Dental Implants: restore your smile with cutting-edge technology at our Las Palmas clinic
Dental implants have become the definitive solution for those who have lost one or more teeth. These small titanium devices act as artificial roots, integrating into the jawbone or maxilla to provide a solid, long-lasting base for fixed prosthetics such as crowns or bridges.
Modern implant designs are increasingly sophisticated, optimised for better bone integration and a more even distribution of chewing forces. The implant surfaces are made of biocompatible materials that encourage osseointegration.
Investing in dental implants means investing in your health and quality of life, offering numerous benefits that positively impact overall wellbeing:
- Restored chewing function: They allow you to bite and chew normally, improving digestion and boosting self-confidence.
- Natural aesthetics: Implant-supported prosthetics blend seamlessly into your smile, offering a natural, attractive appearance.
- Improved self-esteem: Reclaiming your smile enhances your confidence and overall quality of life.
- Prevention of bone loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone resorption that occurs after losing natural teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
There are many implant brands on the market, with widely varying costs. At Adalia Dental Clinic in Las Palmas, we offer top-quality implants, with a lifetime guarantee, from Nobel Biocare, backed by long-term scientific research.
Two implant techniques are currently transforming the field: immediate load implants and the All-on-4 system. These techniques provide faster and more efficient solutions to restore your smile, without compromising on quality or durability.
“But I’ve been told I don’t have bone …”
Advances in bone regeneration
Many people have seen their hopes of restoring their smile dashed due to insufficient bone volume for dental implants. It’s a common situation: a patient arrives with high expectations, only to receive a discouraging reply –“I’m sorry, in your case it’s not possible” – because of an inadequate bone base. For a long time, this limitation was a difficult obstacle to overcome.
Fortunately, advancements in bone regeneration have changed this situation. Today, there are various techniques for restoring the necessary bone volume, enabling many patients to undergo implant treatment. While every case requires a personalised assessment, bone regeneration offers effective solutions for those who previously had no alternative.
At Adalia Dental Clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach that enables us to tackle everything from minor bone regeneration to more complex cases that require increasing both the height and width of the bone to ensure successful treatment. Each case is evaluated with a detailed, personalised diagnosis.
PRGF: Plasma Rich in Growth Factors
Innovative bone regeneration techniques
Among the most innovative techniques we use are titanium meshes, which promote bone growth in large defects, and PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors), a natural procedure that stimulates bone regeneration and accelerates healing. This plasma is derived from a small sample of the patient’s own blood, processed to form a fibrin matrix rich in platelets and growth factors essential for tissue repair.
PRGF not only improves healing and reduces inflammation, but is completely biocompatible and safe, since it is obtained from the patient. It is also a painless procedure, which we perform in our clinic on the same day as the surgery, optimising both recovery and treatment success.
How does PRGF work?
- Simple, quick extraction: A few minutes before the operation, a small blood sample is taken from the patient.
- Personalised processing: The growth factors are separated and concentrated using a safe, effective method.
- Immediate application: The enriched plasma is applied directly to the area to be treated during surgery, naturally stimulating new bone and tissue formation.
Benefits of bone regeneration with PRGF
- Outstanding results: We can regenerate bone with the volume and quality required for any oral rehabilitation.
- Confidence and peace of mind: A safe, natural procedure tailored to each case.
- Complete rehabilitation: The treatment restores both functionality and dental aesthetics, even in cases once considered impossible.
At Adalia Dental Clinic, the wide range of techniques and resources we offer our patients reflects our experience and commitment to medical technology.

Immediate Load Implants: a perfect smile in just hours
If you’re reading this, it’s probably because you’re tired of hiding your mouth behind your hand when you smile. Imagine showing off a radiant smile in a matter of hours! With immediate load implants, it’s possible. This revolutionary dental technique enables you to enjoy your smile again almost instantly, without lengthy waiting periods.
Unlike conventional implants, which require a healing period of several weeks before the final prosthesis is fitted, immediate load implants make it possible for a provisional prosthesis to be put in place on the same day as the operation.
The process is simple and minimally invasive. First, the specialist inserts the implants into the jawbone or maxilla, just as they would with conventional implants. The difference is that these implants are designed to support the immediate fitting of a provisional prosthesis.
Advantages of immediate load implants
- Instant smile: Enjoy your new smile in a matter of hours.
- Greater comfort: Avoid the discomfort and inconvenience of wearing a removable prosthesis for months.
- Increased self-confidence: Feel better about yourself and smile without inhibitions.
- Natural aesthetics: Provisional prostheses are designed to look natural and harmonious.
- Faster treatment: Shortens the overall duration of the treatment, enabling you to enjoy the benefits of implants sooner.
Our day-to-day experience with dental implants at Adalia Dental Clinic in Las Palmas shows us that this treatment has an immediate positive impact on our patients’ quality of life. It shortens healing times, greatly improves chewing function, speech and self-esteem, and most importantly, we’ve managed to reduce the number of appointments and the overall cost of treatment — resulting in greater patient satisfaction.
Restore your smile today. Contact us at Adalia Dental Clinic in Las Palmas to find out wether you’re a candidate for immediate load implants.
All-on-4 / All-on-6
a radiant smile on just four or six implants
With today’s technology, saying goodbye to removable dentures and hidden smiles is easier than ever. The All-on-4 and All-on-6 systems are designed for patients who have lost or are about to lose all the teeth in one of their arches (upper or lower).
