Dental Implants

Use of implants

People at all times have been suffering from tooth loss problems — they are suffering now and most likely will be tortured by this problem also in the future. Currently it is already possible to avoid excessive stress after the loss of teeth due to the continuous evolution of the medical technology, which provides the ability to quickly recover one, several or even all natural looking and well-functioning teeth. The teeth are remarkable for such excellent features, and they are restored in the most professional and efficient way for the time being by using implants.

Implantation rescues in different situations

First, implantation can be performed in many cases: if there is the lack of one, several or even all teeth. If one or more teeth are missing, implantation allows you to protect the adjacent teeth: they are not polished, remain natural, intact. If only one tooth is missing, one implant is screwed in and an aesthetically good looking crown is placed on it. If several teeth are missing, no more implants are necessary: a dental bridge of several teeth can be placed on one tooth, which remains stable and does not encumber the bone. Implant types: screw-like dental implants, plate-form implants, periosteal implants. If all teeth are missing in your mouth, implants allow refusing the uncomfortable removable partial dentures, causing much discomfort. Four up to eight implants are required for high-quality prosthetic restoration of one toothless jaw, on which a much smaller, more convenient and more aesthetic dental plaque can be placed or modern stable prostheses.

Dental implantation methods

Single-stage method

The implant is screwed together with the healing cap. This avoids additional intervention and healing time is reduced by one month. This is a good choice when you are missing one tooth.

Do I really need implants?

This quite often posed question can be answered briefly and clearly: dental implants are the best option for everyone having lost teeth for various reasons. High-quality dental implants restore the aesthetic appearance and functionality of teeth, and help you solve more oral and dental problems. Dentists recommend to apply for implantation in the following cases:
  • You are missing one or more teeth; it does not matter either in the front or in the upper part;
  • You have lost all your teeth and you want to restore the pre-existing full rows;
  • You suffer from painful, falling down gums
  • You want to maintain a healthy jaw bone, to avoid extremely harmful atrophy.
In each of the aforementioned cases, dentists fully assess the patient’s health condition and make sure if implantation is certainly possible, and in no way undermine the well-being and health of the patient. A careful examination is conducted to make sure whether there is enough bone in the mouth (if there is not enough bone, you may be recommended for bone augmentation procedures), whether there are no infections, connective tissue damage, whether gums are healthy, which also plays an important role during implantation and after it. Therefore, patients can easily feel and trust the doctors who are well aware of their job responsibility and consistently comply with the requirements.

Do dental implants suit for everyone?

Anyone who has lost a tooth is a candidate for dental implants. It is not your age that matters, but your health condition — we could insert dental implants for almost every candidate, but it is necessary to consult a physician before the implantation.

When is the bone augmentation necessary?

The bone needs constant stimulation to maintain its form and function. In jaws this function is performed by teeth: after tooth loss, bone volume is reduced by 25 per cent during the first year and this process continues the whole life and often up to the level when the bone is no longer suitable for implantation without additional bone restoration procedures. The more teeth are lost, the more remarkable are aesthetic and functional changes. Especially, the atrophy accelerates while wearing removable dentures. Patients who wear removable dentures are condemned for faster loss of remaining own teeth, increased patches accumulation, gingival inflammation, and bleeding.
