Do you suffer from missing teeth and want healthier, more aesthetically pleasing teeth that make chewing easier?
Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots inserted into the jawbone to restore the function and appearance of missing teeth. Made from titanium, implants are considered the most effective and modern solution for tooth loss. Thanks to advancements in technology and materials, implant treatments are now quicker, pain-free, and more efficient than ever.
Benefits of Implant Treatment
- Aesthetic and Functional Results: Implants offer aesthetic and functional benefits for a single missing tooth without compromising adjacent teeth.
- Alternative to Dental Bridges: For patients who have lost teeth in the upper or lower jaw, implants eliminate the need to alter healthy teeth for dental bridges.
- Complete Tooth Loss: For patients who have lost all their teeth, implants prevent issues associated with removable dentures, such as soft tissue damage or poor chewing function. Additionally, implants resolve taste loss caused by dentures covering the palate.
Stages of Implant Treatment
-
Planning: The initial step involves planning the surgery and the final prosthesis. This is done using tomography and panoramic X-rays. The implants are placed under local anesthesia, ensuring a pain-free experience. Adhering to post-operative care instructions is crucial.
-
Surgical Stage: The procedure to place the implant into the bone typically takes about 15 minutes. The duration of the surgery can vary depending on factors such as bone structure, the number of implants, and the patient’s overall condition.
-
Healing Period: After implant placement, a healing period of 3 to 6 months is required for the implant to biologically integrate with the jawbone. During this time, temporary teeth may be used if necessary.
-
Prosthetic Phase: The final prosthetic phase usually takes 10 to 12 days and involves 3 to 4 appointments. Permanent teeth are fitted onto the implants during this phase.
Latest Technologies and Developments
- Digital Planning and 3D Printing: Modern techniques include digital planning and 3D printing to create precise and customized treatment plans, enhancing the overall treatment process.
- Accelerated Implant Placement: Advances in implant technology allow for quicker, less invasive procedures, potentially reducing recovery time.
- Advanced Materials: New materials improve the biological compatibility and durability of implants, ensuring long-lasting and reliable results.
