The Dental Implant Process
A precise 4-step journey from consultation to your final, permanent tooth.
Consultation & 3D Planning
A comprehensive assessment including 3D CBCT scanning and digital treatment planning to ensure precise implant placement
Why 3D planning is essential
Dental implant success depends on precise placement. During your consultation, we take a 3D CBCT scan of your jaw, which provides a detailed three-dimensional view of your bone structure, nerve pathways, and sinus position. This scan allows us to plan the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant before surgery begins — dramatically reducing risk and improving outcomes. We use advanced implant planning software to virtually place the implants, ensuring they are positioned for optimal function, aesthetics, and long-term stability.
Bone assessment & treatment options
Not everyone has sufficient bone for immediate implant placement. Our 3D scan reveals the precise bone volume available at each site. If bone is insufficient, we offer several solutions including bone grafting, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentation to build up the bone before or during implant placement. We'll explain all your options clearly, with realistic timelines and transparent pricing.
- 3D CBCT scan for precise bone volume measurement
- Digital implant planning for optimal placement
- Assessment of nerve and sinus proximity
- Bone grafting options discussed if needed
- Clear, transparent treatment plan and quotation
Implant Placement Surgery
The titanium implant is placed into the jawbone with precision, using guided surgery techniques for predictable results
The surgical procedure
Under local anaesthesia (or conscious sedation for anxious patients), a small incision is made in the gum and a precisely sized channel is created in the bone using a sequence of calibrated drills. The titanium implant — a small, screw-shaped post — is then placed into this channel at the exact position determined during the 3D planning phase. The procedure is far more comfortable than most patients expect, often described as less invasive than a tooth extraction.
Guided implant surgery
For complex cases or when multiple implants are needed, we use guided surgery — a custom 3D-printed surgical guide that fits precisely over your teeth or gums and directs the drill to the exact planned position. This technology eliminates guesswork, reduces surgery time, minimises tissue trauma, and delivers the most predictable results possible.
Immediate teeth (same-day implants)
In suitable cases, we can place a temporary crown or bridge on the implant(s) on the same day as surgery. This means you never have to go without teeth — you leave our clinic with a functional, aesthetic smile immediately. Candidacy for same-day teeth depends on factors such as bone quality, implant stability, and the position of the implant.
Healing & Osseointegration
Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone (osseointegration), creating a rock-solid foundation for your new tooth
The osseointegration process
After placement, the titanium implant undergoes osseointegration — a biological process where the bone grows directly onto the implant surface, creating an incredibly strong bond. This typically takes 3–6 months, during which you can eat, speak, and smile normally (with a temporary restoration if needed). We schedule check ups during this period to monitor healing and ensure everything is progressing as expected.
What to expect during healing
Most patients experience mild discomfort for 2–3 days after surgery, well-managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Swelling typically peaks at 48–72 hours and resolves within a week. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available by phone or WhatsApp if you have any concerns during your recovery.
Final Crown Placement
A custom porcelain crown is designed, fabricated, and placed on the implant — the final step to a complete, natural-looking smile
Custom crown design
Once the implant has fully integrated, we take digital impressions and design your final crown. Our master ceramists hand-craft each implant crown to precisely match the colour, shape, and translucency of your natural teeth. For front teeth, we use the same 'cut-back' technique and hand-layered ceramics employed in our veneer work — ensuring a result that is truly indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
Crown fitting and cementation
The final crown is attached to the implant via an abutment (connector piece). We check the fit, shade, shape, and bite meticulously before final attachment. The crown can be either screwed or cemented in place, depending on the clinical situation. Once placed, your implant tooth looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth — you can eat, brush, and floss normally.

Dental Implant Marbella FAQ's
Everything you need to know about getting a dental implant in Marbella
A dental implant is a long-term way to replace a missing tooth. We place a small titanium implant into the jawbone to act as an artificial root, and once it has healed properly, we fit a custom-made crown on top so the final result looks natural, feels secure, and functions like a real tooth. For many patients considering dental implants in Marbella, the main advantage is that implants restore both appearance and chewing ability without relying on neighbouring teeth for support.
At our clinic, implant treatment is led by Dr. Miguel Romero, who has a PhD from the United States. We provide advanced 3D-guided implant surgery and also carry out procedures such as bone grafting, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentation when needed. That means we can manage everything from straightforward single implants to more complex cases in one place, with the surgical planning and restorative result handled as part of one joined-up process.

That means we can manage everything from straightforward single implants to more complex cases in one place, with the surgical planning and restorative result handled as part of one joined-up process.
