Implantology

Implants are the best solution for replacing missing teeth. An implant is a high-tech artificial tooth root made of titanium, which can be used to replace one to several missing teeth.

A dental implant is placed in the jawbone during a minimally invasive surgical procedure using local anaesthesia. In some cases, if the patient wants an implant to replace a tooth that needs to be removed and there is no inflammation under the root of the tooth, it is possible to install the implant immediately after the tooth is extracted. After installing the implant, it takes three to six months for the implant to ossify.

A new dental crown or any other structure needed to restore chewing function or aesthetic appearance can be installed on an implant that is already fixed in the jawbone. In addition, implants can be used to better fix complete dentures in the mouth. While the presence of at least partially preserved healthy dental tissue is necessary for other types of dentures, it is not necessary for installing an implant.

If the volume of the patient’s own bone does not allow for the installation of the implant, additional bone tissue can be built. For this purpose, either the patient’s own bone tissue or artificial bone is used. In such a case, the waiting period from the installation of the implant to its attachment in the jawbone is longer – up to six months.

There is no reason to fear that the body does not accept the implant. The success of implant installation and subsequent stability in the mouth depends a lot on the person’s own health condition, oral hygiene and habits. According to various data, implants can remain in the mouth for ten years in 98 percent of cases. Implants can last a lifetime with careful and consistent oral care and regular dental check-ups.

In our clinic, many trained dentists install implants with whom appointments are made by the customer service.

During the first appointment, the patient’s questions are answered, the necessary examinations are performed, a treatment plan is drawn up and the approximate cost of the treatment is calculated.
