With the advancement of technology, the field of implant dentistry and aesthetic dentistry has reached new heights, providing faster, safer, and more personalized treatments. Among the recent innovations, intraoral scanners stand out, replacing traditional molds with high-definition digital images, and artificial intelligence-assisted planning software that can simulate the final result even before the procedure begins.
“These tools not only increase the accuracy of molds, but also bring more comfort and safety to the patient,” explains the dentist, Master in Implant Dentistry and Clinical Director of IOS – Instituto Odontológico, Dr. Marlei Bonella.
The technologies promote a true democratization of access to high-quality dental treatments, catering to both patients seeking oral rehabilitation and those interested in enhancing the aesthetics of their smile.
Among the most sought-after advancements is the immediate load implant, which allows for the replacement of teeth in as little as three hours. This procedure combines tooth removal, implant installation, and the placement of a temporary tooth in a single moment. “With this approach, the patient recovers chewing ability, aesthetics, and their smile instantly, avoiding the use of removable dentures or long waiting periods,” states Dr. Marlei.
In addition to speed, the immediate load implant offers other benefits, such as bone preservation, preventing jawbone resorption and contributing to long-term stability. “The procedure reduces recovery time and eliminates the need for multiple surgeries, ensuring greater comfort for the patient,” highlights the dentist.
According to the dentist, other cases involving patients with severe bone loss can also benefit from innovative solutions, such as zygomatic implants. This technique uses the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) to secure the implants, eliminating the need for bone grafts. “Zygomatic implants have shown superior aesthetic and functional results, with a high durability rate and significant improvements in chewing and diction,” she explains.
With these innovations, 2025 promises to consolidate advancements that go beyond the traditional limits of dentistry. “We are living in an era where technology is transforming the patient experience, ensuring healthier and more confident smiles, as well as promoting oral health and quality of life,” concludes Marlei.
