Dental Implants: The fixed and natural solution to restore your smile

At MINT Clinic, we use dental implants to replace lost teeth with maximum safety, precision, and naturalness. An implant is an artificial root made of titanium or ceramic placed in the jawbone or maxilla, serving as a solid base for highly aesthetic fixed teeth. This solution not only restores the natural appearance of your smile but also the chewing function and daily comfort.

Dental Implants: the process explained step by step

The placement of dental implants is a safe, predictable procedure and much less complex than most patients imagine. The implants — made of titanium or ceramic — replace the root of the lost tooth and serve as a solid base for highly aesthetic fixed teeth.
At MINT Clinic, we follow a modern, comfortable protocol oriented towards maximum precision. The treatment is essentially divided into three complementary phases.

Types of Dental Implants

In this section, you will learn about the main implantology techniques and the different types of fixed rehabilitation available at MINT Clinic. Each solution is chosen in a personalized manner, considering the number of teeth to be replaced, bone anatomy, desired aesthetics, and long-term comfort.
To illustrate these approaches, we also present real clinical cases of Before and After, demonstrating the predictability and aesthetic impact of the treatments performed.

Implante Dentário Unitário

The single implant is one of the most common solutions to replace a single lost tooth without resorting to bridges or removable dentures.
It is an artificial root made of titanium or ceramic on which a ceramic crown is placed, almost perfectly replicating a natural tooth — in function, aesthetics, and integration into the smile.
This solution allows restoring the missing tooth without wearing down neighboring teeth and with superior stability to traditional methods.

Implantes Dentários All-on-4 / All-on-6

This protocol is indicated for patients who are completely edentulous or have severe loss of bone support.
The technique involves placing 4 or 6 strategically distributed implants, creating a stable base to screw a complete fixed prosthesis — hybrid or ceramic — with about 12 teeth.
This solution offers:

  • Superior stability even in cases of bone atrophy
  • High resistance and comfort
  • Complete functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of the arch
  • Immediate transformation in chewing and smile
Implantes Dentários de Carga Imediata

The continuous evolution of implantology — from surgical techniques to materials — has significantly reduced the time required between implant placement and the placement of fixed teeth.

The immediate load technique allows placing temporary prostheses or provisional crowns on the implants:

  • on the same day,
  • or between 24 hours and 1 week,
  • possibly extending to 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the case.

For this approach to be possible, the following are required:

  • adequate bone volume and quality
  • primary torque of the implant
  • strict postoperative care

It is a solution that provides immediate aesthetics and function, offering comfort and continuity of daily life.

Sobredentadura sobre Implantes

The overdenture is a removable prosthesis stabilized through 2 to 4 dental implants.
It offers much superior retention compared to traditional full dentures, as its connection to the implants prevents unwanted movements when speaking or chewing.

This solution is indicated for:

  • Patients with total edentulism
  • Cases where the traditional removable prosthesis has poor stability
  • Situations where the patient seeks a more economical solution than the total fixed prosthesis

Despite being removable, it offers significantly superior comfort and security.

Prótese Dentária Fixa sobre Implantes “Híbrida”

Hybrid prostheses are fixed structures supported by 4 to 6 implants and constitute an effective solution to replace a complete arch.
They are manufactured with an internal titanium structure, ensuring resistance, and an external acrylic layer, allowing for natural aesthetics.

They are mainly indicated when:

  • there has been tooth loss
  • there has been loss of surrounding tissues (bone and gum)
  • facial support replacement is needed
  • the patient requires total stability

After the provisional phase, the definitive prosthesis is usually placed between 4 to 6 months after implant integration.

Besides acrylic hybrids, there is the option of total fixed prosthesis in ceramic, more resistant and with superior aesthetic finish.

Dental Implantology Clinic in Lisbon

MINT Clinic is a space dedicated to excellence in Oral Rehabilitation and Dental Aesthetics. With an experienced and demanding team — coordinated by Dr. Eduardo Bastos — we offer complete solutions focused on precision, comfort, and natural results.

We deeply believe in the impact a healthy smile has on a person’s life. A compromised smile tends to be hidden; it can affect communication, self-esteem, chewing, digestion, and even how we relate socially and professionally.

