Dental implants are the very best way to recover lost teeth and provide an unbeatable aesthetic result. You get a healthy and beautiful smile with new teeth that do not differ significantly from your own.

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are a titanium fixture that is placed in the jawbone and acts as an artificial tooth root. Then a screw (the tooth itself) is screwed onto the titanium root. Titanium - is a material that has the best biological ability to be integrated into the human body and over time grows firmly in the jawbone.




Can I have a dental implant?

This technique is suitable for almost everyone and is suitable for solving a variety of problems associated with tooth loss, whether it is one or more teeth. In cases where one or more teeth are missing, dental implants are a solution where the dentist can restore a perfect tooth row without affecting nearby teeth. In addition, the titanium screws can serve as a foundation for both full-jaw bridges and shorter bridges. The prerequisites for successful implant treatment are that the patient has a general good health and good oral hygiene. The patient should also not smoke as smoking significantly impairs the ability of a dental implant to be integrated in the desired manner. In cases where a patient has worse, or insufficient bone in their jaws, it is sometimes possible with so-called bone inlay.

advantages:

  • Natural and aesthetic appearance - looks like real teeth and helps restore a youthful look
  • Comfort - no feeling of having something foreign in your mouth
  • Functionality - much better chewing ability compared to a prosthesis
  • Reliability and durability
  • Implants neither destroy nor adversely affect healthy teeth
  • No need to drill or grind healthy teeth to make bridges
  • No discomfort with removable denture
Conditions for implant treatment

The patient should have a good overall health condition as well as good oral hygiene for successful implantation of dental implants. If the jaw bone is insufficient or missing, there is an opportunity to extend it or expand it.

How long will it take?

The retention period that the entire process takes depends on the number of implants placed, as well as on the quality of the jawbone and its volume. The fixture (implant) itself is fully integrated after three to six months. In the lower jaw, the leg is harder and thicker, so the integration process is faster. However, the leg in the upper jaw is narrower and softer, which means that the integration process takes more time.

After the dental implant is integrated, it is time to prepare the gums for the new teeth. It takes up to two weeks and a dentist visit. As the final process, the new teeth are manufactured in a dental laboratory. This can take up to two weeks and then the permanent porcelain teeth are cemented on the titanium implants.
