Really, it is not possible to put a dental implant without surgery. A dental implant is inserted into the jawbone and a surgical procedure must be performed in order to do so.
Talking about dental implants without surgery is misleading advertising. What these types of messages refer to is minimally invasive surgical procedures (that is, without cutting the gum). With this type of technique, a dental implant can be inserted in a less traumatic way and with less post-surgical discomfort.
At present, technological advances allow minimally invasive surgeries to be performed, with the help of computerized guides. In this way, the surgery is very accurate, faster and, in most cases, no sutures are required.
As in the case of any surgical procedure, the specialist must make an initial diagnosis. In the case of a treatment with Dental Implants, aspects such as:
It is necessary to know the preexistence or diseases, and the type of drugs to take.
Some diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, or habits such as smoking, are counterproductive to treatment with dental implants and each case should be evaluated or treated.
Excellent oral health is essential and the condition of the bone, gum, and bite should be checked.
If oral diseases such as inflammation of the gums or gingivitis occur, or habits such as bruxism, they should be treated before performing the treatment. If the state of the bone is not adequate (in density and thickness), a bone graft must be performed beforehand.
To complete the diagnosis, it is essential to have radiographic examinations and, based on the 3D dental CT, some models of your teeth and a registration of your bite, the computerized surgical guide for the minimally invasive surgical procedure will be prepared.
After the diagnosis, we proceed to perform computerized surgical guidance. With the guide, a splint is made tailored to each patient that will be used in the surgery, to know in a millimeter and very precise way the place where the dental implant should be inserted, its diameter, its length and its exact orientation.
Among its greatest advantages we can mention that:
