Discover the types of implants available and how we can help you regain your confidence.
Types of dental implants
Dental implants are the most effective way to replace missing teeth with a fixed, long-lasting result. Depending on how many teeth need replacing and on each patient’s needs, three main types of dental implants can be used.
For anyone who has lost just one tooth: the implant supports a fixed crown without grinding down the neighbouring teeth.
- Keeps the bone structure healthy
- Preserves the neighbouring teeth
- Aesthetic and functional solution
Multiple implants
For two or more missing teeth: fixed bridges on implants, with no need for removable dentures.
- Avoids removable dentures
- More stable than conventional bridges
- Preserves bone and improves chewing
Implant-retained overdenture
A removable denture secured on 2 to 4 implants, for people who have lost all their teeth and do not want a full fixed prosthesis.
- Better grip and comfort than traditional dentures
- Easy to remove for cleaning and maintenance
- More affordable than fixed rehabilitation
Immediate Loading and All-on-4 / All-on-6
Beyond the different types of dental implants, there are advanced techniques that allow faster, more effective rehabilitation.
You receive a temporary fixed prosthesis on the day of surgery, without waiting months for the final restoration.
- Aesthetics and chewing restored without waiting
- Quicker, more comfortable procedure
- Fewer appointments and shorter overall treatment
Four or six strategically placed implants support a full fixed prosthesis for the whole arch.
- Fixed, permanent alternative to removable dentures
- Indicated when all teeth have been lost
- All-on-4 reduces or removes the need for bone grafts
Not every case is suitable for immediate loading: the implants must have adequate primary stability, so we assess bone quality and quantity, the number of implants and the teeth to be replaced.
Find the best solution for your case in a personalised assessment appointment.
Laser in implant dentistry: less pain and faster recovery
At Atelier do Sorriso Dental Clinic in the Algarve, we use laser technology in our implant placement surgeries.
Precision
Precisely targets the area and depth of the procedure, essential for placing the implant exactly in the jawbone.
Less bleeding
Reduces and prevents bleeding during the procedure.
Less pain and discomfort
During and after the procedure.
Faster healing
Stimulates cell growth and reduces inflammation.
Lower risk of infection
The laser beam eliminates the bacteria it comes into contact with.
Not every implant surgery requires a laser: your dentist will decide on the best approach for your case.

Frequently asked questions about dental implants
What is a dental implant? How is it placed?
Dental implants are small titanium structures inserted into the bone to replace the root of a lost tooth. Once placed, the implant fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration) and serves as the base for a crown, a fixed bridge or a full prosthesis.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you are comfortable during surgery. We also use advanced technology in our treatments, including a surgical laser. The laser makes surgery less invasive, with less bleeding and a faster recovery. It offers greater precision and lowers the risk of infection, for a more comfortable experience.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
No, placing implants is not painful.
The anaesthesia is local, exactly the same as for any other dental treatment.
The post-operative period is not painful either; we only recommend a painkiller, an antibiotic, an anti-inflammatory and rest on the day of surgery.
Are dental implants safe?
At Atelier do Sorriso we use world-leading dental implants of high quality, together with the best and most effective technology on the market.
All implants are made of titanium, a material compatible with the human body, and every manufacturer is assessed and licensed before selling, which guarantees their quality.
Can dental implants be rejected?
There is no rejection. What can happen is low-density bone forming around the implant, in which case the procedure has to be repeated.
As long as patients follow all their dentist’s instructions, the chance of the implant not integrating is minimal.
The success rate is 99%: out of every 100 patients, there may be one case where the implant does not integrate.
Who can have a dental implant?
In general, anyone who has lost one or more teeth can have implants.
However, sometimes a patient cannot have an implant because of a condition that first needs to be assessed.
Book an initial assessment appointment to find out the price of your personalised treatment.
Who cannot have a dental implant?
People with untreated diabetes;
people with uncontrolled high blood pressure;
patients with heart conditions who do not follow their treatment;
people taking medication that affects bone healing;
patients undergoing radiotherapy;
and people with thin bone in the implant area, who need a bone graft first.
What care is needed after surgery?
After dental implant placement, the first few days are essential for proper healing and a successful treatment. At Atelier do Sorriso we follow every patient closely, with a personalised recovery plan so the process is comfortable and safe.
In the first 24 to 48 hours, it is important to follow a few recommendations to minimise the swelling and discomfort that are normal at this stage. Cold compresses on the treated area help control swelling, and soft, cold foods reduce the risk of irritating the area.
Prescribed medication, such as painkillers and anti-inflammatories, should be taken as instructed by the specialist for a smooth recovery. Patients should also avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat, which can increase swelling and discomfort.