At MINT, we design smiles that change lives. We work with clinical rigor, human sensitivity, and cutting-edge technology, in a welcoming environment where each patient truly feels at home.

Dental Implants: Price and what really influences the final value

The price of dental implant treatment can vary significantly according to various clinical and technical factors. The final value does not depend solely on the cost of each implant or the definitive crown, but also on the materials used, the technique applied, and the specific needs of each patient.

At MINT Clinic, we prioritize total transparency and always explain, during the evaluation with 3D diagnosis, all the elements that make up the treatment plan.

Type of implant used

There are different systems, formats, and implant technologies — each with specific clinical indications. Titanium or ceramic implants have distinct costs due to the materials and manufacturing processes involved.

Material of the dental crown

The final tooth can be made of ceramic, zirconia, or hybrid materials. Each solution has a different level of resistance, aesthetics, and cost.

Surgical technique applied

Some techniques, such as immediate load, guided surgery, or total rehabilitations (All-on-4/6), involve greater planning, advanced technology, and additional materials.

Initial oral condition of the patient

Before implant placement, there may be clinical needs such as:
deep cleaning,
treatment of cavities,
periodontitis,
active infections,
extractions,
bone regeneration.
These procedures influence both the time and total cost.

Need for advanced oral surgery

In some cases, correcting a single lost tooth is not as simple as placing an implant in the location.
Bone regeneration,
sinus lift,
bone graft,
correction of gum defects may be necessary.
These steps increase the total value but ensure stability, aesthetics, and longevity of the treatment.

The price of dental implants depends less on the “value per piece” and more on a set of clinical factors that ensure a safe, functional, and aesthetically excellent result.

At MINT, we evaluate each case individually and present a detailed, transparent plan adapted to the needs and expectations of each patient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions about Dental Implants

Dental implant placement is now a very safe procedure with high success rates. However, as with any surgery, there may be associated risks, such as contamination or infections during or after the procedure.
With modern dental medicine, minimally invasive techniques, and biocompatible materials, these risks are increasingly rare — especially when the treatment is performed by a dentist with advanced experience in implantology.
The specialist also has the responsibility to explain all pre and postoperative care, essential to minimize any complications. If the patient observes any unexpected signs, they should contact the dentist immediately.

No. Dental implant placement is painless.
During the procedure, the patient is under local anesthesia, and at MINT, we use exclusive protocols for pain and swelling control developed by Dr. Eduardo Bastos over more than 15 years of experience.
For patients with greater anxiety or fear, we use Conscious Sedation — a safe and non-invasive technique that induces a deep relaxation state, reducing fears and making the entire surgical experience more comfortable.

Yes. Lack of bone is not, by itself, an impediment to placing implants.
Currently, there are several advanced oral rehabilitation solutions, such as:

  • Bone graft
  • Sinus lift
  • All-on-4 / All-on-6 implants
  • Customized techniques for severe atrophy cases

These approaches allow rehabilitating even patients who, in the past, were not indicated for implants.

Although rare, failure can occur if all essential steps are not followed — from rigorous diagnosis to postoperative care.
The success rate depends on:

  • patient’s oral health
  • bone quality
  • daily hygiene
  • habits like smoking
  • compliance with follow-up appointments
  • dentist’s experience

At MINT Clinic, cases of failure are extremely rare, thanks to 3D planning, advanced surgical techniques, and continuous follow-up.

The dental implant is a small biocompatible screw, usually made of titanium, although there is also the option in ceramic.
Implant structure:

  • External thread: allows the implant to be anchored in the bone.
  • Hollow internal part: intended to receive the abutment and, subsequently, the definitive crown.

The final crown is usually made of ceramic due to its resistance and aesthetics, although there are alternative materials (such as gold) for specific cases.

Yes. Modern implantology allows the immediate replacement of one or more teeth on the same day of extraction, through immediate load protocols.
As long as the clinical case allows — with good bone quality and primary stability — the patient can leave the clinic with fixed provisional teeth after surgery.

Yes. Smokers or diabetic patients can receive dental implants.
However, these cases present higher surgical risk and lower healing predictability, requiring:

  • more detailed evaluation
  • strict diabetes control
  • reduction or cessation of smoking
  • more frequent review appointments
  • enhanced oral hygiene care

With adequate follow-up and regular monitoring, the treatment can be performed safely.
