Dental implantation

The implant will replace your missing tooth. The procedure consists of two steps, first step is to install an artificial root in a jaw, and as a second step after three months we set a crown (temporary and then permanent). Sometimes the bone is too small to accommodate the implant. In this case, before the installation of an implant we must carry out the operation for increasing bone volume.

Why implants are the best way to restore a tooth

  • Full chewing ability is restored
  • Bone tissue atrophy is prevented
  • Adjacent healthy teeth remain untouched

How the treatment works

  1. Consultation + 3D scan
  2. Treatment plan and cost
  3. Implant placement
  4. Crown is placed after 3–4 months

How an implant is structured

Implants are an artificial tooth root — the part that sits within the bone.

On top, an abutment is placed — a connector that secures the crown.

  • Implants look aesthetic and natural. With proper care, they can last around 25 years, whereas dentures last a maximum of about 10 years.
  • If the crown needs to be replaced, it can be done without difficulty.

Types of dental implantation

Depending on the number of missing teeth, bone volume and soft tissue condition, different treatment protocols are used.

Single tooth implant

The classic method involves replacing one missing tooth with an implant and a crown.

Immediate implantation

The implant and a temporary crown are placed immediately after tooth extraction.

Implantation for multiple missing teeth

If several consecutive teeth are missing, restoration is possible with implants and a bridge.

Implantation for complete tooth loss

All-on-4 — a full dental arch fixed on 4 implants
All-on-6 — a full dental arch fixed on 6 implants
These methods allow tooth restoration even with significant bone loss.

Mini implants

Used to secure removable dentures and provide anchorage during orthodontic treatment.

When implantation is needed

Implantation is used in the following cases:

  • One tooth is missing
  • Several consecutive teeth are missing
  • Complete tooth loss on the upper or lower jaw
  • Inability to wear a removable denture (gag reflex, material sensitivity)
  • Bite misalignment due to missing teeth

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How is preparation for dental implantation carried out?
The preparatory stage is one of the most important in dental implantation. The patient must pay extra attention to oral hygiene, as sterility is the key to a successful procedure. In addition, during the preparation stage, the jaw system is examined, 3D computed tomography and jaw scanning are performed. Oral sanitation is carried out — removal of plaque and tartar, treatment or extraction of teeth.
The doctor said I have bone tissue atrophy — what is it and what can be done?

Bone tissue atrophy is a reduction in its volume that occurs immediately after tooth extraction. By nature, normal blood supply within the bone is achieved through the load transmitted via the natural tooth root during chewing. As soon as a tooth is removed, metabolic processes in the bone stop and it shrinks, reducing in size. This often prevents dental implantation, as it is impossible to secure an implant in bone with insufficient volume.

There are several solutions: performing a sinus lift on the upper jaw (the floor of the maxillary sinus is displaced and the space is filled with bone material — this increases bone volume), bone augmentation through guided bone grafting, and soft tissue augmentation.

Are there many contraindications for dental implantation?
Dental implantation, like any surgical procedure, has certain contraindications. Absolute restrictions include malignant tumours, diabetes, tuberculosis, immune system disorders (HIV, AIDS) and blood clotting disorders, acute diseases of the nervous system, blood vessels or joints. In addition, implantation is not recommended or is allowed only after preliminary treatment for heavy smokers and those with poor oral hygiene. Overall, there are few contraindications, and the procedure is only contraindicated in acute and severe stages of disease.
What is included in the cost of dental implant placement?

The all-inclusive package includes: implantologist consultation, diagnostics (X-ray or computed tomography), treatment planning, implant system and consumables, local anaesthesia, implant placement using the chosen method, impression taking/scanning, fabrication and placement of permanent restorations on implants, and post-operative check-up.

Additional charges apply for extraction of damaged teeth, bone grafting, sinus lift, fabrication and placement of temporary restorations if needed, professional oral hygiene, and treatment of dental diseases.

Dental implantology is the branch of surgical dentistry that deals with implantation. It is within this field that missing teeth are restored by placing specially designed structures made of titanium, ceramics or other materials in their place.
