Dental implants

Because I’ve always had problems with my teeth, I have been wearing a denture for a very long time. Often the denture became loose or it made rattling noising, even though I had it adjusted again and again. That was so embarrassing. Laughing, eating, talking: it all became a nightmare and I hardly went out anymore.

My dentist explained to me that my jawbone was atrophying bit by bit. I went to see four different specialists on dental implants, but all said that implants wouldn’t be possible without bonegrafting.
I really was afraid to have that done, because of the pain and the possible complications. Also they told me the whole process of bonegrafting, placing the implants and making the bridge would last up to one year.

But then I heard from a friend about Agave Clinic in Marbella. They told me they could provide implants for every patient without bonegrafting in only one surgical procedure, regardless of how little jawbone is left. The bridges would be placed 24 hours later!
In the lower jaw they just place normal dental implants, in the upper jaw frequently so-called zygomatic implants are used. These unique 4–5 cm long implants are anchored in the upper jawbone and in the very dense cheekbones.

X-rays and plaster casts of my jaw were made and a short time later it was time for the operation. Four zygomatic implants were placed in my upper jaw and six normal ones in my lower jaw. They were inserted in general anesthesia. At the end of the day I could leave hospital.
The day after the surgery the bridges were screwed on the implants. At first I couldn’t believe that was really all. And I had virtually no pain. They even let me bite an apple immediately after having placed the bridges. For many years I hadn’t been able to do that.
