Dental implants in Chamberí
A well planned implant lasts decades. A badly placed one shows within two years.
What a dental implant is, and when it is worth it
An implant is an artificial root of titanium or zirconia anchored in the bone, carrying a crown made to measure. Unlike a bridge it does not require the neighbouring teeth to be cut down, and unlike a removable denture it does not rest on the gum: it passes the force into the bone, as the original root did.
Is it worth it in my case?
That depends less on age than on the state of the gums and the bone. In Chamberí we see two profiles regularly: someone who has lost a particular tooth and wants it solved without touching those beside it, and someone who has put up with an uncomfortable partial denture for years. In both, an implant is usually the more conservative long-term option.
And if I am short of bone?
That stopped being an obstacle a long time ago. Regeneration, sinus lifting and alternative anchorage now treat situations that were ruled out a decade back. What cannot be done is knowing without a CT scan: any answer given before that imaging is a guess.
If your case does not need an implant, we will say so. There are situations where keeping and reinforcing your own tooth beats replacing it.
-
Chewing function
You can bite and chew normally again, with no restrictions on your diet.
-
Natural appearance
The crown is designed around your shape, shade and proportions, in harmony with your face.
-
Stable and comfortable
Nothing moves or comes loose. Cared for like a natural tooth, with hygiene and check-ups.
At this clinic
How we plan an implant at our Fortuny clinic
The first appointment at Fortuny is diagnostic, not a sales pitch. We take a CT and an intraoral scan, measure the bone available and assess the gums, which decide the long-term prognosis more than the implant itself does.
With that we plan the position of each implant digitally, governed by where the crown has to sit: the tooth is designed first, and only then is it settled where the screw that carries it goes. In front-tooth work, which is a good part of what this practice sees, that order is everything.
Surgery is carried out with a guide made to measure from that plan. It allows small incisions, less swelling and a shorter recovery, which matters particularly to anyone who cannot afford a week off.
- 3D workup and intraoral scan at the first visit.
- The crown designed before the implant position is decided.
- A surgical guide printed from the plan.
- Levels of conscious sedation available.
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.
