Dental Implantology in Mallorca
Dental implant dentistry in Mallorca has reached an advanced level, allowing patients to regain both the functionality and aesthetics of their missing teeth. This modern approach in dentistry focuses on the placement of dental implants that act as artificial roots, integrating into the jawbone or mandible through a process called osseointegration.

What is dental implantology and how does it work?
Implant dentistry is a dental specialty that focuses on replacing missing teeth through the placement of implants. These implants are fixed into the maxillary or mandibular bone and, through osseointegration, integrate solidly and durably, allowing a stable base for dental prostheses.
The osseointegration process is crucial to the success of the treatment, ensuring that the dental implants fuse with the bone, providing a solid and natural structure for the prosthetic teeth. Biocompatible materials, such as titanium, are commonly used due to their ability to integrate with the bone without being rejected.
Types of treatments in dental implantology
In dental implantology, titanium is the most commonly used material due to its strength and biocompatibility, ensuring optimal integration with the bone. On the other hand, zirconium offers an ideal aesthetic alternative, especially for those who seek a more natural appearance or have allergies to metal. The choice of material is based on a personalised assessment by the dentist.
In addition to implant types, at Mallorca we offer other related treatments to ensure a complete rehabilitation:
Dental implants are the ultimate solution for replacing missing teeth, providing a solid and durable foundation for dentures that mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth.
Sinus lift is a technique used to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw, which is necessary to place implants in areas with low bone height.
One-day dental implants allow patients to receive implants and temporary dentures in a single session, accelerating the dental rehabilitation process.
Immediate load implants allow a dental prosthesis to be placed on the same day of surgery, reducing waiting time and providing fast and effective results.
Preguntas frecuentes sobre implantología dental
The dental implant process generally lasts between 3 and 6 months, depending on several factors. Initially, an evaluation is performed to plan the surgery. After implant placement, a period of osseointegration is required, which usually lasts 3 to 4 months to ensure that the implant fuses properly with the bone. In cases where additional procedures such as bone grafting are required, the total time may be extended. Finally, the final prosthesis is placed, completing the process.
Although dental implant dentistry has a high success rate, complications can occur, although they are rare. The most common include infections at the implant site, failure of osseointegration, which occurs when the implant does not fuse properly with the bone, and damage to nearby structures such as nerves or sinuses. In some cases, the implant may loosen or move. Choosing an experienced dentist and following proper postoperative care minimises these risks.
Yes, smokers can receive dental implants, but they have a higher risk of complications, such as a lower success rate in osseointegration and a higher risk of infections. Smoking affects healing and overall oral health, which may compromise implant stability. It is highly recommended that patients who smoke consider reducing or eliminating smoking prior to dental implant surgery to improve the chances of long-term success.
The cost of a dental implant treatment in Mallorca varies depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the type of material used (titanium or zirconium), and whether additional procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lift are required. In general, the price per implant can range from 1,000 to 2,500 euros per tooth. It is advisable to request a personalised consultation to obtain a detailed quotation that reflects the patient’s specific needs.
