Dental implants in Palma
Including the cases that until now meant being treated on the mainland.
What an implant is and when it is worth it
An implant is an artificial titanium root that integrates into the jawbone and carries a crown made to measure. It replaces the lost tooth without grinding down its neighbours and without resting on the gum, which is what separates how it behaves from a removable denture.
The question is not age, it is the gum
Practically any adult with healthy gums is a candidate. Lack of bone stopped being an absolute contraindication years ago: there is regeneration, sinus lifting and alternative anchorage for situations that were ruled out a decade back. What cannot be done is knowing without a CT scan.
Living on an island changes the logistics, not the treatment
The protocol is the same as everywhere else in the group: CT, intraoral scan, every implant planned digitally and guided surgery with a custom template. What changes is that every stage is resolved in Palma, follow-up included — and follow-up is the part that goes worst when it means flying.
If your case does not need an implant, we will say so. Keeping a tooth of your own with a good prognosis is nearly always the better option.
-
Chewing function
You can bite and chew normally again, with no restrictions on your diet.
-
Natural appearance
The crown is designed around your shape, shade and proportions, in harmony with your face.
-
Stable and comfortable
Nothing moves or comes loose. Cared for like a natural tooth, with hygiene and check-ups.
At this clinic
Implant work at our Palma clinic
The digital planning and the surgery are done here, without referring the case off the island.
For patients who live here seasonally we build the calendar of stages around their actual dates.
- 3D workup and guided surgery at the clinic itself.
- Every stage resolved on the island, follow-up included.
- A calendar built around discontinuous stays.
Types of dental implant
How the process works, step by step
-
Study and diagnosis
3D scan, intraoral scan and assessment of gum and bone. You leave the first visit with a diagnosis, not a generic quote.
-
Digital planning and guided surgery
We plan each implant position on the digital model and manufacture a custom surgical guide. Surgery is shorter and more precise.
-
Placement and temporary teeth
We place the implants and, where the case allows, an aesthetic temporary prosthesis the same day. You do not leave without teeth.
-
Final prosthesis and maintenance
Once the implant has integrated, we fit the definitive crown or bridge and set up a check-up plan.

Common questions
What patients usually ask us
01 How long before I can get back to normal after surgery?
In most cases people return to their usual routine within 24 to 48 hours. We recommend avoiding intense physical exercise for the first few days and keeping to a soft diet during the first week.
02 What care do dental implants need?
The same as a natural tooth: daily brushing, interdental cleaning and regular check-ups. An implant cannot decay, but the bone supporting it can be lost if hygiene slips, so professional maintenance is part of the treatment.
03 What is the difference between an implant and a bridge?
An implant replaces the root of the tooth and does not touch the neighbouring teeth. A conventional bridge requires grinding down the adjacent teeth to rest on them. That makes the implant the more conservative option when the neighbouring teeth are healthy.
04 Can I have implants if I currently wear a denture?
Yes, and it is one of the changes that most improves quality of life. Moving from a removable denture to fixed teeth on implants restores chewing strength, removes the need for adhesives and, by not covering the palate, brings back your sense of taste.
05 When will I see the final result?
Aesthetic, functional temporaries are fitted from the outset, so there is no period without teeth. The definitive work is fitted once the implant has integrated with the bone.
06 Am I too old for implants?
Age alone is not a contraindication. What matters is general health, bone quality and gum health. We routinely treat older patients.
07 What if I do not have enough bone?
Bone regeneration, sinus lift and zygomatic implant techniques make it possible to treat cases with severe bone loss. A diagnosis of "not enough bone" often means the case needs a specific technique, not that it has no solution.
08 How much does a dental implant cost?
It depends on the number of implants, the type of prosthesis and whether bone regeneration is needed first. We do not quote fixed prices without seeing the radiographic study: that would be a made-up figure. After the first assessment we provide a written quote detailing the full treatment.