Unlike conventional implants, which typically require one implant per missing tooth, the All-on-4 system uses just four strategically placed implants to support a complete fixed prosthesis. Similarly, the All-on-6 system achieves the same result with six implants.
The procedure is performed in a single session, during which the specialist places the implants into the jawbone or maxilla. They are strategically positioned to ensure optimal distribution of chewing forces, providing long-term stability and durability.
Advantages of the All-on-4 / All-on-6 systems
- A radiant smile in a day: Smile again within hours.
- Fewer implants, more convenience: Reduces the number of operations and associated procedures.
- Faster, more economical treatment: Saves time and therefore money compared to conventional implants.
- Increased self-confidence: Feel better about yourself and smile without inhibitions.
- Optimal chewing function: Enjoy a normal, unrestricted diet.
- Natural aesthetics: Prosthetics are designed to offer a natural, harmonious appearance.
If you’re considering a treatment to restore your smile in a single day, contact Adalia Dental Clinic to find out whether the All-on-4 or All-on-6 system is right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants are a modern, effective solution for tooth loss. Here’s why they’re such a great option:
- Natural look and feel: Implants look and feel just like natural teeth, making them practically indistinguishable in everyday life.
- Bone health: They help preserve the jawbone and prevent bone loss.
- Confidence and self-esteem: No visible hooks or metal structures — just a natural, attractive smile.
- Comfort: No palate coverage needed, improving taste and speech.
- Efficient bite: Restores proper biting, which is essential for good digestion.
- Stability: Implants are fixed and won’t shift, allowing you to eat without restrictions.
- Durability: They offer a long-term solution to replace one or more missing teeth.
When are dental implants recommended?
Implants are a suitable option for most people, young or old, who have lost teeth due to decay, gum disease or injury. They’re ideal for restoring your mouth both aesthetically and functionally.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
It’s less painful than you might think. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, and many patients report that it is more comfortable than other common dental treatments. Nothing to worry about!
What is recovery like after implant surgery?
Recovery depends on the complexity and number of implants, but most people can return to normal activities the next day with minimal discomfort. Quick and straightforward!
What happens if an implant fails to integrate?
Although implant success rates exceed 96%, there are rare cases where they do not integrate properly. If this happens, a new implant can usually be placed in the same location, or in some cases after a healing period of 30–60 days. Bone quality and habits such as smoking can influence the outcome.
Do dental implants look natural?
Absolutely! Implants are designed to match your natural teeth. Replacing missing teeth as soon as possible with implants improves both appearance and function, while also preventing other teeth from shifting out of place and enabling you to enjoy your food, laugh and speak clearly.
How much does a dental implant cost?
An in-person assessment is needed to determine pricing, as it depends on the condition of your mouth and gums and the quantity and quality of available bone. The cost of an implant can also vary according to various factors. It includes two main components: the implant (acting as the root) and the crown placed on top.
Prices vary depending on the number of implants, the brand used and the crown material (e.g., acrylic or zirconia ceramic). While the investment may seem substantial, the longevity and benefits of dental implants make them an excellent long-term choice.
Computer-guided surgery
At Adalia Dental Clinic, we are at the forefront of dental technology with computer-guided surgery — a technique that is revolutionising modern implantology.
What is computer-guided surgery?
Computer-guided surgery is an advanced technique that uses specialised software to plan and carry out dental implant placement with extreme precision. Using this technology, we can create a virtual 2D and 3D reconstruction of the patient’s mouth.
How does computer-guided surgery work?
- Data collection: We use digital scanners to obtain detailed images of the patient’s mouth, which are entered into our state-of-the-art software, such as Nobel Biocare.
- Virtual reconstruction: With the data obtained, we create a virtual model of the patient’s mouth. This 2D and 3D reconstruction enables us to plan the surgery with precision.
- Surgical planning: The simulation lets us calculate exactly where to make incisions and place the implants — including depth of drilling as well as exact position.
- Creating a surgical template: Having planned the operation, we then produce a customised surgical template showing the precise locations and appropriate depths of the sockets.
- Actual surgery: During the surgery, we place this template on the patient’s mouth, enabling us to perform the procedure effectively, rapidly and safely, avoiding important anatomical structures such as nerves and reducing the need to lift gum tissue or insert sutures.
Benefits for the patient
- Minimally invasive: The precision of guided surgery reduces the need for large incisions, significantly lessening trauma.
- Faster recovery: A less invasive procedure means quicker healing and less post-operative discomfort.
- High precision: The accuracy of this technique ensures optimal implant placement, enhancing the longevity and functional success of the treatment.
- Confidence and peace of mind: Careful planning and precise execution increase confidence both for the patient and for the clinician.
The technology behind the process: Nobel Biocare
We use Nobel Biocare software — a market leader in dental implantology. This software allows us to simulate implant placement, generate personalised surgical templates, and have the prosthetics ready before the day of surgery. This not only saves time, but also ensures a perfect fit and successful implant integration.
The future of implantology
Computer-guided surgery is the future of dentistry. This technological advancement not only enhances patient experience but also raises the standards of precision and safety in clinical practice. At our clinic, we are committed to continuous innovation to deliver the best possible treatments and outcomes.