We normally begin with a consultation and a 3D CBCT scan so we can assess the bone properly and plan the implant precisely. We then place the implant, allow it to heal and integrate with the bone over around 3–6 months, and once that healing is complete, we fit the final crown. In most cases, the full process takes around 4–6 months. For patients looking into a dental implant Marbella treatment, this is usually the right timeframe to expect rather than thinking of it as a quick cosmetic procedure.
We use a 3D CBCT scan because precise implant placement matters. The scan shows us your bone in three dimensions and also allows us to assess important structures such as nerves and sinuses, so we can plan the exact angle, depth, and position of the implant before surgery begins. For patients comparing dental implants in Marbella, this kind of planning is one of the most important parts of making treatment safer, more accurate, and more predictable in the long term.
We use premium implant systems, and we specifically work with Swiss Straumann implants. We choose systems with a strong reputation for precision, reliability, and long-term clinical success, because with implant treatment, the quality of the system and the quality of the planning both matter. Patients are not just paying for a single component, but for a complete treatment approach designed to last.
Our implant team has placed thousands of implants using precision-guided techniques, and we quote a success rate of over 97%. While no treatment should ever be discussed as if it were risk-free, implants are widely regarded as one of the most predictable long-term solutions for replacing missing teeth when they are well planned, well placed, and properly maintained afterwards. Should an implant fail during the integration phase, we replace it at no additional cost to you.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable implant treatment feels. We carry out the procedure under local anaesthetic, and afterwards most people experience mild discomfort for 2–3 days rather than severe pain. Swelling usually peaks at around 48–72 hours and then settles within about a week. We also give clear aftercare instructions and remain available by phone or WhatsApp if you need us during recovery, which helps patients feel supported throughout the healing stage.
In suitable cases, yes. We can sometimes place a temporary crown or bridge on the same day as surgery, which means you do not have to go without teeth while the implant heals. Whether that is possible depends on factors such as bone quality, implant stability, and implant position. For patients exploring dental implants in Marbella, same-day teeth can be a real benefit, but we only recommend it when it is genuinely appropriate for the clinical situation.
Not having enough bone does not always mean implants are not possible. We use your 3D scan to measure bone volume precisely, and if more support is needed, we can provide treatments such as bone grafting, sinus lifts, or ridge augmentation. In many cases, what seems like a major limitation at first can still be managed successfully with proper planning and the right supporting treatment.
A single implant is used to replace one missing tooth, usually with one implant, one abutment, and one crown. All-on-4 and All-on-6 are full-arch solutions that use 4 or 6 implants to support a complete set of fixed teeth. That difference matters because replacing one tooth and rebuilding an entire arch are very different treatments in terms of planning, healing, complexity, and cost. For patients comparing dental implant Marbella options, it is important to understand that these are not interchangeable treatments.
Our current implant pricing includes single implant only from 900€, implant plus abutment plus crown from 1,800€, bone graft from 300€ if needed, sinus lift from 800€ if needed, and implant consultation plus 3D scan: free. These are starting prices, and the final quotation depends on the implant system, the type of crown being made, and whether any additional procedures are required. We prefer to assess everything properly first so we can give you a figure that is accurate for your case.
Yes, we do. We offer financing for up to 60 months, which allows patients considering dental implants in Marbella to spread treatment into more manageable payments. That can make it much easier to move ahead with treatment at the right time rather than delaying something important for too long.
Yes. Our guarantee policy places dental implants in the lifetime category, but it is important to understand that the guarantee is only valid if the conditions are followed properly. That includes attending a check-up every 6 months, having a maintenance cleaning every 6 months at our clinic, treating any problems we diagnose promptly, and keeping all relevant ongoing care within our clinic so we can maintain proper quality control over the long term.
Yes, and we believe it is better to be very clear about them from the beginning. Our implant guarantee does not apply to smokers, because no implant survival can be guaranteed in smokers regardless of implant quality or cleaning routine. It is also important to know that the implant guarantee applies to the implant itself rather than automatically to the crown over it, which sits under the crown guarantee category. These details affect long-term expectations, maintenance, and peace of mind, so they should be understood properly before treatment starts.
If an implant breaks or is lost due to undiagnosed periodontal disease, we will replace it free of charge provided the guarantee conditions have been followed. In practical terms, that means replacement depends on regular reviews, maintenance cleanings at our clinic, and full compliance with the policy, including the smoking exclusion. Our aim is to give patients both clarity and reassurance, while also being honest about the importance of proper aftercare.
