Implantology and dental prosthetics in Bologna: advanced and personalised solutions

Implants in Bologna: from single solutions to complete prosthetic rehabilitations

Resolve all functional and aesthetic issues with implantology and dental prosthetics treatments in Bologna. Personalised treatments designed around the individual requirements of each patient.

The solutions range from single implants to full arch dental implants, including complex surgeries such as the Toronto Bridge and the Full Arch.

Implantology allows long-term restoration of function and stability.

Advanced Techniques for Full-Arch Rehabilitation: Full Arch and Toronto Bridge

At Marenco Dental Clinic in Bologna, we use advanced implant protocols to fully restore one or both dental arches. With precise digital planning and fixed implant-supported prostheses, we can bring back stability, chewing function, and oral balance in a predictable and lasting way.

Full Arch and All-on-4 / All-on-6

The Full Arch approach replaces all teeth in an arch using a minimal number of strategically placed implants.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 indicate the number of implants and create a strong foundation for the fixed prosthesis, ensuring optimal load distribution and overall function.

This technique restores chewing, arch stability, and oral harmony with durable, long-term solutions.

Toronto Bridge: Fixed Implant Prosthesis

The Toronto Bridge is a custom-made, fixed prosthesis screwed onto implants, fully replacing the dental arch with precision, strength, and natural integration.

Remember: All-on-4 / All-on-6 define the implant placement (the foundation), while the Toronto Bridge is the prosthetic structure attached on top. Surgery gives stability; the prosthesis restores function and balance.

Integrated Implantology in Bologna

Combining Full Arch protocols with the Toronto Bridge allows complete restoration of chewing and arch stability. Every treatment at Marenco Dental Clinic is personalized to deliver safe, precise, and long-lasting results.

Innovative techniques: immediate loading and computer guided surgery

At the Marenco Dental Clinic we use high-purity, commercially pure titanium (Astra – Dentsply), combined with modern and minimally invasive methods, such as immediate loading and computer guided surgery.

These procedures guarantee comfort, safety and long-lasting results.

Placing an implant at the right time helps maintain oral balance and function.

Eco-friendly and metal-free dental prosthetics in Bologna: safety, technology and sustainability

At Marenco Dental Clinic in Bologna, we use eco-friendly, metal-free dental prosthetics manufactured through a highly controlled in-house process, designed to ensure safety, quality and the lowest possible environmental impact.

Technology and safety in internal processes

Our in-house digital laboratory operates with an integrated system free from potentially toxic production processes: no harmful fumes, vapours or residues are generated during manufacturing, and every phase is monitored to ensure a healthy working environment.

Thanks to our latest-generation dental milling machines, equipped with work chambers automatically cleaned by air and water, we minimise waste while guaranteeing micrometric precision in prosthetic production.

Metal-free solutions allow us to achieve aesthetic, biocompatible restorations that are better tolerated by patients with metal sensitivities, offering a natural and long-lasting result.

This working philosophy enables us to offer our patients modern, sustainable and high-performance prosthetic solutions, fully aligned with the most advanced digital dentistry technologies currently available.

 

Bone reconstruction and certified biomaterials

In cases where there is an insufficient quantity of bone to insert the implants, we use different bone reconstruction techniques with certified biomaterials, both synthetic and of animal origin. This ensures that the treatment can be completed by reducing the recovery times and increasing reliability.

Thanks to the experience of our team, each implantology treatment is custom-designed to ensure an effective, natural and aesthetically harmonious rehabilitation.

Implant-supported prosthetics ensure a fixed, stable, and natural result.

Semi-definitive flexible prosthetic solutions for specific cases

In selected clinical situations of partial fixed rehabilitations, such as patients of a very advanced age, heavy smokers, or people who suffer from bruxism or other cases that must be examined subjectively, we suggest semi-definitive flexible prosthetic materials.

Their greater elasticity compared to traditional rigid materials reduce the occlusal stress and provide a better functional adaptability.

This means that these materials, much more elastic compared to traditional rigid materials, offer an optimal aesthetic result, are less stressful for the dental structures and guarantee excellent value for money.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implantology (FAQ)

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which prevents pain during surgery.
Dental implant surgery is generally less invasive and less painful than a tooth extraction.
After the procedure, mild discomfort or swelling may occur, usually resolving within a few days and easily managed with prescribed medication.

How long does dental implant surgery take?

The duration depends on the number of implants and the complexity of the case.
Placing a single implant usually takes between 10 and 30 minutes.
More extensive rehabilitations or additional procedures, such as bone regeneration, may require more time, always ensuring patient comfort.

How soon can I eat normally after the procedure?

A soft diet is recommended immediately after implant placement to support healing.
With a fixed prosthesis, patients can gradually return to normal chewing quite soon, following the clinician’s instructions.
In more complex cases, normal eating is typically resumed within 1–2 weeks, avoiding hard or sticky foods at first.

How long does a dental implant last?

A dental implant can last many years and, in some cases, a lifetime.
Its longevity depends on proper oral hygiene, regular check-ups, healthy gums and bone, and the patient’s lifestyle.
Smoking or certain systemic conditions may reduce implant lifespan, while consistent care helps ensure long-term stability.

Can a dental implant be rejected?

True rejection of a dental implant does not occur.
Titanium is a biocompatible material and is well accepted by the body.
In rare cases, the implant may fail to integrate with the bone (osseointegration).
When this happens, after a healing period, the treatment can often be successfully repeated.

Can I get dental implants if I smoke?

Yes, but smoking increases the risk of complications.
Tobacco slows healing, may interfere with osseointegration, and increases the risk of infection.
Reducing or quitting smoking before and after surgery significantly improves success rates and implant longevity.

Is the dental implant visible once it is placed?

No. The implant is completely hidden within the bone and surrounding tissues.
After healing, a custom-made crown is placed, designed to blend naturally with the surrounding teeth in shape and color.

Is special maintenance required after treatment?

Yes. Proper maintenance is essential for long-term success.
Daily oral hygiene and regular check-ups with professional cleaning help prevent infections and maintain implant stability over time.

Is it possible to get implants if I have limited bone?

Yes. Dental implants can also be placed when bone volume is reduced.
Advanced techniques such as bone regeneration, grafts, or the use of smaller implants allow safe and stable rehabilitation.
Each case is carefully evaluated to determine the most suitable solution.

Is immediate loading always possible?

No. Immediate loading depends on specific clinical conditions.
Adequate bone quality, good implant stability, and overall patient health are required.
When these conditions are met, fixed teeth can be placed within a few hours after surgery.

Can I return to work after the procedure?

In most cases, yes—often on the same day or the day after.
Normal, moderate activity is recommended, following post-operative instructions.
For more complex treatments, recovery time may vary and is assessed by the clinician.

Is special oral hygiene required after prosthetic rehabilitation?

No. At home, oral hygiene routines are similar to those for natural teeth, using a toothbrush and interdental cleaning tools.
In the clinic, two professional hygiene maintenance sessions per year are generally recommended.
