Dental implants are made of titanium, which does not cause allergic reactions. During the healing period, these implants integrate perfectly into the bone. This allows them to be used to support any type of dental restoration, whether crowns, bridges, or dentures. Among their best qualities is that patients feel no difference between the implants and their natural teeth. At our clinic, we work with the highly reliable SGS implant system, which has been on the market for 15–20 years.
In addition to being a very durable solution, dental implants do not cause allergic reactions due to their material and provide a very stable, secure support for any type of dental restoration. Moreover, they can be used in cases where other solutions would not be feasible or would only work with additional inconveniences. For example, when a single tooth is missing. An implant solves this problem without the need to grind down adjacent healthy teeth. It can also be used for end-of-row tooth loss, where there would otherwise be no posterior abutment tooth to secure the restoration. Implantation is also a fantastic solution when all teeth are missing. In such cases, a full-arch bridge is built on the implants, providing an aesthetic and fully functional set of teeth.
Implantation is always preceded by a personal consultation and an assessment. Planning the treatment requires dental X-rays and CT scans, as these reveal the quality and quantity of bone where the implant will be placed. In some cases, bone grafting may also be necessary in the affected areas.
The procedure is then performed under local anesthesia or, in some cases—especially when multiple artificial roots are being placed at once—under sedation. Therefore, it is completely painless. The site for the implant screw is prepared using various mechanical and manual instruments, and then the dental implant is screwed into place. Finally, a healing screw closes it off, and the incisions made in the gum are sutured.
Later, the healing screw is replaced with a gum-forming screw, followed by the appropriate implant abutment. After taking an impression, all that remains is to fabricate the most suitable dental restoration, which—following any necessary adjustments—will fit perfectly onto the implant.
The osseointegration period for an implant is typically 3–6 months. During this time, the artificial root firmly integrates with the jawbone. If needed, a temporary restoration can be made so the patient is not left without teeth during the healing period.
After the procedure, there is a chance that your face may swell. In this case, applying ice packs can speed up recovery. You may experience mild pain during the first few days, but standard pain relievers are usually sufficient. Sutures are typically removed after about a week.
It is extremely important to maintain proper oral hygiene. It’s advisable to brush your teeth even more frequently than usual. This helps ensure a truly long-lasting solution, as a properly placed dental implant, with correct oral care, can last a lifetime.
A properly placed and maintained implant is an extremely long-term solution. The titanium artificial root itself can remain stable for a lifetime, while the crown built on it can be replaced if necessary. Regular checkups and professional dental hygiene treatments are essential for long-term success.
One of the greatest advantages of a dental implant is that it mimics the function of a natural tooth. The artificial root anchored in the bone directly transmits chewing forces to the jawbone, helping to preserve its structure and stability. This is especially important because after tooth extraction, the unloaded bone can begin to deteriorate over time.
Another advantage of implants is that there is no need to grind down adjacent healthy teeth. This is a significant benefit over traditional bridges, especially when a single tooth is missing.
With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, a dental implant can be a lifelong solution.
Many patients wonder: is a dental bridge sufficient, or is an implant necessary?
With a bridge, the teeth bordering the gap must be ground down, and the restoration is fixed to them. With an implant, an independent artificial root is placed where the missing tooth was, and a crown is made on it.
Implants are particularly advantageous:
The final decision is always made based on a detailed assessment and diagnostics.
Unfortunately, there are cases when placing a dental implant is not recommended. This includes situations where someone has very poor oral hygiene or is a heavy smoker. In such cases, the risk of implant rejection is much higher.
The procedure is also contraindicated in cases of untreated diabetes, blood clotting disorders, or when taking certain medications. If someone has previously undergone radiation therapy, the procedure is also not recommended. For young patients, it’s advisable to wait until they turn 18, as the dentition may still be developing until then.
In every case, we decide on the procedure based on an individual assessment.
At DENTEO, implantation is not just a surgical procedure, but a carefully planned, long-term solution.
