Dental implantation

A dental implant is a root-shaped titanium screw to which a dental prosthesis is attached. The implant is placed in the jaw bone. After 3-6 months, a prosthetic is attached to it. Implants can support individual dental crowns, bridges and even removable dentures.

Dental implant placement is performed on people whose jaws have already formed. These are usually adults (from the age of 18) and there are no final age limits for this dental restoration technique. If You suffer from cardiovascular insufficiency, kidney disease, diabetes or have a weak immune system, You should tell Your dentist about such conditions during the consultation. He will decide, based on medical history, whether this treatment is advisable and if so, will select the most appropriate implant type. treatment alternatives such as prosthetics.

During dental implantation, the patient does not feel any pain and discomfort as the procedure is performed under local anesthesia or deep sedation. If necessary, painkillers are prescribed after the procedure.

The cost of implant placement depends on the scope of treatment, the number of dental implants, as well as whether preparatory treatments will be required: bone augmentation, orthodontic treatment, and so on. Because dental implants are often a part of a complex treatment, the cost is very individual in each case. You will find out the exact price after consulting, when the doctor draws up Your treatment plan with estimated costs.

Pain is a very individual thing. We can assure You that You will not feel any pain during the procedure itself. The gums may be tender for a few days after the procedure, but they will not bleed. Slight swelling is possible. Many patients do not even need painkillers. The very next day, they return to their normal rhythm of life.

No, it is not necessary. Local anesthesia can provide complete protection against pain. As the dentist is preparing the site for the implant, You will feel vibration and weak pressure, but You will not feel any pain. On the other hand, if You want to "sleep" during the procedure - the dental clinic Pro-implant also offers deep sedation.

A bone augmentation procedure is needed when there is not enough existing bone to firmly embed the implant. If the bone in the site of the missing teeth has not been exposed to the natural chewing load for a long time, it gradually perishes - bone resorption begins. There are several different bone reconstruction procedures - the doctor will recommend the most suitable one according to the individual condition.

The implant doctor works sparing the oral tissues as much as possible. Therefore, more than one implant can be placed during one visit. Still, it all depends on the individual situation.

You could say no. If You have a serious illness such as cardiovascular failure, kidney disease, an impaired immune system, always tell Your dentist. Sometimes the side effects of medicines can affect the healing process, so Your doctor should be informed about all the medicines You take regularly. Based on Your medical history, the doctor will decide on the suitability of a dental implant.

The science of implantology is constantly evolving. Research has shown that implant success rate ranges from 96 to 98.8 percent. This means that the chances of it not taking are very low. 

It should be borne in mind that if You have dental implants, You must visit Your dentist and dental hygiene specialist regularly. It is also necessary to take careful care of yourself with proper daily dental care.

Dental implants are the most ideal way to restore the functions of lost teeth. Unlike a bridge prosthesis, the implant protects the natural tooth tissue and adjacent teeth. Also, placement of an implant has a mechanical effect on bone tissue that inhibits bone loss. The bridge prosthesis does not change the function of the tooth and does not protect the jaw from decline.

The implant placement procedure usually takes about 1 hour, but if the situation is complicated and additional treatments are needed, it could take longer. The time of the whole procedure may also depend on the number of teeth being implanted. 

During the initial consultation, the doctor will assess the condition and provide a treatment plan and course. Because dental implantation is a multi-stage procedure, the time taken to perform the entire procedure, from placement of the ‘metal root’ to prosthetics, depends on how long the implant to become conjoined with and integrated into the jaw bone. Usually it’s about 3-6 months.

Rejection due to titanium allergy is possible, but it is very rare, about 1-2 percent. of all implants. From time to time, however, there are cases where the implant does not integrate with the bone. In this case, the oral surgeon performs a replacement and monitors the healing process closely. We make such change for FREE in our clinic.

The crown (tooth) that is placed on the implant is visually indistinguishable from the natural teeth. Laboratory technicians adapt tooth crown to look identical to existing teeth in color, size and shape.

Smoking is a relative contraindication. It slows down blood flow in the oral mucosa, making it difficult for wounds to heal, which increases the chance of the infection entering the implantation site. In addition, poor blood circulation increases the likelihood of implant failure. Smoking can also shorten the life cycle of implants.

We highly recommend stopping smoking to ensure successful treatment. Smoking is strictly prohibited on the day of surgery and for at least 2-3 weeks afterwards.
