10,000+ implants since 1987. Your first visit is completely free.
implantology
An artificial root.
A smile for life.
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that integrates directly into the upper or lower jawbone, replicating the function of a tooth's natural root. A ceramic crown is then fitted on top, virtually indistinguishable from the original tooth.
Unlike removable dentures or traditional bridges, the implant is a permanent solution that doesn't affect the adjacent teeth, preserves the bone and lets you eat, speak and smile with complete confidence and naturalness.
- Biocompatible titanium — Integrates with the bone with no rejection or allergies
- No bone deterioration — Stimulates the bone just like a natural root
- Natural aesthetics — The ceramic crown matches the colour and translucency of the tooth
- Proven longevity — With proper hygiene, they can last a lifetime
- 3D digital planning — Every case planned down to the millimetre before surgery
Three steps towards
your new smile
From diagnosis to the final crown, Dr Alberto Cerezo and his team are with you at every step.
We carry out a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan that lets us visualise bone volume and the position of nerves and sinuses, and surgically plan the exact position of each implant in 3D. Nothing is left to chance.
Free visit · No obligationUnder local anaesthetic, we place the titanium screw in the bone following the digital plan with millimetre precision. The procedure takes between 30 and 60 minutes. In many cases we can fit a temporary crown that same day, so you never leave the clinic without a tooth.
Under local anaesthetic · Pain-freeAfter the osseointegration period (3 to 6 months), during which the titanium fully fuses with the bone, we fit the final high-strength ceramic crown. The result: a tooth that looks, feels and works exactly like a natural one.
Fixed, stable result · Regular check-ups includedThe exact solution
for every case
From replacing a single tooth to a full arch. Every case is different and deserves its own solution. We assess yours and recommend the most suitable technique.
Single Implant
The ideal solution for replacing a single missing tooth. One implant supports an individual crown without needing to shape or affect the neighbouring teeth, preserving all the healthy dental structure.
- Loss of a tooth due to fracture or decay
- Congenitally missing tooth
- Recent extraction with healthy bone
Multiple Implants
When several consecutive teeth have been lost, we can place strategic implants to support a fixed ceramic bridge. Fewer implants than teeth to replace, with an equally solid, natural-looking result.
- Loss of 2 to 5 consecutive teeth
- Uncomfortable removable partial dentures
- Traditional bridges that are failing
All-on-Six
The definitive solution for those who have lost all, or almost all, of the teeth in one arch. Six strategic implants support a complete, high-strength fixed prosthesis. In many cases, fixed teeth are fitted the same day as the surgery.
- Total or near-total tooth loss
- Denture wearers
- Multiple teeth with a poor prognosis

The change that
transforms your life
A result that goes far beyond aesthetics: getting back the confidence to chew properly, speak with certainty and smile for real, without a second thought.
Making the right decision
Implant or removable denture:
the difference, in numbers.
The dental implant is the closest solution to your natural tooth: fixed, comfortable and built to last a lifetime. It doesn't move, doesn't rub against the gums, needs no adhesives, and preserves the bone that a removable denture wears away over the years.

| Feature | Dental implant ✓ | Removable denture |
|---|---|---|
| Fixation | Permanent, like the natural tooth | Removable, can move |
| Comfort | No rubbing or pressure on the gums | Can cause discomfort |
| Maintenance | Normal brushing, like the rest of your teeth | Daily cleaning outside the mouth |
| Preserves the bone | Yes — stimulates the bone like a root | No — the bone is reabsorbed |
| Durability | Lifelong with proper maintenance | 5–10 years, needs replacing |
| Appearance | Identical to the natural tooth | Visibly artificial look |
Does having a dental implant fitted hurt?
No. The surgery is carried out under deep local anaesthetic, so you won't feel any pain during the procedure. More detail in Does getting a dental implant hurt?
How long does a dental implant last?
With proper maintenance, dental implants are a permanent solution that can last a lifetime. The long-term success rate is high, according to systematic reviews (Spanish Society of Periodontics and Osseointegration, SEPA). The key is good oral hygiene, regular check-ups and not smoking, since tobacco is the main risk factor that can compromise osseointegration.
Do I have enough bone for an implant?
Most people are candidates for implants. If there's bone loss, guided bone regeneration techniques can restore the volume needed before or during implant placement. The 3D scan we carry out at your first visit lets us accurately assess the quantity and quality of the bone available and design the most suitable plan for your case.
How long does the whole process take?
In the standard procedure, it takes between 3 and 6 months from implant placement to the final crown — the time needed for the titanium to fully integrate with the bone (osseointegration). However, in many cases we can fit a temporary crown on the day of surgery, so you never leave the clinic without a tooth. For full-arch cases, the All-on-Six technique allows fixed teeth in a single day.
Is a dental implant expensive?
A dental implant has a higher initial cost than other solutions, but over the long term it's the most economical option: it needs no periodic replacements, doesn't affect the neighbouring teeth (avoiding future treatments) and preserves the bone. We offer finance plans tailored to you so cost is never an obstacle. The exact price depends on each case and we'll tell you upfront at your free first visit, with no surprises.
Is it done under general anaesthetic?
No. Implant placement is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, which completely removes the pain without the need for general sedation. For patients with high dental anxiety, we offer conscious intravenous sedation, which lets you stay relaxed throughout the procedure while breathing independently. There is never any need to go to a hospital or an external operating theatre.
How long does dental implant surgery take?
Placement surgery takes between 30 and 60 minutes per implant, under local anaesthetic and completely pain-free. At Dentaláser we use 3D digital planning for minimally invasive, high-precision surgery. In many cases we fit a temporary crown that same day. The whole process up to the final crown takes between 3 and 6 months of osseointegration.
What's the difference between a dental implant and a removable denture?
The implant is a titanium root permanently fixed to the bone: it doesn't move, needs no adhesives, preserves the bone and works exactly like a natural tooth. The removable denture rests on the gums, can shift, and wears away the bone over time. At Dentaláser, with over 10,000 implants placed in 30 years, we recommend the implant as the definitive solution.
From what age can you get dental implants?
Implants require bone development to be complete, so the minimum age is usually between 17 and 19, depending on the case. There's no maximum age: patients of 70, 80 or older can receive implants if their bone health allows it. At your free first visit to Dentaláser, we assess the quality and quantity of available bone regardless of age.
Does health insurance cover dental implants?
In general, standard health insurance doesn't cover dental implants, as they're considered an elective treatment. Some specific dental insurance plans do offer partial cover. At Dentaláser we have flexible finance plans with easy monthly instalments so cost is never a barrier. The first visit and the quote are always free, with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions about
dental implants in Fuengirola
Specific questions Málaga patients ask us before their first visit.
How much does a dental implant cost in Fuengirola?
The price of a dental implant in Fuengirola depends on the clinical case: the number of implants required, whether bone grafting is needed beforehand and the type of crown chosen. At Dentaláser, the first consultation is completely free and includes an initial diagnosis and a detailed written quote, at no extra cost. We also offer finance plans tailored to you so cost is never an obstacle. Call us on 952 46 67 33 or book your appointment online to find out the exact price for your case.
How long does implant surgery take at the Fuengirola clinic?
Implant placement surgery is an outpatient procedure: it's carried out at our clinic at Avda. Mijas 23, Fuengirola, under local anaesthetic, and takes between 30 and 60 minutes. It requires no hospital stay of any kind, and the patient can go home the same day as the procedure. In many cases we fit a temporary crown during the same surgical session, so you never leave the clinic without a tooth. The whole process up to the final crown takes between 3 and 6 months, which is the time needed for the titanium to osseointegrate with the bone.
