment we provide a written quote detailing the full treatment.
