First of all, the implant, which looks like a screw or cylindrical rod made of titanium, is embedded directly into the bone. A bone bed is created in the bone, into which the implant is installed. For successful integration of implants into bone tissue, they are completely covered by mucous tissues and have no contact with the oral cavity. Implantation of the implant into the jaw bone usually lasts three to six months. After successful implantation of the implant, the soft tissues covering the implant are opened, and a gum shaper is installed on it. The gum is being prepared for the installation of a permanent titanium abutment. After installing the abutment, after one to 2 weeks, they proceed to the next stage – orthopedic.
The doctor of the Corona Dental Clinic in Barcelona makes impressions from the patient's teeth, which are used to create models of dentition. Based on these models, a crown is made, the color of which is selected in accordance with the color of the patient's own teeth.
A single implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of adjacent teeth, because there is no need to grind adjacent healthy teeth, as is done in the manufacture of a traditional bridge prosthesis; after implantation, the teeth adjacent to the implant are not overloaded, whereas after installing the bridge prosthesis, the teeth on which the structure is fixed are overloaded. In addition, tooth loss is more or less accompanied by bone resorption. There is a very big difference between the bone level in the area of the lost tooth and in the area of adjacent teeth. There is no bone resorption after dental implantation in Barcelona.

Implants can serve as supports for a bridge prosthesis. Otherwise, the prosthesis can be made in a traditional way.
With the help of implants, teeth in the oral cavity are completely restored when they are completely lost, and the number of implants may be less than the number of teeth being restored. For example, three implants are enough to restore four teeth
Implants for removable prosthesis supports.
In the complete absence of teeth, a removable prosthesis can be successfully fixed in the mouth with the help of several implants. Two implants can be used on the lower jaw, while four implants are usually required for the upper jaw.
