About Dental Implants in Benidorm

Whether it’s one or two missing teeth due to injury , or an entire arch of teeth that need replacing due to old age or decay, implant-based restorations are considered the optimal teeth replacement solution, with a host of advantages over traditional dentures.

These tiny titanium or zirconia posts act as artificial tooth roots onto which a crown or fixed bridge is attached with an abutment and coping cylinder.

The post(s) will first need to be embedded into the jawbone or zygomatic bone (in the case of diminished jawbone density ) at predetermined positions.

Following surgery, carried out under local anaesthetic often with conscious sedation, a temporary crown or denture is placed, depending on our circumstances.

This allows the implant(s) to fuse with the bone over the next four or so months (a process called osseointegration), with the gums healing at the same time.

Thus, once the implants are secure and gums have healed, patients will need to make a follow-up trip to Benidorm for the final restoration to be made and fitted, upon confirmation from the dentist.

Note: Patients with some teeth remaining will have them extracted on the first visit during the same single session of surgery.

Benidorm Travel Information

Benidorm was once not only just one of Spain’s but the world’s most popular international resorts, with tens of millions of Brits, Scandinavians, Germans and other Europeans flying here every summer for low-cost package holidays.

Today, the region still welcomes millions each year, although with Spain and neighbouring countries now offering more diverse destinations that can be reached on the cheap, numbers are inevitably down.

However, that’s not to say that Benidorm is lacking in terms of beach activities and family-friendly excursions, with miles of golden sand, warm Mediterranean waters and a decent selection of water and theme parks to keep the kids happy.

Benidorm is synonymous with towering resort complexes, British and Irish-style restaurants, lively bars, nightclubs and year-round warm temperatures that see thousands flock to either Playa del Poniente or Playa de Levante (either side of the old town area) for some sun-worshipping in the daytime.

But do be careful: temperatures at noon during June, July and August can reach 38C (100F), so make sure you pack plenty of SPF 50!
