Do you have an annoying gap between your teeth that you want to fill with the best solution possible? You've heard that dental implants are the industry gold-standard, but who do you entrust this procedure to?

On the internet there are far too many stories of people eventually losing their dental implants because the bone around the dental implant starts to erode away. This happens because:

• 1. All dentists go through a learning curve, that's why it's called a dental 'practice'. Patients with failing dental implants may have been 'practiced' on. You don't want a general dentist who occasionally places implants placing YOUR implants.

  Dr. Rebeca at R&H DENTAL is a Specialist Implantologist with a Masters in just dental implants and has placed 1000's of dental implants.

• 2. Proper measurements of the bone thickness weren't taken and the bone on one side of the dental implant is too thin.

  At R&H DENTAL we have a 3D x-ray machine which can precisely measure bone thickness BEFORE surgery.

• 3. A cheap or imitation dental implant brand was placed.

  At R&H DENTAL we place only the world's best: Straumann. The Swiss brand which is the best (Google it). We are so confidant in our product we provide a written lifetime guarantee.

90% of the dental implants on the market are less than 5 years old and these are no long term longitudinal studies to prove how they cope with time.

There are a few steps you can take to ensure that you are getting a reputable dental implant in Marbella:

• 1. Research the dentist or dental clinic: Look for reviews and testimonials from previous patients, and check to see if the dentist or clinic has any certifications or accreditations.
• 2. Ask about the materials used: Make sure that the dental implant and any accompanying materials, such as the abutment and crown, are made from high-quality materials that are known to be safe and durable. Ensure that an 'implant passport' is provided at the end of a treatment which proves the authenticity of the pieces.
• 3. Discuss the procedure with the dentist, and ideally have your implant placed by a periodontist, which is the dental specialist best specialised to place a dental implant, like Dr. Rebeca Daemi Zabalza: Ask about the experience and qualifications of the dentist performing the procedure, and make sure that you understand the entire process and any potential risks or complications.
• 4. Consider the cost: A dental implant could potentially last a lifetime. Ensure you are buying the best dental implant and having them placed by a skilled Implantologist. Do it right the first time, and save money in the long-run.
• 5. Seek a second opinion: If you have any concerns or doubts, it may be helpful to get a second opinion from another dentist or, ideally, an dental implant specialist, like Dr. Rebeca.

  Overall, it is important to do your research and choose a reputable dentist or clinic that has a track record of success and satisfied patients.

It’s important your surgeon gives you your ‘implant passport’. This is a manufacturers guarantee that the implant you paid for is an original product of that company. Some clinics claim to place a quality implant but because they appear similar on final x-rays, just put in a cheap, poorly-tested replica instead.
